Bic |NTERESTS TO
PROFIT BY BILL?
Beal Measure Would End Mu.
niCipaI Competition, Said
Bill Condemned
at Meeting.

Lincoln. Neb.. Jan. 30--A reading of
he Beal bill, introduced by the senator
from Custer, explains why the league
of municipalities. at it's session at
Hastings. Saturday, unanimously con-
demned it. For one thing it is intended
to put am end to the competition by
municipalities with privately owned
corporations engaged in the light, heat
and power business. 1t would, if its in
tent is carried out by the state rail-
way commission, prevent municipal
competition in cities where the private
ly owned companies now a the field
to themselves. 1t also grants what
amounts to a perpetual charter to all
companies now holding limited charters
by giving them an indefinite grant to do
business.
Attorneys who have weighed legally
the provisions of the bill say that it is a
cleverly devised plan to benefit the cor
porate interests by giving them a mo-
nopoly Of power plants that may later
be used to prevent state ownership.
1t provides that the railway commits
sion, when a new project or a new eN-
tension of any existing plant is
launched, to determine whether there is
any necessity for such extension or
building, and this applies to all light,
neat and power plants.
Senator Beal says that the bill was
handed to him by Frank f.. Edgerton,
formerly deputy attorney general n
now in practice at Aurora.
What the Bill Provides.
The first section of the bill defines a
public utility corporation as any plant
or property for the generation, produc-
ton, transmission distribution, sale, de-
livery marketing or furnishing TO any
person OF persons or corporations,
either public or private, heat, light,
water, gas, electricity or power. Cor
porations of this sort are not now un-
der the control of the state railway
commission. Definitions are also given
Of rate, municipality and the various
other terms employed so hat no mis-
take can be made as to what or who is
meant.
The second section provides hat the
state railway commission shall LAY
power and jurisdiction over and d.
rected to govern, supervise, regulate
end control all public utilities in this
state as the same are defined and en-
braced, and to do all things proper,
necessary or convenient in the exercise
of such power and jurisdiction.
The third section applies to hearings
the same rules of procedure as in cor
porations over which the commission
now exercises control.
Succeeding sections cover filing of
rates and the prohibition Of any change
therein antil after the commission
passes upon ii.

CUNM|NS UPHOLDS
THE PRIMARY LAW
Senior Senator Urges That No
Backward Step Be Taken
danger Appar-
ent to Him.

Des Moines. Ia, Jan. Ex-senator A.
e. CumminS, father OF n Iowa pri-
mary law, is opposed to the repeal OF
the primary law as advocated in the
message read by Governor Clarke to the
Iowa general assembly.
He declares that he can Imagine
nothing more disastrous in the political
world than for Iowa to lead off in the
restoration of the caucuS and ConVen-
ton system"
Iowa was the prime mover in estab-
'lishing the primary system in the
United States. Following the example
of this state, most of the other states
of the union now have Il primary law.
Letter to kimbalI.
In a letter to Senator G. l.. Kimball,
of Council Bluffs, Senator Cummins
says:
Il know that the primary has not al
ways worked out to the satisfaction of
it's friends, and we will never be able to
devise any plan that will in every in
stance produce the best results.
Comparing the primary, however,
with the old plan, it has been a bril-
liant success, not only in Iowa, but
everywhere else. Unquestionably it is
susceptible of amendment. 81 have
serious doubts about the presidential
preference primary, although | think
there will be occasions now and hen in
which it is essential. Would il not nc
possible to amend il so tnat it could be
called into use upon petition?
Nonpartisan Judiciary.
Il have not thought out the situation
carefully. but my general idea is that
there will be some years 10 which it
would be burdensome and wholly futile
to hold such ii primary, but there will
be other situations in which it would be
very beneficial to take the sentiment of
the voters in that way.
II have had little opportunity to
reach a conclusion with regard to the
nonpartisan judiciary primary, and
have no settled conviction about it. At
all hazards we ought, it seems to me. to
maintain the selection Of candidates for
county offices, members OF the general
assembly, governor and more important
state officers, United States senators
and members Of the house of represen-
tatives, through h direct primary
