‘ya ATTACKS ‘IMLLER’S POLICIES ON PUBLIC SERVICE iociasipiaails Says Governor Has Put Water Power Development Back * Where It Started. TROY, N. Y., Oct. 17.—Before a wildly cheering audience of 2, into the Music Hall here, ich Gov. Miller only partly filled eight days ago, former Gov. Smith last night denounced Miller's public service legislation as a ‘‘violation of the fundamental! principle of local con- tfol of home affairs." ‘Then he told his audience the his- tory of water power development in the State, beginning with what he med the haphazard method by which Gov. Hughes in 1907 had been induced to sign away the water power of the St. Lawrence River before he realized what he was doing. He con tinued: “There are two classes of men in the State with totally different ideas om the subject of water power de- Velopment. I belong to the group that believes {n developing this power by the State, under State ownership and State control. I take that position Because I am satisfied it is the only ‘Way the rank and file of the people of the State can get any materia! benefit from the great God-given re- ®ources that belong to themselves. “The other group beneves in long Teases to private corporations for de- velopment by them for profit. Gov || | Miller belongs tn this second grouo, I | and instead of making a forward step ye has really gone backwards and ‘adopted the policy th State prior to the en Statute of 1907 eu Hughes. ‘So that, as a result of Gov. Mil- ler’s water power policy, we find our- gelves back where we commenced. If I admitted uny economy at all during | | Gov. Miller's Administration, I would Be obliged to eay that it was offset a nillion times by the loss to the peo- le of the return from their own prop- erty when handed over to private|| Corporations for profits. “There ure other and equally tm Portunt things in which the people Of the Stafe of New York ure inter geted and which cost them dollars out of their pockets in ways other than by the processes of taxation. What @efense cun the Governor possibly make of his brutal assault upon the rights of the cities to enforce the pro- | | Yisions of their own contracts? “The people of Troy have an ex- ample of what this policy on the pari @f Gov. Miller really means. Under My Administration, the contract be- tween the City of Troy and the tion companies operating in that was respected. “If your Common Council saw fit 0 give relief to the trolley compan! ring the stress and pressure of wa @mes, that’s a matter for the City ef But to take that power trom thy city and leave its people at power and the mercy of a State ageycy {6 a violation of the funda- mental principle of home rule und local control of home affairs t: mobod:¥ can defend and can only be taken @s a move to benefit a few against the wishes and over the heads of the muny. “That i exactly what Gov.
