VAN ORDINANCE
TOSTOP EXTORTION
IS BEING DRAF TED
Law to Protect Public Urged
by Evening World Drawn -
by Corporation Counsel.

A new moving van ordinance which
viii prohibit profiteering by movers
Of household furniture and at the
same time provide for a fair profit
for the van owners and decent wages
for their employees is being drafted
for The Evening World by Corpora
ton Counsel O'Brien with the assist
ance Of Commissioner Of Accounts
Hirshfield. These officials are acting
under the direction of Mayor Hylan,
who has sent a special message to
the Board of Aldermen, in which he
requests that body to consider anti
moving van profiteering legislation at
next Wednesdays special meeting.
The present moving van ordinance
Is a Joke. Its rates are far too low to
meet present day conditions. But it
contains special CONTRACT" clause,
the "joker" in the measure, which per-
mits the van owners to charge any
fee they see fit.
The van owners, who are very
strongly organized and who WELD
very powerful political influence in
several Aldermauic districts, are OPP
posed to any legislation. They are
perfectly satisfied with the "specia
contract" clause, which permits them
to profiteer to their hearts content
To-day the Public ThoroughfarOs
Committee Of the Board OF Aldermen
will take up again the question OF
regulating moving profiteers. How
ever, it is not likely that anythng
will be done until The Evening
Worlds ordinance is ready.
"As soon as The Evening World
has its ordinance ready l an willing
to do all within my power to secui G
| its passage" said Chairman NJ chae
Stapleton OF the Public Weliar+
| Committee. Majority Leader Collin;
| OF the Board OF Aldermen repeatedly
has given similar assurance, as has
| Republican leader Ferrand.

Few towns in the west have enjoy

we have the greatest respect for him,
yet TO be frank, We don't believe the
Examiners growth has been in keep
ing with the rapid strides being made
by the town itself.
We have not had the pleasure OF
meeting the new editor, but from the
advance press notices. Mr.. Nelson
must be first class newspaper man.
Montpelier merits a good live news
paper and the appearance OF the Ex-
aminer within the next few months
will determine whether or not Mr..

GOVERNMENT SAVES
DEMOCRATIC FUNDS
Flood of Franked Mail
Going Out to the
Voters

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.--stacks
OF bullying mail sacks piled in the
marble corridors Of the house OF rcp-
r~esentatives Office building today told
the story OF n flood OF democratic
campaign propaganda that is going TO
tho voters In every part of the coun-
try. II In going at n minimum OF cost
10 the democratic war chest but Mt
some expense to the taxpayers and to
the detriment OF the white paper
supply.
On the first floor OF the office
building IRE the headquarters of Rep
re~scntative Henry ID. Flood (Na).
chairman of tho democratic con-
gressional committee. who Is direct
ing the attempt to elect n democratic
house. The offices are large and
commodiout and are rent free to the
democrats, despite the fact hat they
are being used for n purely political
purpose now.
The stacks Of bulglng mail sacks
stretch on either side OF the demo-
cratic suite today. At n time eight
large piles OF sacks were counted. In
three OF the piles there were more
than fifty sacks by actual coun
other piles were somewhat smaller.
but the eight piles easily totalled
more than 200 sacks.
Near the top OF each OF three sacks
was n slip showing that II contained
democratic speeches printed at the
government printing Office. As part
OF the Congressional Record the
speeches, while avowedly campaign
propaganda. can be circulated to the
voters free OF postage.
Thus the democratic campaign
managers by using careful economy,
can distribute many speeches at small
cost. They can get them printed Mt
government printing office at cost,
They can have them folded and de-
livered to their offices for which they
pay no rcnt. They can store them
IN the corridors for visitors and house
employees to walk around or trip ovcr,
Practically the only operation the
democrats IA to pay for Is the
addressing Of envelopes and s%tuffinp
the speeches back into the mail sacks
from whence they came.
Just what part the speeches are
going to play In the campaign is not
clear. Most OF them were delivered
weeks ago. II il not within reason
to suppose, therefore. that n con.
siderable number OF voters will sit
down by the fireside TO read the
speeches In order to be convinced thai
voting for a democrat is the thing &C
do.
Officials at the capitol say there
IN no why that the use OF public
buildings for purely partisan pur'
poses can be stopped even though an,
of them had n mind to do so. II wa
pointed out, however, that republi
cans, who could have taken advan'
tage OF their privileges. have hiret
