LATIMER BECOMES CHAIRMAN.
Doath o.f Senator Mallory Puts I?im
at Hoad of Senate Committee.
Through the death of Senator Mallory,
of Florida, who was chairman of
the senate committee 0:1 corporations
in the District of Columbia, South
Carolina gets another chairmanship,
this place going t-o Senator Latinier.
The junior senaDor from South CarN
olina is now the ranking democratic
member of the committee, and, as
stated, goes to the head of .fire committee
through the death of Senator
Mallory.
This is probably the only committee
in the senate which the republicans
give to tihe democrats by allowf
ing tliean to name one of their numbe:*
as its chairman, an'd while it is not
considered of any great importance
. to be its head, it means something
| for a man of energy for the reason
that through it' a considerable amount
of legitimate advertising may be
done.
It is not expected (hat as the chairman
of the new committee, Senator
Latimer will revolutionize the corporations
of the Distinct of Columbia, or
disclose any startling sensations. The
best that can be done is to watch the
public franchises of the district, t'hvs
street railroads, electric Light companies,
water companies, gas works
and other public utilities.
For many years the people of
Washington have begged pitoous'ly
for relieif from the heavy assessments
levied against them by public
corporations operating in the district,
especially the gas company, from
whose clutch'es they are now making
a hard fight to escape. It may be
possible for Senator Latimer, through
the means of the corporation chairmanship,
to put an end to legalized
gouging.
Another way in which the influence
of tire junior senator may be felt, is
in the operation and control of the
street car lines of Washington.
Throughout the United States tlierj
is probably not as poor a system of
public transportation lines as is
found in the nation's capital. There
is big room for ?improvement with
thorn, and apparently there is an opportunity
for Senator Latimer to
come to the front in demanding hotter
care of the travelling public.
With the rise of Senator Latimer
to the head of the corporations committee
of the district, South Carolina
lifts two representatives closely identified
with its interest's, Representative
Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville, being
on the committee of the District of
Columbia in the house.
