One of the matters that is to come
before the state Legislature this session
is the question of whether public SER
vice corporations in cities should be
under local or under state control A
start has been made in this direction
and efforts are being exerted by some
communities to regain supervision oil
these utilities. Both experience and
the opinions OF the country's foremost
economists incline to the belief that
state regulation is the proper way.
With many confusing local issues that
arise, where judgment is clouded by
the passions of factions, justice to the
public and to service corporations can
only be secured when there is fair
and disinterested tribunal to consider
problems as they arise.

 Honest, folk, it is the funniest thing. You know the configuration of the Phoenix ball lot and this will ap- peal to you as GOOD.

 When the Mackmen got home from Phoenix they were brim full of excite ment over an alleged signal-tipping stunt which was pulled off for the ben eft of the Solons Saturday and Sun day. Stoney McGlynn and Ray Kallio were the victims and Manager John J. McClockey makes no bones about the charge and declares that it is contrary to the rules of baseball to use signal tipping stunts.
 q simply couldn't understand how they were hitting McGlynn and Kallio after these same pitchers had them at their mercy earlier in the week. They simply took grips and lit into everything that came along.
 During the Sunday game I noticed a fellow out in deep center waving his arms every time a Phoenix man came to bat. There are some trees handy and they had a fellow up in a tree with a field glass. He caught the sig

 The writer sat directly behind the plate in both games and it is an honest to gosh fact that neither of the idols to which Fl Paso bows so fatuausly, had enough on the ball to hide it's nakedness.
 A team batting against Fl Paso can not apparently recover it's batting eye and there is no doubt that Phoenix HAS a good batting team-without a covert insult being made through the press Certainly Albuquerque got no signals tipped while that club was making from F to 21 hits a game off Fl Paso.

But you watch them at Albuquerque this week and you'll find that they won't be mak . ing any batting records and I know my pitchers are as good if not better, than the Dukes.
 q accused the Phoenix men of the trick and they merely laughed at me. I fooled them, though, during the latter part of the game. 1 had Jack give signals as usual but also give the right signals in new manner. When the curve was signalled and Kallio sent a hot liner close to the shoulder it was funny to watch them duck away from the plate and look foolish.'

The Dukes suddenly recovered their batting form and assailed Toner. getting seven runs off nine hits in five innings.

 The Diamond From the Sky ought to be a ball diamond. It ought to drop in graceful parabolic curve and nestle among the greenery about six blocks from the center of Phoenix. But it should be careful not to have any trees in its centerfield region, or somebody would get accused of having wig waGged.

 Well, aren't they the hard luck kids? Now we may expect a lot of grabbing about "If Hester had taken Putnam and Brown and Smiley, he mighta saved the game"
