Bf? M certainty a loc-l power.**
Ultimately the power to construct
liS-hways should b. divorced from the
?t*to regulatory ?/?wer, in his opinion,
the Governor *__ed. jest aa h? be?
lieved that the management of the
?'sty-owned and eity-eon*tructed lines

?Uote authorit.?*#?, precio*Iy as provided
by the Transit Commission's plan for
i'y representation on the Board of
tont rol of the worganked subway
riyrtem.
Hero Gavrinor Miller paused for a
????ment to remark:
"That is what I call real home rule
_? distinct from the fake brand of
-ion!? rufo upon which the citizens o?
his town have been fed up for the,
?at four years, while their tax rate
ha? mounted from 2.00 per ?sent to !
..79 per cent on an almost <l?--blcd
asseisment, while the tajtes on a home !
to-d?y valued at $10,000, have in five
??ears increased more than f 160," ho
?aid.
Explains Rent Rise
""That explains why rents have gone
up in this cl?.y. and the unfortunate
part about it is that tho money has
Seen used, not to give the people of
hi? City ?i-rvsce, but to build up a po
Hi.al machine, to give favors to a few j
while the interest a of the city have
suffered, while the boys and giris of
'he city, 200.000 of them, have been
iepriv.d of their birthright, the right
'o have every minute of the time ai
'?t?e?l to them to obtain an education,
m?l while the policemen and the fire
nen, who daily offer their lives to save
?it iives and property of the citizens
of thi? totvn, have had every request
or an increase of pay met with jeers.
"I nm stepping a little aside from
'.he point which I wish to emphasize
to make pointed reference to the dif
iercneo between practice and profes
??ion, between words and df*ds," he
re-unied, "and that difference is no?
where made more manifest than by the
.jeclaratiori of the Democratic platform
..nd the declaration of the Democratic
?andidatc and by his own performan?*?*,
""or h-' recommended, and it was his
drat official act on tho first of January,
'91?, that the Legislature ?rive him the
-jowcr to create not one but two state
igencies to deal with transit. Ho has
tated during this campai'-*'', that the
raetion interests of New York came
to him and he sent them back to the
.?ity administration. This, in face of
rhat record where ho asks not only
?hat the regulatory powers be contin
?ed in a ttatc agency, but that the
xywera to construct the rapid transit
?-y.teuis be continued in a state j
.?gency, as well to act for the City of
New Yor?*"'
Legislature Not Hostile
The Smith ^commendation-? were not
?nado to a hostile Republican legisla?
ture, as Mr. Smith has been assorting,
Governor Miller pointed out, because
h?>re had been no time for any hos
il.ty to develop between him and the
Legislature. Nor was the action taken
by that body accepted by Governor
Smith as the best that he could hope
to ?'it. because he was granted exactly
?vhot he asked for, ?nd in recommend?
ing the legislation giving him power
o appoint the. two state oommtssions
?o Wrote that he suggest?*?! this stsp
? if ter years of observation.'*'
The speaker then mentioned the _*,
"empts made by Lewis Nixon, Gover?
nor Smith'?* appointee as Public Serv?
ice Commissioner, to raU-c fares, his
nermission to charge n two-cent trans
ev. and his condemnation of bussr?-.
"That was the. record of a year's
service by Commissioner Nixon,' said
'he Governor. "Was the then Gov?
ernor, the present candidate, in favor
?f what his commissioner had don?}?
Will he now shy whether be agreed
? i th his commissioner or disagreed

*.'ear of Nixon's attempt, M*? vaibc fares
in the City of New York, tho Gov
? rr.or addrcsEed a message to (he
'L?gislature, when it niet in 1920, and
n thai me.sago he used this lan
,:ur.ge:
Calls A?-tion J.sttfied
" 'In my first message to tha Leglsla
?jre of 1919 T asked for a radical
change in the structure of the coin
i li.sion In the 1st District. This sug?
gestion met with your approval, ?nd
! am convinced that the ?function of
?he commission in the 1st District has
been materially simplified and that
the result has in every way justified
5 our action.'
"The only result of which the people
nf this town were con?cloui* was the
increased fares that tbey 'liad t? pay.
On that record I h?ve a right to ask
hot the Democratic candidate say
whether he repudiates what he did an.
Governor, and if he ?ices repudiates it
bow he reconciles !t with what he is
;io*j? promising a? a candidate."
Dropping Mr. Smith for the moment,
Governor Miller then reminded his
audience of the episode in August
?918, When Mayor Ily'un wrote a lettei
to tW Public Karvice Commission sug
rest??.?* that if after curtailing exc?s
?rr_ .'tlarics and guaranties the rapic

Miller Contrasts Smithes (ampaign
Promises With Record?is Governor
Opening the last week of his campaign 1st night in New York
City, Governor Miller:
Accused former Governor Alfred E. Smiti of being dishonest in
seeking votes upon a promise to give tho peoje light wine? and beer,
because he knows that no Governor and no legislature has tho power
to override the Constitution of the United St??* in order to carry out
such promise;
Declared that Mr. Smith, in stating now ;hat hi favors municipal
control of public utilities wholly within a mmicipality is belying his
own record as Governor, when he appointed ;wo state commissions to
solve tho transit problem in New York City;
Gave a definite and unequivocal pledge that ho would restore a
univers.*;! fsve-cent fare in this city, by which for five cents transporta?
tion from one end of the city to the other in any direction would be
furnished ;
Accused Mr. Smith of giving lip-scrvici only to the plank in the
Democratic platform calling for the appointa ,nt by the city adminis?
tration of two representatives on the Port Ai thority because of his
previous public support of the plan which h himself aided in drawing'
up, under which the Governor appoints the nenibcrs of tho commission.
i
sior which, if he was not a par--y to
the negotiations between MacFar
!?nd, Shonts and Quackenbush, would
strongly confirm to me the belief In
cpiriuialisni, because I am quite cer
tnin that one of the spirits that must
have dominated that interesting con?
ference was whispering in the ear of
the Mayor when he penned this letter,
dated August 16, 1918. It may have
been composed by a spirit, but it was
signed 'John P. Hylan, Mayor.*"
"The situation then was intolerable,
according to the Mayor. He then had
in mind increasing fares, with which to
do what the Transit Commission is now
doing without increasing fares, and he
had in mind the adoption of the Chicago
and the Boston plan. Ho had in mind
then a constructive program. The only
wrong part of it was the question of
fare?, because this question was not in
its essence a fare question. Put he
evidently soon changed his mind. He
evidently discovered that it was better
to cultivate a grievance than to remove
it. AH attempt at a constructive pro?
gram ended and a situation which he
described in 1918 to bo "intolerable,'
continued to grow more intolerable
without one single further suggestion
being mado for constructive relief,
eitiier with reference to the existing
lim'.- or with reference to new lines.
"The work of building the subways
already under contract was delayed and
no pian or suggestion was brought for?
ward for the building of new lines for
four years, until, faced with the fact
of a constructive program being car?
ried out by the Transit Con$$nission
and facing an election, on the' 6th of
last month a so-called plan was pro?
mulgated, to which I shall doubtless
have occasion to refer later on.
Service Demoralised
"What was the situation In 1921 at
tha end of four years of obstruction
and destruction ?" the Governor asked.
"A practically universal transfer sys?
tem on the surface lines had been de?
stroyed. One hundred aw? eighty-five
million double fares were collected in
the year ended Juno '10, 1921, where
before but a single fare had been col?
lected. Car S?nico and train service
had been bo reduced that the crowd?
ing on the cars had become inhuman.
From lack of repair the physical prop?
erties had deteriorated and were in
chs"h unfit for use.
"That was the situation which exist?
ed when I came into office. I could
have left that situation alone and the
debate between Commissions-1 Nixon
and Mayor Hylan could have con?
tinued, to *he delectation of tho people
of this city. I was advised to lot it
alnn?, but a situation, intolerable in
1018, according to the testimony of the
Mayor, had now reached a stage where
further delay was fraught even with
disaster to the people of this city. I
could not refuse to discharge a re?
sponsibility which the state already
had assumed in respect of transit in
the City of New York without betray?
ing a trust to the millions of people
whose happiness, comfort and safety
depended upon a proper solution of the
problem.
"I was advised to pavo the way for
what was done by the appointment of
a commission to investigate, which
meant the delay of another year, and
there had been four years of talk. I
was told that the eight-cent fare child,
the illegitimate offspring of the un?
natural and unholy alliance of August,
1918, would be laid at my door.
Demands Honest Settlement
"My friends pleaded with me to as?
sure the people of this town that there
would be no increase in fares. I ?aid
that the question was not a faro ques?
tion; that it was, first of all, a ques?
tion of service, and that it would never
be solved right until it was solved hon?
estly, and that- it could not be solved
both' honestly and right except by lodg.
ing tho power In a commission of up?
right citizens who would substituto in?
vestigation for declamation, who woulc
substitute judgment for denunciatior
and effective orders backed by th?
I power of the state for the harmles:
duds which had been fired from Cit:
Hall. There waB just one matter th*
j was plain to me, so plain that it di
not seem to be necessary to take an
i other year to talk atiout It, and tha
was that th? first start was to cstab
lis? a competent authority.
"All we did was to undo the niistak
that had been made by mv predeccssoi
Not one single power that had eve
been exercised by any city in this stat
was lodged in the Transit Commission
The only powers lodged in the Transi
Commission were the powers that ha
been ex-ercised by the two state ager
clcs under my predecessor, by thei
predecessor, the Public Service Con
? mission and its predecessor, th
' ?.*P *?*->. Transit Commission. W
did do exactly one thing whic
is the only basis for the charge
tho Democratic candidate makes. ?*?#<!
did lim?", the power to obstruct by pro?
viding that after ample opportunity
had beai afforded the city administra?
tion to co-operate if nothing but ob?
structs?:? were offered, the commis?
sion coald go ahead regardless of that
obstruction. We provided for the rule
which ipplied when I played basebnll?
three strikes and out. We provided for
three opportunities for the city admin?
istration to co-operate.
"Until the exigencies of the cam?
paign appeared to demand something
else there was evidence of a growing
disposition to co-operate, and the
Mayor himself announced that ho and
| the Trfinait C-.r-irnissiori were not far
? apart.
"You have had before you the Work
! of the Transit Commission for a year
| and sir. months. I cannot discuss that
work at length to-night. 1 wish to
say that it is not my work. It is the
work of the citimis of your town. The
only thing thut I have done and tho
only thing I propose, if continued in
office, to do, is to support that work
so long as it Is done in its present
fashion, by a!! of the power and all of
the weight and all of the authority of
the State of New York. And it. is
necessary to have that support, i o have
anything effective done, as you have
already had an object, lesson.
"The traction interesta may have
been haled to court by the. Mayor and
his Corporation Counsel, and they may
have been daily denounced, but. nothing
worse than abuse was inflicted upon
them," added the Go%_rnor. "The Tran?
sit Commission, on the other hand, bus
improved the service, refused to ul?
ereas? tho fare, squeezed the water
from tho Intcrborou'gh stock and insist?
ed upon the readjustment of tho rela?
tionship between the Intorh'orough and
tho Manhattan Elevated Company.
Promises Universal 5-Ccnt Fare
"Weighing my words, I am now pre?
pared definitely and uncijuivocably,
realizing fully the difficulties that muy
?still be met with from obstruction, to
re-establish tho five-cent fare and to
make it a universal five-cent fare, and
by universal five-cent fares I mean the
chance to ride from any point in this
great city to any other point in this
great city for a single fate of five
cents," lie concluded.
Governor Miller issaile*!.* his oppo?
nent on the Port Authority issue be?
cause Mr. Smith has recently modi?
fied his support of the plan by sub?
scribing to the Democratic .plank call?
ing for two representatives of the
city on the enromifcsion. First, how?
ever, he scored the Democratic candi?
date for riot hav.ii'g dor-v^nytlujig to?
ward advancing the 'project.while in
office, pointing out that'the initial (.]?-.?
lay in inaugurating the pyoje**!. was not
due to the opposition of tue Repub?
lican Legislature, as claimed by JJr,
Smith, but. to the veto of the Governor
of New Jersoy, which ?rose from the
fact that New York was not >ct ready
to enter the project.
"I did not prepare that plan. It
was left entirely, so far as the State
of New York was concerned, to the
commission composed of your own
citiiens. The Democratic candidate
did have a hand in the preparation of
that plan, because I had appointed
him a member of the commission. It
was his plan. He was for the piar
then because he strongly advocatec
it when it was presented to the Legis?
lature, and I take it he is for the
plan now.
Mayor's Plan Ridiculed
"Another plan was submitted by th?
city administration, radically differ?
ent from the plan of the Port Au
thority. That plan was urged upor
the Legislature by the Mayor of th?
city, and I am told was ridiculed an?
torn to pieces by the present Demo
cratic candidate for Governor.
"If the proposition for which hi
now ntands had been embodied In thi
compact u year ago the inevitable re
suit would have been _ deadlock. Tho
city administration would have pre?
sented its plan, the plan that it did
present to the Legislature, the other
four members of the commission would
have stood for the plan which my ad?
versary must favor, and no action w'hat
ever would have resulted. If his pro?
posal were now to be incorporated In
the compact the samo result would fol?
low, that in the very first step to exe?
cute the plan a deadlock would inevi?
tably result The attitude of the pres?
ent city administration, the declared
purpose of the Mayor nnd of the mem?
bers of the Hoard of Estimate and Ap?
portionment, on this subject can leave
no dcubt whatever on that head.
"Docs the Democratic candidate for
Governor still favor hi? own wlnn?
Doe? ho want it executed? If he is
I ?till for hii* own plan ho must be glv
j ing lip service to the platform upon
I which he is running, for if he really
stands on that platform he is definitely
? committed to a platform which would
? block nil action. The people of this
? town are entitled to know precisely
? where he stands. He cannot woll lay
that he hopes to convince or to convert
the Mayor, because he himself has
given unmistakable evidence on that
head, for in a public 6peech delivered
last winter he stated that it was im?
possible to get the Port Authority plan
? through the head of the Mayor except
i possibly by one of Conan Doyle';;
spirits, Hns the Democratic candidate
become a convert to spiritualism? Is
he willing to trust tho execution of a
plan for which he himself has stood
to the chance that some ray of light
fro3U the spirit world may penetrate
'i brain which he has said to have been
! otherwise impenetrable? Tho people of
I this town are entitled to an expressed
i opinion."
A crowd of more than 1,500 filled the
I auditorium of the school to hear the
j Governor speak and overflowed into the
; hallways. Frequent and vigorous ap
! plause punctuated his attacks on the
Democratic candidate, and so many en
' thusin.tic supporters pressed forward
j on the sidewalk in front of the build?
ing to shake his band that he had dif?
ficulty in making his way to and from
his automobile. In addition to the
demonstration on the. Governor's ar?
rival by tho large number of people
who had gathered in the street to wel?
come him ho was given an ovation by
tho audience as ho walked on to the
stage.

YEAR in, year out, the

continues to grow with dis?

tribute its phenomenal sales
partly to the education of cigar
smokers in the flavor value of
a Af 17 ufa vana filled cigar but
still more to appreciation of

<_// sealed verdict;
"Guilty of embezzlement'5
In the rear of the courtroom sat the plaintiff?a widow.
The defendant had been her trustee. He had misappro?
priated her money. But little remained of the substantial
estate her husband had left her. She was all but penniless.
. "Guilty of embezzlement " read the jury's verdict; but
'?? ? though the ?aw will punish, it cannot return stolen or squandered
funds.
It is just as necessary to protect your wife against in?
competence or negligence on the part of a trustee as
against dishonesty. Though he may be a man of unques?
tioned integrity, the individual trustee often lacks the time,
experience and professional knowledge required to satisfac?
torily manage and conserve the property of others.
The trust officers of The Equitable will
gladly explain its services as executor or co
executor under a will, as administrator of
an estate, and as trustee of life insurance and
other property for the benefit of dependents.
