FIGHT MAY HASTEN
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Opposition to Rate Making by
Utilities Commission Viewed
in That Light.

That the orders proposed by the pub
lie utilities commission for changing
the fiscal relationship Of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric and Potomac
Electric Power Company mark the
beginning of rate making by the COM
mission and, if successfully resisted by
the companies. will greatly curtail the
powers of the utilities board and has
ten the day of public ownership of
local public service corporations is the
belief of many officials of the District
government.
in question take the position that while
the utilities board may regulate ques-
lions of public service a s between con-
sumers and utilities, it is without au-
thority to review or to alter business
agreements between utilities them
selves.
Prevented From Serving It's Purpose
The attitude of the commission is that
! if it cannot change agreements between
utilities which it believes to be op-
posed to the public good it is prevent
ed from serving the purposes for which
it is created.
And 1t is no secret that the members
of the commission hold the position
tndC IL lHey are cSlOppeo from lully
regulating public service the made
quacy of the commission will soon be
realized and public ownership will be-
come a greater issue than it has ever
been.
Those who have followed the progress
of the commissions investigation of
the affairs of the Washington Railway
and Electric and Potomac Electric
Power Companies believe that the
orders proposed by the commission will
he issued and that the companies will
refuse to obey them. In which event
it is anticipated that fine will be i'm
posed for refusal to obey and that the
companies will seek an injunction to
prevent enforcement of the orders.
May Reach Highest Court.
This would get the whole question of
| the commissions right to interfere with
agreements between corporations be-
fore the District Supreme Court and
| eventually, it is believed, before the
| Supreme Court of the United States.
| 1t is believed by many that the future
| of the commission may rest on this de-
cison. Should the boards position be
| upheld 1T is commended that public
| ownership may be Indefinitely post
| poned, but If its right to regulate
agreements between utilities is denied
then it's value will be questioned and
| those who advocate the city owning
and operating its utilities will be given
an argument of greater weight than
| they heretofore have been able to
| employ.

War Benefits Threatened.
In order to correct these incorrect
financial notions the authorities
threatened to take the war dement's
away from women who wasted money
in drink. 1t is said the effect has
been Immediately noticeable. The num-
Der of women observable in the little
open-front cabarets has been greatly
Iessened Which recalls the fact that
these cabarets are to be reduced In
number by taxation. These reforms
are not mere war measures. France
wishes to attack the tasks which peace
will bring with her full force. She
will be clear-headed as well as strong
in the arm.
The wider use of light wines and
beers will probably be encouraged
when the war ends. France believes
they make for temperance. But an
effort is to be made to reduce the
volume of drinking. as well as to do
away with the overuse of heavily alco-
holized beverages and drinks which.
like absinthe, may be classed as drugs.

VILLAGE DECIDES
ON DRASTIC ACTION
Will Dismiss All Employees and
Close Down Plants.

Hibbing, Mimi, July 2S.-The, city
council of Hibbing, according to an
announcement, will petition Governor
Hammond for militia protection; it
will close the water and light plant
and will dismiss all the village en-
ployes; it will urge special session
of the state legislature to enact laws
enabling the prosecution of the mining
companies located here.
All this, it is asserted, will be done
because of an alleged conspiracy on
the part Of the mining interests to
control the village government.
This action was decided upon at a
meeting of the council by the adoption
of motion by Mayor Power.
The mayor included in his motion,
which was unanimously adopted, the
provision that the dismissal of en-
ployes and the closing of the water
and light plant be effected as soon as
the governor responds to the petition.
The mayor declared the refusal of

Indications are that the sinking
of the excursion steamer, Eastland,
in the Chicago river, which re-
suited in the loss of hundreds of
lives, was due to inexcusable ignor-
ance or criminal negligence. Who
ever is guilty should be determined
beyond the question of doubt and
no leniency shown. A wholesome
lesson is evidently needed.
