Wider Range of InveStiga-
ton Now Planned By
Senate Committee.
THOROUGH REFORM
WILL BE ADVOCATED
Brown and Colleagues Now Plan
Change In Original
Resolution.

Out of washington's fight for control
Of its gas monopoly is likely 20 develop
nothing less than a model code for the
regulation OF Government and municipal
franchise corporations.
This is the large purpose which Sen
ator Brown Of Nebraska and other mem
bers Of the Committee on Corporations
organized in the District OF Columbia
have in their minds. When Senator
Brown introduced his resolution inQuir-
ing Of the Attorney General as 10 the
legality OF the present capitalization Of
the gas companies. and as 70 their au-
thOrity for increasing their capitalize
ton. he had no such large purpose in
contemplation. But his investigation OF
the financial and legislative history of
the gas companies, TO gether with infor-
matiCn that had come TO him concerning
other public service corporations in
washington have convinced him that a
much larger piece OF work is demanding
the attention Of Congress
Doubts Removed.
Thus far Senator Brown has devoted
himself chiefly to acquiring a thorough
familiarity with the affairs OF the gas
company. He said today that his in
vestigations had ended all possibility OF
doubt in his own mind about the neces-
sity for a thOroUghgoing reform and
some constructive legislation TO regulate
the relations OF the public service cor
porations 20 the public
Accordingly, Senator Brown and his
colleagues OF the committee are now
contemplating a meeting at an early
date for the purpose Of modifying the
original Brown resolution, and asking
the Senate 10 authorize such an invesgi-
CATION as VIII enable them 10 go into
the entire subject in an exhaustive way.
1t Is, OF course, recognized nova
days" said Senator Brown, that the
public has the very largest concern
about the capitalization and business
methods OF these corporations j have
gone fa- enough to know that right
here in Washington there Is urgent need
for early attention TO the whole matter.
Wants Model Code.
CONGRESS ought 10 provide for Wash
'fnGton q modern and enlightened code
for the government Of public service
corporations. that would represent the
best, up-tO-date opinion. and that would
be recognized as a model for the whole
country That is what was attempted
to be done when the child labor bill for
the District of Columbia was passed
There Is vastly more reason for doing
a similar service by providing a model
statute for the control of public utility
concerns.
I'VE had hoped TO have a meeeinG
of the committee today. but II proved
impossible on account Of other engage
ments some Of the members had. How
ever, we viii meet probably before the
end Of this week. and I think the com
mittee VIII take action looking to such
a policy as I have suggested
