70 Comb! Power Of lHliss


Dallas, Texas, Aug. 1.-THE first
growing power OF utilities over NUM-
cipal affairs is centered in the activi-
ties OF the League Of Texas Munich
palities which will meet In Austin
on August 18th and take formal
steps for the protection OF municipal
interests. The Executive committee
of the League has issued call urg-
ing the mayors and interested citi-
zens from every city, town and vii
lage In Texas to be present
The call cites the. fact that mu-
inequalities have suffered all over the
country by the domination Of pub
lie utilities and their control over
civic affairs. 1t also calls attention
to the fact that the so called public
service corporations are thoroughly
organized. that they have the best
legal talent that oan be attracted to
heir interests, and are fully pre-
pared at any time to combat any
efforts to weaken their growing
strength on city affairs.
Further attention Is directed to
the clever manner in which the utili-
ties have heretofore succeeded In
breaking down material opposition
by pitching the small town and small
cities against the big cities and vice
versa playing both ends to middle.
while the public was the middle"
II Is noted that every state in
the United States with the exception
of Texas, Iowa and Delaware has a
Public Utility Commission. In order
that all sections of the state and
all cities and towns may understand
fully the extent of the efforts of the
League of Texas Municipalities. all
mayors are urged to attend. Each
city represented by its mayor or
proxy will have one vote. regardless
Of the size. The call compliments
the far sightedness Of the legislature
in defeating past measures favorable
to utilities.

with 10000 New
Republicans, Comes Chance
For Lively Flgh

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. IA
statement issued from the headauar-
tiers of the Texas Republican Council
here today says that republican
census" taken by the Council recently
discloses the fact that thirty thousand
republicans have moved to Texas
within the past 2 years. A large per
cent of the new corners are oil men
and 1t is the claim Of local Republic
cans that this new blood. together
with the. wide spread change in sent
iment throughout the State will ma
terially increase their chance for
success in the 1920 election.
The Council announces that Texas
republicans are preparing for the
most vigorous campaign ever con-
Quoted in the history Of the State
and organization is being perfected
in practically every county in Texas.
At meeting Of the Executive Com
mittee of the Texas Republican Coun-
ell, 1t was decided to have a booth
at the Dallas Fair this fall for the
purpose of distributing literature and
working up sentiment In favor of
the party In this state,
The High Cost Of Government.
The recent statement made by one
OF our leading commercial agencies
that the cost of living has doubled
during the war On most all neces-
sary commodities pales into insight
ficance when compared with the cost
of government. IN. 1912. the adva-
forum tax rate in Texas was ten
cents while this year 1t is rs cents
and In addition thereto we levy a
production tax Of million dollars
per annum upon oil.
No line of industry can show quite
so reckless an advance In cost OF
operation as goTernment. When we
get through punishing profiteers in
business we ought to turn our at
tention to profiteers In government.

DRAW UNION FIRE
Cummins Rail Bill Provision
Attacked Before Senate
Committee.

Organized labor launched it's fight
against the anti-strike provisions OF
the Cummins railroad reorganization
Dill today before the Senate interstate
commerce committee. Glenn E. Plumb
general counsel for the railroad
brotherhoods and author of the plan
for tripartite control of the railroads
said the provisions were a guarantee
OF industrial revolution"
These provisions destroy the rieh,
or collective bargaining" he said
They are directed solely against the
wage Garner. The right. to strike is
inherent and has been recognized by
innumerable decisions.
Strikes as Symptoms.
Strikes are symptoms of social dis
orders. not causes. You propose to
treat the symptoms and let the social
fever rage.
There is a change coming in the
nature Of strikes which this commit
tee does not recognize. Formerly
strikes have been carried on only
to secure labor. a larger share of the
products 1t makes. Hereafter they
will be carried on to compel a reduc
ests of labor on the consuming side.
Labor must retain the right to strike
to lower the cost of living
isn't it true that strikes ordinarily
stop production and so cause higher
prices?" asked Senator Townsend. re-
publican, Michigan.
Temporarily strikes diminish pro-
duction." Plumb said, but they can
force a decrease in prices which
will more. than make up for it."
There has never been a strike
with that object" Senator Townsend
returned. "and we have to legislate
in the light of experience"
There have been none with this
purpose as yet" Plumb said. but
there is no reason for Congress to
put up bar against the progress
of the future"
Answering a question by Senator
Pomerene. democrat. Ohio, Plumb
conceded that a two-week stoppage
of transportation would mean dis
aster and starvation for the people of
all the cities.
But the way to prevent that" he
declared. is not to let the. owners
Of capital keep. utilities Of public
service" ------nnaB
