MILLER ASKS HYLAN
TO ASSIST M'ANENY
Governor Tells Mayor if 200,-
600 Persons Walk Tt VIII
Be His Fault.
TURNS DOWN BUS PLEA
Says There Is No Need Of an
Extra Session Of the
Legislature.

The reply of Gov. Miller to Mayor
Hylan, refusing the request OF the Board
of Estimate that he call an extra session
OF the Legislature to nullify the injunc-
ton against illegal operation OF buses
was made public yesterday.
The Governors letter makes 1t clear
that the city may operate buses legally
through application to the Transit Com
mission and without either the Interrupt
ton of service or the unrestricted sur
render of streets TO franchise holders
such as was feared by Grover A. Whalen.
Commissioners of Plant and Structures,
in his statement of last Saturday.
The Governor informs the Mayor that
he Is not refusing in contentious spirit
and cordially urges the Mayor to get to-
gether with the Transit Commission. OF
which George McAneny Is chairman.
Gov. Miller's letter follows In part:
at Is not necessary to call an extra
session Of the Legislature. There Is now
a way, during all of the time of the
Illegal operation of bus lines there has
been a way, to provide for their legal
operation. The Board OF Estimate and
Apportionment, whose control over the
city's streets has not been interfered
with. whatever may have been said 70
the contrary, now has the power ana
has had the power all the time to initiate
lawful operation by precisely the same
people of precisely the same lines as
have been permitted unlawfully to oper-
ate. True. a certificate of public con-
yenience and necessity from the Transit
Commission is also required, but am
sure that you need not fear obstruction
from that quarter.

ELECTION DAY HIS BIRTHDAY.
CopeIsnd's Hope Recalls Incident
of Curran's Failure.

DR.. Royal s. Copeland. Democratic

election day. DR.. Copeland in AN az

With no intention of cas.in,s gloom
on DR.. Copeland's plans, it is recalled
that Henry II. Curran, Republican can
didate for Mayor of New Yor1 year
ago. in his campaign speeches frequently
mentioned the fact that his birthday
fell on election day and he expected to
celebrate that event simultaneously
with his election as Mayor. Mr.. Curran

another kind of special interests. He
called them The special interests of the
people. He took pride in the assertion
that every time any one of them came
to him II got what 1t wanted II Re-
publican legislature did not prevent 1t.
"If that is not being controlled ! do
not know what Is. Now / Will admit
that II you were to choose between two
sorts Of government, one controlled by
special corporate interests and the other
by the particular groups seeking either
some group advantage or to exploit some
fancy In the belief they were greatly
benefting their fellow men. i would say
your choice should be the second kind,
the kind Mr. Smith boasts he gave the
people.
THE first Is sinister. selfish. sordid,
corrupt. The second is usually dominated
by worthy purposes, whatever they may
do. but there Is still third kind of gov
ernment. that exercised solely In the
public interest, and that is the kind of
government claim to stand for.

poration lawyer as well as reactionary

business corporation, with almost eleven
million stockholders, and for two years
that corporation has been my sole client

Then the Governor got down to figures
and to his real theme-economy with a
capital e, and do you want 1t or don't
you? He showed that $54. 900, 900 was
taken out of the pockets of the people
in new taxes in the last year of Smith S
administration, and this In addition to
higher indirect taxes In the cost OF things
to eat and drink and to wear and the
cost OF shelter For that all figures in
extravagant government, whether II
shows on the surface of things or not
the Governor reminded the voters OF
Utica.
What about the ether kind of gov
ernment?" he asked I'VE took out OF
the taxpayers pockets last year $23,500,-
600 less than were taken out the year
before. He says we clipped into the sur
plus. We did take two million out OF
the surplus and it was not his surplus
either. The last time the books wer bal
anced under him the surplus was $751;
100000. The first time it was balanced
under this administration after we had
been In six months, 1t was $4,000. 900.
and one of the reasons 1t was SAB, 900, 900
was that we didn't spend $10,000,00O

Not Criticixing Groups.

The Governor said ne wasn't criticis-

had said he was glad to accede to. for
such groups have a purpose to perform
and are right in going to the Govern

these blocs. they will run away with
government and IL they are permitted
to get their arms into the State Treasury

plea that 1t Is for n worthy purpose"
Then the Governor took another poke

Mr.. Smith said he expected to remain
on the Port Authority Commission until
the people had passed Judgment In the
election. He will open his campaign In
Yonkers this evening. confer with his
campaign managers tomorrow. Thurs

and asserted that under Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Smiths transit agencies an effort
was made to raise street car fares in
New York. He explained the folly of
permitting all public utilities to be reg
ulated by the municipalities saying:

involve. A State commission to regu-
late those in more than one municipal

of requirements and rules as there were
municipalities in the State, some dealing
with one public utility in given NUM-
cipality and State body applying a
different rule for measuring by diff
ferent standard except as they might be
controlled by the courts to apply to a
small utility which happened to extend
beyond the limits Of municipality.
You can readily see what a hodge,

The lucky girl is Consuelo Flower

her youthful beauty and vivacity made
in New York that Miss Flowerton was
the model for all of Howard Chandler

1t was during one of Nazimova's S

Saving Beet Sugar Industry.

In commenting on the sugar stu
alton, the Salt Lake Tribune says:
"The plea made before the senate
finance committee that the sugar in
dustry in Cuba is largely controlled
by American capital should not be con-
sidered for single moment.
American interests have capital in
vested in nearly every part of the
world. but such investments are not
allowed to weigh in the balance when
our home industries are seriously con-
sidered.
Wages are much higher in the
United States than anywhere else, and
other costs of production are much
greater. This is ture of all the in
dustries.
"In the tropical countries native
labor costs but few cents a day, thus
reducing the cost of sugar production
to minimum.
1.-THE beet growers are compelled TO
pay high wages for labor and the su-
gar factories pay still more for help.
"Under such circumstances it is
obvious that unless the congress of
the United States comes to the rescue
with a tariff rate of at least 2 cents
per pound, both the beet growers and
the factory owner will be compelled
to engage in other business while the
foreign producers supply the United
States with sugar, which would mean
a monopoly and higher prices than
ever before"

X. X. Conference.

The Administration has arranged for
conferences between railroad officials
and workers in the hope of arriving
at mutual understanding on the ques-
tions upon which they are in disagree
ment. The country is on the threshold
of great industrial revival, but its
full benefits cannot be enjoyed unless
transportation facilities are prepared
to handle the increased traffic that is
sure to result Not only must ade-
quate equipment be at hand, but all
causes of friction between operators
and operatives must he smoothed out.
The Transportation Act directs that
labor disputes must first be taken up
between the railroads and their en-
ployees before they can be carried to
the Railroad Labor Board. Such ac-
tion has been taken in the past. but
the refusal of each side to every con-
troversy to give way to the contentious
of the other has made such attempts
at compromise merely perfunctory, and
has thrown every contest to the Labor
Board as a matter of course. 1t will
be the object of the present conference
to change all that, and secure agree
ments directly between the parties at
interest without the delay incident to
proceedings before the Labor Board.

Grade Crossings Will be Eliminated on
Highways Built With Federal Aad.

Washington, Jan 23.-The grade
crossing must go and they will be
eliminated wherever possible on the
roads of the federal aid highway sys-
tenn, which will be built as a result of
the passage of the Federal Highway
Act. When the roads which form the
primary or interstate system are con-
structed, no grade crossing will be al
ticable to avoid. Every effort will be
made to make the roads of the secon-
Diary system equally safe, but in this
case it is recognized that elimination
may not be practicable in all cases at
this time.
In making this announcement the
Bureau of Public Roads, under whose
supervision the fund is allotted and
construction is undertaken, is putting
into effect a policy which it has long
advocated in principle, and whose adj
option it has urged with increasing
effectiveness upon state highway of
ficials for same time past. The policy
is meeting with hearty cooperation on
the part of the states, and the Ameri-
can Association of State Highway Of
ficials by resolution has pledged its
best efforts to cooperate to eliminate
grade crossings on new construction.
The prime object of the departments
politely to eliminate grade crossings on
federal-aid roads is the saving of hu-
man live. This policy probably will
involve increased expense of construc-
tion in the case of some roads, but it
is believed this is justified by the saw
ing Of life. During the three years
ending with 1920, according to the best
records available to the department,
1886 lives were lost at grade cross
ings in the United States and 1854
persons were injured
