hears the evidence but Is not required
to prepare the cases. The idea is that
the attorney, for the board should be
charged with the preparation OF the
cases so that when they are presented
to the board, they shall be in such
shape that will enable an intelligent
and accurate consideration of all the
points involved. The idea of making
the board public utilities commission
expands their powers very greatly and
would naturally add largely to their
duties, hence, it is believed that it will
be necessary to increase the member
saip of the board and also provide that
they devote their entire time to the
work.
Gov. Garst's recommendations.
In his message Governor Garst rec
ommends an increase of salary to 3d.
800 per year to the members of the
commission. 1t is understood that
bills already have been prepared Gov
e(lng these features in accordance
/, with the provisions autlined above and
they will undoubtedly be presented
early in the session. The intimation
that these measures are in preparation
has caused considerable discussion
among not only the members of the
legislature but also the members of
Z the railroad commission. The trend
OF opinion seems to be that some such
measure. as suggested will likely be
passed by the General Assembly, but
there seems to be some objection to
making the board an appointed one. 1t
is urged that the original law Great
ing a railroad commission provided
that members should be appointed, but
that after short time it was amend.
ed so that the commissioners were
elected by the people. 1t is said that
the new scheme would work limita
tion of the participation of the people
in the selection of very important
department of the state government
For this reason it is possible that that
par at least Of the scheme may fail,
when the bill comes up for final con.
sideration.
The scheme for giving commission
authority in regard to the public util
tiles of the state seems to meet with
considerable favor among those who
have considered the proposition 1t
will be, however, quite an innovation
ana promises to attract much atten.
tion during the progress Of this SEES.
