THE SPECTATOR
Steinnletz
nR. CHARLES P. STEINMETZ, Of the
II General Electric Company, is commonly

known as the electrical wizard.
He Is no intellectual kin to Edward Bel
lamy, and is not a fictionist like H. G.
Wells, but a tough-minded scientist.
Consequently his predictions about the
future are exceedingly interesting.
He says that our present use Of coal IS
absurd, and that 1t is an economic crime to
burn coal for mere heating without, first
taking out of it its mechanical and electri-
cal energy The time is not far distant
mouth Of the mine, and instead of trans
porting the heavy coal we will simply
transport the energy in the shape Of cleo
tricity.
VERY probably our children's children
Y will see the last of railway locomotives
carrying their own coal. All that power
He reminds US that we have also hardly
begun yet to use our hydro-electric power.
Indeed, an entire transformation of our
material life is very close at hand.
"When everything is electrified" he says,
"and central stations are automatically
dust or smoke will be permitted by the
Government There will be no fires Of
any kind within the city limits. Hence
there will be no conflagrations and the air
will not be full of gases"

i no animals used for fraction, and hence
no street dirt.
The atmosphere will be clear, and you
can always see the sky. With pure air, the
yards in the city can be improved and
parks beautified.
There will also be radical changes in our
domestic life. The heating ami cooling Of
houses will be done by simple thermostats
controlled by electricity. The same appa-
ratus that heats the house on a cold day
will cool the air and keep humidity nor
NAL on a hot day.
VENTILATION at present accomplished
' by windows and electric fans. When
electricity is developed we shall have an
apparatus to bring fresh air into the house
and destroy the bad air and remove it.
In word, all of the power which we now
get by dirty and wasteful processes will be
manufactured at waterfalls, coal mines and
oil and gas wells, and the three great es-
sentials-heat. light and power for human
activities-will be attended to by the genfs
which Ben Franklin invited from the skies.

would be broken and it would be diff

the responsibility Of results in the

In other words, the well-estabished

PETITION PRESIDENT

We published in our news col
unlns OF yesterday the resolutions
presented by Dr.. Martin, pastor
of Trinity Methodist Episcopal
Church on last Sunday. These
resolutions seem to us both timely
and welcome. and were unani-
mously passed by the congrega-
ton. The sentiment and phrasing
are particularly felicitouS. The
Church has d proper interest i'll a
matter SO important to hundred;
Of our fellow-citizens, and it IS
right to give it public expression.
The pious wish expressed at the
conclusion OF the resolutions cam
not but appeal to the President, to
whom they are addressed, and
will meet with the full approval
Of those who believe that at all
times Divine Guidance should be
sought in matters that SO near

lows:
!. Being led to the firm conclusion
tnat the people of Virginia demand a
complete reorganization of our pres
ent highway Department, | there
fore suggest that this department, as
at present organized, cease to func-
ton as of July, next.
2. Whether justifable or not, the
tact remains that the people are not
satlsned with the present plan OF
handling our road development, and
the confidence in this department must
to be restablished before the people
will willingly support an active, pro-
gresslVe program which will demand
the early expenditure of many mil.
lions of dollars. | firmly believe that
II such reorganization is accomplished
as Will lead the people to the belief
that our laws are so perfected anc
guarded as to reasonably guarantee
to them an economical and cautious
expenditure of whatever funds they
may provide, that then there will be M
resltancy on their part to furnish
all funds necessary to complete quick
ly modern highway system through
out the Commonwealth. Until this j:
done, am fearful that it means d;
development of slow order with un
satisfactory results.
8. l need hardly state that roat
building has two CHIEF elements
one, the business side; and the other
the technical or engineering side, an
that both Of these elements, requir
ing such different types Of mentalit.
can rarely be found in one man, ever
were the combined duties rot so gen
erous as to be beyond thu point O
physical endurance.
I therefore, suggest that the Gov
ernor should appoint the State High
way Commissioner, who should be tn
executive head of the department,
man OF proven business qualifications
and be paid full-time salary com
mensuratc with the result he is ey
pected to produce Them the Governo
to whom the people of the State ar
looking primarily for results, will b
able to look to the commissioner an
demand them Of him, thus insuring in
dividual responsibilities essential t
execution and the sine qua non 0
satisfactory achievements.
The Governor should also be allow
ed to appoint four other members who
along with the commissioner, as chair
man, shall constitute what is to b
known as the Estate Highway Com
mission of Virginia" These men, re

movable at the pleasure of the Gov
ernor, should be selected from the five
grand geographical divisions Of the
State, this giving to all sections
reasonable representation.
The four members of the State
Highway Commission, other than the
chairman, should be allowed as pay
for their services a reasonable per
diem and expenses for such time as
they actually serve.
This commission should be allowed
to locate routes between designated
points in the highway system, routes
already located in pursuance of law
! to be changed only by act of the GEN
eral Assembly; to allocate funds to
| different road projects; to fix salaries,
subject to executive approval, of the
State highway engineer and other en-
ployes of the department; to approve
contracts and to make traffic rules
and regulations.
1. The State Highway Commissioner
should be allowed to appoint the high
way engineer, removable at his plea
sure; thus giving him a person on
whom there will rest individual re-
! sponsibiity for engineering and con-
st-uctive results.
The engineer, with the same power
CT employment and removal, should
be allowed to name those who are tt
work under him. This will create, from
the Governor down, a complete chair

Board of Governors That
Steel Securities Deals on

Tn. board Of governors Of the New
York Curb Exchange. at a special
meeting yesterday. took action which
was interpreted as meaning that trading
in the stock Of the North American
Steel Corporation would continue, de-
spite tho ultimatum Of Samuel Inter
myer, counsel 70 the lockwood housing
committee. that transactions should be
halted. Mr. Untermyer. in a letter
to A. b. sturges. secretary OF the
Curb, threatened to bring criminal
prosecutions against that exchange un-
less it suspended dealings.
The action Of the Curb authorities
was set forth in a letter from Mr.
Sturges to Mr.. Untermyer, which said;
This will acknowledge receipt Of
your favor Of the iith inst.

instructed By the board Of governors
Of this exchange, at special meeting
held to-day, TO notify you that all con
tracts in North American Steel Com
pany. when. as and II issued are 20
be settled in this exchange on the
basis OF the formal plan issued to the
stockholders dated juno 7, 1922
Mr. Untermyer declared that trading
in North American Steel on a when
issued" basis is in direct violation Of
existing statutcs He pointed out that
Mortimer L. SehiH. o. Kuhn. Loeb &
Co, in his testimony before the Lock
wood committee testified that no COM
pany has yet been organized. that not
even the amount OF authorized share
capital has been determined. that
there IS no agreement in existence for
the furnishing Of capital. and that his
firm IS under no legal or moral obliga-
tion in that respecr or in any other
direction connected with the hotation
OF the proposed company"
Members of the board OF governors
OF the Curb. while declining 70 author
ize the use cf their names, pointed out
that trading in when issued" securi-
ties was 4 customary procedure in the
financial district. and has been for
years. They explained that all cor.
tracts are subject to "a plan" and that
IL the plan is changed the contracts in
