public service companies and power

There is marked progress toward

service companies generally, electric

Financial Specialization.
''In part. this is due to specialization
by financial houses IN given lines Of in
vestment; in part to the common en-
ployment of certain eminent engineer
ing firms: and in part to relations with
certain leading equipment companies
Electric equipment is usually supplied
by one of a few great equipment con-
Germs and frequently paid for, at least
in part, In the securities Of the pro-
posed project.
Take a single example, the General
Electric company, which Is the most
powerful electric equipment concern in
the world. Men who are officers or
directors Of the General Electric CON-
subsidiary companies, are also officers
or directors in many other corpora
tions. These other companies, with
their subsidiaries, and with the General
Electric and its subsidiaries, make thus
group interconnected by active per-
sonal and financial relationship. This
one group includes % corporations that
operate hydro electric plants, with at
least $4,000 horsepower developed or
under construction, and 500, 900 unde-
velOped in 10 different states, a total of
1895, 900 horse power equal to more
than 25 percent of all the developed
water power in the United States in

Touching regulation, Mr.. Smith said
that it will depend mainly upon con-
stitutional limitations. "A state" he
continued, can at any time exercise a
high degree of control over power COM
panies as quasi-public servants. Some
hold that the federal government, in
exercising its arbitrary power as
grantor, may also impose any further
conditions IL chooses upon such grant,
as. for example. that the grantees shall

Pennsylvania, known as Ringdale, had
a fight with two huge balo eagles for
his life, and he will carry the marks
of their talons to the grave. He was
returning home from school when two
eagles swooped down upon him, knock
ing him down and attacking him
with great fury. They repeatedly
sank their talons in his shoulders and
tried to carry him away. The boy
fought pluckily and, getting hold Of
a club, resisted the birds SO sturdily
that they abandoned the attempt and
