PERSONS in Madison who are in touch
with the public pulse are speedily be-

problems to be taken up by the next
legislature is public control Of privately
owned public utilities. No doubt is ex-
pressed as to the need of regulation.
Public service corporations are admit

people. Irrespective Of whether fran

the public or not, the people should be
taken into the confidence of these cor

privilege, which is at all times present

alone considered sufficient to warrant
the assertion of the principle. In de-

Senator LaFollette, that railroad prop

that the commission will proceed to

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT under his ex-
ecutive powers will withhold from sale
all public lands that contain coal depos-
its although an amendment proposed
last session by Senator LaFollette pro-
vding for such reservation was voted
down by the senate. But the proposition
that it has been agitated that the presi-
dent IS willing to overstep his authority
a bit to accomplish this object. The coal
areas still remaining under government
control are rather limited and the coal
interests are constantly seeking to seq
regate them from the government and
this is all the more reason why they
should be jealousy guarded.
