times but at other periods talks
on subjects ranging from comic
strips to divine revelation. He is
growing weaker rapidly.

"ipiuef son, representing
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New
York, said the only way to reduce
electric rates is by threatening pub
lie ownership. Three prominent pri-
vate utility men promptly took
a walk" and John c. Dalton, man.
ager of the County of London Elec-
trio Supply, criticized Davidson's
talk as a "tirade."
The discussion started in connec-
ton with a paper by John E. Zim-
norman, president of the United
Gas Improvement company, who
held that power "yardsticks" such
as the IVA and Boulder Dam can
not be compared with private utili-
ties unless operating conditions are
similar. Such yardsticks, ne said,
will lead to competitive methods
already proved "wasteful and I'M
satisfactory"
In papers taking the opposite
view, Prof. William E. Mosher of
Syracuse university, and James G.
Bonright of the New York State
Power Authority, held that public
competition with private companies
is "indisputable evidence" of de-
Ginning faith in regulation.
A CCORDING to the New York
Times, whose dispatches from
Washington are usually most reli-
able, President Roosevelt is consid-
ering for submission to congress, in
event of his reelection, a far-reach-
ing plan of governmental reorgani-
zation. The plan possibly would in
volve, the Times stated, the con-
solldation or abolition of some of
the major departments and bu-
reauS.
Whatever the President finally
proposes" the Times said, lone
may hear in informed quarters now
that the regular cabinet posts might
be decreased
A possibility, the Times stated,
would be consolidation of the army,
navy and air corps in a department
of national defense.
THE administration proposes to
follow a definite policy of curtailing
or dismantling emergency units that
have outrun their usefulness" the
paper continued.
r RANGES government has de-
cided that conditions in Europe
are so threatening that it must spend
a huge sum for national defense.
So 1t adopted a program for in
creasing the efficiency of the army
which will cost $3.50, ZOO, 900 in the
next four years. The proposal was
made by Edouard Daladier, min
lister of defense. The first INSTALL
ment of $3.50, 900, 900 will be dis
bursed in 1897.
The program calls for an in
tensive increase of mechanical
units and also for rearmament.
Furthermore, it provides an in.
crease in the size of the professional
army ana the creatio, of a special
lied group of long service noncom-
missioned officers such as already
exist in the French navy.
The program also provides for
