WHY A s,5o. 900 CORNERSTONE

Dublic utilities commission 10 cost
the people of the state possibly sloe,-
am in rrn years has failed TO arouse
public comment while the whole state
has been arguing for months over
proposed highway commission TO cost
one fourth as much and yet regula-
ton of public utilities is a problem in
not more than twenty of our largest
cities with scarcely one-fifth the total
r,opulati ton of the state while the high
way problem affects the interests of
every township and hamlet in the land.
The difference is that people have
feared tina. the highway commission
would encourage larger expenditures
OF tax money while the utilities com
mission is 10 have jurisdiction over
service for which the rates are already
esta blished and are being paid, how
ever, the present taxes spent for roads
and bridges in Iowa are more than
twice as great in money as the total
amount paid by the people Of these
twenty large cities for electric light,
power, gas and street railway service.
The state OF Iowa will never become
predominately an urban state. She has
no great cities now and may never
develop such centers Of population as
exist in Chicago or the cities Of New
York and Ohio. Until her development
brings her to an urban state Iowa
does not have the need of q public
utilities commission that other states
have felt, and there is yet grave doubt
as 10 whether the commission will De
considered the best solution Of the
problem when the time comes for Iowa
to feel the need Of It.
AT any rate a legislature which is
having such distress in giving TO its
state tried and proved legislation for
the permanent improvement cS its
highways, Of vital concern 10 all Of its
people, had better not expend much
needed time and energy upon public
utilities commission Of use only TO
twenty cities and Of interest only to
one person in five Of our population.
The time has not yet arrived for the
people OF our cities to give UP the
statutory power they now enjoy to
regulate their own public utility serv-
ice and when the general average of
states under public utility commits
sions fails TO show rates as low as the
general average in states with local
control there is plenty of occasion to
question the commission plan. What
is needed is publicity. City councils
in our Iowa cities can regulate the To-
cal public service if they can have ac-
cess to the facts as to costs and in
yestment. Let this Legislature provide
that there shall be state system OF
accounting and annual reports as the
railways now make. Give some one,
the state auditor, railway commission
or city clerk authority to examine the
books OF public utility company as
bank examiners now examine the
books of our banks and our city coun-
ellis will regulate within reason be-
cause the appeal to the courts can al
ways stop unreasonable regulation.

A Prayer.

A Prayer.
Oh, to be free as a bird Of the air.
With never sorrow, never care!
To be cheerful all the liveiong day,
To whistle trouble and pain away;
To live for others and not for self,
To keep from merely striving for pelf;
That is happiness, l say!
Oh, to keep seeing the bright side of
life,
To stlun all envy and petty strife:
To willingly help a friend in need,
To be pure in thought and word and
deed.
To benefit those whose lives you touch.
To do some good tho it be not much:
Let this be ever your creed,

THE FIREARMS BILL.

II
A bill restricting the sale of fire.
arms has been reported to the Iowa
house for passage. 1t ought to pass.
It is too easy for thugs to purchase
weapons. The law should specifically
prohibit the sale of knuckles, dirks,
bowie knives and weapons Of that
class. Especially should 1t be made a
crime for any dealer to display
knuckles and weapons Of that charac-
ter in their windows. In every city in
the country, there are window displays
of brass knuckles and other unneces-
sary implements which appeal only to
the thug. Such display is an invita-
ton to do murder and commit rob
berries.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

When the legislators get thru pass
ing laws to compel employers to pay
two dollars day to all girls, to save
them from the necessity of resorting TO
a life of shame they might go a little
further and make another to require
at least an equal compensation for al
men with families to support, to the
end that they be not driven to theft
and robbery and landed in the peniten-
tiary.' says the Sutherland Courier.
We are rot sure that the Register
and Leader has been discreet in its
good roads campaign, but we are sure
that no legislature can justify its own
acts on the ground that its members
had 70 do So and so because any per-
son or newspaper irri,ated them 50
that they couldn't do anything else

ON MAKING MISTAKES.
IRurlington Gazette.l

Everybody makes mistakes, OF
course. The only difference between
you and other people is that they make
more-and certainly more inexcusable
than you do. Sometimes
mistakes are embarrassing. sometimes
they are expensive and sometimes they
are even fatal to one thing or another

SALOON REVENUE NOT NEEDED.

the saloon went out of business. and it
was just as we'll conducted a saloon as
any town ever had. Since the saloon

very first to be represented
1t would probably be unfair to say
that the roads committee has never
