Third Attemnt on Life

This is not the first attempt made against the life of Premier Stolypin,
 When he was governor of Saratov in 1905. three shots were fired at him but without effect. On Augusr IS, 1896, bomb was thrown while Stolypin. then premier, was holding a public reception at his country house on Aptekarsky Island. The premier was slightly wounded. Thir- ty two persons were killed and stilI larger number wounded. Among tho latter were tine premier's fifteen year olG Cauehte and his three year old aol.
 At that time there was reign of terror in many parts of Russia.
 When Stolpyin accepted she pre- mlersbip in July, 1906, he was per- fectly conscious of his daugor. Hs remarked at the time:
 CT have no doubt that attemrts VIII De iuGut upt4l ny -A Y uuN AaNP~ that order will be restorci and sta bilay established in Russta before they ale successful"
 Az stoFpine outlined the policy of ahe government it was to b. cns o, strong handed" reform. he very promptly issued circulars to tue pro- vln.ia' authorities, directing them tn snare no effort to prevent Gisiur- hanees. As minister of interior. prior to taking the premiership he was assailed in the Duma in making his first speech, with cries of "mtr- derer" and assassin" when he de- tended the alleged illegal acts of po- lice officials and provincial goyer- nors in the suppression of disorder.
 The retailatory s.eps, which ne took against the terrorists and libers als alike won him the detestation of sha advanced parties, and the support of the administration.
 'sStelypins neckTs," became the synonym for the hangman's moose. throughout Russia. He quarreied freouentiy with the Duma and was victorious in his disputes with that body. owing to the confidence which the emperor reposed in him.
 Stolpyin resigned as premier and minister of interior March 20 of this year, but three days later reconsld- cred his action.
 The resignation was presented be- cause the council of the empire re- jected his Zemstox bill and 1t was an nounced that the emperor had ac- cepted appointing M. Kokovioff. min- ister of finance to fill the premier ship.
 Later, however, 1t was learned mat the emperor had used his personal influence to retain Stolpyin in office.

 "The subject of service is closely related to that of rates. Like rates just determination of what oonsti- tutes reasonably adequate service in
 any given lcase depends primarily upon a correct valuation of the u.il- | fly and satisfactory system of cost accounting. In addition, 1t requires an inspectiona staff. Gas, electric water and telephone service have re- ceiyed special attention at the hands of the Wisconsin Commission and requirements as to them have beer ! standardized, These standards so far as gas and electric service are concerned were embodied in a set of rules adopted only after a most careful survey of actual conditions, both within the s.ate and throughout rhe country They cover such mat ters as the heating value and purity of gas, voltage. care of lamps, ac- curacy ca meters. disturbance Tn electric circuits and similar matters. Immediately af.er the promulgation of these rules there was a marked
 improvement in the character of service.
 "In striking contrast to lubrious forecasts stand the actual results of commission control. Most emphati- cally has it been a good thing, not only for the public but for the util- ities also. The public has made an immense financial gain; just how much it is difficult to state with en- tire accuracy for many ordelF of the Commission concerning rates lowered some and raised others. But it has been conservative'y estimat eI that in the matter of freight rates alone there has been an average an nual saving of at least s1,200,00O; in passenger fares of not less than sS00.000, and in other forms of pub- Mc seyyics proportionately large amount. This, of course, is not all clear gain.
 Lower rates have been followed ny ar actual increase in reveltca
 As evidence of this prosperity the las annual report of the Wisconsin commission shows that au-ms the year the operating revenues O. olec- tic utilities increased 10 Der cent. their net income 20 per cent and new ccrslruc;ich for the yea, 145 per cent.
