ate Committee
SEES S0CIALISTlC DRIFT

Washington, May 10.---Revision OF
the federal tax laws to include prohibi-
ton Of the issuance Of tax exempt gov.
crnment securities 80 as to enable reg
ulated industries to dispose Of their
securities and raise badly needed none,
today was declared vital to the lives OF
public utilities by Philip II. Gadsden,
Of Philadelphia, In a statement before
the Senate finance committee. Qndsden
appeared as chairman Of the joint tax
committee representing the American
Electric Railway Association, American
Gas Association and National Electric
Light Association.
Mr.. Gadsden declared cmphatically that
public utilities do not seek to evude tax :
ation, but merely desire better condi-
tions under which to market their re =
curities that they may be able to pro-
vide badly needed extensions and bet
terments for their properties.
Since public utilities are regulated as
TO operation as a class and compelled to
give service at fixed prices regardless
Of economic conditions, II is only fnir,
he declared, that they be considered as
a separate class In taxation legislation:
he uFgeu tne appointment VI opNN'e'
subcommittee to make thorough study
of the public utility tax situation.
Persons upon whom public utilities
must depend very largely for new money
those subject TO surtsx OF over !
per cent--no longer will buy public
utility securities. because they find Ia,
exempt per cenA government securi'
ties better Investments, he said.
The only persons who, under tn
present tax laws, find It profitable Il
buy public utility securities are tho~
whose incomes are less than $4,000 |
year. Their combined savings are onl.
SIG .0O0, 900 or about 81 1884 .0O0, ,0O'
less than IL required By the public util
tiles, including steam railroads, electri
railways, gas, electric light and powe
plants, annually to make their better
ments and extensions.
THE most serious question whicl
confronts public utilities" he said, 81
their inability to secure the necessar
new capital required by them annual
I in competition with tnx-exempt mu
nicipal securities.
Unless this policy Of exempting mu
nicipal securities Is discontinued, "
are rapidly drifting into practical SO
cialism, which in its essence means own
ership Of everything by the public"

OCEAN CITY MAY ~ENDEAVOR
TO JOIN ATLANTIC COUNTY.
Idea Meets With Approval Of Many in
That Community.

From Atlantic County Record.
Tidings have recently come across
the bay that the people of Ocean City,
which in the last few years has en-
joyed a wonderful growth, may under
take in the near future to be set aside
from Cape May County and be Joined
TO Atlantic County. This idea is now
said to be seriously considered by
many leading citizens of this thriving
resort.
To do this it would be necessary to
have legislation enacted and probably
special elections held in both counties
and the adjustment of bond issues
and other Indebtedness would call for
extended negotiations. The natural
boundary between the two counties
established by the Great Egg Harbor
Bay has been, it is pointed out, prac-
tically eliminated by the bridge which
in many ways links Ocean City with
this county more closely than it is
connected with the rest of Cape May
County.
Ocean City residents and visitors,
since the bay bridge and the Somers
Point-Longport boulevard were built,
visit Atlantic City in large numbers.
The bay bridge will soon be taken
over by the state and tolls abolished,
which will greatly promote travel be-
tween the two resorts.
How the idea will be received by
the residents generally of either
county, is not known, as few of them
are aware of the project.
