The Presidi it stated that the ef-

establish power in the Joint Commit-
tee on Printing to determine what

shall give to the country.
“I regard the provision in ques-
tion as a violation of the province
of the Executive and calculated to re-
sult in unwarranted interference in
the process of good government, pro-
ducing confusion, irritation and dis-
trust,” the President stated in his
Veto message.
The President declared there is
"‘an increasing disposition to restrict
’the executive departments in the ex- •
ercise of purely administrative func- ■
tions.” He pointed out other acts of
Congress recently with regard to pub-
lie printing and public grounds and
stated that these were administrative
matters, but that he had been willing
to overlook them for the time being.

AUSTIN. May 14.—A bullet from
declaring^ for. bght ^beer and wine. ' a ma<.hine Kuni whjch was ^,^5 ex.
J hibited by Kelly field aviators, and
which was thought not to be loaded,
narrowly missed a young woman who
was in a crowd of spectators. The
bullet passed through the windshield
of an automobile and finally lodged
against the wall of the Travis County-
Court House.
Opinion was expressed that some-
one, other than the aviators, had plac-
ed the bullet in the machine gun. An
investigation is under way.
Nearly one-third the total wealth
of the country, aside from real es- ;
tate. is invested in public utilities,
says the Saturday Evening Port in
a recent editorial discussing the util-
ity rate question. “What are com-
monly called public utilities—steam
railroads, electric railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines, electric light and
power plants—were valued by the
census bureau in 1912 at more
twenty-four billion dollars. If you
take out real estate, farm equip-
ment and products and personal
belongings, uch as clothing, furni-
ture, vehicles—these public utilities
account for nearly half the total
wealth of the country.
"In one way or another every ec-
onomic activity depends upon them.
If they are managed wrongly nobody
can escape the consequences. They
are all under public control."
The public does not want govern-
ment ownership, says the Post, and
that means that these utilities, upon
whose efficiency the sound growth of
the business of the country depends,
must rely upon private capital. If
they cannot attract private capital,
they cannot grow, their service must
become increasingly inadequate with
an increasing handicap on the coun-
try’s industry.
Speaking of the unwillingness of
Public rate-making bodies to increase
•he rates allowed these utilities, the
Post says: “Exceptions must b<
noted. In many localities regulatory
bodies have met the situation with
genuine conservatism. But in many
ethers they have not. Many regula-
tory bodies, like the Interstate Com-
merce Commission formerly, take the
question to be whether a public ser-
vice agency, under private owner-
ship, can scrape through. If it can
probably avoid actual bankruptcy,
they give no relief. But that is not
the real question. Just avoiding act-
ual bankruptcy does not meet the
Situation. If public service compan-
ies are put in a position where it is
nip and tuck between the solvency
■nd insolvency private capital will not
go into them. The harm has been
done.”
“Cant and demagogy will do what
they can to mislead; our scant pro-
fessional proletariat will obstruct as
much as possible; some elected par-
sons will have a haunting fear of be-
ing called friends of plutocracy, but
if private capital is to be our instru-
ment we must give it conditions in
which it will function efficiently—
not the'ifeere breath off .life but as-
surance that legitimate bond interest
will be paid—<
dividend* that
ward of good management."
