DO PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSIONS REGULATE?

BY r. ]. Faussett, Attorney at Law.
Early in December, 1914, the Ev-
erett Trades Council filed with the
Public Service Commission of Wash
ngton, complaint against the Ever
EFT Railway, Light and Water Com
pany of Everett, complaining that the
Light & Water Company were charg-
ing extortionate rates based upon the
capital invested and services render
ed hearing was had in Everett in
March, 1915, evidence by all the par
ties concerned taken; evidence was
and is not disputable that the COM
plant was true as stated therein;
that the rates charged were unreas-
enable, and unjust. For some reason
the Public Service Commission did
not hand down it's decision until the
18th day of December, 1915, or about
one year after complaint was made.
It then, on December 18th, 1915, hand
ed down a decision on the reasonable
ness Of the charges made for cleo
tTicity, in which it held that the
rates charged were unreasonable and
unjust, and made an order which in
effect reduced the rates nearly
thirty-seven per cent, and making the
minimum charge seventy-five cents
per month instead of one dollar as
now charged. The defendant com
pany in few days thereafter filed
a petition asking that it be given a
rehearing; its petition was filed with
the Public Service Commission in
Seattle, but for some reason no copy
was served on the plaintiffs council
until the Public Service Commission
ordered that such be done Plaintiffs
counsel we requested to go to Olym-
pia to attend the hearing on the petit
ton of the defendant company:
hearing was had, the commission de-
MED the same; but during this time
the Public Service Commission sus-
pended the order it made on Decem-
Der 18th, 1915 thereby allowing the
defendant company to continue col
lecting charges which it had already
found to be unreasonable and Unjust
and which charges by its order on
December 18th, 1915, cancelled and
set aside, and made an order estab-
fishing cheaper rates The order still
remains suspended and the unjust
| charges are still being collected
Early in February, I, as attorney for
| the Everett Trades Council, was re-
quested to meet with the Public Serv-
ice Commission in Seattle, at Chair
man Reynolds office Il did 50. Mr..
| W. A. Johnson, now our city attorney,
was present at the request Of the
Commission. We We're given to I'M
derstand that the defendant company
had offered a compromise by which
1t would give a 50-cent minimum and
s cents per kilOwat hour, with a 10
per cent discount, instead of S.S cents
as now with a 10 per cent discount if

the Increase Right here I wish to
say that if l stop to quote these sta,
ustics this address would become
too long for the allotted time. But |
am going to deny right here that the
farmer is demanding anything he is
not to pay for. The amount to be
loaned to each person is to be lin.
tied either to acreage in this plan or
to amount as proposed by others.
And again it is proposed that the
farmer or other land owner pay twice
the interest that the public pays. In
fact it is not special privileges we
ask-but equal opportunity Really
we are very modest in our demands.
The banking fraternity has had mil.
lions of dollars at lower rates and
millions for nothing. This same
money they have loaned out to us
for all the traffic would bear-yes,
for more than it can afford to pay.
The legal rates for national banks is
ten per cent, but they have shameful.
ly abused this restriction. Comptrol.
Ter OF the Treaury Williams in his
letter of November 90, 1915, says:
My statement that a great many
banks have grossly violated Section
5l97 U. S, Revised Statutes against
usury is literally true and stands in
no need of correction"
In fact, ! believe that a good many
people can testify know l can
that especially in newly settled coun.
tries that the banks, like the saloon,
have no regard for law. The facts
of the case are the people have got
to have relief There are three
courses open to them to repudiate
their debts; lose their farms and 9TH
er mortgaged property, or to refund
at low rate of interest on long time
obligations. Concluded next week.

SHORT HISTORY OF ETFC---
TRIO LIGHT RATE CASE
Labor's Demands Ignored. Why?

paid in 10 days this was taken under
advisement by counsel for the Everett
Trades Council, with the understand
ing that if it were not accepted, that
the Commission would put the order
that it made on December Is into eff
feet on February Is, and at the same
time hand down a decision on the
water question. 1t was later found
that the defendant company had not
made that kind of a proposition to
the Public Service Commission, and
when the Everett Trades Council con-
cluded to accept the compromise aat
it had been given to understand was
offered, it was then advised that an
error had been made and that no
such offer had been made We were
again given to understand that a de-
cision would be forthcoming. 1t is
now April 3, 1916, and no decision has
yet been given, or at least, if so, we
have no notice of it. The day the
Democratic convention was held in
Everett, the members of the Public
Service Commission were here: two
of them, Mr. Spinning and Mr.. Lewis,
called, and went over the proposition
fully with the plaintiffs counsel, and
tried to impress him with accepting
the compromise above referred to;
counsel requested that he be furnish
ed with certified transcript; he was
promised that it would be sent to him
the next day-it has not arrived vet.
After waiting nearly a week, he wrote
an urgent letter asking for the certi-
an error had been made; counsel then
asked that a decision be handed
down at once. That request has
never been answered. On or about
March 16, the Everett Trades Council
passed a resolution calling upon the
Commission to hand down its decision
at once or mandamus proceedings
would be had; on or about the same
date, counsel for plaintiff wrote the
Commission calling on it to hand
neither the letter of the Everett
Trades Council with a copy of the
resolution or the letter of the Coun-
ellis attorney has ever been acknowl-
edged. Attorney for the Council has
now had formal demand for the
Commission to at once hand down its
decision in both the water and light
rates, and sent the demand by regis
tered letter, and has the return re-
ceitp for same. 1t is now one and a
half years since complaint was made,
| the evidence submitted showed that
the company made about 10 per cent
net on its light and on the water
nearly II per cent net

things that the people as whole
should know concerning this Public
Service corporation The Everett
Railway, Light and Water Company
has leased all of its properties, i. e.
the water plant, and power plant to
the Puget Sound International Rail-
way & Power Company for a short
time-only 999 years; this company
is Stone & Webster Co.. who has its
offices in Boston, so / am reliably
informed The exhibits on file show
that this company was to pay all oper-
at1ng expenses, provide for sinking
fund pay dividends on stock, and in
terest on bonds. 1t was also shown
that a charge was made of about
$4,000 per annum for general man
agement"; charge of $3.50 per month
as appraisal charge" and 5000 per
month for the Seattle district office.
and that is not ALL only part; then
came charge of $51 800 for what?
The accountant for the Public Service
Commissioned him what this charge
was for, stated in substance that Mr..
McChesney got that for his good will
Now it may be said that the Public
Service Commission did not take those
charges into consideration - did not
allow those, when making and fixing
rates; if it ever does in our case. but
the point I wish to impress is : Mr..
McChesney must have been able to
make a fine showing in order to
make such lease. / don't blame Mr..
McChesney for getting all he could
that is good business, but | am in
terested in knowing how long we are
going to pay those rates that the
Public Service Commission has al.
ready found to be unreasonable and
unjust. There seems to be but one
course open, and that is to man.

for residence, and 50-cent minimum
but under no consideration can l con-
sent to such as it would be but
small gain The defendant company
is taking great deal of comfort out
of a decision, lately handed down by
the State Supreme court in which it
has held that the corporation can not
be compelled to disclose it's private
contracts to the Public Service Com
mission for the purpose of fixing
rates, and that selling power to priv
ate parties is private use; while all
this is true there is another important
side to that decision which will be
presented to the court. when the
time comes, if it should.
In the face of the foregoing, l ask,
