Reasonable Rate and Profit.

In the arguments the Question of rea-
sonable rate and reason able profit to
capital was interjected a. the burning
problem of economics by representatives
of the hydro-electric corpcf ations.
Mr.. Fisher declared that. in the gov
e nment regulation, it world be impos-
sible to fix the maximum price for hydro
electric power as a reasonable rte In
conceding to the genera desire for regu-
lation by state commission. he proposed
to set no contract rate, as matter Tor
state supervision. and would mere re-
qui that the grantee nf the water
power should agree to submit to rea-
sonable rate by local reg 'sation. 'Rea-
sonable." he said, was the only word that
the development Of the economic situa-
ton at this moment would justify being
written into the government grant.
II was for the state con- mission. with
the right theory of the duties OF util-
tiles commiss on and properly constituted
as to its personne. to decide what was
reasonable rate. Mr.. Fisher declared that
none of the constitutional rights OF the
corporations would be taken away from
them.
The conference probably will consume
tomorrow and Thursday. It is expected
to result in recommendations to Congress
and the California state legislature for
definite legislation.

also that real men would be elected 20
