These figures show the average price
of electric power In 1912 in the entire
United States to have been only two
thirds what it was ten years earlier.
These reductions do not tell the entire
benefit to the consumer. as they show
only the price Of current and offer no
suggestion as to the economics brought
about by improvement In electric
lamps, motors and other appliances for
utilizing electricity. In lighting alone
the Improvement In electric lamps in
the last fifteen years has given the con-
sumner from three to FIVE times as much
current. That is, one cents worth of
electricity now produces five times as
much light as 1t did fifteen years ago.
One Of the most impressive facts
shown by the above table OF electric
prices is the effect that water power
development has had upon power costs.
1t will be seen that In the Middle At
lantic. West North Central and East
South Central States, where there has
been little water power development.
the rates remained almost the same
for ten years, while In the West South
Central States. where there Is no water
power development worth mentioning
the cost of power actually increased. In
New England and the South Atlantic
States. where there has been consider
able use of water power, the price
dropped of one-third, while In the
Mountain and Pacific states. where the
greatest development Of water power
has taken place, the reduction was
fully fifty per cent.
These figures tell the story veH i'm
pressively of what may be expected In
the way Of benefit to the industries of
the entire country when the 54,O0O,O 900

Shakespeare and Bacon.

The ShakespeareBacon controversy
has not received final settlement and
probably never will. There are some
critics who hold that the man from
Stratford" did not write the immortal
plays that have for so long time gone
under his name. and the arguments
that they make for the claim are quite
weighty. But the great majority of
people, including perhaps a majority of
the critics, feel that Shakespeare gave
the world the priceless dramas. At
any rate, the Stratford man is In pos

he was in any immediate danger of be

Social Structure.

What is a social structure? It may
be an ant hill or a democracy. 1t is
usually composed of a mass Of indi-
viduals banded together for mutual
disagreement 1t is centripetal and
centrifugal. Each individual would
like to get out of it. but he doesn't
know how. Small masses Of individ-
uals, also banded together, would like
to get out of it, but they don't know
how. Larger masses of individuals
banded together would like to get rid
of some of the smaller masses, but
they don't know how. Nobody wants
everybody else to- stay. Everybody
doesn't want anybody to stay. The
result is that nobody can get rid of
anybody.

MR.. BRYAN TO GIVE -.
VIEWS AT INQUIRY
Indicates Desire to Be Heard
on Transportation Problems
Before Committee.
STATEMENT BY A. P. THOM

William Jennings Bryan has intimated
that he would like to be heard by the
Newlands joint congressional committee
now conducting an investigation Of the
transportation problems of the country,
it was learned last night The committee
has not determined the order in which
the witnesses will be heard, following the
completion of the statement of railroads,
and it is not know just when Mr.. Bryan
will appear. When Mr.. Bryan was a
candidate for the presidency in 1908 he
announced himself in favor of the gov
eminent ownership of railroads.
A. P. Thorn, general counsel of the
advisory committee of railway execu-
tives, yesterday completed the opening
statement on behalf of the railroads.
setting forth changes proposed by the
ton. Mr.. Thorn was before the COM
mittee three days. He will go on the
stand tomorrow morning ready to an
swer questions which members of the
committee are expected to ask.
Mr.. Thom's Statement.
Mr.. Thorn told the committee yester-
day that the railroads are particularly
interested in federal incorporation of
interstate carriers. in federal control
of the issue of railroad securities, and in
changes in the present interstate COM
merce act and the method of operation
OF the interstate commerce commission.
He read a plan for federal incorpora-
ton drawn by Richard Olney, in which the
former Secretary of State and Attorney
General said 1t was apparent that the
national government has by inaction
acquiesced in the exercise of state au-
thorlty over matters exclusively within
the national jurisdiction while the
courts have held such state control valid
as long the national government thus
implicitly approved it.
But he pointed out that owing to the
Unsatisfactory condition of the ear
riers. ii now is the duty of the federal
government to use its acknowledged
to the exclusion of the states.
Quotation From Olney Brief.
Mr.. Olney's brief said n federal in
corporation measure should provide for
the Incorporation of certain designated
persons to acquire, hold and manage
corporations taken over. The amount
of the capital stock would be discre-
tionary with such persons, debts and
obligations Of the old to be assumed
in each case by the new company, and
stockholders of the old to be offered
stock in the new. Shares of the old
corporation not obtainable by exchange
or purchase would be secured by en-
inent domain proceedings.
The organizers of a pew corporation
would operate the road concerned with
all the powers Of receivers until ma
jority of the new capital stock was
issued, and then control and operation
would be taken over by stockholders.
