LITTLE ROCK LETTER
fBy Clio Harper)

Little Rock. Jan. Which had
YOU rather be than public utility
corporation in cold weather.
That is the puzzle that has sue
ceeded to the classic, How old is
Ann?
If there is any job that is less de
sirable at the present time in Little
Rock, than that of the general man
ager of a public utilities corpora
ton. II is not known. For the G. NJ.
is a very unpopular citizen just now,
as G. NJ. however popular he may
be as a man, and all of them are
fine fellows personally.
But there has been no gas for more
than a week
The telephone service is bad.
The electric lights go out frequent
ly and compel the people to resort
to the use of candles.
Street cars stop dead in the middle
OF the street for ten minutes to half
an hour, and people have to get out
and walk.
Water pipes freeze up and the bills
are bigger than ever before

. Acts Of providence are not accept
able as an excuse for any failure in
service. as all of them should be
provided against. and there is no
such thing as an emergency.
And the general managers ana at
torneys of one corporation assume the
same perogative as that exercised
by ordinary folks in criticislng the
other fellows service.
A G. NJ. was in an elevator the
other day when it went dead ana
he proceeded to lay out the COMPANY
that furnished the current.
The simplest way out OF 1t Is, OF
course. Just to revoke the franchise
cut off our nose to spite our face.
Revoking franchises would give US
plenty of gas, and street cars, and
perfect telephone service, and pure
water, and make wages high and
prices low-just like that.
II is also a simple thing to bring
gas from the Fort Smith field-it Is
immaterial that Fort Smith is having
her troubles with the gas also. All
that is necessary is for some patriot
ic newspaper man to come along
with two million dollars in his pock

Fort Smith field, and he can get a
franchise from the city all rignt
