Ray 9. Smith Had a Hand.

II has been a matter OF comment here
that Ray r. Smith. formerly Clerk OF the
Assembly. who was attacked by Assembly
men for alleged improper activities in con-
nection with legislative matters then. was
engaged with members OF Mr.. Baldwin's 8
firm in certain work Mr Smith is consid-
cred one Of the cleverest biIl drafters In
the state
This scheme Of legislation would permit
power interests 10 form corporations 10

They would have TO show contracts netting
enough returns 10 pay ;ho original cost
and maintenance cost NJ all me works and
all accrued charges at the end ~ hfty
years When that term ended All the
works would 90 20 the state which also
each year would receive q rental from the
corporation based on TIC storage capacity

Could Market Excess Power.

But this reservoir would develop power
beyond the quantity necessary 10 take care
OF the charges and 9mortization fund
otherwise II would not be worth buildln:
This excess power the corporation could
market at any rate 1t could obtain up TO th5
point where the Public Service Commission
lnterfered. This profit could go back TO the
benefciaries-that IS. the same group es
sentially who formed the corporation-as
interest on money paid in for stock AMI

"a the 'ratablc rebate" That is, this
group Of people or interests which now
cannot get full benefit out OF its power sites
would be able TO develop them to the ut
most. obtain very cheap power. market sur
plus power at a profit and pocket the
profit, all under guise OF acting without
profit as a state agent.
What this profit would amount to ii
shown by the estimate OF the old Watc.
Supply Commission that at s. a horsepower
the state would receive from the Sacandagd
project a net annual revenue Of $4,000
Prices for electrical energy vary from S3y

More than that at the end Of the fifty
year period the bcnehclaries that is. the

That would guarantee that the prices
would not be- very burdonsome to tho
water power man. and would prevent IN.
state from selling its electrical energy or

That is. these contracts would put the
control OF the water power situation for
ever In the hands NJ the fortunate prcson,

Such p scheme Is understood by most
persons here To be contrary to the ideas

WHAT TO DO AND HOW
MuncIlers and Chewers-Gum Mastic uIators Prominent-Listen to
 Some Peoples Eating.

I think one of the most reprehen- sibIe habits, and one indulged to an almost universal degree, is that of eat ing in public.
 I don't mean eating in public res taurants, but chew ing and comforting the mouth during the progress from one place to another.
 The chewing gum habit is almost a mania. The other day ] counted in a single railroad car forty-eight men, women and girls chewing like mad. There were only two others in the car. as the passenger list numbered exactly fifty.
 You can forgive the neditative COW who chews the cud Of reflection and refreShment. But to see forty eight apparently sane, apparently refined persons, moving their jaws as though not to do so would entail a death penalty, was neither 6. pretty e1e- vating sight.
 While this chewing cannot be spe- officially termed eating it necessi- tates the same jaw movement. Tn it's excessive zeal it is even worse than
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-10-04

the chewing of cake or candy, in which altogether too many indulge, to uphold the real ethics of public de- pertinent.
 Once upon q time the emigrant or the person with claim to social distinction was the only one who thought of eating on a boat, in the cars or on the street.
 Now apparently this is all changed. Fruit and candy stands in stations, or at the entrance to same, do a thriving business with the travellers or pedes- trians who think nothing of muncF- ing as they go on their way along public thoroughfares.
 In the theatres the box of candy is apparently as mucuh part of the performance as the programme. Wo- men. mop their eyes with ono hand and 2 chocolate into their mouths with the other, evidently considering that this conmingling of sentiment and sweetness is the true com mbina- ton conducive to the enjoyment of q play
 It is not alone the eating in public which is reprehensib1e, but the way the great majority eat. Once on board ship the captain called my at tention to two women at his table. He said, Lock at the way Mrs. s. eats, and listen to the way Mrs r
 In the majority of cases this public

nunching is something to which one pie of how few persons understand that the noise1ess method of masrica- ton is the only one permissible.
 The person who does not mind eat ing cream puffs or peanuts in public would not be likely to nince matters by attempting a silent way of dispos- ing of these eatables.
 While there is much in the rules of etiquette laid down by social arbiters that is unquestionably strained and absurd this eating in public is an eV- idence of bad form that cannot be condoned save on one p1ea--that of real starvation. That condition does not appear to be that Of the munch- CTS and cheWers who most certainly have the habit in it's worst form
