By FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT In a speech at the dinner of the
 Monroe Democratic County

Nobody wants to put a public utility company out of business or hurt a single investor. But the people of this State have reached the end of their rope as to how far they can let the companies go in the old-fash- toned process of watering stock.
 would like to know how far we can let these big mergers go when in some instances they take over a company worth $200,000 and then write it down on their books as costing ST. 100000, and issue stock for it, The consumer has to pay for it. Of course we are ready to pay the interest on legitimate invest ment but $80O,000 of that is pure water.
 Nobody is going to be hurt. repeat that this is a social and Ia governmental problem and ii is going to be solved regardless |of politics. There is going to be saved to the home-owners o1 this State millions of dollars ir every section of New York.

 WRANGELL

Rev. Harry P. Corser, pastor of St. Phillips Church, has recov- cred from the brief illness which sent him to the hospital on Oct ober IS. He occupied the pulpit again last Sunday and was pleas ed to announce that Bishop Rowe had rendered a check for $500 to the hospital fund.
 Mrs. Donald Sinclair entered the hospital Monday morning to receive treatment for an illness which physicians have diagnosed as toxic poisoning. Her condition became so acute last Sunday that Dr. E. H. Edwards wired Dr. R. N. Ellis of Ketchikan to come by plane for consultation. The patient is improving, according to advices from the hospital.
 Entry was made to the office lof the Wrangell Ice and Storage Company sometime last Sunday night, and approximately $25 taken from the till. The thief gained access to the office by breaking a pane of glass in the door to reach the inside lock.

 Winter brings to thousands ot Alaska's citizens and business communities an isolation wholly out of harmony with the modern rhythm of this great nation. But winter also makes AlaSka's in terior one vast airport, where planes equipped with skis may land on the snow at almost any point.
 Even in the summer, with more widely spread facilities of travel than winter affords in the North, there is too much de- lay in the transit of mail be- tween interior and coastal points
 The gap between Seattle and Alaska should be closed with swift delivery of air mail, to be followed by similar system to Gll points in the interior.
 Banishing of isolation would encourage travel and settlement in the North, it would facilitate business, and it would give great impetus to development.
 This would mean much to Se- attle, and Seattle should work with determination to bring it about. I

BISHOP DECLARES IDEALS OF
 MEN FADE AWAY AT 50

"The cares of the world pull men down and cause them to lose their ideals" said Rev. Dr. Francis J. Mcconnell, bishop Methodist Episcopal church, in a sermon in this city.
 We are forever making ad- justments and compromises, , said the clergyman. Without cynicism it can be said that to- day idealism seldom survives 50 years of age. Indeed, it has been observed that if a mans ideal ism does survive this age his aS- sociates think him cratic.
 Tt is impossible to say at just what time of life these ideals slip from the grasp,so imper ceptible is their receding. That 1 is all the more reason why we should be doubly on guard a. gainst these circumstantial fore les of life that cause us to fall short of our mark"

PLAN CURTA|LS
POWERS Of
D. c. COURT

Vigorous opposition to proposals
for changes in the fundamental
public utilities law Of the District,
as proposed by the Public Utili-
ties Commission, is expected to
be developed within the next few
days.
All Of the public utilities COM
panies of the District, the street
railways, bus company. telephone
company, electric light company.
and gas company, probably will
present a united front before the
Senate District Committee in
order to prevent the adoption Of
the changes as suggested by the
commission.
Separate Measure
The proposed changes in the
fundamental law were originally
embodied in the merger resolu-
ton, but upon the insistent de-
mand of the companies the
Senate District COMMITTEE e
divorced them from that proposed
legislation.
The measure embodying the
changes was introduced late yes
terday by Senator Arthur Capper.
chairman Of the Senate District
Committee. Capper conferred
with members of the Public Util-
tiles Commission prior to intro
ducing the bill.
The measure, as introduced by
Capper, follows closely the word
ing Of the sections Of the merger
resolution from which the bill
has been separated.
The utilities commission Is
seeking through the law changes
to alter the method by which the
companies may appeal to the
courts from rulings and orders OF
the commission. The commission
holds that under existing law the
courts are in effect a substitute
for the commission, being clothed
with Legislative" powers which
enable them to rule on questions
of fact.
The commission, through the
amendments to the law, seeks to
curtail this power Of the court,
allowing it to pass on questions
of fact in utility appeals only
when a constitutional question,
! such as confiscation, is involved.

SWANSON ASKS
100000 FOR

Construction of a boulevard ap-

in the Senate by Senator Claude
Swanson Of Virginia. The meas
ure has been referred to the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and

trade BOARD SCORED FOR AIRPORT STAND
SAYS
1TACT|CS CAUSE:
DELAYS

Tactics Of the Washington
6oard Of Trade in connection
With the establishment of a NUM-
clpal airport were roundly criUi-
Gtsed by Senator Hiram Bingham,
chairman Of the joint Congress
sional Airport Commission today.
Bingham charged that the
'rl0ard is trying to hamstring the
commission and that it is seek
ing to block the first construc-
i've step essayed by the Con-
gressional group.
Couldn't Get Quorum
The Connecticut Senator made
his attack on the board after
ne had made a futile effort to
hold a meeting Of the commits
sion for further study of the air.
port matter.
The commission, which held ex-
tensive- hearings some time ago,
was unable to muster a quorum
when called to meet today and
the absence of the members was
blamed on the Board Of Trade by
Bingham.
Members of the commission
are discouraged by reason of the
activities of the Board of Trade"
said the Senator. THE commits
sion has sought to give the Dis
trict a. model airport, but it
finds its first step blocked by the
efforts of this local organization"
Bingham explained that the
Board of Trade has circularized
members of the House and Senate
District and Appropriations COM
mttteeS, opposing the move of the
commission to obtain an appro-
priation of 100000 for the pur-
chase of airport sites or options
on sites.
The Board of Trade is insistent
upon the selection of Gravelly
Point as the site for the airport.
THE commission has reached no
decision in regard to a site and
has purpoSely left this matter in
Abeyance in order that the price
of sites under consideration would
not be raised. ..
Bingham was caustic in his
criticism of the board and in
dictated that he and other mem
berS of the commission are losing
interest in efforts to establish a
model airport here because of the
boards activities.
Nevertheless, the Senator will
endeavor to hold a meeting of the
Commission tomorrow to hear
bersons who are interested in the
present Washington airport, who
ARE understood to have a PROPOSE
tion which they wish to make to
the Government.
