ALBANY, N. Y\ Feb. 21—The cor- poration-controlled Assembly. was effec- uvely. smoked out last night when Democratic Leader Palmer called up his resolution to prevent the further de- spoilment of Niagara Fails, The moas- Ure cannot legitimately be regarded as polti¢at in any sense of the word, be- cause it was presented last year by a Republican Senator and was directly In- aspired by the public expressions of Président Roosevelt regarding the necesslty for immediate steps to prevent the ruln of the natural scenic beautles of hot only Niagara Faljs, but the Yel- Vlowstone National Park and other | points of historic and scenic interest, But, for all that, the corporatién Re- publican Assembly ieaders denounced the resolution as a political trick. If it was, it was neatly turned and had the corporations show their true colors, Mr, Palmer called attention to the fact thar | he was simply voicing the sentiments of | Republicans of jntluence by the resolution, buf the ublie an bosses made it appear otherwise, They boasted of proposing legislatinn to in- | crenge the tax on the power companies | now slowly draining Niagara Falls of thelr greatest attraction and defacing the acenery of the falls, Legalizing Despoilment. “That is precisely what I. want to prerenhe. sav Mr. Palmer, “because it ja meroly legitimtilaing the despollment of the falls, By proposing @ tax to do that which is wrong ‘is giving these corporations a vested right to do ay they Mko with the falls, It ts lo prevent the ruin of our greatest national attraction that this resolution is introduced.” "{ share the views of the Republican ident that no corporation should be rmitted to rob Niagara Falls of its uty, whether it puys for it or not, fe What we want Is not taxes, but protec- tion to our most wonderful scenio fea- ture, Let the corponitions provide their own power, and not take it from the people ‘to whom the falls belong. The money We get from the power: com- panies will not restore the magnificence of the falls, if we onoe give these cor- Iporations the right to use it for thelr own selfish purposes, 1s there indecd nothing that the Republican party will not sell? Is there nothing sacred in their view from the Influence of money,” But, in spite of Mr, Palmer's plead- ings, the Republican bosses sent the resolution to the Committee on Federal Relations, which meets about once in a pression, It is, of course, the purpose of the Republisans to kill the resolution because the corporations have willed it, se 6 As a result of the agitation caused by The Evening World's exposures of adul- terated foods a half-dozen bills have been introduced in the Legislature alm- ing to remedy existing conditions, ‘The Agsembly Jast ‘night adopted’ a resolu- thon calliig on the State Health Depart. ment to slate what efforts have heen made to enforce’ the Pure Food law, The Agricultural Department has much mony fo do with ‘the Pure Food law than the.
