Says Public Should Know.

The public has a right to determine
whether it is receiving fair treatment at
the hands of these public service corpor-
atoms. If they are charging more than
they should, the public should know. If
they are not charging as much as they
should then the public should know the
reasons for any advances.
If l am stepping on anybody's toes /
want to wake them up to the feeling that
exists throughout the country regarding
public utility bodies. The actions Of
the great corporations are giving the
only excuse that there is under the
Stars and Stripes for socialism.
THE street car companies the gas and
electric companies all occupy the public
streets. All are supported by the peo-
pie. Can they say This is my property.
i can do with 1t what l choose?' Sure
they can, providing. the rights of the
people are safeguarded. We must have
these corporations. They are a part of
civil .zation and should be permitted to
receive fair return on their invest
ments. II It Is right that a street rail-
way company should charge a five-cent
fare. then 1t should be permitted to do
so. They should be permitted charge
10 cents IL this amount Is fair. In de-
Gliding just such questions as these the

Tom Johnson's Victories.

The speaker told Of the successful eff
forts of Tom L. Johnson to bring about
lower street car fares in Ohio. He said
he believes he understands enough about
the operation o. street railways without
making any further investigation to
know that they should give universal
transfers. He read reports of officers
or the Engineer Corps of the army re-
garding the advisability of Harvesting
the Great Falls of the Potomac, and
said he hoped Congress will make the
necessary appropriations for such an
undertaking.
Several matters of interest were con-
sidered by the chamber during the bust
ness meeting which preceded Senator
Pomerenes address. Chief of these was
letter from the District Delegate Asso-
citation asking that the chamber go on
record in favor of the representation OF
the District by a delegate in Congress-
On the motion of Albert Schulteis. the
president was authorized to appoint a
special committee which shall consider
the District delegate matter and also the
bill recently introduced in Congress by
Representative Tavenner This commit
tee is to report at a special meeting Of
the chamber called for that purpose
Chairman John Dolph of the conven-
ton committee told Of what has been
accomplished by that body and urged
the members to give their support to
the campaign for raising a fund with
which to bring conventions TO Washing
ton.
Education for the Blind.
William f. GUIDE read report prepared
by the school committee concerning the
proposition that the blind children of the
District be educated In the public schools
The committee was OF the opinion the
word INDECENT should be stricken from
the appropriation providing educational
facilities for sightless children. Under
the present system 1t is necessary for the
parents to take a pauper's oath in order to
receive the assistance Of the District In
the education OF their blind children. The
committee was OF the opinion the educa-

Denunciation of public utility corpora
tons in general, accusations concerning
what he declared to be an excessive over
capitalization of the local street railway
companies and approval Of the movement
for the representation Of the District in
Congress by a delegate were embodied in
an address delivered by Senator Atlee
Pomerene of Ohio. member of the Senate
District committee, before meeting OF
the Washington Chamber Of Commerce
last night
He spoke In terms of praise for the
newly ccreated public utilities commission
Of the District He declared the street
railway companies should be forced to is
sue universal transfers and came out
strongly In favor of the Harvesting Of the
Great Falls of the Potomac.
Concerning the local street railway
companies he said:
Question of capitalization.

thority that 100000 will cover the cost

the moving stock, and am told that the

is some water In this stock When I con-
slider that the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, with 1928 miles of
track in and out of the District, has a
capitalization Of $4,000. OOO or 1896, 825.O5

there is considerable air In this stock
In referring to the movement for Dis
trict delegate in Congress Senator Pom
creme said:
Il cannot understand why you people Of
this great capital of the greatest nation
OF the world do not rise up and demand
the right to vote. I don't know what
pearls OF wisdom dropped from the lips
of the legislators who deprived the people
of the District of the right to vote. I
think. In View Of the calcium light of
present enlightenment that those pearls
OF wisdom were In reality pearls of paste
