PENNSYLVANIA UTILITIES.

TT HE Pennsylvania Legislature is wrestling
l. with the problem of enacting law Great
ing a Public Utilities Commission to regulate the
public service corporations Of that State. bill
creating such commission introduced some
time ago in the Legislature and it is said that it
will be passed by the House, but will probably be
defeated in the Senate. IT is supported by Gov
ernor Tener and is regarded as administration
measure, but it is doubtful whether the Governor
can push it through Under the bill the commits
sion has large powers. 1t would be vested with
control as TO the character Of service reasonable
ness Of rates and even the financial policies of all
public service corporations. No public service
corporation could organize without first having
the consent Of the commission.
The commissions oversight, by the terms OF the
bill, extends to steam and electric railroads, gas
electric and water power companies; express and
baggage transfer companies ferries turnpikes and
tunnels storage warehouses, refrigeration
plants, grain elevators, sewerage companies and
corporations in various other lines Of activity.
The mere fact that such bill is considered in
Pennsylvania where the voters are usually docile
shows that light is breaking in that State. One
State after the other is adopting the public ser
vice commission idea and in few years people will
wonder why all States did not have such commits.

WHY PEOPLE
DO NOT VOTE
Politics Now a Contest Be.
tween the Fat and the
Lean Goats

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
have noticed that you have spok-
en- several times somewhat critically
of the lack of interest in the govern
ment Of our city on the part of the
citizens. May It not be that many Of
those who do not go to the polls or
care to vote are the very ones who are
most interested in civic affairs? IL
am one of those who has absolutely no
interest in voting, and in explaining
the reason may make clear the feel
ing and seeming lack of interest in
some others.
| used to preach that it was every
mans duty to go to the polls and
vote according to his conscience, but
today I cannot summon one good rea-
son for voting, unless one desires Of
fee. and that is a bad one. I was rear
ed in the Republican camp, was once
one of the most jealous, but the prin-
ciples once uppermost have now van
ished.
AS to the two great parties in civic
affairs ] have lost all confidence. be-
ing convinced that the parties as par
ties, are purely selfish, and have no
other ruling motive than perpetuating
! themselves in office for what they
can get out of the business Of politics.
The conduct of the city's affairs il
illustrates vividly why I have lost all
confidence in either party ever work
/ ing for the intrinsic good of the city
! Whichever party gets into power, the
same program Of weighing down the
city with additional bonds, multiply
ing officers, increasing salaries. stav.
ing off the payment of debts, and rails.
ing the rate Of taxation will be con.
tinued
At the rate that we have been COINS
the conditions that prevail in Russia
where forty-five out of every Thousand
live on the tax payer will eventually
prevail. Either party will go just a!
far as it can in adding new burdens t
the citizens, and have left any hop,
1 of reelection. This has reduced poll
tics largely to the simple question o
turning out a score of fat goats fol
an equal number of lean ones. I hav,
said that / could not summon a reason
for voting. There is one other bad rea
son, a most regretable reason, tha
l confess has been uppermost with me
and TO my personal knowledge will
others; namely, to elect those who will
do the least damage. Present persona
gain, and not the city's final good b,
putting it on a sound business basis
is the only motive evident in city pol
itics. Let either party pledge itself t
put the city on an economical and bus
mess basis. and reduce taxes ten centi
on a hundred each year for ten years
and there will be a new interest il
politics. This, ! am informed by on,
who has spent many years in one o
the highest offices of the State, can b
done, and at the same time give bette
service and more improvements thai
we are now getting for our money.

nHIn CRAFT CHARCES.

n HE investigation of charges of graft against
the members Of the Ohio Legislature was
brought about by the manufacturers and mer.
chants of Columbus. They raised large sum OF
money which was placed in the hands OF the
Chairman of the Chamber Of Commerce who turn
ed the matter over to a detective agency with the
result that charges have been brought against
number Of members.
= Ii is said that the merchants and manufacturers
became disgusted at the repeated demands made
on them by crooked legislators and determined
10 put a stop 10 them. Never did the Columbus
merchants do a better thing. In Illinois the cor
ruption of legislators was exposed just as II was
in New York State. In fact the Legislatures OF
large States seem to have been particularly sub
jected to corrupt influences.
What are called the interests in a large measure
have been responsible for graft In the past they
wanted legislation and we're not particular about
the means by which it was secured. Corrupt men
we're quick to take advantage of the opening and
the practice of bribing legislators one hand
was followed by blaokmailing and strike bills on
the other so that in some States the situation be-
came intolerable
As logical outcome Of this the bipartisan
combinations we're formed in some Legislatures,
members OF both parties combining TO pass or to
hold ND bills as suited their fancies and to get what
there was in IT, The situation became intoerable
The Ohio business men intend TO have a house
cleaning. And if business men in other States
afflicted with graft should follow their example
they could soon put the grafters TO rout and TAKE
a long step towards securing clean LEGISLATORS
And one step that would help would be The pre-
venting of lobbyists from attempting to manipu
late legislation.

Mr.. Dole undoubtedly expresses the views of

some ways this is not surprising. Issues of years
ago are not issues today Prejudices that existed
then, do not exist today. The crossing of the
party line is not so difficult.
Mr. Dole thinks that politics. especially in munie-
ipal affairs, is merely contest between the lean
and the fat goats. And it must be confessed that
this fight for spoils has much TO do with It, The
argument in favor of partisan politics in city gov
ernment is that the local organizations and the

is not so appealing it once was

THE STORY OF THE aBRANs' OF JACKsONs ADMINISTRATION

Under twenty-six Postmaster Cen
erals of the United States did James
Henry Marr serve before he was
gathered to his fathers. He entered
the department in 1885 under Amos
Kendall, who has gone down in his
tory as the brains" of Jackson's
two administrations, and he died a
chief clerk when William F. Villas was
enjoying under cleveland the dis
tinction Of being the country's first
Democratic Postmaster-General since
Buchanans administration.
Kendall has been called the man
who really put Jackson up to many
OF his best known acts as president,
said Mr. Marr TO me one day IN the
early eighties. II remember that IL
was freely said all through Jackson s
administrations that Kendall was the
real author of most of old Hickory's'
State papers. But. however, that
was, do know that it was Amos
Kendall who made the fight, with
Jackson back of him. which establish

Smith. Extra Billy as a young man,
in the late twenties, had established
mail routes running across Vir-

into Georgia; he was what a good
many years later would have been
called a Star Router. Now, Extra
Billy was not content with the regu-
lar compensation from the Govern
ment, he was always asking for ex-
tras, and when he did not get them
he usually made a fuss; hence, his
nickname, which gave him national
notoriety long before he was elected
Governor OF Virginia In 1S46.
well, when Amos Kendall became
Postmaster-G he made up his
mind that some of the mail routes in
Virginia In which Extra Billy Smith
was interested we're costing good
bit more than they ought to, and that
still other routes were unnecessary
and he proceeded TO act accordingly
only to find himself at once in hot

HEALTH REGULATIONS.

A PPROACHING warm weather brings up
N thoughts of the Board of Health and the
campaign it started last summer for the protee-
ton of the people against the contamination oil
food sold in markets.
1t will be recalled that the Board met furious
opposition in some quarters. And yet in ITS pro-
gram the Board was right All reasonable precau-
tions should be taken TO protect the food OF
the people and thereby protect the health OF the
people WHY? someone may ask we oiont
have all these fads and notions some years ago
and we lived and got along all right.
There is a very easy answer. 1t IT is taet that
contaminated food causes illness, then the boaro
of Health should do all in ITS power TO protect
speople from the dangers of contaminated food,
for illness is a drawback and an economic eWl IN
the community. There is great loss IN Illness
an unfortunate loss.
A man at the head Of small establishment
which EMPLOYS not many persons, spoke the other
er dav of the heavy losses sustained by illness.
On an average he said from one to two OF ms en-
ployes were of every day because OF Illness In
other words a manufacturer or merchant, or
anv other business man has TO reckon MS loss
caused by illness and illness makes his expense
rreater.
Hence If disease can be avoided there is saw
ne no the city This fact alone justihes the boare
Of Health in insisting that contaminated 1000
shall not be sold to the people OF the city All
sanitary precautions should be taken and the reg
uatons enforced.
No one, for example has an idea OF how much
disease as well as discomfort is caused by dusty
