If any legislative committee wants the detailed figures, I'll prove what I say.

I don't want to give the figures now, because I want to keep them to back me up when I go to Albany to get the civil service law repealed.

Don't you think that when I've had my inning, the civil service law will go down, and the people will see that the politicians are all right, and that they ought to have the job of runnin' things when municipal ownership comes?
One thing more about municipal ownership.

If the city owned the railroads, etc., salaries would be sure to go up.

Higher salaries is the cryin' need of the day.
