PROPOSED UTILITY BILL
SHOWN IN TRUE LIGHT

lnent attorney OF Denver on the
proposed Public Utility Bill and
should receive the serious consid-
Grafton of every voter in the state
of Colorado. The letter reads as
follows;
Denver, Colo, October Is, 1912
80. n. Hilton, Esq.
Salt Lake City, Utah.
my dear Judge:
II called at your office this
morning and was disappointed to
learn that you were in Salt Lake.
"The proposed Public Utility
Bill being promoted by the Den
yer Trades and Labor Association,
for which Mr.. Cohen is working,
reveals on careful examination that
it is a most damnable corporation
cinch bill from start to finish.
Aside from the provisions of the
provisions of the Act, which are
copied from the provisions of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
Act and relate to railroads. the Bill
is rankly in favor of every street
railroad, gas, water, telephone,
electric light, steam heating, and
every other public utility doing
business in the State.
81. Although promoted by a
labor organization, there is not a
syllable in it from cover to cover
that even purports to fix a mimi
mum wage or hours of labor, or
prohibit the employment of child
labor, etc.
THE only thing that l can see
is that one of the commissioners is
to be mechanic. On the contrary,
the Bill refers frequently to divi-
dends for stockholders, etc.
~. The right of local self-gov-
eminent of every city and town in
the State is sought to be taken
away and vested in board of three
commissioners whose office is
located in Denver. No extension
of any gas main, water main, or of
any other public utility can be
made without the company makes
an application for a permit from
the commission. IL the company
fails to make the application, it
takes twenty-five citizens, or the
mayor, or a majority of the City
Council to file complaint before
the commission to compel the util-
ity company to make the extern
sion.
"3. AS to the force and effect
of the permits granted by the COM
mission, there is no limitation. |
am strongly of the present i'm
preston that the permits granted
by the commission under this Act
would be treated by the Supreme
Court of the United States accord
ing to decisions made on the same
matters in other states, as irrevoc-
able and perpetual contracts which
could not be impaired or repealed.
81. The Act prohibits any
other public utility company from
coming in to do business in any
city or town where there is already
one company engaged in that line
of business ready and willing to
continue to do business in such
city and town.
20. 1t expressly authorizes the
purchase and holding of stock by
any one company of all the stocks
of all other companies engaged in
the same line of business in the
State of Colorado.
IS. Publicity is done away
with. There is no regulation that
the hearings of the commission
shall be open to the public. IN tha

The Conceit of Age.

Nor is it worth while to remind
her that other people have Just az
good. a right to their own code of
ethics and conduct az she has, and
that she holds no divine commits
sion to go around reforming the
world, and forcing other people to
measure up to her little narrow
inch rule.
Colossal self-conceit is one of the
unlovely characteristics of age that
only the biggest and broadcast
minded people escape. BY the time
a woman has admired herself for
sixty odd years vanity becomes an
incurable disease. BY the time she
has been sure she was exactly right
for half century you could remove
mountain easier than you could
shake her faith in her own infalli-
bility. and her mind is az imper-
vious to the suggestion that she
might be in the wrong as a granite
bowlder is to the prick of q cam
brio needle.
Old people always think they are
Soomons; that their way of doing
things is the only way; their point
of view the only correct one. and
this is what makes it so difficult
for any old man or woman and
especially an old woman, to live in
another persons house.
The old woman quarrels with her
daughter-in-law because the
daughter-in-law doesn't keep house
exactly as she did, and doesn't
bring up her children just as she
brought up hers. and because
daughter-in-law goes out to clubs
when she never did, or wears tight
skirts when She wore hoop skirts
or she uses the best china every
day when she always kept hers
under lock ana key. and brought if
out only on state occasions.

"A her son, whose wife's mother

Both the son and his wife did all

An Appeal,

Now | am not going to express a
definite opinion on the question as
to who really did write the great
est masterpieces that English liter
allure can boast. but | am going to
make an appeal fOl a concerted eff
fort by competent scholars, to clear
up the mystery. There are many
who think that an exploration of
the Shakespeare tomb at Stratford
might cast great deal Of light
upon it. Why, then, should not
such an exploration be made? To
speak of proclamation" in such
case is in itself a PROCLAMATION.
Others are of opinion that a more
thorough search than private means
have yet rendered possible of the
innumerable repositories Of books,
pamphlets, manuscripts, letters. etc.
which exist in England and else
where might have surprising re-
suits. Many discoveries bearing
more or less upon the subject in
controversy, have already been
made in unexpected places, one of
them in London. only two or three
years ago.
What is needed is ORGANIZA-
TfON and MONEY. and the world
at large would. surely. be as much
interested in knowing who the will
liam Shakespeare" whom it has been
taught to revere as the foremost of
all its geniuses really was, as in
knowing the character of the ice
covering the south pole.
