LAWS REGULATING PUBLIC
nth lTlEC

All who are directly or Indirectly
Interested IN national and state ar
fairs these days are finding the qucs-
tlon as to how public utilities should
be controlled the most interesting
theme of the hour. The current Is
sue of Reviews OF Reviews has an ar
ticle by II Wisconsin university pro.
fessor on this vital question, which
covers the matter in nn exceptionally
able manner, The cause for the mr.
ticlc In question is tho law which Wis
consin has very recently put on It's
statute books. Tho public utility law
of Wisconsin places vast power In
the railway commission OF that state.
BY the provisions OF the statute every
public utility. except streets, high
ways and bridges, Is brought within
the jurisdiction of the railroad COM
mission. This commission becomes
virtually local government board.
for 1t regulates cities, towns and vii
lagos In their management of these
undertakings. In the future the com
mission Is expected to become even
more powerful, for under its control
Is placed the enormous water power
OF Wisconsin, which. 1t Is believed
will eventually, through electricity
light the streets and houses and fur
nish motive power to operate rail
roads. factories ana possibly even
farms.
To quote from one portion OF the
article:
accompanied by n complete sys-
tenn OF uniform accounting with spe-
cial precaution as to depreciation and
construction accounts. every person
in the state may know Mt the end OF
each fiscal year exactly the rate OF
profit which each company or muni-
cipality has made on its actual prop
crty invested. This is Il protection
both to the corporation and to the
public.
Nearly every state commission
created in other states to regulate
corporations has sooner or later fal-
len under the control of tho corpora.
tions supposed TO he regulated. The
reason appears to lie mainly in the fact
that essential elements OF publicity
have not been required. The com
missions have been able to hide be
hind closed doors.
Even with the power to control
the issues of stocks and bonds tho
commission cannot 20 behind the ex
