Public Service Bill,

Sen. Tuliy Scott's public service
commission bill is drafted upon the
bill which Governor Hughes so effec-
lively put through the New York Leg
islatura.
1t also contains the new additions to
be made this year by Governor Hughes,
regulating telephone, telegraph, gas,
electric and water corporations, modi-
fled to serve local conditions.
The railroad commission is made
part of board of five persons, and
will serve until their terms expire.
Each member will serve six years and
will be appointed by the governor
The commission will appoint pub
lie service commission, who shall re-
ceive salary of $4,000 year and
counsel at $4,000 year. The counsel
shall appoint an assistant at salary
of $4,000 year. In addition the COM
mission shall appoint clerks, assist
ants and inspectors.
No person c>n serve on the board or
in its employ who is connected in any
way with corporation which comes
under the provisions of the act, and no
one connected with the commission
shall acquire any corporation interest
or stock while serving.
The railroad law is largely included
in the bill. The general law applicable
to allac--'prations coming under the
provision, Including railroads, street
railways, common carriers, gas, cleo
trio, water, telegraph and telephone
companies, is that the commission
shall Regulate all rates and schedules,
order change OF them, and of property

or good. 1t may order railroad to
move its station, or terminal, build
switches or remove them, replace
track or equipment, and may order
change Of equipment and plants of the
other corporations. The books of all
shall be open to inspection, regular re-
ports must be made, testimony in
cases of investigation Of accidents
must be given, and no corporation
shall be excused on the ground that it
would incriminate itself. But such eyi.
dence shall not be used against per
sons or corporations in damage suits.
All transfers of stocks and bonds
must laeet the approval of the board
OF commissioners before becoming le
gal, ur.ess purely a transfer for COL
lateral security. Franchises not util.
lied by the holder, or parts of them
not used, may be demanded by the
state through the courts. A shipper
may demand sidetrack or switch
and get it II his business justifies.
Municipal water, gas or electric plants
must make regular reports and are
subject to investigation. The commits.
sion will fix the standard of quality
of gas and water, the purity and pres.
sure of gas, current and lamps used
by electric companies. Variations from
these standerds will cause the service
to be suspended. Provisions are made
by which consumers of these utilities
or patrons of the telephone and tele-
graph can secure an investigation upon
petition.

Care Of the Eyes.
COLORADO

II Is always essential to remember
that the eyes. like any other part of
the body. get tired. and they require
rest from time to time Make it a point
to see that this rest Is given them. II

hours, let her jealousy guard the need
cd respite before any further close ap-
plication be attempted Bathing the
eyes in lukewarm water is very com
forting after a strain. 1t is also well
to bathe the eyes In lukewarm water
as soon as possible after arising. Avoid
close work with the eyes before break
fast. Be careful not to indulge the
habit of getting the work too near the
eyes, See that you keep an erect pos
ture and that the natural distance is
preserved: II there be difficulty in pre-
serving 1t, the eyes need attention 1t
is wrong to use the eyes in a cross

Less friction than that which
has been engendered between the
United States and Japan has
eventually led to war. and history
is replete with examples of this
kind. Sooner or later clash
will occur between these two

gance and pride of proves in the
triumph over Russia the japanese
seem imbucd with the idea that
their demands must be acceded
to, regardless OF the inherent
rights of domain and property
belonging to other nations.

better for this whole country had
stricter laws been enacted eXclud-

Are the people aware that
about 80 per cent of the business
of the world is done on instru~
ments of credit : Stocks and
bonds, notes, drafts. checks, due
bills, certificates, orders, and
open book accounts are all the
instruments of credit. To be in
good credit standing means that
you have integrity, character,
and q desire to pay your bills
promptly when they come due.
1t means trustiworthiness, that
you will not quibble over tribes
If you buy a horse or COW ard do
not pay the cash for it, then you
are in the sellers credit. II you
did not have integrity Of charac-
ter, he would not have sold it to
you. The Government Of the
United States is in good credit
for the reason that the people
have found it Trustworthy in
every respect. This is true Of
many railroads, and many states
and counties whose instruments
of credit are eagerly sought af-
ter. Good credit is also honesty.
You have all heard of counties
that have repudiated their bonds.
This is dishonesty gone to seed.
Promptness in meeting your OBJ
legations is q sure road to good
credit. The is more credit in
prosperity than there is ready
cash. The cor1bined obligations
of all the people constitute the
80 per cent of the business Of the
world, and is what composes the
credit structure, 50 necessary to
prosperity. You are invited to
call at the First Nationsl Bank
of Challis where it makes Z bust
ness of extending credit to al
who are worthy of it. Remem-
Der credit is as good as cash.
Money to loan in large or small
amounts. Accounts received and
check books delivered to you to
pay your bills in this way.
Interest paid on time deposits.
