Will NEED A COMMISSION.

any public officials since the withdrawal OF
- street railway passes have suddenly become
converted 10 the advisabilty of having public
service commission TO regulate the public utilities
OF the State, that fact should not'be permitted to
discredit any reasonable sentiment for commits
sion.
Such public officials, if any have so expressed
themselves, may have desire to hit back az the
company, but such an inclination will probably
soon pass away. Outside of what has appeared
in The Journal there has been no agitation in
favor of public service commission and there
has been something of opposition to it on the
ground that it would result in the useless creation
of Offices to be filled by politicians. But no argu-
ment OF that kind should be allowed to stand in
the way of a commission
Men who have devoted much time to the study
of municipal problems have favored public service
AeommsssitQns. Many states have them; others are
"a have them.
The Business Mems Association of Connecticut
is heading movement for public service COM
mission. The. Republican platform in Ohio de-
clared in favor of such a commission In fact the
agitation is widespread 1t is we'll for Dell are
to consider seriously this matter We shall need
commission sooner or later and, if negle ted he
need may be with when it will be impO isiole
for the legislature at once TO create such com
mission.
During the last few days changes have been
going in the scale of prices to be charged by
the new company which controls the principal
street railway of the city and the electric light
plant. The telephone company is also STANDARD.
izing' its rates.
Both these incidents arc avs showing which
way the wind is blowing. A public service COM
mission to safeguard the interests of the people
should be demanded of the next Legislature.
If the business men do not call for such COM
mission, we believe that they will have reason to
regret their failure TO do so.

Financial Loss Through tuberculosis

Based on the census of 1900. il is
estimated by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention OF Tu-
berculosis that nearly 100. 900 children
now in school will die OF tuberculosis
before they are is years OF age. or
that about 6.4O0 die annually from
this disease. Estimating that on an
average each child who dies OF tuber-
culosis has had six years Of schooling.
the aggregate loss to the country in
wasted education each year amounts
to sl,l52.O00. According to investiga-
tons made in New York. Boston and
Stockholm. the percentage Of children
who are afflicted with tuberculosis is
much larger than the death rate would
indicate.
