IN the public statement issued Sat
urday Governor Hatfield appeals "a
railroads and all public service cor
porations, or their representatives 10
this state, not to take refuge In tech
nicalities IA meeting complaints
brought against them before the Pub
Tic Service Commission but to meet
them in the broad spirit Of justice
The commission, he says, Is a meal

70 fulhll the purpose Of which II was
created
Il have nothing whatever against
the public service corporations, bat
they have got to give to the people
the consideration to which they are
entitled said the governor.
"We have got to have these big cor
porations TO encourage industry, and
believe they should have good In
terest on their investment. but at the
same time they have got to deal on
the square with the people.
In this way only can we expect t.
engender better feeling that OF q

people, and that is what we should
have. The corporations are paying
the expense OF conducting the Public
Service Commission, and II they viii
deal fairly with the people am sure
that the money could not be spent IN
more profitable way.
A Recent Happening.
Citing as an example Of the prac
tees which have led to the prejudice
against public service corporations
Governor Hatfield pointed out q case
which has come before the Public
Service Commission recently in which
man living in West Virginia at 9
point on the Norfolk and Western
Railroad shipped some goods tc
Charleston. The railroad company
made a charge Of 81 cents per hun
bred for the goods. An investigation
showed that the goods could have
been shipped from the same point e
New York City for so cents per hun
dred pounds. The shipper lodged
complaint with the Public Service
Commission for excessive charge, and
the commission took the matter az
with the railroad company The le
gal representatives Of the railroad
company dened the authority Of tho
Public Service Commission to dea
with the case because at one point
the railroad passes through a tunne
OF about so feet in the state OF Ken
lucky and the freight shipment was
thus subjected to the rules Of the
interstate commerce commission
The governor suggests joint con
ference between railroad representa-
tives and the Public Service Commits
sion in regard TO improvement "
train service about which there y
much complaint.
The delays in the telegraph service
are also to be taken up by the com
mission, says the governor. who EN-
phasizes the fact that by meeting the
public demands fairly on all these
things the publ cservice corporations
win be benefited in the end as much
