RETAINING POWER On THE SEA

If the present rate of shipbuilding in Ameri-
can yards continues, it seems likely that the
''decadence of Uncle Sans merchant marine
and 'seas over which no American flag floats
will take their place on the shelf along with q
good many other outworn phrases of the Fourth
of July orator and the ship subsidy prepayment.
According to an estimate made by the depart
ment of commerce on April 6, American ship
yards are showing great increase N construc-
ton work. And it is significant to note how
much of this increase is in deep-sea tonnage.
Little growth is shown in the Great Lakes, shio-
building but on the Atlantic coast the Yards arc
merce department report, the output o. Ameri-
can shipyards during the current fiscal year will
be greater than in any previous four years and
equal to the average annual output for any Sc
res of active years of construction, the depart
ment of commerce estimates.
The years construction will reach 100000
tons. During the first nine months this fiscal
year, Lila merchant vessels, tOtaling 260, 265
tons, have been registered, compared with !.051
vessels, and Isl 81 tons the same period last
year. As the spring and early summer is the
time of greatest activity in shipbuilding, it is
figured there will be a 100000 tonnage before
July 1. Steel steamers aggregated 15l ,507 tons,
against 75,5O7 tons last year.
Shipbuilding on the Great Lakes shows little
change, but the total output on the Atlantic sea
board has increased from 64,522 tons to 161 061
tons. Wooden sailing vessels show a decrease
and form only small fraction, 1871 tons, of
the total for the country

These stations. with four or five
Morgans from the Morgan horse farm
and six Thoroughbreds presented 10
the government, will be available for
public service during the season Of
1918, mailing total of at least A
stations. Local wishes will be re-
spected and the breed of the stallion
placed in community will be that
which is most generally preferred by
that community Accordingly, the
Morgans will stand in Vermont and
New Hampshire, the Theroughhreds
mainly in Virginia, the Saddle horses
and Standardkreds mainly in West
Virginia, .Aentacky and Tennessee.
Furthermore, every effort is to be
made to avoid competing with pri-
vately owned stations, and horses
will not be placed in communities
which are already well supplied.
These horses will be available for
public service on liberal terms. The
owners OF sound mares, with a square
trotting gait, may breed such mares
free OF charge provided they give the
government an option on the foal
during the year 1t is 5 years of age
at $780, However, the government
will not hold the breeder of foal
to his option If he wishes to be re-
leased. but will allow him to cancel
the option at any time by paying the
service fee. This fee will be SIS for
mature stations, and less for those

recent editorial article in the Saturday
ably under the heading of Natural MonOpo-
lie:
"Twentyfivc years ago American cities still
believed in competing public utilities. 1t was
thought desirable for a city to have two or three
gas and electric-light and even streetcar com
papies, on the theory that competition among
them would keep prices down. Nobody nova
days believes in competition in those things, and
advocates of competition as universal regula-
tor seek to except certain things from the gen
eral rule by calling them natural mOnopOlies-
a phrase which means mainly that the waste of
competition and the benefit of concentration
have been indisputably proved by experienceain
this particular field
"Practically the whole country Of late years
has come to regard railroad transportation as
Ianother natural monopoly. Everybody knows
that for years there has been no competition
among railroads as to rates, which are fixed at
a uniform schedule by agreement among the
roads. This is contrary to law, as the supreme
court has so far interpreted the Sherman act;
but no one seeks to prevent it because everyone
realizes that actual rate competition among the
roads would be a calamity. The government it
self, though attacking industrial combinations
right and left, makes no attempt to force the
railroads into rate competition. 1t seeks merely
to see that the rates which have been agreed
upon shall be reasonable, and with that the pub
lie is content Both as to railroads and public
utilities, combination and cooperation are uni
versally regarded as natural and beneficial.
ut is only in manufacturing and merchan-
Idising that concentration is regarded as unnat-
ural and baneful; but in those fields, as Presi-
dent Van Hise, Of Wisconsin University, has
|pointed out with much detail, competition, in
fact, is breaking down Our purefood laws, for
example, are an abandonment of the old theory
that competition among manufacturers will Sc
cure to the consumer the best possible goods at
the lowest possible price Ill.,.
every one will presently realize that conbi-
nation and cooperation may be as useful and
natural elsewhere as in gas-manufacturing, cleo
trio lighting and railroading."

A GOOD UTILITIES COMMISSION IN SIGHT

A public utilities commissOn-a commission
that is neither a joke nor BURDENS in sight.
The two bills just introduced in house and
senate and written largely by Governor Frear
furnish the solution for puzzIing problem the
problem of getting commission armed with
enough powers to make its work effective and
not weighed down with duties and hampered
with red tape and intricate responsibilities until
1t is unwieldy and financial load for the terri
tory to carry.
The latest bill does away with the greatest
Weaknesses of the Baldwin bill and is much sim
pier and more effective than the Rice or Metz
ger measures. 1t ptovides commission one of
whose members will be the we'll paid public SER
vice expert, and the other two members will be if
desirable officials of the territory. The'expenSes
of the commission will not be paid by the terri
tory but by the imposition of fee on the public
service corporations so slight that individually
1t is hardly more than nominal but in the aggre-
gate will provide about SIS, 900 year revenue.
The commission, if the bill and some proposed
amendments pass, will have real instead of myth
ical jurisdiction over public service corpora
TONS 1t can inquire into complaints; it will
be financially equipped to make thorough inves-
LEGATIONS of corporations and to recommend i'm
provements, extensions or changes in rates. 1t
will have some power of rate regulation At the
same time, the work of the commission will not
interfere with the federal laws governing these
territorial. franchises.
In fact the bill looks like good compromise.
The Star Bulletin repeats that the Baldwin bill
is ineffective and the Rice and Metzger bills are
unwieldy Neither of the two latter, it seems
certain, could pass the house at this session any
S way.
There is no reason why the latest form of bill,
which gives the commission teeth and claws and
does not hang a milestone around its neck,
should not pass Some slight amendments will
probably be necessary but we should say, after
a comparatively short examination of the meas
ure, that it is well worth passing.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-04-14

With the passage of an adequate public util-
tiles act, the way will be clear for the recogni-
ton of the system of the regulated monopoly as
against free and unrestricted competition in
public service corporations. The validity of this
principle is now well-established in many cities
and states ~. ...# ..- +
In fact, it is stated on good authority that
many public utilities commissions decline to
sanction competition among such corporations,
bitter experience having taught the public that
a monopoly thoroughly regulated, controlled as
to rates and service, is far better than competing
corporations wrich wreck themselves in newt
able business rivalry and cutting rates to 'drive
the other fellow out"
With first-class public service commission
in this territory, having accepted control and SUI
neryision of utilities, it is far better from every
standpoint for Honolulu and other cities to have
Int one street railway system, but one electric
LIGHT company, but one gas company, but one
telephone company. duplication of utilities is
wastefuI, expensive, inefficient ...
The territory needs strong public commits
