FIRST SHOT FROM THE
new REGULARS
THERE is DANGER AHEAD

You are telephone subscriber,
ana your rates were raised by the
public service commission.
because or the membership of the
Honorable Francis Williams on the
public service commission, these rates
have been ordered reduced.
The telephone is no longer a luxury
for the rich.-it is a convenient neces-
sity in the home of the poor as we'll
as the rich
Mr.. Behrman whose administration
permitted the present street car and
gas rates to be imposed upon the cit
liens of New Orleans, and who also
was regarded as controlling the COM
mission which raised your telephone
rates, will ask you through some one
OF his lieutenants in the very near
future, If he has not already done
so, to vote for Mr.. ]. F. Bowen for
Public Service Commissioner. Don't
make the mistake of doing so, for
therein lies the danger of which we
now warn you
If, by any chance, Mr. Bowen should
be elected, there can be no doubt that
Mr.. Behrman will again come into
control OF the Louisiana Public Serv-
ice Commission, and taking his past
performance as your criterion, you
should for your own protection
against a possible further increase of
rates. vote against Mr.. Bowen, who
IN announcing his candidacy, after
receiving the Behrman endorsement
which it is said was first denied him,
is quoted as promising nothing of a
definite nature. His announcement
does not commit him to anything.
Mr.. Francis Williams the other
Candidate for the office of Public
Service Commissioner was elected
only to the unexpired term of that
office few months ago and has made
good. He should be kept in office
and encouraged.
One of Mr.. Williams first acts was
to order the Cumberland Telephone
Company to show cause why the old
rates in effect before the raise should
not be restored. The case went on
appeal to the United States Circuit
Court and was tried before three
| judges; by vote of two to one the
court ordered the old rates restored:
/ The telephone company Immediately
appealed to prevent the enforcement
of the order. Under the above de-.
cision private telephone user would
receive about $500 in refunds, and
business phones about $4,000 in re.
funds per phone, these figures are
approximately only and would amount
in the aggregate TO over $500, 00O. 90
which is more than enough to cover
the soldiers bonus in New Orleans.
In addition, Mr.. Williams caused
an order to be issued to all railroads
entering New Orleans to show cause
why union passenger station should
not be built. Did you ever hear Of
such an order during the many years
in which Mr. Behrman's Commission
functioned? The echo answers NO!
You never will, in the future IL You
vote Mr.. Behrman's corporation com.
mission into control again; so, heed
our warning to you and vote for your
friend, and the friend of the whole
people, Mr.. Francis Williams, for
public service commissioner.

MALONEY EXPLAINS STAND IN
LETTER TO ASSOCIATION
IN ALGIERS.
Commissioner Maloney in a letter
yesterday to the Algiers Association
for Better Ferry Service declared that
he and all other members of the
commission council are opposed to
municipal ownership of the ferries
and that contracts will be let within
sixty days to the lowest bidding
firms of franchises offered by the
city. Commissioner Maloney recent
ly introduced an ordinance providing
for letting ferry contracts to the
most successful bidder.
Commissioner Maioney's letter to
the Algiers association followed com.
munication and protest from that
body which desired that the city take
control of the ferries. Commissioner
Maloney said he did not believe the
city could operate an efficient sys-

The commissioner informed the as

recently drawn was offered in the
council only after he had gone over
it with many leading citizens of Al
giers. He said there will be no change
in the franchise. as proposed in the
ordinance unless some worthy sugges-
tions are made.
The Algiers associations letter to
the commission council was received
early this month and referred to
Commissioner Maloney. The associa-
ton. which for years has been asking
ownership of the ferry sys-
tens, renewed its requests and they
were turned down by the council.
Commissioner Maloney in a state
ment yesterday says he cannot under
stand why the association has objec.

has given no reason why 1t should

neither had it offered any suggestion
for changes in the franchise ordin-
ance, despite the fact that Ii has been
published for fourteen days.

the elimination Of sidewalk obstruc.

to get the city cleaned up for the
Sesqui- Centennial. On the sidewalks
there are too many Obstructions-fire-
boxes, water hydrants, electric light
poles. mail boxes, telegraph poles--all
these take up TOO much room.
I'VE wrote to various committees In
New York to find out how they had
handled the situation. for the side.
walks there have few distractions. We
have taken up some phases of the mat :
ter with Chief Dunlap and he has been
willing to help us, but 80 many person. .
nlitics enter into 1t. For instance--a
blind man will be conducting n paper
stand on the sidewalk and people will
say it is not right to put blind man
off the sidewalk. At the same time Il
can not be denied that the paper stand
is an obstruction. At the corner Of
Twelfth and Walnut streets there are
strewn along the sidewalk papers and
magazines for sale. That IL und0ubt.
edly an obstruction.

mail boxes with the Government au
thorities and they are going to help us
by putting mail boxes against the side
