The first is that Mr. Meier has

Faced with this changed ironl,
the second, reason for Mr. Meieifa
new emphasis in legislation and
ita administration becomes logi
cal' and Inevitable. In aemanoiug
atA m oners for wide-sweeping
..nrftta and investigations, -Mr,
"Meier assumes a role in which be
' Teels at home. He knows little jof
-Utilities, complicates. iecnnn;a
and involved as their manage
ment and control Is. -He knows
much o the practical business iof
running an institution efficiently
and for less outlay taaa others
could do the Job. ; 1
I Thus when Mr. Meier propose
to cut costs in government,, the
great rank and file of legislators
feci he is on familiar gronnd
They would humor him and'hooe
lor the best hi his utility pro
gram;, they believe in him i when
he strikes out for economy.
! They know Meier does not de
pend onthe $7509 or $1500 gov
ern orV annual salary for his ex
istence. They know that his e
, pnnditures tor the campaign
were huge outlays of cash; not
entangling pre-election - promises
to close his eyes to things he saw
once elected. They know he has
the self-assertion, tha well-ni$h
autocratic courage to speak ot
in meeting and fear no critic.
