that the street railway company could
not endure this kind of treatment. The
people were getting after them through
their city government as they had never
done before. The company had to in
vent some avenue of escape and this
they did in the state wide public util->
tiles bill passed at the last session.
:. : PENNSYLVANIA.
The state Of Pennsylvania, which has
state in the Union; did not want to be
outdone by it's western neighbors, SO
public utilities bill for the state of
Pennsylvania was introduced in the last
legislature, and it is interesting to note
who it was that had charge of this bill.
They were no others than the noted
Senators Edwin S. Ware and James p.
McNichol, old henchmen Of the Quay
machine These two men have long been
conspicuous in the political life Of Phil
adelphia. They have been the chief
movers and leaders in the gang Of
contre ctors that have so successfully
controlled machine politics in Philadel-
phia and the state of Pennsylvania.
When the public utilities bill advocated
by my opponent meets with the APPROX
al of men like Ware and McNichol, you
can assume that there is not much in
that kind of legislation for the people
Of this state. This bill was opposed by
the progressives. and the civic organ
izations of Philadelphia.

iety are dwarfed into insignif1cance by
the probable and almost certain injury
to the public which stand out in House
Bill No. 907 known as the Public Util-
tiles Bill. Under the latter there is pos
sible gigantic combination of all these
agencies engaged in: the public service,
with a staggering aggregation Of capt.
tai Of countless millions, or even bill
ions!" 81.
It was expected that Governor Dunn
would veto this bill but he signed 1t
and an issue has been made in Illinois
against him on account Of this legisla-
ton and if all signs do not fail Cover
nor Dunn will fail Of reelection.
It is proposed, by the adoption Of the
Wisconsin system, to place the control
and regulation Of the public utilities OF
the state, consisting Of lighting com
panies, street car companies, telephone
companies, etc, under the railway and
warehouse commissioners. 5=5ssss5.

WHY THE "PUBLIC UTILITIES IDEA
IS BEING FORCED TO THE FRONT
Full Text Speech by Hon. James Peterson of Minneapolis
In His Debate With Frank N. Stacy.

Two weeks ago we published Gov
ernor Eberhart's opening gun in fav-
or of public utilities law, to secure
at once which he proposes to call
special session Of the Legislature.
The speech made by Hon. James A.
Peterson in his recent debate with
Frank N. Stacy giving the objections
to the public utilities commission
idea is the best summary we have so
far seen on that side Of the question,
and we are giving it to our readers
in full, in two installments. Better
read upon this question, for it will
loom up big in the near future.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
When my Honorable opponent sent
me a challenge to meet him in public
debate on this question, I did not &C
cept on account OF any confidence that
] had in my own ability to Vanquish
him, but l did so on account of the I'M
bounded faith had in the justice Of the
side 1 was to champion. I thought at
first it might seem presumptuous on the
part of a private citizen like myself to
cross swords with a man who has been
the untitled chancellor of two political
dynastcs in the state of Minnesota
man whose reputation for learning
has long since extended beyond the
bounds Of his own state.
I was spurred on to action, however,
by the thought that should facts at my
disposal overcome the learning Of my
tbn iotn "a
valuable and far reaching.
A Public Utilities law, such as is in
force in Wisconsin, is being offered by
the Governor to the people of this state
It is indeed gracious gift that is be-
ing rendered our people. Yet, at the
risk of being little discourteous,
must remind you of the old saying al
ways look gift horse in the mouth"
The proposed legislation has become
an issue in nearly every state In the un
ion and I shall devote a short space O.
my time to analyZe the motives tina
lie back of it.
I wish to discuss the question, First
is this legislation proposed by the yer!
people that are supposed to be res
trained by it? If I can show that th1
legislation is fathered and sponsored b.
the Public Utilities companies them
selves, it seems to me it will be po
tent reason why it would not be bene
fetal to the people of this state as
whole.
NATIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION
Some years ago there was formed l.
the United States, with headquarters i
New York City, what is known as tn
National Civic Federation. This FEEDER
alton had ostensibly for it's main pull
pose the study Of the control of publ
utilities corporations by the govern
ment. It was composed Of men from a
over the United States who were inter
ested in this subject. Several men {
some note were employed by them

Of public utilities by state commission
Such bill was to be introduced simu
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1913-09-03

ever since paid into the treasury of the
city SIS per cent Of it's net earnings.
Chicago has now in its treasury from
this source $4,000, 100000 and in another
10 to Is years : will have sufficient
revenue with which to buy and equip
the complete street railway plant Of the
city. This is a remarkable instance of
what a municipality can do under
home rule. About 80 miles north on the
lake is the city Of Milwaukee. During
the same period that city under the
benefcient rule of the Public Utilities
Commission Of Wisconsin has paid
street car fares at the rate Of 6 for a
quarter and has not a. dollar in it's
treasury from the company.
What about the gas situation in Min
neapolis and Milwaukee? Three years
ago the franchise Of the Gas Company
expired in the city Of Minneapolis. The
city council, under home rule, entered
into new contract with the Gas Com
pany. That franchise, say without fear
of contradiction, is perhaps the best
franchise contract made by any city in
the United States. Mr.. Wilcox in his
monumental work on municipal fran
chises uses this gas ordinance as a
model. It has been copied by cities
from coast to coast, even the city of
Manila has copied our gas franchise.
: call upon my opponent at this time
to produce any work of any state COM
mission that will compare with this
gas ordinance passed three years ago
by the city council Of the city Of Min
neapo1is. r. - s.: ~.
r1o+ In 70 fc 10
kee? In the city Of Milwaukee the peo-
pie are paying 75c for gas. This is
equal to Sic in Minneapolis because the
freight charges to Minneapolis on coal
is 1oc per thousand feet greater than
to Milwaukee. A great deal Of talk
has been INDUCED in that the COM
missions will squeeze out the water,
that is in those franchise corporations
stock. Let us see what has happened in
Milwaukee. The capitalization of the
Milwaukee Gas Company is $4.45 per
thousand feet Of gas output; in Mime
apolis the capitalization of the gas COM
pany is $40 per thousand feet output,
and we all know that the Minneapolis
Gas Company has Watered Stock but
the city Of Milwaukee, under the State
Commission has at least 33 per cent
more Of water than the Minneapolis
Gas Company. s. q.
S. IOWA. zs=s
In the state of Iowa during he last
three sessions of the Legislature, an at
tempt has been made by the public
utilities companies to pass state COM
mission law. but the attempt thus far
has proved a failure. The civic and

COBB HAS BEEN LOOKING
 THREE YEARs FOR BAR

Since the report of the discovery or gold near Andreafski the name of F. W. Cobb has been heard frequently and it is supposed that the paystreak supposed to be to be found is the one for which Cobb has been looking for for years. There is letter in the city now which Cobb wrote some time ago and during his search. It tells how party of white men lived in that
 neighborhood with the natives ana how one of them came to camp one nne day with a goodly sized and well nlled poke. To this poke must be given the credit for the excitement which has been created from time to time about that country. There was another man
 who went after gold up there or there
