"Thc farm women who have awak

quite frankly that they want to start

possible, 4 little idcalized. They would
appreciate 1t for a change"
For the first time the movement is
general all over the United States for
farm women to join tho farm clubs Of
various sorts, Mrs. Brown reports.
by working in clubs in various com
munites the farm women have learned
the value of organized effort in i'm

ing problem can only be had through
the extension Of the credit Of the state,
counties, cities, towns and villages to
home builders.
Another bill by Senator Straus pro-
yides that records of efficiency and
rating Of civil service employees shall
be posted publicly on a bulletin board
accessible to all employees. The in
tent is to prevent manipulation OF
ratings and their misuse In the inter-
ests Of favoritism.
Senator Seymour Lowman, Rcpub-
lican, of Elmira, introduced bill
carrying out some Of the rccommenda-
lions of his committee which invest,-
gated the causes and effects of auto
mobile accidents. The measure pro-
vidcs for statewide examination OF
operators of automobiles, a practice
confined to New York City. Two kinds
of licenses are provided for--one for
the city and another for the rest Of the
state. The bill calls upon the tax com
mission to keep 1ccord of changes OF
residences of holders of licenses
which may be refused, either to q
chauffeur or operator, II the commits
sion is so inclined.
Penalties for Reckless Driving
A measure defining penalties to be
imposcd upon motorists convicted OF
reckless diving resulting In injury
was introduced by Senator Holland p
Duell, Republican, Of Wcstchcster
Charges Of third-degrce assault are to
be preferred in cases of injury which
does not result in death. Where death
occurs, the charge shall be manslaugh'
ter, second degree. The former offcnse
is punishable with prison terms OF
from one to twelve months; the latter
with terms Of from one month to five
years.
A measure sponsored by Assembly
man W. Booth, Republican, of Oneida
would compel every adult who changes
his address to file notice with the City
Clerk Of the municipality in which he
lives, or the village or town clerk if he
lives in smaller community. The
measure, it is understood, is sought by
business houses who do business on the
installment plon. The bill further pro-
vides that moving van men are to keep
records Of the names and addresses of
persons whose properties they move,
Duplicates Of these records are to be
submitted to the authorities.
A new plan for solving the state
bonus problem was put forth to-day III
a measure introduced by Assemblyman
Louis A. CuvilHer, who would have the
Governor issue an order which would
permit World War veterans to enroll
in the state reserve militia. They
would receive q compensation equal to
that to which they would have been en-
titled under the Smith soldier bonus

Testifies as to Its Finances
Before p. S. c., Estimating
5 Million Revenue Cain

The Public Service Commission con-
tinued It's investigation Of the affairs
of the New York Telephone Company
yesterday. The company was repre-
sented by an array of counsel headed
by Franklin Briggs, while M. M. Fer
tig, Assistant Corporation Counsel
represented the city. H. F. Fuller
known as the rate engineer" of the
company, testified in detail as to the
finances and operating expenses of the
company.
He gave the estimated number of
telephone stations throughout the state
in 1922 as 1,489,4o3, with 1,o27,e52 fo1
New York City and 461,751 for the re-
mainder of the state Estimating the
increase Of revenue for 1922 over 1921
Mr.. Fuller gave this as a total increase
OF approximately s5,197,OoO. He said
the toll revenue Of the company
throughout the state in 1921 was sl5,-
296.370, and estimated the toll rev
enue for 1922 at s16,907, 900.
The witness said the company ex-
pected growth of $4,000 telephones
in Its system throughout the state dur
ing the current year, most of which
will be Installed in this city.
Giving as one Of the reasons for the
estimated increase in the cost of oper-
NuA'"6 Vic yC"l 400, WI ulIcT
called attention to the fact that the
company expects to put out third
telephone directory, to be issued in
February, in place of the two semi
annual directories in the past. The
witness said that the company did not
expect to make any wage reductions in
1922
E. B. McGuinnes, an expert account
ant OF the company, testified AS to the

r. E. Walker, general supervisor of
traffic Of the telephone company. said
they had plenty of applicants for posi-.
tions as operators at present, but that
they frequently had difficulty in get
ting girls to work in the particula,
places where the company needed then
most.
H. A. Trax, auditor Of the company
testified that there was no stock of tn
New York Telephone Company in tn
hands of the public now. it is al
owned by the American Telephone an,
Telegraph Company, he said. The hear
ing was adjourned until to-day a

MacNider Criticizes Mellon
for ''Watchdog of Treas
ury" Attitude Toward Bo-
nus for Ex-Service Men
Commander Insists Fund
for Soldiers Would Be
of Great Benefit in Re-
lieving Trade Conditions

Hanford MacNider, national COM
mander, declared yesterday that Secre-
tary Melons attitude on the bonus
question is that Of the watchdog Of
tho Treasury" Tho comment was
made when tho commander was asked
for his opinion on the letter which the
Secretary of the Treasury sent on
Tuesday to Chairman Fordney Of tho
House Ways and Means Committee.
Secretary Mellon, according to Com
mander MacNider, in taking the posi-
tion he has on the question Of cost to
the government has adopted pessimis-
tic view of the situation. Commander
MacNider pointed out that figures and
estimates cited in the Treasury Depart
ment letter did not agree with reports
submitted by Senator McCumber at the
last session, which were prepared by an
actuary of the Treasury Department.
Commander MacNider maintained
that the bonus, instead Of weakening
industrial conditions by placing a
burden on the Treasury, would do more
to strengthen the economic fabric Of
tho nation than any other thing can
do mt this time.
Tnere need be no fear, the COM
mander insisted, that the money re-
ceived by the former service men, who
will be paid small monthly sums under
the cash feature Of the plan, will be
spent on Injuries. It will be spent on
the necessares OF life and thus will
go right back into circulation, said
Commander MacNider.
I'VE know the American people want
IT, he continued. "1n every state where
the people have been given an oppor-
tunity of voting on the question there
has been an unmistakabe answer
favoring it.
Nor Is there any reason to believe
that all ex-service men will elect the
cash bonus alternative. Many will de-
sire the paid up insurance proposition,
that being the position taken by 50 per
cent OF the members of my own post
OF course, for the thousands Of ex-
service men without work at the pres
ent time, and without food and homes In
some instances, the cash bonus alter
native will be the one desired.
The Legion doesn't care how the
money is raised-that's the business of
Congressman we don't attempt to die
tate to Congress the method by which
the necessary funds will be raised We
DeIic'e tne ADJUSTED compensation plan
is the only fair thing.
And when there are thousands OF
ex-service men walking the streets we
don't believe they ought to be dictated
to as to what form of compensation
they ought to take"
Colonel MacNider decried the num-
Der Of political" appointments that
have been made In the Veterans Bu-
reau and said only 64 per cent of the
male employees of the bureau are ex.
service men. He then told Of the work
being done by the Legion for the dis
abled veteran, which he said was near
est the heart Of the Legion at the pres
ent time"
Commander MacNider was the guest
last night at 304th Field Artillery Post
at it's annual dinner, held in Yates's
Restaurant, LAT West Forty-third
Street.
