| llILlTI DIVIDENDS

The railroads, with networks of rails extending throughout the en- tire country, form an immensely i'm portant industry. But other indus- tries top them since the days when they were built, a time when no corporations were as big as the railroads collectively.
 Again, according to statistics, No vembor dividends from the electric light and gas companies have been more than double the dividends pad hy the railroads. II anyone can any longer be in doubt regarding the importance of the electric utilities in this country, this is sufficient evil dencc. From plain dollars and cents viewpoint they amount 10 more than the railroads to the in vesung public.
 Which is just so much more req son why public authorities need 10 keep q more Watchful eye upon the power industry. To date there is lacking the same federal regulation Of this industry regarding interstate activities as exists in connection wth the railroads; and the power indus try heartily disIkes the prospect Of government regulation being fostered by various members Of Congress.
 There is only one way for this in- dustry 10 avoid the kind of regula- ton it doesn't want and that is to play fair with the public.
 Thus one more clearly understands the nature ot the fight under way regarding ravivt.ying the Federal Power Commission, which was originally created in 1920 but has been very limited in its powers. The Senate is inclined to look upon new appointments to this commission with careful scrutiny, which has al- ready caused Lieutenant General Edgar Jadwin, former chief Of en- gineers Of the army who had been considered by President Hoover as chairman o4 tho now commission. tC announce he would decline appoint ment in order to accept private offer. General JaIwn had been mentioned in anu-admjnistrarion quarters as possessing a bias in favor Of public utility interests.
 Ii IS possible that the Power Com mission will eventually vield control over interstate transmission o. DOW CT. A, present, it controls rates, service. etc. only in interstate power transmitted from government power sites for which tho Commission has issued licenses. Senator Couzens is pressing a biu which would give federal commission control over in- ,arstal. power which Is not beirg co1.ro.Iad by the several states con- garn.d.

CROSS AND THT OFFICES

CROSS AND THE OFFICES
 Rumors are rife as 10 how Gov ernor Cross-when h. lakes the relns Of of7ce-wllI cross out office holders he doesn't like and put de- serving Democrats in their places. Poltical-minded guessing school graduates have much to occupy theIr me between now and then. A. though the Governor must proceed in cooperation with the Legislature with respect 10 various offices. he has some leeway in others. Politics being largely a game 10 get office much thought or what passes for thought, is expended upon what's goIng to be what and who's going :o be who when the new governor takes charge.
 From Dean Cross himself comes no word that he will do anything startling; just a word that he will seek to select the best men" for the jobs. That in itself is not an original thought. by the way, even President Harding, when he took office prior 10 the oil scandal era. having tod the country his administration would be one Of the best minds
 Every governor and every presi- dent seeks 10 emphasize the fact that the advisers around him and the men to be placed into the minor offices will be the best" talent ob- tainable. It often turns out, how ever-but why bring that up.
 The state elected Dean Cross be- cause a majority Of it's people had confidence in the way he would con- duct the state if elected. They still have this confidence. Whatever hap pens in the realm Of office holding it is not likely that bad blundcrs will be made by the head of the states government. The politicians may wear wry faces and some of them may be griepously disappolnl- ed, but until the demonstration is otherwise the citizens ot Nutmegja have no reason to think that po- lilical nincompoop, even though he be otherwise "deserying," will be able to get his feet into the public trough.
 Certain political writers say the Legislature is expecting a fight over appointments. We doubt. how ever, whether many Of the legislators have been interviewed as to their warlike propcnsjtles so far. They are pretty well scattered throughout the state and are attending 10 their own business for the most part. Such political scraps as may be around the corner may be engineered by the so-called leaders just for political devllment; but pr, Cross. if he fol- lows the example Of Al smith when he was governor Of New York. can take the public into his confidence reaching the public through the press-and cause the legislative bosses to be painted in what might be termed true coIors. Of course, d Democratic governor who at the same time IS bashfUl. shy and in- clined to utter no complaints, would when faced with a Republican legis- lature have no more chance of sur viving than snowfall in redhot furnace; bur there is small evidence nat pr. Gross IS a weeping willow. our impression is, after noting how he split the rafters during the late political campaign, that he will adopt methods somewhat conform ing to the model of Al Smith when he fought the Albany boys, which means the public will be given plenty Of opportunity to judge the legislature upon a basis Of facts provided by the governor,
