STATE TO HAZE
MUNICIPAL EXPERT.
Plan OF Chairman Of Public Utilities
Commission.
FOR CITY OWNED UTILITIES
VIII Work Out Problems OF Each
Plant and Suggest Equitable
Rates-wnl Know Condi-
tons Then.
n CITY OWNED UTILITIES

Topeka, Sept. 6.-Henderson Mar
tin. chairman of the Kansas public
utilities commission, is planning for
an efficiency expert on municipal
utilities to help the Kansas cities
provide better service and lower
rates for their local utilities. The
commission proposes to employ an
expert water works and electrical
engineer to work in connection with
the state university engineering de-
partment in helping to solve the
water and light problems OF each
city.
"What I want to do" said Mr..
Martin, sis to have this man go out
to all the Kansas cities and make
Ia thorough examination, from a
technical standpoint. He Will ex-
anime every municipality owned wa
ter and electric light plant In the
state and study the conditions ana
problems of each plant. Then we
want him to work out certain STAN
dards of service and rates and Ell
ficiency for water and light plants
of the state, each city Of a certain
size, of course, having a certain
definite standard.
"Then we will know just what
the municipal utility condition is In
Kansas. When this engineer sees
something in a plant that would
improve the service or the efficiency
of a plant which, by fixing, would
enable the city to reduce its rates
or improve its service or reduce the
cost of operation, 1t will be- his duty
to lay the trouble before the city
commission or the city council, show
them what ought to be done and
what could be expected to follow
the work.
"My information is that Kansas
has more municipality owned utili-
ties and more small towns own their
own water and light plants than
any other state Of the union OF
equal population. It seems to me
that the state could be of real serv-
ice to these cities by studying out
the problems and showing the cit
les how to remedy the troubles"

Washingtos, Sept. 18.-The inter-

rected that "all individuals, firms,
companies and corporations owning

and instrumentalities and facilities CT

Of private car lines.
The commission began the privass
car line investigators more than a

Grafton was unreasonable and dis
criminatory and that allowances to
them by trunk lines were excessive.
In the first order only the railways
were made respondents. 1t is init.

only a positive order by the commits
sion against private car lines but
probably action by the department Of

of a very essential field for govern
ment supervision and regulation
UNDER RESERVE BOARD.

Discussing the plan to put the re-
serve bank system under control of a
federal reserve board. composed of the
secretaries of treasury and agriculture,
the comptroller of the currency and
four others named by the president,
Senator Burton said:
Such an organization might at first
seem to secure a proper balance be-
tween the people and tho banks in the
management of our finances. But 1t Is
the bane of our national life that poll
tics enters all administrative duties.
The competition between opposing
parties is so keen that those engaged
in enterprises do not feel sure that
the authority of a political board will
not be used for partisan advantage
Senator Burton said the idea of CEN
tralization had been adopted by foreign
countries widely remotc and different
in policies, but added that there is
no doubt a prevalent opinion which
must be respected, which opposes a
central bank, and besides our geo.
graphical area is so much greater than
that OF other countries that a central
bank is believed by many to be out Of
the question"
The senator strongly commended the
provisions granting authority to ma
tional banks to accept certain classes
of paper, the proposed establishment
Of branches in foreign countries and
the recently inserted clause to require
reserve banks receiving the circulating
notes OF other banks 10 take imme-
date steps for their redemption.

some of the guardians wanted TO treat
him as "a brother" The majority of
the guardians, however, supported DR..

I'm plain English he IS not suitable
