The very fact of an self should go. the boroughs entire, its responsi It can be held readily accountable at the polls. _ Now, while popular feeling over recent “hold-up” scandals is high, | the blow for better New York government should be'struck. With neither reputation nor usefulness left, the Board of Aldermen should go! MORE FRUITS OF A VICTORY. _ The Evening World's long and persistent fight for pure milk for the ren of the tenements has had another vastly good result. Health Commissioner Darlington makes to-day the welcome an- cement that three of the important railroads have agreed to bring all ‘their milk to New York this summer in refrigerator cars, with every cas “packed in ice, The other roads will do the same, and the milk will be ept cold until it is delivered to the retail dealers. This will do away with the main excuse of the milk embalmers— that the milk is not delivered in a condition to be sold without “doctoring.” In connection with a more careful inspection, and the punishment by heavy fines and imprisonment fof dealers caught selling adulterated or di- Tuted milk, these measures will prove a great blessing to the children of “the poor. In their name The Evening World thanks the Health De pent for its determined efforts to end the “slaughter of the innocent TURN ON THE SEARCHLIGHT. Ni The scandalous misuse of the funds of the Equitable Life Assurance “(Society demands a searching and public investigation. No “compromise” of warring factions, no sacrifice of a scapegoat, ho perfunctory action by a State Commissioner who has permitted this Scandal to exist in secret for years past, will suffice, gation by a committee of the Legislature is demanded in the interest of public morality no less than in the interest of policy-holders, If high officers of the Equitable Company have been permitted to * squander its funds on personal pleasures or public displays, let the fact If directors of high personal and business standing have _. Profited unduly and unlawfully through a use of the company’s funds, let that fact be known, Nowhere is “high finance and low rhorality” so disgraceful and so Wangerous as in the management of great corporations chartered and commissioned to insure hundreds of thousands of families against want. 10,000,000 sarphis under the control of a Yeather-brained young man, or even subject to the disposition of a ‘“con- servative” Board of Directors, many of them mere “dummies,” and ‘all engaged in money-making for themselves, is a wrong and a scandal. | Either the insured have been charged too much or policy-holders entitled | to share in the profits have been and are deprived of their just dues. | In any event, the matter has gone too far to be “hushed up.’ Noth- Ing less than the full blaze of the Searchlight of Publicity will serve the public and individual interests involved. CUT THEM OUT! Not merely its power over franchises but the Board of Aldermen This is why the bills at Albany stop short of the mark. They should be measures of amendment by abolition. For the last half century the council of “city fathers’ has come to Stand more and more in the public eye as a body chiefly constituted for ‘the collection of “graft” and the proportionate distribution of favors. 4s farcical to call it longer an assembly representative and deliberative. New York has in the Board of Estimate and Apportionment a sub- Btitute for the Board of Aldermen ready provided, numbers but representative in a large sense, Standing for the city and ity is not bounded by narrow district THE GAS TRUST UNDER THE PROBE, It is a binding confession when the Consolidated Gas Company Protests against the value of its franchises as assessed by the State ‘T’a3 ‘Commission on the ground that many of these franchises are no longer existent, and that therefore taxes cannot legally be levied upon them, This fact, taken in connection with the official records produced before the special gas committee, confirms the statements repeatedly tmade by The Evening World that the monopoly of the Consolidated ‘Gas Company can be terminated at any time by the public authorities. It appears that of the vast capitalization of the Consolidated Gas Company only a minor fraction is represented by its real estate, plants and tangible property. A great part comes from the successive inflations of its capital to turn into dividend-paying securities the franchise rights twhich it exercises but does not own, Even with these successive inflations, which have brought up its tapital to three times its tangible assets, the profits on its trebly watered ‘tock were so large that it accumulated a large surplus, invested in United States and New York City bonds, which was to be cut up as “pie” for the stockholders after it had secured legislation confirming its expired The special gas committee, under the able guidance of Counsel | Hughes and the firm rulings of Chairman Stevens, is bringing out dis ) tinctly facts well known to “high” financiers, accurately to the public. This watered capitalization and ihe large protits | upon it are an indication of the low prices at which gas and elec! sf ¢an be profitably supplied, They are likewise a revelation of the extent ‘of the extortion and robbery of which consumers have been the victims.
