Can't vet. Franchise.

Provision is made by the terms Of
the bill for the submission Of fran
chises to q vote of city or town. but
the commission holds the authority to
refuse approval of any such franchise
and such refusal would in effect be a
veto upon such franchise. 1t, in sub
stance. withdraws from cities and
towns any control whatsoever over
their public utilities. It in effect Gre
ates perpetual franchises in such util-
lily concerns as are now exercising
utility franchises in the cities and
towns Of this state. Such commission
would have absolute control of the
matter Of rates and charges and Of the
approval or disaproval Of the quality
and character Of service rendered by
any such utility concern operating
within the cities and towns. Such bill,
by Its terms. in effect, withdraws from
the cities and towns Of the state any
right Of recourse to the courts Of the
land for protection against any order
Of such commission, should 1t feel that
Il had reason to complain Of such order
because such commission constitutes
In Itself the whole authority Of the cit
les and towns Of the state with refer
ence to all matters pertaining to the
ing local utilities.
Cities Can't Appeal 70 Courts.
The bill, by its terms, does not with
draw from the utility concerns the right
OF access or appeal TO the courts. should
any such utility concern be aggrieved
at any order Of the commission, and 1t
might be said further that any attempt
to 80 withdraw from the utility con-
Germs Of the state such right Of access
to the courts would be unavailing. Thus
the cities and towns under the terms Of
the sammis bill would find themselves
deprived Of a legal remedy in court as
over against the right and privilege Of
their opponent in the contest for serv-
ice and for fair and equitable charge
for the service. to proceed in court
for relief against any order Of such
statewide commission at which 1t might
deem itself aggrieved.
In addition to the control Of local
utilities. the bill covers what very ma
turaily constitute the state wide utiil-
ties. That Is. the railroads, express
companies, fnterurban railways, and
toll telephone lines, which are natural
ly the subject Of state wide control.
Thus 1t would seem that the contest IL
between the preservation OF local self
government in the municipalities on the
| one hand and the creation OF q state
| wide commission which win In effect
destroy substantially every vestise OF
local self-government, 50 far a. at
fects the control Of local utilities.

Hair Rem0Vers

Thus it is proposed to preserve in

rHE mnRrH OF HEALTH.

Dr. Wiley's estimate OF the pecuniary
value of the health Of the nation though
stupendous. is ~ NJ means fantastic or
/ speculative. but is based upon generally
accepted and undispured facts. The
economic value Of working mans life,
or Of his physical efficiency, is demon
strable. within reasonable limits and is
often judicially declared. That and the
census are the factors which produce the
result, which Or. Wiley mathematicaly
computes at the almost incOmpreheusibie
sum Of 90 billions Of dollars.
There is scarcely q more familiar say
ing than that q mans best asset is good
health. Generally speaking. and from
the material and economic point Of view,
it is correct But what is true Of the
individual is no less true of the mass ;
which means that the nations best asset
is the health of the peopIe-their capgc-
ity and efficiency for developing the
other resources Of the country. The ma
tional health is primary and funda-
mental In both kind and degree, there
fore. it ranks as by far the greatest Of
our natural resources.
The logical conclusion is that the pub
lie health is the most desirable and, we
might say, most Imperative object for
conservation. That the national govern
nent should In the most effective man
ner possible safeguard this great re-
source is iudisputaDle. In the very
nature Of the case protection Of health
must be chiefly confided 20 local author
tiles But it is surely as appropriate
and as incumbent for the national gov
ernmeHt 10 protect the nation against
the Importation Of disease as against
the Importation Of smuggled goods, and
to guard against poisoned food as vigi-
lautly as against spurious coin. The
ability to do this in the most effective
manner is the right measure Of the
official machinery which should be con
structed for the purpose.

THE GoTERyOR'S MESSAGE

Governor Dix expresses a number Of
admirable sentiments in his message
upon direct primaries He says with
perfect truth:
A failure 10 keep faith with the people
must be regarded as a betrayal of the
voters Of the state, while a legislator
elected on a direct nomination platform,
whether Democrat or Republican. who
withholds his support from an adequate
and honest direct nomination bill viii
be open 20 the charge Of repudiating a
public duty and a personal and political
obligation. and 20 this charge no eX-
planatiOn can be offered and no defence
framed.
Nor can exception be taken to the fol-
lowing statement:
The time has passed 10 question the
wisdom of direct nominations. AT the
last state election all political parties
entered into a contract with the people.
The people expect that the contract will
be carried out 70 the letter This just
expectation cannot be met by the enact
ment of a halfway measure that In
effect will be a repudiatiOn Of the sys-
TEN of statewide direct nominations
promised during the campaign.
Those things are as well said as they
are true. 1t is a pity, however, that the
public is left in the dark as TO what Mr.
Dix means by a statewide system and
by an official ballot. The public i'm
preston is that his statewide system
would exclude all the important state
offices. 1t would be statewide only in
the sense that all local officers would
be- nominated under it, It would he the
same kind of statewide system as that
10 which Murphy offers no objections.
which covers candidates for Assembly
men and aldermen, and no others, but
would differ from it in degree. SINH
larly the official ballot which Governor
Dix is supposed TO be ready 10 accept
has no merit besides being official. II is
very bad ballot. II is because Gov
ernor Dix INDUCES in phrases which are
just as capable Of being used TO defeat

plying only 10 two minor offices every
where in the state, that the public is cold

Still there is hope for Governor Dix.
He grows less perfunctory upon the sub
icct Of direct primaries every time ne
writes. His latest message seems 10
show genuine feeling I'm time he may
become a real direct primary man. His
experiences as Governor under Murphy
