MONOPOLY.

Monopoly is not pleasant word
To American ears.
The kind OF monopoly which nearly
every citizen regards with fear and
distrust is monopoly which escapes
just regulation by some agency OF
government.
A monopoly regulated and con-
troiIed by representatives OF the peo-
pie is an entirely different thing.
President Wilson recognized this
when he said:
Public service corporations are
in very Interesting sense natural
monopolies.
They generally use the pieces OF
land and roads and highways which
are most convenient for their pur-
poses and most direct for effecting
the communications which they ef-
II other companies are allowed to
compete with them there is a waste
ful duplication In outlay and equip
ment. so that competition generally
results In an eventful combination Of
the competing companies and the
necessity to charge a price on what
they supply that viii pay the inter
est on twice as great an Investment
as was really necessary for the ser
vice"
President Wilson says In another
way what all state utility commis-
sions and sound economists have
agreed upon, namely that competi-
ton In public utilities is costly to
the people.
Utility systems are costly. The
capital they represent bears interest.
As soon as the property is built II
begins to depreciate. Interest and
depreciation charges form heavy
proportion OF the cost OF operating
any utility.
Rates for service must neccssari-
ly De based on the cost OF produc-
lion including interest and deprecia-
ton There is no other way OF run
ming the business without deficits. by
either a company or municipality.
ON" Investment in a single utility
plant can reach and serve all the
possible customers. Two investments
in tWo plants, which are demanded
by real competition. double the in
t"rrst aud depreciation charges and
divide the business.
Under which plan are the lowest
rates logically possible?
when rates and service are both
regulated and fixed by a State Com
