A JOKE COMMISSION

1t is hardly possible that the senate will con-
slider seriously the passage of public utilities
bill of the kind introduced last Saturday by Sen
at0r Baldwin.
The Baldwin bill is bill without teeth and
without claws weak, puny and entirely made
qnate to cope with the public service corpora
tion problems of the territory of. Hawaii. AS a
matter of fact it should not be called the Bald
win bill at ALL for there is no secret that it was
drawn on behalf of corporation interests. 1t is
the kind of bill favored by the corporation rep
resentatives at the public hearing few days ago,
and evidently is drawn up ON the lines suggested
by these representatives Senator Baldwin is in
Producing it by request, he should not be held
responsible for it, and we doubt if even he can
vote for it as it now stands
The bill provides for public service commits
sion whose powers for4aA. practical purposes are
limited to those set forth in Section u, which
reads as follows: 81.
"Section II. If the board shall beof the opin-
ion that any public utility is violating neglect
ing to comply with any territorial or federal
laws orany provision of its franchise charter, or
articles of association, if any, or that changes,
additions, extensions or repairs are desirable in
its plant or service in order to meet the reason
able convenience and necessity of the public, or
to insure greater safety or security, or that any
rates, fares or charges are unreasonable or I'M
reasonably discriminatory, it shall in writing
Inform the public utility of its conclusions and
Recommendations, shall include the same in it's
annual report, and may also publish the same
in such manner as it may deem WISE
The commission has no power to fix rates, no
power even to follow up its recommendations
with any degree of authority 1t has no power
to prescribe just and proper service, equipment,
facilities or methods. 1t has no power properly
to ascertain the value of the public utilities In
fact, it hasn't any real power at ALL A commits
.sion provided in this way would be joke com
mission There is, of course, the provision that
the commission may give due publicity to its
findings. Publicity is a great weapon, it is true,
and we hope it is going to be great enough in
this case to kill the bill under discussion but
a commission armed only with publicity would
not be feared or respected by corporations bent
on amassing big profits.
At the public hearing on the utilities commits
sion. good deal was said of the Massachusetts
commission and a good deal of favor was shown
the Massachusetts plan by those who spoke rep
resenting the corporation and business interests
Now it might be Of interest to the public to know
lust what lfas been happening to the Massachu-
setts plan Perhaps the most authoritative work
on public utilities is that complied in California

Let's see: If President Wilson's sugar-tariff
revision plan goes into effect, there will be a
twenty-five per cent cut on sugar duties for the
next three years, Then free sugar will become
effective. That will be about July 1, 1916-four
months before the next presidential election.
Fine for the Democratic stumpspeakers!

his recent statements that no legitimate industry

(From the NEWS Correspondent.)
Trenton, Feb. 20.-As the result
of a conference Of a delegation of
state labor leaders with Governor
Wilson, the Governors antitrust
bills known as the "Seven Sisters"
which are now ready for the Cover
nor's pen, will be joined by an eighth
measure designed to protect the In
terests of labor ~unionists and other
w~orkingmen and women in the mat
ter of agreements with employers for
the fixing Of scales of wages. Ever
since the Introduction of the Anti
trust measures the labor leaders had
contended that thew should hit work
ing people by forbidding wage scales
such as now are commo In many
lines of work.
This objection was pointed out
both in the Senate and Assembly and
efforts were made to have the meas
ures amended 70 suit the labor union
lists, but the Governor had decided
that they should pass as soon as pos
sible in unamended form, and the
Democrats vrted down these pro-
posed changes. Yesterday afternoon
before the seven bills passed the
Assembly the delegation called upon
the Governor and urged that the
measures be changed In the particu-
lar stated. Those in the delegation
were Assemblymsr Quinn, of Middle
sex: Adams. of Mercer. and James

They EXPRESSED TO the Governor
earnestly their fears that his bills
would have q serious effect against

bills amended before they were pass
