hopes of the Mississippi boys. but if
the supreme court of that state has
not yet declared this law unconstitu-
tional it viii more than likely do so
at the first attempt toward its en-
forcement. Al similar measure, passed
by both houses of the Kentucky Iegis-
lature a few weeks ago., was vetoed by
the governor of the blue grass state on
the grounds of unconstitutionality, ex-
planning that it was beyond the right
of the ~lawmaking bodies to prohibit a
person from giving his own funds to
whomsoever he desired. Four years
ago Governor Wilson, also of Ken
lucky, vetoed the same easur fol-
the same reasons.
OF course, If it were possible to
break up the very Objectionable and
degrading tipping custom by legisla-

The New Contract

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Public utilities and corporations which provide them are subjects in which the American people feel the keenest in- terest Until recent years the public util- fly companies, although enjoying rich ncnopolies, carried on their operations without legal restraints; the result was such gross abuses of their privileges that the public welfare demanded that their greed be limited by law. Rebates and the corrupting railroad pass are now barred alike by public opinion and the penal statutes. Formerly these corpora tions might make or break a man at their pleasure: now discrimination be- tween patrons is held to merit a term in prison.
 In view of this enlightened state of public opinion, it is strange to find public utility corporation engaged in the old unjust practice of discriminating be- tween patrons.
 Yet, we have such corporation right here in Birmingham
 We have given this company franchisef worth millions, and It has taken it's toll from the earnings of the people until Its owners pockets are full of money. Our return is the contemptuous disregard oi wholesome public opinion. with which, at its whim or pleasure, it proceeds 10

charge one patron one price and another a different price. for the same service.
 I refer to the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company.
 The discrimination is in charges for electric current
 This company charges no uniform rates for current: il charges what the traffic will bear. 1 am reliably informed that one firm in the city buys it's current as low as two cents per kilowatt; others arc charged five cents; number of users pay flat rate of six cents. You and [ pay 12 cents kilowatt less meas ly discount; and some of us use as much current as the fellows who pay the six cents-but, then, we are not company panders.
 Do you think this injustice should be permitted to continue? There Is nothing in tho new lighting contract to stop II. The company will continue to discrimi- nate. It will continue to give one man a better rate than another: it's favorites will continue to buy six cent current, but you and T will be charged. all the law allows.
 Yet, there are said to be some who ara going to vote to fasten the new contract on the city. Perhaps they are the bene- fciaries of special contracts and get cur

 Telephone Merger

Col. W. T. Gentry president of the Southern Bell Telephone company, ae- eompanied by Evelyn Harris, superin- tendent Of advertising for his company, was in Birmingham yesterday. He was entertained at lunch and returned to his home in Atlanta yesterday afternoon. Colonel Gentry authorized the statement that he did not come to Birmingham upon any matters relating 10 the rumored mer- ger between his company and the Peo- ple's Home Telephone company.
 q am very glad indeed that the rate increase matter which we requested of the authorities is settled,' said Colonel Gen try. Although some compromises were made nevertheless the fact that the case is over is some compensation for the com promises made on both sides of the mat ter"
 Colonel Gentry has recently been tenta- lively named for the presidency of the Cumberland Telephone company, which selection places him in the front rank Of telephone experts in America The new position TO be given the popular Southern Bell officials will not interfere with his present wcrk. He will take over the properties located in Tennessee, Ken lucky and Louisiana and they will be more than ever linked with the other systems of the Bell universal arrange ments. Colonel Gentry will possibly be given additional assistants commensur- ate with greater duties given him.
 Upon authority of Colonel Gentry. Eve ly Harris said that the improvements of the local system heretofore authorized by the company and announced by District Manager D. F. Turnbull. would proceed at once. Mr. Harris said the company de- sired to cement the good relations exist ing between the company and its sub soribers and to that end would endeavor to give better service.
 "The improvements to be made here," said Mr Harris. Twill include the in stalation of various up to date equip ment and Will serve to work the service here up to the very maximum of effieen- cy. Extensions planned will give the company an opportunity to serve undeyel- oped territory without delays, depending upon the growth of Birmingham for an adequate return upon the investment

II is said that there is little question but that eventually the two com panies will get together. The proposed merger cannot be made as a merger on account of a city statute preventing such a scheme, but 1t is said there are many ways that the Bell company could ef- feet the transfer if a trade agreement is made between the two concerns.
