SUMMARY OF CALIFORNIA;
PUBLIC UTILITIES LAW
An Effective Law for the Protection of the Public and
Operators that is Highly Endorsed
By Best Authority.

In December Of last year the
state of California passed a pub
lie utilities act which has attract
ed a great deal of attention be-
cause of the thoroughness with
which it covers the subject. AS
the question is likely to come to
the front in this state we give be-
low an outline covering the main
provisions of the law.
The term public utility is
defined in the act as including
every common carrier, pipe line
corporation, gas corporation, cleo
trical corporation, telephone cor
poration, telegraph corporation,
water corporation, wharfinger and
warehouseman.' The term ICON
mon carrier" is further defined
as including every railroad cor
poration, street railroad corpora
ton, express corporation, dis
patch, sleeping car, dining car,
drawing room ear, freight, freight
line, refrigerator, oil, stock, fruit,
car leaning, car renting, ear load
ing and verge othr cae corpora
tion or person, their lessees, trus-
tees, receivers or trustees, receiv-
ers or trustees appointed by any
court whatsoever, operating for
compensation within this state, y
also ANY vessels regularly en-
gagged in the transportation of
persons or property for compensa
ton upon the waters of this state
or upon the high seas, over reg
ular routes between points within
this state. +"
The commission is composed of
five members who receive a sal
airy of $1,000 a year and hold of
flee for six years. The commits
sion is clothed with large author
ity for the work necessary in the
discharge of their functions.
Section 13 provides:
"Sec. 13. (a) All charges made
demanded or received by any pub
lie utility, or by any two or more
public utilities, for any service
rendered or to be rendered shall
be just and reasonable. Every
unjust or unreasonable charge
made, demanded or received fol
such product or commodity OF
service is hereby prohibited and
declared unlawful.
"b) Every public utility shall

and as shall be in all respects
adequate, efficient, just and rea-
sonable.

dorf, in Berlin today. IT is said that

DEFEAT BORAH BILL
Special 10 The Tribune.

Special 10 inc IrlDu1e.
WASHINGTON, Feb 17.-Secretary
Fisher OF the interior department has
supplemented his oral testimony given
before the house public lands committee
against the Borah-JoneS bill to reduce
the term OF a homestead entry to three
years by n written report which reached
the committee TODAY. The secretary says
In his report: THE proposed bill, If
passed. would lead TO summer excursions
on the part OF those who desire lands for
speculative purposes and not for lands
upon which TO build homes. The bona flde
settler who desires land upon which 10
build a home would suffer II the bill
should become a law. for the land ne
seeks would be taken uD by the specula-
tor, to whom the settler would have to
pay money, either I'm the purchase of the
land when patented or In securing the
abandonment of the claim so that he
might have an opportunity 20 file on
It."
The secretary recommends that the re-
naming vacant public lands be classl-
fled and lands not agricultural in char
acter should not be entered under the
homestead law. He advocates moro def
mite requirements in regard to improve
ments on homesteads and says that the
Borah-Joncs bill is copied from The more
leuient provisions of the Canadian home
stead law, while IT. omlts the restrictive
features OF that law,
The opposition OF Secretary Fisher. n
is believer Will serve TO prevent the bill
from passing the house.
