Assuming the Tampa utility
bills become laws, it is logical to
forecast what other legislators
will attempt to do for municipal
tiles within their own districts.
Unless al! signs fail, public util-
ity rate regulation will become a
legislative fad and such a devel-
opment, doubtless, would find the
utilities clamoring for a state
commission.
Until this year, most of the
utilities shuddered at the very
thought of a state board to fix
rates and otherwise supervise
electric light and gas companies.
But if many cities, through leg
islative enactment, set up local
rate-making boards you will find
the utilities perferring one board
to dozens and, by the same pro-
ces of reasoning, it is likely q
state utilities commission bill, for
the first time in history, would
not encounter much opposition
from the big corporations.

The present drive to conciliate

by the Administration, is having
a disintegrating effect upon soli-
darity in Congress, where it is
viewed by some conservative
Democrats as an indication that
the President is weakening and
that direction of affairs will be
left in their hands. Upon almost

in the proceedings and you may
have wondered why.
Although the House of Lords
contains more veterans than the
lower division and in spite of the
fact that several Senators are
certain to have well-defined tax
programs up their sleeves, this
commentator hazards the opinion
that the session will find the
House taking the lead and the
senate sitting quietly awaiting
the products of Speaker Woods
procession surveys.
Such a situation would estab-
lish precedent. Usually it is the
other way around. But you can
bet your vest buttons that the
senate will have the last word
and we forecast most of the i'm
portant bills will be decided in
conference committees.

1t may be taken as a foregone
conclusion that unless the Demo-
Gratis nominate a candidate who
has the blessing of the President.
the party's cause is lost in the
year 1910. Every experienced
politician knows this. The party
must face the voters next year
upon the record of the Admins
tration and its fate will be de-
termined solely upon the success
with which the President leads
his party toward the solution of
our national problems.

Now this is big news, not only
in Tampa but all over the state,
because it is indicative of leg
islative trend. Senator Whitaker
may be a candidate for governor
and many may brand this bill
as campign thunder. Neverthe-
less, the fact remains that the
fiery Tampan possesses a keen
political sense and keeps his fin
ger pressed close to the public
pulse.
All of Whitaker's bills are 30
Gals" and will be passed by the
upper division under. the iron
clad rule of senatorial courtesy.
1t is inconceivahle that the Hills
borough delegation in the House
will fight the senator's pets"
and this means the coming sum-
mer in Tampa will be exceedingly
hot.

The legislative pendulum is
swinging towards economy. Tax
payers associations are putting
the pressure on senators and rep
resentatives and the tax boost
recommended by the budget
commission has merely thrown
fat on the fire.
But there is a danger that the
economy axe may cut too deep.
Departmental consultations are
suggested ON every hand. Never
theless, the actual dollars and
cents savings in most cases is
trivial in comparison with the
loss in efficiency and service to
the public. The cause of conser-
walton should not be hamstrung
by foolhardy consultations.
Many of these governmental
services are worthwhile and serve
useful purpose. Sober thought
is needed and care should be
taken that, in pruning the dead
limbs, the tree itself is not killed.

The fact that some Defnocrats
oppose every step taken sbyfthe
President lever if the antagonis-
tic group is composed of differ
ent members upon occasion),
does not lessen the handicap that
the party leaders face. The idea
is spreading throughout the ma
ton that they cannot present an
acceptable solution of present
difficulties, and that they are in
capable of united leadership in
regards to world affairs.

THE PERISCOPE

UTILITIES ON SPOT
CONE STANDS PAT
TAIL WAGS DOG
WHAT PRICE ECONOMY

Inspired by Miami's victory
over the Florida Power & Light
Company and the policies of the
national administration with ref
erence to cheap power in the
southern states, several legisla-
tors have drafted bills that may
cause the public utilities many a
headache during the coming ses-
sion.
First of these measures bobbed
up in a series of legal advertise
ments appearing in the Florida
Labor Advocate in Tampa last
week and the items were over
looked by both local dailies.
Senator Pat Whitaker is the au-
thor of the measures, which are
aimed directly at the Tampa
Electric Company.
Heading the list was a bill
creating municipal utility
board, which would be clothed
with authority to fix and enforce
electric light and power rates in
Tampa. Second was a measure
declaring the utility's franchise
null and void and the others
would give the city the right to
examine the company's books.
Before the session ends, if in
formation reaching your COM
mentator is correct, a bill will
be introduced to give Tampa con-
sumers to right to decide by their
ballots next September whether
they want to buy the electric
company's holdings or build a
plant of their own.

The outlook for party harmony
is not bright. Despite present
trends to placate business and to

sible, through cooperation, there
is little evidence that the warning

 We were again pleased to note an increase of births, 1854 for 1888, compared with 1463 for 1897.

school registrations fear a future day when the schools in Waterbury will be deserted, should be taken with more than the usual grain of salt.
 For one thing the birth rate in- creased in Waterbury during the past year. According to statistics obtained from the Board of Health, there were 14.6 babies born here for each 1000 of the population. In 1886 there were only 12.9 babies born in the city, the lowest figure recorded at the health department for 25 years. In 1897 there were 13.8 babies born.
 True, registrations in the primary grades are at their lowest ebb, but there is every indication from the gradually increasing birth rate that these first grades will begin to fill normally when the children respon- sible for this increased birth rate become of school age. This dearth of registrations in 1898, also, is in great part due to a decreased birth rate of former years and should be interpreted in that light. Also, as D. Condon states in his report, the registrations have decreased partly because many families have left the city.
 Decline Checked
 It will, of course, take long time for school registrations to equal those of former years. From 1920 to 1885 inclusive, period of 16 years, the birth rate in the city dropped 52.5 per cent and for the five years ending in 1885 a decline of 14.7 per cent appears.
 But the increased business con- ditions of 1898 added to the climb ing birth rate, which though small. is at least steady, sounds hopeful note.
