4 the abolishing of the public utilities

LOT the Rock Island Chamber of

Ting resolution:
Whereas, the attention of the
board of directors of the Chamber
Hof Commerce has been called to the
#fact that an organization has been
formed in the state of Illinois and
Operating under the caption of the
Home Rule association, comprising
N the mayors and city officials OF
Hmany cities throughout the state of
Illinois, and having for its purpose
\ 1.-THE abolition and destruction of the
Ruaefulness of the public utilities
commission; and,
Whereas, it is our belief that
\ the public utilities commission OF
Illinois has operated in the inter
lest of the entire state and has, in a
large measure, taken our public
Whereas, our observation leads
US to believe that the question of
rate making and handling of public
utilities can better be handled by
body of men with a continuity of
Experience and practice, and who
are familiar with the needs Of both
public utilities and the cOmmuni-
tiles at large; and
Whereas, we believe that the
abolition Of the public utilities com
mission or the cancellation of the
Enactment under which it is now
operating would be step backward
and not in the interest of progress
and the public at large,

Therefore, be it resolved, That
we, the board of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce, urge that
the state senator and the members
Of the house Of representatives rep
resenting this district in the gen

of any of the powers, discretiOns or
authority now vested in the public
utilities commission OF the state of
Illinois; and
BE it further resolved, that the
secretary Of this body forward a
copy of this resolution duly signed

D~iptheria, which has been epidemic
in this city for a month or more from
reports given out by Health Officer
Thompson today, shows a marked de-
crease. During the Month of October
a total of fifteen cases were report

cases have been reported. 1t would
seem from this report that it is on
the wane here.
Two cases of influenza have been re-
ported to date and both of these are
not considered serious. 1t is likely
that there are other cases of this dis
ease here which the doctors have not
reported as yet.

Discuss Legislature Makeup
at Governors Day.

IND EArEnAT Nn

TRENTON, Nov. 1.-The first
Governors Day" after election ex-
acted a fair sized gathering of Repub-
1ican legislators to the State House to-
day to discuss states of prospective
Offices. The gathering while represen-
tative was not as large as usual be-
cause of the celebrations of Armistice
Day throughout the state. A number
of states were proposed for the House
in the corridor gossip but there was
no certainty about any of them. The
Republican senators will have a con-
ference later in the day and probably
will elect their offices.
Indications point to the election Of
Senator Clarence e. Case, of Somerset
County, as President of the Upper
House and Senator Collins B. Allen,
of Salem, as Republican majority
leader, Senator William d. Mackay, of
Bergen, has been mentioned for lead
ership but 1t is understood that as this
will be the first year of his new term
he would prefer to wait until next year
for the leadership and then in his final
year step to the Presidency.

for the same position In the new Sem
ate. Governor Runyon, who is presi-
dent of the Senate now. will resume

Scarcity Of Stove and
Chestnut Coal in City

Although the strike of the coal
miners did not affect the miners en-
ployed in the hard coal mines, ana
these mines have been working as Us
ual, there seems to be a great change
in the supply of various sizes OF nara
coal. The dealers of this city reto.t
that it is almost impossible of obtain
chestnut or stove coal and these sizes
are much in demand nj some OF the
stoves and furnaces Will not success
fully burn the other sizes of coalNThe
shortage is greatly felt here. y
One dealer said hat the shortage
in stove and chestnut coal can De
likened to the shortage: Illese
sizes of coal can not be obtained I'M
less the dealer will take so many cars
of other sizes, some of which he can
not sell to his usual Gust mer5. iIe
dealer reported hat in order 10 op-
tain one car of chestnut coal he had
to order three cars of another SIZE
and although the three cars OF the
larger sizes had arrived. the one cdi
of chestnut had not been heard from
This same dealer reported that al
though it was now November II, ne
had not been able to get a car OF coai
from the mines this month ana olu
not know when any would arrive.
He said that he had been forced 70
turn away orders for from 400 10 ooo
tons of chestnut coal uulhiS SN f
week. 80
Another dealer who is unable 10
supply his trade here, advocated thaI
people should write their congressman
requesting that the government set a
price on hard Goa the same as IL hao
on the soft coal, as he could not see
why the concerns who use SOFT coai
were not better able to pay increased
prices than the people of any city are
able who have to purchase nara coal
in order to keep warm.
At the present time, this dealer point

TRANSFORMATION and the charges To-

benefits of the same equality"
President Smith traced back the
history of transportation to the early
history of the world, showing how 1t
has developed with the growth OF
nations.
"Of our great industrial problems
today" continued the speaker, Il be-
lieve the key is to be found through
better transportation. With the prop
err adjustment of our n of COM
munication between people n com
munities, our economic problems VIII
go far toward solving themselves.
II do not mean to intimate the con-
dition l picture will immediately fol-
low upon the readjustment of the
transportation problems, but it will
come to pass inevitably in the prop
err sequence of events, making due al
lowance for Father Time and for the
workings of other great social forces.
with the completion of the canal
across New Jersey, thousands of miles
of territory with millions of people
bordering on the same will be brought
closer together through the medium

THE products of the great produc-
ing South n the Middle West can
be interchanged with the m~anufactur-
ed articles of the East n New Eng
land, and all of this will mean a bet
ter redistribution of population as well
as lower the cost OF doing business.
Surely this is a worthy accomplish
ment
1--WE feel in striving to bring about
the construction of this canal that we
are engaged in the service of man
kind. We are proud of our job
The speaker also paid a tribute to
the pioneers il the Ship Canal move
ment in New Jersey, mentioning
Mayor f. w. Donnelly, of Trenton, N
j., particularly.
New Jersey is very keen on having
thesShip Canal built" he told the con-
vention further. "Our citizens feel
that when his canal becomes a fact,
New Jersey will become known as the
Keel State of the Union and the rea-
son for this is self-evident. New Jer-
sey will then be the centre line of sup
port on which the transportation ia
cilities of the North and the South will
be built.
ION the north will be the Hudson
River, the New York State Barge
Canal, Long Island Sound and Cape
Cod Canal, tying New Jersey with the
Great Lakes and the valley of the st.
Lawrence, as we'll as the whole New
England coast. On the South the Del.
aware river, the Chesapeake, and

teries of commerce will tie it to the
growth between(the Delaware and
