PROOF or Pnoaes‘nlrv. .
At the end of last April there were
413.605 idle frieght cars on the rail-
roads of the United States. That
means enough to make 10.000 trains.
it would have been possible to have
stretched a solid line of unused cars
from New York to San Francisco.
in May these idle cars were brought
into use at the rate of about 1.000 a
' day. in Jun their number was cut
down to about 2,500 daily. .The rate
of decrease in the stock of unused
cars was only abbut 160 a day in July.
but in August these cars went back to
work at the rate of 2.000 a day in
round figures.
In-the first half of September. the
cutting down of the accumulation of
freight cars on sidings and in railroad
yards was no less than 3.500'a day
Between September 2 and Septembe
16. the decrease was 50,562. A month
and a bait more of such improvement
' in railroad business would wipe out
practically the entire surplus of cars.
After two. months of such changes
there would be a shortage. once more.
-, as there was before. the panic.
This is an extremely important
proof of better times. it islmposslbie
to doubt that such calls upon the idle
equipment of the railroads mean more
active trade and greater industrial
. prosperity. It tells of a radical change
and premises the speedy restoration of
. normal busines? conditions in all parts
of the country. " ‘
The railways n't increase the
number of wheels hey turn. by tens of
thousands every eek, unless there is
a much quickened. movement of indus.

She will be there to welcome ilie ital-

of the week. It is now expected that
the boat will get away for New Hav-

those only the personal friends of the

publicsna endorsed by the Democratic
caucus . and
credited .with “am out his rt of
the deal! in his appeal to thep'einde-
pendent Voter" this Democratic boss
assures the public with grim humor,
that his ticket is not under ring or
machine control. What a splendid ex-
ample of thier crying stop thief!" And
in this connection you will recall that
the Democratic Council ticket was se-
lected by a committee, the Democratic
been thinking it unwise to leave the
fortune of his deal to the free choice
of an open caucus.
Now a. word about Mr. Dunlop's hold-
ing the once of “Street Commission-
er" under the appointment of a board
:8 councilman of which he is a mem-
er. ‘
Section 24 of the City Charter pro-
videa:
“Neither the Mayor nor any mem-
ber of the council shall receive any
salary or compensation for his servi-
ces except such as may be fixed by the
city at any special meeting called for
that purpose."
The city has never fixed any salary
or compensation under this provision.
An ordinance of the city provides
for the appointment by the Council of
"Street Commissioner" to act under
the orders of the council. and he is to
receive such salary asvtbey may fix.
May the Council appoint one of their
own number to fill this office? I claim
that they cannot do so properly. The
fundametal law on this subject is well
stated by a learned authority in the
following language:
"it is contrary to the policy of the
law for an officer to use his official
appointing power to place himself in
office. so that, even in the absence of
a statutory in hibition. all officers who
have the appointing power are disqual-
ified for appointment to the ofilccs to
which they may appoint."
But independent of the legal objec-
tion. there is a marked impropriety in
Mr. Dunlop’s holding the position of
“Street Commissioner." because ho is
called upon as councilman to pass up-
on his own actions as “Street Commis-
sioner." it will be remembered in
this connection that Mr. Dunlop is also
“Street Committee" of the Council and
as such he must audit and approve his
own bills contracted as “Street Com-
missioner." The other Members of the
council don't know anything as a rule.
about his bills except what he may see
fit' to tell them. And I have been in-
formed that it has been the common
practice of the present council to allow
each member to audit and approve of
all of the bills contracted under his
department. and to order them paid
without as much as reading them to
the board. ,
It is the practice for Mr. Dunlop to
say- to the Council that he wants so
much money for his pay roll, and that
sum is voted to him. and.be deposits
it in his own name, as Street Commit-
tee or Commissioner. and then hires
what help he wants and pays the men-
ey out as an individual would do with
his own funds. 1 don't accuse Mr.
Dunlop of being guilty of graft, but i
do say that his system is an open door
to graft.
The Council have involved them-
selves in a f ther legal difficulty in
connection wi h the appointment of
Mr. Dunlop as Street Commissioner.
He was first appointed to the office
without a. salary. and for a time he
served without pay; but be induced
the Council to fix and vote him a sail
ary of $750. This action on the part
of the Council is contrary to Article
24 of the amendments to the constitu-
tion of the State. which provides.
among other things, that a city shall
not have power to pay or grant any
extra compensation to any public offi-
cer, employee, agent, or servant, to
take effect during his continuance in
office.
Mr. Dunlop's reference to the ap‘
.poifitment of Mr. Scoficld as city as-
sessor while i was Corporation Counsel
and his inference therefrom that l was
in some way responsible, am grot-
thm lHis logic makes the present
Cdrporation Counsel . responsible for
Mr. Dunlop's appointment as Street
Commissioner, but such logic Is to
lame to walk alone.
Let me say to Mr. Dunlop that‘i nev~
or held any office in fhe'clty of South
Norwaik but that of Corporation Coun-
dil. and that l neVer betrayed my par-
.ty.
Ho well knows that i hare not
taken say some part in machine poli-
tics in the city for years. and he gave
as a reason to a friend for voting
against me that i “was down and out
iitlcaliy." So he tried to buckle'to
th machines to aid himself to con—
tinue in onlce. Let the people deter
mine his success. He may. as Lilcoln
once expressed it, succeeded in fooling
all the people some of the time, and
acme of the people all the time, but be
ill not be able to fool all the people
all the time.
