control of purely local utilities back

The joint session was ordered by
resolution of both senate and house.
At 1 o'clock, led by two senate pages
carrying the ballot boxes, the senate,
following the vice president and es-

tary and other officials, proceeded TO
the house chamber, where they
were announced with ceremony, the

Speaker Gillett seated at his left and

Cast by Electors Jan. 10.
The votes canvassed were cast last
Jan. 10 by the electors meeting in their
respective states and have since been
arriving almost daily at the vice presi-
dents office. Duplicate returns also
have been sent by mail and the law
requires that a third set be filed with
the federal district court of each
state.
Among the personal messengers who
brought the ballots to Washington
were women serving as such for the
first time in the nations history.
A custom of procedure followed as
usual in the joint congressional session
was an opportunity for objections to
the recording of the votes. After each
states vote was announced, the vice
president asked if there were any OBJ
jectiOns. These. by law, are required
to be in writing and, in event of
fling to be voted on by the senate and
house separately.

N AY u s f
STUTz MACHINES

Now comes the winged fire depart
ment John Cullerton, manager of
properties of the fire department, is
said to have pointed out the need to-
day of an aerial chemical engine. He
said he would recommend the addi
tion of such equipment to the council
finance committee.
1t was the destruction of an aero
plane by fire in a hanger at Peterson
road and North Sacramento avenue by
fire last Saturday that convinced Gull
lerton of the necessity of sending ex-
tinguishing chemicals long distances
at the greatest possible speed The
machine which was destroyed be-
longed to Nimo Black, a professional
aviator. Black had just placed the
aeroplane in a hangar after a flight
when crossed wires in the engine
started a blaze.
Cullerton salad the machine could
have been saved if another flying ma
chine equipped with chemical devices
had been obtainable.

BAD PHONE SERVICE

Oak Park has $4,000 inhabitants. 1t
is in the Chicago telephone district,
connected by l.. roads, surface roads
and good streets with Chicago which
it adjoins. Yet the phone company
soaks its inhabitants with exorbitant
tolls. The surface lines charge Is
cents carfare TO reach it, and the
phone company refuses to place the
name of Oak Parkers in it's Chicago
telephone directory. Oak Park might
just as well be in Germany or Poland
so far as any recognition from the
phone trust is concerned. 1t has no
one to take it's part and is the visi-
BILE prey of hungry corporations with
out hope of help. 1t might be added
incidentally that the Phone Trust de-
livers it's bills by personal message
in Oak Park. In Chicago and else
where it mails it's monthly bills. This
shows the wisdom of the Phone Trust.
1t takes three days for a letter or
newspaper to reach Oak Park by mail
from Chicago.

Nothing has developed to convince

porarily halt their construction, it as

the report reads, with oceans separat-
ing ii from other great powers, its
first line of defense must necessarily
be IFS navy, and so long as it has

against attack, it's rights are secure.
In view of this Importance of sea
power and the fact that without it we
would be at the mercy of the other
nations, it is the opinion of the COM
mittee that this country should main
tain a navy at least equal to that of
any other power.
THE lessons of history teach US we
cannot afford to depend for main
tenance of our rights, and the lives
and commerce of our citizens upon
the mercy or good will of other pow

ests or ambitions"

Senator Poindexter closes the con-
troversy over the allegation that the

Discussing the relative merits Of
the capital ship and the undersea boat
and aircraft, the report reads:
"The value and Importance of sub
marines, aircraft and high explosives

deciding to leave this question open

ranged.
France Not to Be Consulted.
