PROPOSES REGULATION AND
REASONABLE RATES.
ALL ACCOUNTS PUBLIC
Uniformity of Records Proposed
Power to BE Vested In Railroad
Rate Charges to Be
Fixed on Actual Value of Plant
and not on Water.

Madison, May 10.
The public service corporation reg
ulation bill. which was introduced in
both houses of the legislature yester.
day BY the committees on transpor
tation, is substantially the same bill
in all its provisions as the one re
viewed in this paper a little more
than a week ago. The state railroad
commission is vested with power to
supervise and regulate all public
utilities
All public service corporations are
required to give adequate service at
reasonable rates.
The reasonableness of rates is to
be based upon variation of the
property of the public utility, not
upon earnings or upon capital stock
nor upon the market value of the
stock.
Every public utility, and person, a.
sociation or corporation having con
,duits, subways, poles or other equip
ment on, over or under any street or
highway shall, for a reasonable com
pensation, permit the use of its equip
ment by any other public utility.
Publicity of Accounts.
The bill also provides for absolute
publicity by requiring uniform sys-
TENS OF accounting. The commission
is also given power to fix the stand
ard unit of service.
All future franchises are made in
determinate. All franchises may be
terminated at any time by the mu
nicipality purchasing the property.
municipalities are given the power
to decide upon the character of the
service to be furnished and the exten
sions to be made
The provision to prevent stock wa
tering is taken out of the bill because
it is believed that the provision pro-
viding that the rates charged shall
be based upon the value of the prop
erty and not upon the capital stock,
or the earnings upon the capital
stock, will operate to make it finan
cially impossible to find purchasers
for watered stock of companies sub
ject to regulation which bases the
limitation of earnings upon the act
ual value of the property.
The bill as Introduce is the re-
suit of the work of the best students
of political economy in the university
faculty, the best lawyers in the leg
islature and throughout the country.
In fact this bill has been prepared In
much the same manner in which the
railroad commission law was pre-
pared two years ago under the direc-
ton of Senator Hatten and his COM
mittee on railroads. The subcommft
tee of the assembly committee on
transportation, Assem- 1lymen C. F..
Stout. Theodore Nj. Thomas and d.
G. Coolidge. has given this bill the
major portion of The time during the
last two months. The work of these
men, together with that of some of
the university professors and the
chairmen of the committees. has re-
suited In bin which is believed to
be worthy piece Of legislative work
The public hearings on this bill
are scheduled to begin next Tuesday
in the senate chamber and to continue
until all such interests as desire to
De heard have had an opportunity to
present their views to the committee.

$4,000 vERR|CT
SET ASIDE BY
SUPREME COURT

Today the supreme court set aside a
verdict for $4,000 awarded by a jury
in the superior court to Matte A. r.
Savage widow of William H. Savage,
against the Rhode Island company.
Mr.. Savage was conductor and was
collecting fares on a car that was
crowded. He had to lean from the
running board I'm passing a man and
his head struck an electric lighting
pole and he died in a very short time
The accident occurred Sunday. July
10. 1903. and II was Savage's first trip
alone on the car. The pole with which
Savage collided was somewhat nearer
the track than other poles along that
street. 1t had been in the same posi-
ton at least all that summer.
Defendant brought the case to the
supreme court on five exceptions. At
the trial before the jury the big trac-
ton company raised the question OF
whether PLAINTIFF was ever married to
deceased. While the supreme court
decides against plalntiff on almost
every point. IL declares that there was
sufficient evidence TO justify the jury
In finding I'm her favor on that point.
Judge Parkhurst writes the opinion
in this case. His honor says the con-
ductor, sin the event of a very crowd
ed car, with many people standing
upon the running board. In view OF
the danger of losing hold on being
jolted off the car while in motion, or
In view OF the danger of hitting OBJ
struction near the rail in passing
them, when IL was necessary to pass
around persons so standing. II might
frequently be necessary 70 stop the
car until fares could be safely collect
ed, and the conductor would have
perfect right so to do" Attention is
called TO the failure to show that
the conductor did any looking out for
obstacles.
His honor does not agree with the con-
tention OF the plaintiffs counsel that as
the injured person died from his injury
and so cannot give testimony as to what
he did in the way of due care, or az to
what knowledge he had or what instruc-
tions he received as to the particular dam
ger from which the injury arose, II is as
IL no testimony had been given bearing
upon the question either or contributory
negligence or of assumed risk: and so the
plaintiff Is entitled to the presumption of
due care and OF ignorance OF any extra
ordinary risk. AS there was testimony as
to just how the accident occurred the
above contentious are held valeuless.
Judge Parkhurst in the course Of the
long opinion handed down says Tho
danger from this pole. II any. was either
an obvious risk and so assumed by the
deceased; or else II was non-obvious or
extraordinary, and. II so. II was a mat
ter as to which the deceased was entitled
to special warning and instructions from
the defendant. And, of course, IL Is we'll
settled that in the latter case. the bur-
den OF proof is upon the defendant to
show that proper warning and instruction
was given" The testimony OF the witness
Phillips Is held conclusive that Savage
received proper instructions.
Judge Parkhurst declares that the at
tack OF the plaintiff upon this witness
Phillips. was wholly unwarranted His
testimony is held to be reasonable and
consistent.

In the army and feeling that something
was wrong. but thought II knew the
causes and would seek TO correct them.

which cannot be corrected without ex-
