REGULATION OF
PUBLIC PLANTS
REPORT TO MUNICIPAL LEAGUE,
IN SESSION TODAY. SAYS PUB
Lie UTILITIES SHOULD BE LO-
Called.
DISLIKE STATE CONTROL
COMMUNITIES SHOULD BE IN Pc
SITION TO CAUSE PUBLIC UTILI-
TY CORPORATIONS TO ANSWER
THEM.

TORONTO, November 17.-Rcgula-
ton of street railways, telephones, ell
ectric and gas plants exclusively by the
state was condemned in a report sub
mitted to the Nineteenth Annual Meet
ingof the National Municipal League to-
day, by the committee on Franchises.
The report, submitted by the chairman
DR.. DelOs f. Wilcox of New York City.
dealt with the relation of municipal
home rule to the control Of public utilit.
les.
The committee pointed out that publ"
utilities are primarily urban in charac-
ter and that, on general principles the
control Of public functions should be
localized as much as possible. in order
to secure the interest and effective coop
Grafton of citizens. Moreover, as = prac-
teal matter, the more powerful the cor
poratiOns become and the more wide
spread their services, the more powerful
it is that they should be directly ans
wcrablc to the local committees which
they serve.
1T may easily be possible" said the
report, that Iii appOintiyc state com
mission will fail more or less complete
~ under the domination Of the powerful
interests which control the pubic util-
tiles of the state, and thus tlir very ma
chinery provided for the regulation Of
utilities be captured by the interests
presumed TO be regulated by il. 1t may
be necessary to array against the p0Wrr
full financial interests of the companies
the direct mass interest of the local con
sumcrs in order TO preserve The vitality
of the regulatory function. Public util
ty corporations exist 10 serve the people
not to control thcm.
However in NEST cases. regulation

out the active cooperation Of both state
and local authorities. The Jurisdiction
of state public service commissions
should be general over all public utIlit-
ties so that there will be no twilight

ABOUT HUNTERS
BEING KILLED AND INJURED
THROUGH CARELESSNESS.

Considerable complaint is being made
by land owners up the county regarding
the carelessneSs of hunters. 1t is stated
that many farm animals, including
horses and cows have been n~egligently
killed by hunters, and hat the loss to
the farm owners has been considerable.
Justices of the peace have been notified
in some instances, and it is reported
that several arrests have been made in
connection with the cases.
Z. f. Combe of Brownsville, who own
a ranch three miles the other side of
COmbe station, stated today that he lost
a colt a few days ago., valued at $3.50
and that several Of his horses have been
cut badly by being run into barbed wire
fences by the dogs of hunters.
In one case a few days ago two little
Mexican boys near San Benito were
wounded by stray shots from the gun OF
a hunter.
1t is stated that unless the spOrtsmen
are more careful in their seakch for
game that strenuous measures Will be
taken to stop their hunting in many
parts of the county.

zone within which the utilities can es-
cape regulation altogether, but every
city Of enough Importance to enjoy home
rule in framing its charter should have
the right to establish Il separate bureau
department or commission for the sup
c~ryiSion of all utilities operating within
the city limits. The city's jurisdiction
should extend to matters affecting the
occupation Of streets. the quality Of ser
vice rendered and the character of the
franchise contract entered into for the
purpose of facilitating ultimate mum
cipal ownership. The states jurisdiction
should extend to matters relating to
competition, stock and bond issues. ac-
counts and publicity. Rates and exten-
SionS should be under municipal con
troll, subject to be revised by state com
mission. The city should also have the
right ~ appear by its local experts be

the municipal authorities ought to have
the right to initiate extensions, and the

sion should not be determined solely by

as a separate unit, but by its effect upon
the profits of the entire system.

FOR FARMERS OF
TWO COUNTIES
HIDALGO COMMISSIONERS MAKE
ANNUAL APPROPRIATION OF
ST, 900 FOR THE DEMONSTRATION
AGENT.
FOLLOWS SIMILAR AMOUNT AP-
PROPRIATED SOME WEEKS AGO
BY CAMERON COUNTY-NEWS
CAUSES SATISFACTION HERE.

L-#MN~# t- H# t4r- M-U. Mh#HrMH "A .A
The Hidalgo County Board of County
Commissioners has made an appropria-
ton of 81 900 for the purpose of joining
Cameron county in the proposition to es-
tablish a farm demonstration agent to
work in behalf of the two counties. The
appropriation is to begin just as soon
as the two counties have gotten together
in the matter of he appointment of the
proper man for the place.
This news, which is very satisfactory
to Brownsville and Cameron county peo-
pie, who have been interested in the mat
ter, was received today by Rex Willard,
of the farm management division of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, and was in the form of a letter
from Judge James III. Edwards, county
judge of HidalgO county.
About two months ago an apprOpria-
ton of the same amount was made by
the board Of county commissioners Of
Cameron county, and the proposition
was at once placed before the HidalgO
county board, with the result as stated
above.
The demonstration agent to be ap-
pointed will make it his business to visit
the farmers over the two counties, and
coach them in the problems they may en-
counter in farming in this section. Many
other counties of the state have them.
and the work they do is considered in
valuable.
No selection Of a man for the place
has vet been made. it is understood, nor
is il known as yet where he will make
his headquarters.
Mr.. Willard. now absent in Washing
ton, who makes his headquarters in
Brownsville. has agreed to work in con
junction with the demonstration agent,
and the two experts together it is he
lieved will be a valuable asset to the
farming communities of Hidalg0 and
Cameron counties. Mr.. Willard at the
present time is engaged in preparing bull
lctins for his department on farm work
in this section. mi

kept well within the actual value of the
physical property.
The committee urged the Importance
of a systematic campaign for the recov-
cry Of control over the perpetual and
long term franchises now outstanding. So
long as the utilities in the heart of the
city continue to be owned and operated
under satisfactory, out OF date franchis-
cs, the city. is asserted, can have no adj
cquate control of the development of its
street railways and other utilities.
The report was signed by DR.. Wilcox
us chairman, and Robert Treat Paint, of
Boston. James w. s. Peters, Of Kansas
City, Abraham Rogers Pinanski. of BoS
ton, and Charles Richardson and Gin
ton Rigcrs Woodruff. of Philadelphia.
Prof. Edward w. Bcmis, the Chicago
public uti ity expert, another member
of the committee, did not sign the report
but signed Il memorandum in which he
expressed dOub of the wisdom At the
present time of giving state commissions
any control over capitalization, or over
rates in the larger cities. especially in
states west Of New York.

modiatcly after big rain in spring
or summer numbers of "toads," or

explanation is that the young, half

Although Paris undoubtedly has

Partisan innovations have died

PROCUREMENT FOR THE PHIL.
IPPINES.

President-elect Wilson has placed
himself OH record as being in favor
of independence for the Philippines.
The January Review of Reviews
discusses this subject and while be-
lieving in the wisdom OF future in
dependence for the islanders,
doubts ii they arc yet ready for it.
Its reasons in part are as follows:
A century is a short time in the
history of given country or re-
gion. Having undertaken to guard
the welfare and guide the progress
of the Philippine Islands. it would
seem as if we should have assumed
that Our presence will be needed for
at least hundred years. We found
the islands wholly lacking in unity
from any standpoint whatsoever.
There was no such thing as a Fill
pino people, a Filipino language,
or political or economic system
that made the archipelago a self
entity. 1t has been our business
TO establish civil order, to provide
schools, to enco 1rage agriculture
and industry. and to create local
governments with a view to train
ing as many of the native people
as possible in the habits Of respon-
sible citizenship. There cannot be
self-governing country which has
few citizens capable Of acting eth
er as private voters or as public Of
ficials. 1t has been the purpose Of
the United States to make the peo-
pie OF the Philippine Islands cap
able of self-govcrnment just a rap
idly as possible. No such effort
has ever been made by any other
government on a scale of such
magnitude or with motives so I'M
selfish. 1t is no longer question
whether we ought to have acquired
fhe islands. If we were unwise in
assuming authority. we should be
all the more careful not to act hast
lily in abandoning what we have
undertaken"
