bill as the greatest tragedy which ever
happened to New Vork City.
"The bill takes away from the city
all its rights and power of control
over the traction linos, and this de?
spite the fact that all the lines are
within the city; despite the fact that
the city has invested its money in
the traction lines, and despite the fact
that the lino* are supported mainly
by the people of the City of Now
York," continued Tolbert.
?'This is a local question, to be
solved by ourselves. In order that wo
may do that we are willing to continue
to 'stand and hang by the straps and |
be crowded into car?.
"Amend* the bill so that the city '
will bave the final say. If the plan '
submitted to the city officials is a
cr?per one, and it refuses to accept it,
the people will turn them out of office
at the next election. If you don't do ;
that, at least give the people the right i
to vote on any plan proposed.

Warm Days Halt
Home Ice Making
Housewives in some of the
more learned sections of the
city, where economy is also
practiced, complain about the
warm weather. During the
nippy days these housewives
fill their dishpans with water
before xetiring and place them
outside on the fire escape. In
the morning the dishpan con
tains a large cake of ice. Bi:
during these warm days the
housewives nave to shcut, "Oh,

Senator Nathan Straus jr., Democrat,
of New York, said that the principal
objection he had to the bill was that
it sought to stabilize the securities.
Senator John L. Karle, Republican, of
Queens, said that the bill took every?
thing from the cities and nothing from .
the railroad companies.
Senator Alvah W. Burlingame jr., Re- ?
publican, of Kings, said:
"The whole thing is staged. The i
votes are counted. It is useless to talk.
Vet I cannot let this opportunity go by j
without saying to those who have been
whipped into line by every known polit
ical pressure that New York City is
against, this bill.
"This is an eight or a ten cent fare
bill- nothing else.
"We put the power to fix rates in the
hanfls of three men. If two of these
nun now unknown?want to increase
fares, the fares will be increased. Such (
a circumstance was never contemplated
by the framers of the Constitution."
The Senator then read from a list of
the largest stockholders of the lnter
borough, beginning with the estate of
day Could and ending with a number of
Standard Oil directors.
"If you vote for this bill," said Bur- I
lit?game, "you are voting subscription!
to the people on this list?the widows
and orphans wc hear so much about." j
McCuc Mams New York Men
The next speaker was Senator Martin
G, McCuc, Democrat, of New York. Im-,
passioncdly he denounced the propo?
nents of the, bill, saying:
"You are not bouncing anybody. You,
are not going to make anybody believe
thai you are living up to your oath of
office in voting for this bill after the
very meager explanations you have
heard. If this bill goes through we in
New York City are going to be robbed.
If 1 voted for this bill I would expect
;he people to follow me in the streel
crying. 'Thief! thief! thief!' and to you
men from New York City who are go-,
ing to vote for the bill, 1 say as you
lay your head en the political block,,
'( !od be wil h you ! ' "
Senator John J. Boylan, Democrat,
of New York, repeated his arguments
of yesterday. lie was followed by
Senator Schuyler M. .Meyer. Repub?
lican, of New York, the first speaker |
for the bill.
"I have heard some home rule talk !
to-day," he said, "and 1 have prepared!
in this sheet which 1 hold in my hand]
a list of the anti-home rule bills in?
troduced in the last ten years in this
Legislature. ! find there .vt;r<: t, I'M
sucii biils, which provided for manda?
tory increases in salary, rehearings of
: <?? men and policemen, and the 1 kc
01 lis number 1,116 were introduced
by Democrats from New York City and
the balance from Republicans of New
York City. Not one by any man from
up- >tal ??."
' llow did you stand on those bills?"
aski d Minoi ity Leader Walk >r.
"1 introduced two." replied Meyer.
"You introduced twenty-six.''
Accepts Word of Nix an
Senator Meyer then read the report
of Public Service Commissionei Nixon,
v. ho was appi ; ntcd by Govi . nor Sin ith,
and who recommended a flexible, fare.
In this report Mr. Kixon said that with
sui h a system it would be only a short
time before books of tickets could be
-. , ! at an average cost of less than
5 cents a ticket. Mr. Nixon in the
report charged that the Hylan adminis?
tration's i (action was responsible for
the present condition in the transit
lines.
' I would rather take the word of
Mr. Nixon," continued Meyer, "that an
emergency ex.*.is and some drastic
remedy must be applied, rainer than
the taiK ol opponents of this bill who
have not maue a study of the subject..
"Not a suggestion of a substitute
has been made here to-day by those
opposed to the Governor's plan. The
city authorities have known of this
legislation for two montas. They
could have .called in the Public Serv?
ice Commission, sat around a table,
and tried to arrive at a solution. But
what they nave Jone is what they have
been doing for the last three years
nothing, fhey want us to let the trae
tion probli in remain the football of
politics. Until some constructive
:? an is offered, the representatives of
the City of New York in this Legis?
lature should support the Governor's
plan.''
Thin the introducer of the bill in
the Senate, Senator John Knight, of
Arci d . ; isc to defend the bill. He ?
? tit into the ?.?story of transit legis?
lation to 1875, w!nn public utilities in
their franchises were permitted to
charge 5, 10 and 1 ."> cents a mile. lie
said that there was nothing in the
original rapid transit act which gave
the * ty of New York any other power
of consent except that of construction,
and '.hat that was embodied in the bill
bei ore the Legislature. This, he said,
I was the only power over traction com
| panics delegated to the City o?" New
'i ork by the state.
"lr is true that the dual subway con?
tracts were approved by the City of
New York." said Knight, "but there
was no provision of law to authorize
| this. Then the city was dealing with
I but one corporation. This bill deals
with fifty-eight corporations, ten of
I which have gone into the bands of re?
ceivers and another ten have sus?
pended operation."
City Authorities Did Nothing
He said that the argument that the
matter should be left to the city
, authorities to solve was idle, in view of
the fact that they had done nothing
although they had three years in which
to act.
"It will take $500,000,000 to take care
of the transit extensions in New York
City," continue,! Knight. "That could
; not be done by I he City of New York
because of the debt limit, fixed by the
constitution, and this is another rea?
son why the bill should pass."
Senator Knight then took up *he ad?
ministrative features of the ?ill and
explained them.
"The provisions regarding rates are
general and apply to all municipalities,
the only exception being New York
; City, where we provide that temporary
rates .shall not be allowed except under
certain conditions,''said Senator Knight.
"This provision is not in the interest
of the corporations, but the people at
large. Uder the provisions of this bill,
which is not confiscatory, a plan
, can be developed for a unified service
in tl ?? gr?a te r city."
Minority Leader Walker asked Sena
i tor Knight if a private contract could
j be abrogated.
"It was abrogated in the rent laws,"
said Knight.
"Oh, no. The health and morals of
the people were endangered by the
housing situation," said the minority
; leader. "Now i know why there was
| all this talk of abuse of women and girls
in the subway yesterday. It is to lay
i a foundation for a light in the courts.
where you don't
have to "keep off
the grasa."
Tho police power has been used in
this instance for some loose talking
and loose thinking. Why, your argu?
ments would bring tears or laughter
from the Sphinx."
The minority leader then read the
City Club's analysis and criticism of
the bill and said this clearly showed
that the Transit Commission would
zone the city, dividing the subway
into three parts, or more if it wished,
and fix a 10 cent furo in each zone.
lie called upon the proponents of the
bill to deny this if it were untrue.
"This section of the bill, specifying
that the city shall finance the Transit
Commission, willy nilly," continued the
minority leader, "also provides thnt
you can put elected city officials of New
York City into jail if they refuse to
pay the money." ,
Senator Frederick M. Davenport, pto
fessor of economies at Hamilton Col?
lege, who was expected to lend the
tight against the bill, was the next
speaker. IJe defended the measure as
necessary to bring an end to the di?
vided responsibility which, he said, had
brought about a condition bordering on
chaos in the public utilities of the
state.
"The only rock of danger in this
plan," lie continued, "is the section
providing (or temporary increases in
fare without consent of the city au?
thorities."
lie declared that the measure did not
look after the interests of a vast in?
terweaving or sinister influences as
was charged by sonic of the opponents,
but was intended for the public wel?
fare.
"The working out of the plan pro?
vided for in this bill will prove," said
Davenport, "that, the Governor bus, as
he said during the campaign, but one
client the people of the Stale of New
York. It is up to us to give him the
chance to win.'
"The minority,'' said Senator Lusk,
"has treated this bill solely from the
standpoint of political expediency. As
i listened to them attack Governi r Mil?
ler 1 recalled that the majority, when
Governor Smith asked for traction
legislation, did not cast any aspersions
upon Governor Smith's honesty. 1
voted for his hi]l. ' also voted for the
bus hill of Mayor Hylan. who is a bit
of a demagogue, always at the bead of
the mob; not a leader, but borne along
with the mob. All of this talk of home
rule is without, a scintilla of sincerity.
"Mayor Hylan's only plan is to sit by
and wait, for the traction lines to go
into bankruptcy. Whether his motive
is (inaiiciivl or political 1 do not know,
bul lie does not care for the suffering
of the people of New York City. Wc
have the choice of voting on tins meas
ure from the standpoint of principle
or the standpoint of political ex?
pediency."
The vote was then taken on Senatoi
Duggan's motion to strike out. It was
lost by a vote of 33 to IS. Thirteen
amendments were then offered to flu
bil!. All were defeated, the vote vary?
ing not more than three either way.
Way I'aved for Assembly Passage
While the Seriate was engaged ir
debate on the rapid transit measure
Assembly leaders paved the way foi
speedy disposal of the bill when it is
brought up for passage in the Housi
to-morrow. This work consisted mainlj
in weeding out a number of amend
ments similar to those which made
heavy inroads upon the time of th(
Senate.
The strength of the proponents o?
'be t l'action bill ill the House was dis
played when a motion made by Minor
ity Leader Donahue to have the meas?
ure returid to committee was de?
feated by a vote o? 94 to 50. \\ I
loaders are not inclined tu believe
that they will have, a similar numbei
of votes at their disposal when tin
final roll call on the passage of tin
! il! comes Up to-morrow, they think
nevertheless, it indicates that tk>
measure will pass with not less thar
85 votes.
The traction bill was advanced to or
der of passage without a formal vote
The motion for its advancement was
made by Majority Leader Simon L. Ad
1er after Donohue's motion to recom
mil had been defeated. The motion t<
advance was carried without objection
The Assembly's action on the bil
was brisk, and lacked the verbal pyro
technics which kept the Senators it
their -.-?<,vA< for more than eight hours
When the measure was called up Mr
Adler announced that no member vvoub
be allowed to debate the measure fo'
more iban fifteen minutes. He urgei
those who desired to speak to with
? obi their speeches until the bill come:
up for lina] passage to-morrow, whei
they would be given unlimited time.
.Minority Leader Donohue, who movei
to return 1 he bill to committee am
introduced two amendments, and As
semblyman George M. .lessee, who pre
rented five amendments, were the onl;
ones who spoke and they confine?
themselves entirely to brief explana
lions of their proposals. All amend
ments were defeated.

ALBANY, March 16.- Mayor Hylan
to-day saw the Senate kill the Down?
ing bill increasing the salary of the
Mayor of New York City from $15,000
to $25,000.
Senator Bernard M. Downing had
counted on thos? who remained silent
to vote for the bill. When Senator
Abraham Katlin, Republican, of Brook?
lyn, inquired if Mayor Hylan was for
the bill Minority Leader Walker said
he would let him know immediately.
Walker went over to where Mayor
Hylan .sat. the two whispered, and then
the minority leader announced after
he returned to his seat, that the Mayor
would veto the bill If ?t came before
him.
"Well, let us save the Mayor the
trouble," said Katlin. "Let us kill the
bill."
"No, don't kill the bill," pleaded
Senator Martin G. McCue, of Tammany
Hall. "The bill also provides for an
increase of the salary of the Comp?
troller to $25,000.. When we pass the.
bill the Mayor can have a hearing on
it and he may be persuaded to sign it."
Senator John Boylan, another Tam?
many Senator, made a similar plea.
So d'id Daniel F. barn-lb
"*i o,.' ?oit in Minori:;, Li uler
Walker, "even though the M'ayor does
say that, be will veto the lull we

When the measure was defeated. Sen?

Merchants' ' Association Sends

mercial Organizations
An appeal to all commercial organ
i izati?ns in .New York State to bring
about trie adoption of local daylight
saving ordinances was made yesterday
by the Merchants' Association of. this
; city.
"You are no doubt familiar," the ap?
peal says, "with the fact that the lay
light saving repeal bill has been passed
by l?ir Legislature and signed by tiie
Governor and is now a law of the state.
The new law provides that municipali?
ties desiring to avail themselves of the
i benefits of daylight saving may do so
by the enactment of local ordinances.
"We urge that you give thai feature
of the present law immediate attention
anil take steps to have the necessary
'ordinance adopted in your community.
Von are familiar with the great bene
j fits of daylight saving, particularly in
i urban districts."
The letter further suggests that the
local ordinances conform as.far as pos?
sible with the wording of the. [Odge

Congress, and to be reintroduced in
the new Congress.

Prohibition of
Good Will
The danger of wood alcohol masked behind
even the most dependable of old labels illustrates
the fear of Caveat Emptor in these piping days
of peace.
Caveat Emptor is the opposite of Good Wil!.
With Good Will the buyer believes in and
depends upon the firre old trade mark of fine old
I houses.
Caveat Emptor means let the buyer beware.
In these days there is no longer safety in
known labels because liquor is contraband.
Who goes in fear trusting no label, no brand,
no seal, no mark, even if blown in the bottle,
think what it would mean if all Good Will for
every known commodity were destroyed and we
ihad left only Caveat Emptor.
Thanks be, this is only an illustration.
The earning of Good Will is the big thing in
big business today.
National Advertising is an engagement en?
tered into by the manufacturer to safeguard the
interests of the consumer in consideration of the
creation of a Good Will asset.
