Company. Over half million a year is paid in dividends upon this $15 00O.- 900 of stock. It makes very little diff ference whether this half million dol lars comes out of the pockets of the people who ride on the cars on the Connecticut Railway & Lighting Com pany's system, or whether it comes out of the pockets of the stockhold- CTS iii the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company.

Whether or not un- fair rates actually exist in the State, this obligation to furnish service at reasonable rates should be enforcible. The fact that few men become bur glars is no argument against provid- ing laws to prevent burglaries, and the fact that few public service cor porations violate their legal Ob1iga- tions is equally no argument against providing laws to meke such obliga- tiens enforcible.
