The State Senate Has Passed a Bill
Wiping Ont the Infamous
Gas Consolidation.
The Fate of Jake Sharp. President of the
Broadway4 Railroad, Through
His Proxies,
Is Well Enough Remembered to Stir Up
the Legislative Records of
the Ons Trust
The City Council Is Moving Againit the Noto
rious Gas Trust with Great ! '
Vigor.
The Council Judiciary Committee Decides Upon
a Red Hot and Very Inter
esting; Report.
The tin Trust paid S'.'.'O.OOO to mem
ber of the Fortieth iSenernl Assembly
of Illinois for a law under which it
could rob the people to Its heart's con
tent. Hut It overlooked a few points thnt
even bribery couldn't cover up.
Section lit of Article 4 of the Consti
tution of Illinois declares that uo sub
ject not embraced In the title of a bill
shall become a law. There are some
subjects In the body of the Infamous
gns-ctMisolIdatlon and froufage bill not
embraced In the title. Hence the lnw I
void.
THIS LAW. known as the "GAS
CONSOLIDATION ACT." empowered
all existing gns companies to consoli
date with nnd merge Into a single cor
poration, "which shall be one of snld
merging nnd consolidation corpora
tions." and Inasmuch as this ACT, con
veying purported authority, grants to
nil then existing gas companies In the
city of Chicago certain exclusive tights
and privileges, not contemplated by or
given them by any ordinance of the
Chicago City Council, nuil ns the right
to l.sue franchises and prescribe terms
for privileges granted thereby Is ex
pressly reserved to and held to be In
herent In the City Council by the State
Constitution of 1870, which provides
that the State Legislature shall not
grant and cannot convey lights nnd
privileges In the streets of cities to cor
porations or Individuals, except by nnd
with the consent of the local authori
ties (meaning the City Council), it is
unconstitutional on thnt paint.

pealing the above Chicago Economic
I'liel Ons Company ordinance, and
declining nil pipes nnd connections In

of the oidluuuce regarding forfeiture,
mid upon the ground thnt ti majority of
the slock of snld company had passed
luio the hands of the (ins Trust.
THE OODEN. It Is now currently
reported, nnd there are grounds for be
lief, that the Ogdeii tins Company has
entered upou a contract with the (las
Trust agreeing not to extend Its plant
or pipes any further for a polled of
three years.
ALL EVAIU: THE LAW. All of the
above companies and corporations
have evaded the plain letter and legal
requirement of their franchises and
by the terms of said franchises have
forfeited every right and privilege con
tracted for with the city nnd conveyed
provisionally by ordinance.
VIOLATE FRANCHISES. It is pro
vlded lu mi ACT regulating the condi
tions for the granting of rights and
privileges for lighting and heating pur
pose by cities, also passed by the late

TAMOl'S "HAS CONSOLIDATION"
ACT provides that nl'ter one year the
O'AS TRUST may charge any rate

for Instance, with the PEOPLE'S (AS

Til KM. The Illinois Supreme Court
bus held nnd decided thnt an ordinance
granting franchise privileges Is a con
tract by mutual coii'cul, and thu rights
and privileges so granted me consider
ations In the siime, nnd evasion or re
pudiation of the spirit and letter of the
contract or nuy change therefiom un
less by consent constitutes u forfeiture
of rights, nnd, ns It luis nlwiijH been
held a proposition In both Kugllsh and
American law thnt "ACTS conferring

HON. SKYMOl'lt SNVAIlTS.
One of the lending Republican wimll
dates for City Treasurer is Mr. Soy
inotir Swnrts, Piv'vldciit of tho Swnrus
Metal Ucllntug Company, the lending
smelters and letlncrs of metnls In the
AVest. Mr. Swnrts Is' nn aggressive
young business man, nnd was born nnd
raised. In the old Seventli Wnrd. lie Is
u son-in-law of Mr. II, Wolf, the mill
ionaire wholesale dry goods merchant.
Mr. Swnrts was Imru In 1808, nnd lias
redded In the Klcvetith Wnrd for the
past eleven years. He has been ti life
long Republican, nnd hnsnhva.vs stood
by the regular Republican orgnnlxnttoiu
If given the Republican nomination for
City Treasurer he will prove it strong
candidate, as he Is one of the best-Ilkod
business men In Chicago, besides being
a member of the Masonic fraternity,
Mr. Swnrts Is n most popular member
of the Lincoln and West Chicago Clubs,
as well ns President of the Eleventh
Wnrd Hebrew Republican Club, which
Is u power lu West Chicago politics.
Alluding to Seymour Swnrts, lu n re
cent Issue the Western Electrician snld:
Although comparatively a young man,
Mr. Swnrts has met with flattering suc
cess In the mctiil-rcfliilng business. The
company' wns established In 1885 by
the senior Mr. Swnrts, nnd the subject
of this sketch took active charge In
1805. Mr. Swnrts was born In Chicago
lu 1808, nnd lias liad seventeen years'
experience In the metal business. His
wide acquaintance nnd close attention
to business has enabled 111 in to build up
a largu trade until, nt the present time,
the Swnrts Metal Refilling Company is
perhaps better known than any concern
engaged In n similar business through
out the United States. The principal
business of the Swnrts company In con
nection with clcctrlc-llght nnd electric
railway plants- Is the buying nnd selling
of bare copper trolley wire, Insulated
copper wire, brass mid' aluminum.
Through the energy of Mr. Swnrts this
business hns lieoji. built up to such nn
extent that the company Is now doing
business with two-thirds of the electric
lighting plants nnd three-fourths of the
eleiitrlc street railways throughout the
country. Mr. Swnrts. Is personally nc
qunlutcd with most of Ills customers,
Mid It Is safe to say that it would be
hard to Iiml a more genial man to do
business with, The company bears nu
enviable reputation, and its dealings
with Its customers have always given
the best of satisfaction. The company
started with one small solder kettle nnd
one testing furnmv. At tho present
time It Is operating six large kettles
and nine furnaces, with a capacity of
:t0,000 pounds of metal per day. This
Is certainly n good showing and an ex
ample of Chicago enterprise.
The Oas Trust had nn awful nerro
to buy up the Legislature nnd to se
cure tho passage of n measure killing
all opposition to It when It hnd no fran
chise from Chicago to do business It
self. If the members of our Legislature
are to be regularly bribed, and if tho
tribunals of justice fall through .cor
ruption, what will become of iopular
llherly mid popular tights'
The jury bribers arc on the run.
Clubs to light the Gns Trust have al
ready been organised In the 2Hth. l!lth,
14th. 20th, 21st, 10th, and 15th Wards.
Let the good work go on!
The (las Trust seekvto control the
bench, Legislature ana City Coiiuell.
Tho Democrats will make denuncia
tion of the Gas Trust n pan of their
city platform this year. Now what
will the Republicans doV
Why Is it that tho dally newspapers
ure nil talk nhout the repeal of the
Allen bill, and have nothing to say
about the gas frontago bill?
It will not be long before the people
settle the Gas Trust. Mnrk these
words.
Give the Gas
and the Bench,
soon bo serfs.
Trust the Legislature
nnd the iicoplo will
First Wnrd voters will be ably repre
sented lu the City Council If they elect
Fred B. Illlilreth, the well-known res
tauraut mini, Alderman next spring.
Tho farmers have still some rights in
Illinois. The Elevntor Trust must go.
The grain dealers nud fanners nro In
arms ngnliist the Elevator Trust.
Repeal the $5,000 limit law. Railroads
should pay more for human life.
The Gas Consolidation nud Frontago
Law Is to bo tested lu thu courts short
ly. Some stockholders nro preparing n
bill to test the constitutionality of the
law.
It Is said that tho majority of tho
men who voted for the gas consolida
tion bill at Springfield only received
750 each. Cheap enough.
Tho "Universal Gas Company" oh
tallied n fniuchlso from the city on tho
express stipulation that It 9'."Jld
charge but 00 cents per thousaud feet
for gas, Tho Universal company Is
iw owned by tho Trust, nnd Is fur
nish gus at $1.10 per 1,000 feet, In do
llau'co of lav,'. Its frauchlse should be
forfeited forthwith.
