ABOUT TWO TELEPHONES.
rCedar RAPIDS Republican,

In Des Moines the newspapers are
almost united in opposition to the
granting Of a second telephone fran
chise, which some promoters propose
TO put into effect. Some persons are
easily carried away with such propo-
sito:ns for they imagine 1t means COM
petition and they have heard that
competition is the life of trade. But
with telephones it is entirely different.
Two systems create nuisance In any
city for it means that every man mus,
pay for two phones If he wants to
keep in touch with all his neighhors.
The whole thing is an annoyance,
nuisance and device Of promoters
not growing out of any needs OF bus'-
ness. but out Of the desires OF promot-
ers TO make money, eventually by SELL
ing out to the other company. we nave
passed thru such experiences here anc
we do not believe that the people
would ever tolerate another undertak-
ing Of that kind. The best thing U,
have IS one company, one system anu
then make that company keep its sys-
tenn up as it ought TO be kept up ano
70 give service at such rates at WI!
nernnit II to live decently and that
without impositions on the people.
Regulation will go much farther than
go called competition, for there can Dc
no competition In telephones. You
might as well build two waterworks
systems as two telephone systems III
a city.

SURROGATE IN FAVOR OF
ABOLITION OF HIS COURT
Fowler Thinks Business Should
Be Transferred to Su-
preme Tribunal.

Surrogate Fowler took a stand yester-
day in favor of transferring OF business

ton OF special courts and the consolida-
ton OF the judicial system were In line
with tn. present tendency in Great Britain

The Surrogate was discussing the
Wende bill which may be reported out

so-called owen bill for the regulation and
Incorporation OF stock exchanges. visited
the local exchange yesterday at the invl-
tation OF President Mabon and the board
OF governors. He viewed the mechanism OF
the exchange from the gallery to the floor
and the clearing house. He visited odd
lot" and other brokerage houses. In the
course of his tour he admitted to news
paper men that he had never been in the
Stock Exchange before. but that he had
read much about 1t and therefore knew
great deal about II.
senator owen said that the main pur-
pose OF his bill was to prevent manipula-
ton and to protect fools" He added that
he did not question the honesty OF purpose
OF members OF the exchange, but that It
could not protect itself from Outside in
fiuences."
1.-THE Stock Exchange with it's present
mechanism cannot prevent manipulation
said Senator owen, while the Govern
ment can. by the fullest publicity. Under
the present regulation of exchanges the
man who has control of the stock of a
corporation can buy or sell II at any price.
He can do 50 by telling one broker to
execute a selling order at such price and
another a buying order at different
price. When my bill has passed and the
Postmaster General sees any such sus-
picious activity In a stock he will have the
Immediate power to investigate and put
q stop to such transactions"
Senator Owen admitted that he had
not made up his mind just how manipula-
| tion could be stopped.
"For myself" he said, II have not
agreed with those members of the com
mittee like Nelson, Bristow and Reed,
who have looked upon the New York
Stock Exchange as a gigantic gambling
place. 7 recognize Its usefulness as a
great market place and its service In
bringing foreign capital into tho country"
