UNIFORM PHONE AND ELECTRICITY RATES Boosevett Aska Why Regulattoft Is on Different Baals From That of Ball- roads, Where AU Travel at Same Cost Regardless of Location. Cheaper and more uniform rate* of electricity, so that It may be placed /within the reach of every-home in the state. This was the demand which Gover- nor Franklin D. Roosevelt made of the water power interests In his address in Empire court at grounds at Syracuse. '1 want to see every the state fair farm home have electricity,\ he told the 5,000 persons assembled in the court, ar- ranging the inequalities in rates which have barred many homes from the benefits of electric service and from telephone service as well. After reviewing the progress made to agricultural pursuits the. gov- ernor referred to what he termed a \broad economic division which relates to the agricultural prosperity of the state,\ Governor Roosevelt asked rel- ative to electric light rates \why should families in one section be so grossly penalized over families in other sec- tions?\ \it is an interesting fact that while telephones and electricity are broadly classed as public utilities In. the same field with railroads a different yard- stick is applied to their regulation.\ he said. \If you buy a ticket on a railroad in this -state it makes no difference whether you are travelling on the main line of the New York Central, where the trafflo is heavy, or on a small sin- gle track road in a sparsely settled section of the state, your railroad tic- ket costs the same per mile in both cases. \This ia on the theory that even though there may be little or no pro- fit to the railroad In running passen- ger trains on a branch line It should be made up for by the profit on the heavily-traveled section of the road, and that a citizen should not be dis- criminated against just because he happens to live on a branch line in- stead of a main line.*** * \Now I am sorry to say that the principle of reasonably equal service at reasonable equal cost to all the peo- ple of the state has not been carried out with regard to the two latest forms of public service—the telephone and electricity. \It is of course well known that the cost of the telephone to the farmer for example, depends very largely on what county and even more on what parti- cular road he happens to live. If he happens to be born Ob a farm on a highway away from neighbors he has to shoulder practically the entire or- iginal cost and upkeep of his tele- phone line. \By the same token the service given by the telephone company is as a matter of public knowledge vastly better in some localities than in others. In other words, the practical-use of the great utility known as the tele- phone is dependent in cost and use- futaess-in too many cases on the place OFFICERS FORCE DOORS AND MAKE $4,000 HAUL OF BOOZE Assorted liquors, Beer, Ale wad Wines Found In Basement Boom of Eagle* Club, Wateftown. Battering down locked doors, five customs patrol inspectors, armed with a searoh warrant, entered the club rooms of Watertown Lodge of Eagles, 119 Stone street, confiscated more than $4,000 worth of assorted liquors* beer, Canadian ales and wines and arrested Frank B. Olivet, club steward. Customs Patrol Inspector, William G. Dashley, in charge, with Patrolmen H. Whitan, B. Ltrabee, Don Sneedon, and B. F. Watrous. obtained a search warrant from U. S. Commissioner W. Glenn Larmonth before making the raid. As the officers) rushed into the club /rooms there were eight or nine per- sons, in the place. One man in the pool room, who apparently had a little al- cohol for his own personal consump- tion became frightened and smashed a. half pint bottle on one of the pool tables. The officers paid no attention to this man, and hurried tor the baae- mente. The man made a quick disap- pearance. No arrest was made in his case. In the basement was a separate sec- tion where the liquors were kept. This rear room had every window barred with heavy pipe. One window had a removable bar section. . The officers found 686 bags of Can- adian ale. 17% barrels of light beer, 437 quarts of assorted liquors, 15 gal- Jons of Sherry wine and 15 gallons of port wine. Denying the motion of Attorney T. Arthur Hendricks, representing the Fraternal Order of Eagles, that the proceedings against the club be dis- missed on the grounds that the search of the premises for liquor was illegal, Commissioner W. Glenn Larmonth, set ball for $5,000 for Frank Olive, steward of the club, and the olub and steward were held for federal court on a charge of posBesseion of smuggled goods. Commissioner Larmonth did not set any date for a further hearing at the conclusion-of—proceedings, Wednesday. LIEUT. J. F. WOOLSCHLAGER ATTENDS BIG RIFLE MEET where a man's house happens located. to be as the Public Service \The other example and one which is even more glaring in its unfairness is that of the use of electricity in the home. The railroad principle of fairly uniform rates has been thrown to the winds even by the public regulating body known Commission\. Why Such Different Rates? \Is it not time to stop and ask the question, \Why does electricity in the home—the electric lights, electric re- frigerator, electric sewing machine, the home machinery—cost as high as from 15 to 20 cents per kilowaat hour in some localities and as low as from 4 to 6 cents per kilowatt hour in other localities? Why should families in one section be so grossly penalized over families in other *ections2! r \During recent years the small local company furnishing electric light has been rapidly absorbed into the larger companies. There may have been some reason for difference in rates in the earlier days when each company stood on its own earning power. To- day, however, things are far different. \Very recently the greater part of all the electric companies in the state of New York were merged into three holding companies and within the past few months these three great holding companies have been merged into one colossal holding company. That hold- ing company controls today over three- quarters of the entire area of the state of New York. \The first great question to ask is whether the savings which have been promised in management and in over- . head by the merger will be translated into four practical results. First, bet- ter service; secondly, cheaper ana more-uniform Installation costs; third- ly, definitely and materially lower rates for the use of electricity in the homes; and finally, a complete reorganization and simplification of the most compli- cated and impossible series of con- tracts between the householder and the company which the legal profes- sion has Invented in ell Its history. \I am not going to touch on the leg- ality of these mergers at this time but I am asking the very definite question: \How long will it be before these mat- erial benefits to the householder in the state of New York will become accom- plished, facts?\ .'.'L'.f'g.

The second shop contained improved machinery and equipment. However, within a year, Mr. Shin- bourne rebuilt his business on larger scale, taking in his son, Fred, as a partner, who will now continue the business. Mr. Shinbourne also con- ducted for several years until about 20 years ago a\ tanning and milling establishment.

Helen Stemmer, 17, 325 Spring street, Utica, met her death and her sister, ^lose, 32, was seriously in- jured in an automobile accident at Trout River, north of Malone, late Monday ; afternoon, while returning home from a holiday visit to Canada. Helen Stemmer suffered a fractured skull and died at 4:45 o'clock, two hours after the acldent, in a Malone hospital. Rose Stemmer suffered in- ternal injuries, the extent of which are unknown. She will be confined to the hospital for X-ray investigation. The women were members of a party of six which included Mr. and Mrs. George Martin, the latter mother of the .two injured girls; Carl Stemmer, driver and' owner of the car, and Mr.' and Mrs. Carl Gardner. The party left Utica Saturday for a week>end jaunt to Montreal and other Canadian points. Investigation on part of state troop- ers at Malone shows Stemmer came onto a curve at such speed he was unable to right his car, with the result the rear end swung around as the auto hit a bridge, turned over and was badly wrecked. It is believed Helen -Stemmer was thrown \from the car. None of the other passengers was injured, but suffered from shock and returned home Tuesday. Helen was born in Utica and attend- ed the Kern an school and Utica Free Academy. She resigned from school last year and since that time had been at home. Besides her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Martin, she leaves two sisters and two brothers, Carl, who was driv- ing the car, and Joe, avenue. 524 Kossuth - . 20th Century Club.
