friends, is Blauvelt half so fe-
rocious - his roar.

lows that where there is a civil

for every nan reaching the pass

Give a thing and take a thing"
This Is the ancient rule by which
our tariff schedules were revised

"A crooked tree will have a
crooked shadow" This wise old
saw must have been penned by

"Of two evils choose the least"

next week.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1911-05-19

The platform is the most radical thai
has ever been framed by any wing oil
the two big political parties in the
East, or the West either, for that
matter.
Like Lion-tamer.
Both James L. Blauvelt, of Passaic,
and Mr.. Record lauded the platform to
the skies at the auditorium dinner
which followed the convention. After
speaking Of laws passed by the recent
Legislature Mr.. Recc~1 said of the
members of the Legislature:
"The Governor has made the rep
resentatives of these corrupt~Or-
ganizations do his bidding In the
Legislature, but he has lone 1t as
the Iion-tamer makes his captive
lions perform their tricks In the
cage They do his bidding under
the fear of the lash of his whip,
but unwillingly and with sulIen
temper, and they are always watch
ing for the unguarded moment
when they can leap upon him and
tear him to pieces.'
There was a sharp outburst of APP
plause for this utterance. Mr.. Record
was the personal representative of
Governor Wilson in the framing of bills
and other work incident to the enact
ment of several laws at the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature. More thar
ordinary significance Is attached to his
words since 1t became evident by his
appointment to the State Board of As
SCISSORS that he possessed the complete
confidence of the chief executive.
These are among the chief planks in
the Progressive platform:
oregon plan of electing United States
senators.
Eighty-cent gaJ.
Removal of Public Utility Commits

to make reductions.
Taxation by loci assessors of all
tangible property Except railroad roll

chises and rolling stock.
Complete home rule. including the
power for each municipality to change
its form of government without refer
enee to the Legislature; power to con-
struct and operate light, water and
trolley plants; power to exempt per-
sonal property and buildings from tax

single tax.
Initiative, referendum and recall.

The convention, which was held at
the Essex League headquarters, Halsey
and Camfield streets, opened with the
election of Edmund b.. Osborne, of Es-
sex, as chairman Of the State league
to succeed William p. Martin. who re-
signed when appointed 20 the county
judgeship by Governor Wilson. Frank
Higgins, of Jersey City, was re-
elected secretary: Lathrop Anderson.
of Newark, State treasurer. and Walter
Simpson, assistant State secretary.
Discussion of "Gas' Plank.
The platform was taken up section
by section, and there was smooth sail
ing till the third section was reached,
which in the original draft called for
the removal forthwith of the public
utility commissioners If they did not
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1911-05-19

reduce the price of gas to eighty cents,
the same as in New York, and put
Communication rates back to where they
were before the recent increase. AL
derman Jerome Congleton was the first
to object. He said hat there should
be an investigation first, and that the
commissioners should not be called
upon to act unless they had the definite
facts before them. Charles l.. Will
Jams opposed the plank for similar
reasons. Herman B.. Walker called at
tention to the fact that the Supreme
Court of the United States had de-
clared that eighty cents was a fair
rate. Mr.. Congleton replied that he
was not Directing to an investigation
of the rates, but that he did oppose
an arbitrary reduction, which would
not be according to law. and would
probably be upset.
Blalrvelt fought for the plank in it's
entirety. Borden d. Whiting took a
position fatty against Blauvelt.
81 deny" said Mr.. Whiting, chat
the new public utilities law was enact
ed because rates were excessive. 1t
was enacted to create a tribunal to
decide just what we are discussing,
tiic JUSTIFY VI lnJuSllCe Oh rates. WH6ti
you pass a plank like this you are
taking a hack at the very root of the
regulation idea. You are laying the
ground for public ownership, a propa-
ganda which I am not yet prepared to
join. I am not DESTROYS of sweeping
aside the tribunal we have created"
Record Insists.
Mr.. Record said hat if the plank
could not pass as it stood the organi-
cation couldn't do any business.
"Why?" said Whiting.
Five or six men give their time to
threshing out these matters" continued
Record, 'and when these things come
up you who are objecting are not there.
The people who think out programs for
this body have invited Mr.. Whiting to
several meetings. The majority of us
do not come here with hazy and nebu-
lous notions On these things"
Mr.. Whiting said that he had not
received any invitation to any of these
gatherings.
Mr.. Record, continuing, said that he
was opposed to the gathering of this
internal nonsense called data" When
the reduction of gas in New York to
eighty cents was approved by the Su-
preme Court the tribunal limited that
it should be still lower, he said. Mr..
Record pointed out that it was the
Legislature Of New York that enacted
the S0-cent law after the Public Utili-
ties Commission had refused to estab-
fish that rate.
Attacks Utilities Commission.
Mr.. Record became somewhat per-
sonal in remarks to Mr.. Whiting. He
attacked the Public Utilities Commits
sion. describing two OF it's members as
machine-ridden men who always sided
with the corporations when they were
in the Legislature. and the third mem
Der recently appointed by Governor
Wilson as inexperienced.
Frank H. Sommer then took the floor.
He pointed out that the law specih-
cally stated that the commission could
AXE no summary action in regard to
reducing old rates. They could do so
only after notice in writing and after
hearing. Hn spoke against the form
of the plank IN a cool. logical way, and
when he had finished Mr.. Record sug-
