Step to Public Ownership.

speaking for myself alone l think it
probable that public utilities commissions
ar. hut a necessary stepping stone to ult'-
mate municipal ownership. 1t appears to
he advisable not only that the people
Should be informed as to the fair value
Of the utilities made by the proper author
ity but also as to whether they can De
successfully operated by the municipality
both from a financial and Administrative
standpoint I have but little doubt that
when this is determined there VIII be
very general municipal ownership. II
may ccme. and in my Judgment should
come much sooner here. 1t is right In
principle that where certain utliitleS are
required to public space for the sup
ply of commodity. whether light. neat
TRANSFORMATION or water which the pub
lie must have. and which is of such pub
lie consequence that the very life of the
municipality as an organization depends
upon it. the furnishing of these COM
modities should be divorced from the
idea of private gain as quickly and thor
oughly as can be afely done. That the
present lighting and street transporta-
ton systems in Washington are good
business proposition even on their present
more or less suspicious capitalization, no
one can doubt.
That the credit of the District is suf-
ficient TO finance them to any extent ne
cessity demands is also without doubt.
That it possesses or can obtain the neceS-
sary administrative ability to operate
them is equally certain. If any city ever
presented a condition where municipal
ownership should be Immediately sue
cessful Washington does. The relation
of the public utilities to the people is not
wholly a business matter. 1t is Very
human proposition. 1t involves moral
and civil quantities as we'll as the more
material equations of investment and re-
turn Congress has made it the duty of
the public utilities commission to value
fairly the local public utilities. l firmly
believe it will shortly give it the power to
combine with this their acquisition upon
such financial basis as commends itself to
the Judgment of Congress.

Henry of Texas is chairman, to hurry
consideration of the matter. and 1t was
confidently asserted today that rule
giving the Sims measure the right OF
way in the House would be brought
in by the middle of next week, if not
before. Chairman Adamson of the in
terstate commerce committee, who re-
ported the bill was authorized by his
committee to urge the rules committee
to speed up. and today he began his
task
While the House is debating the is
sue next week in the Senate the COM
mittee on interoceanic canals will con-
slider what action to take. whether to
recommend a fiat repeal or to urge the
compromise bill offered by Senator

dent to regulate tolls and assess
charges at his discretion. wherever ex-
emption is provided in the canal act.
