CHANGING THE o

Appeal "
Thus we have a practical demonstration of the farreaching
effect Of the public utilities law. The power over utilities is so
firmly fixed with the state commission; the authority is s. COM
pletely removed from local officials. that the Commercial Appeal
ieeis warranted III relaxing its vigilance and saying a word for
te people, beng assured, OF course, that nothing will come of it.
Senator Rice has three bills in the legislature providing for
the things that the Commercial Appeal says might have been
a good thing" in the charter. Does the Commercial Appeal.
advocate the passage of the bills authorizing the city to con-
struct or purchase a street railway system, a telephone system
and a lighting plant?
Did the Commercial Appeal raise its voice against the utni-
ties bill, which was discussed about two months before it
passed? Does it advocate the repeal Of the utilities law?
Just what does the paragraph above quoted mean, if any
thing, in addition to attempting to fool the people?
The Commercial Appeal will recall that the utilities bill was
in charge Of a committee Of which Senator Rice was chairman.
His little son was stricken with illness at school. Senator Rice
and his family rushed to the bedside, The little fellow, a splen-
did boy, loved by everyone who knew him, died.
Before Senator Rice could return to Nashville a temporary
chairman was appointed, and the bill was reported favorablv
and an attempt made to secure its passage, The action was 50
repugnant that the senate rebelled, and it was held up until
Senator Rice returned, He fought it, but it PASSED.
Nearly all the papers printed the story, but for some reason
the Commercial Appeal did not. 1t has never commented upon
the grewsome fact.
It was as silent on the subject as il is upon the liouor SELL
ing, hold-uPs and general collapse of the Iaw-enforcing machin-
cry OF the city, that reached a climax when the city officials
took up their abode in Nashville to fight the city manager bill
land they do say that legislative fights are expensive things
A few years ago the legislature passed an enabling ACT and
the people voted for a municipal lighting plant, When it looked
like Ashcroft might have to follow the dictates OF the people 4
bill was drawn and the threat made to throw the city into the
hands OF a receiver, and the people lost the lighting plant
Some OF the lawyers who were mixed up in that plot that
defeated the will OF the people and served the corporate interests
are inthe forefront against the city manager bill.

CAMOUFLAGE

For the past week or two the Commercial Appeal and the
Nashville Tennessean have been engaged in the reciprocal bust
ness OF copying each others editorials condemning the city
manager bill for Memphis, and taking caustc filings at The News
Scimitar by referring to it as the mouthpiece," "the organ"
and other terms of reproach, which, instead Of describing The
News Scmtar, measure the writer's regard for the mission of a
newspaper gained from his own experience.
Col. Luke Lea is the reputed owner of the Tennessean.
Ioincldent with his arrival in this country the Tennessean began
rs editorial attacks upon the Memphis charter bill, 1t may have
been merely a coincident, but it is difficult to conceive of an
editorial policy of a newspaper contrary to the views Of the
owner.
Inc TACT that Col, Lea is in the army does not divest him Of
the right to conduct his newspaper as he sees fit, or to direct II
~ accordance with his political views, and his being in the arnv
to his political activity. ~
u the commercial Appeal has a genuine interest in the SOL
diers why did 1T not insist upon the carrying out of the resolu-
non adopted by the legislature recommending that returned SOL
diers be given the official positions r~elinquished when thew went
