physicians, but It seemed that
neither Of them could give me
anything that would instantly
relieve pain. Finally one Of them
told me TO diet on crackers and

starve II out. which I tried and
found that Il gave me more relief

Dp1OTe councils Tor
Il a franchise for an additional
trolley railroad illustrates
one of the weak points in our state
government. namely. insecure safe
guarding of public utilities.
Experience having in many cases
shown the inade1uacy of home rule in
these matters. due to the fact that
when franchise proposition of con-
siderable amount is contemplated. its
sponsors usually plan to rush it
through councils before public discus
sion has had time to crystalline into
"a conservative judgment upon it's nner-
its. it may well be argued that the
state should intervene. and. as in New
York state, where a railway commits
sion compels every new applicant for
a railway charter to show reasonable
cause for the granting of a permit to
go ahead. establish some means of in
quiring iudicially into the public me-
cessity for additional public utilities.
These comments are not directed
especially at the pending proposition,
which is entitled to consideration on
its merits. but they are suggested by
II because at present there is no means
of establishing when an applica ton
for a competitive franchise is genuine
or when it is speculative. A local
body like councils is liable to be sway
ed by prejudice. II it dslikes street

largely as an expression of that dis

in the problem. such. for example. as
the present or prospective need of COM
petition. For, however genuine may
be the intent of applicants for a COM
petitive franchise to invest theI"
money as originally proposed. the
public convenience is not benefited un-
less there is sufficient field for the
Investment tn pay. Ii il doesn't pay,
its projectors will not long carry il:
II will go under the sheriff's hammer
or ne bought i'm by the rival company,
and In either case it will represent
only a useless expense which the COM
munity, in the long run, will have to
pay for.
