BOARD EXCEEDS AUTHORITY
Supreme Court Decision criticizes UtiI-
tiles Commission in a Trolley
Railway Bond Case.

Topeka-The supreme court recent
~ took a fall out of the state utilities
commission. In pointing out the au-
thority of the commission in regard
to railroad bond issues the court said:
1.-THE commission is not a general
guardian over public utilities or the
public, and cannot by any exercise OF
discretion over the issuing of bonds
and stocks, control the activities Of
business enterprises. Business initia-
tive and business sagacity are left
free to improve what they deem to be
opportunities, and public utility has
the right, under the statutes, TO issue
whatever bonds and stocks may be
necessary to carry out corporate pow
ers, acquire property, construct and
extend facilities and maintain and i'm
prove service. The commission has no
discretion to refuse to certify such
securities"
This law was laid down in the suit
of the Kansas City, Kaw Valley &
Western Railway Company, brought
against the commission to compel it
to allow an additional issue of bonds
to complete the electric line from Kan
sas City to Lawrence. The company
made a survey of the line and asked
for and received a blanket order for
bond and stock issues on a basis of
$4,000 per mile. After completing
the road the company found the line
was about three miles longer than the
original survey and asked for permits
sion to issue bonds and stock to cover
h4
sion denied the application. The COM
pany appealed to the supreme court
for mandamus order to compel the
commission to grant tAe order.
Although the court held that the
commission could not stop the issu-
ance of all securities necessary to pay
the cost of transportation projects, it
denied the writ of mandamus on the
ground that the company had failed
to show that the additional stock and
bonds were necessary for the building
Of the road.

CLAIM A SHORTAGE OF LABOR
Industries Producing Essential War
Materials Threatened by the Lack
of Experienced Wor<men.

Washington, Oct. 13.-The general
shortage of labor in industries that
must be kept going at top speed if the
United States is to throw its whole
strength into the war is giving consid-
cradle concern to government officials.
Conditions in some parts of the coun-
try already threaten production of es-
sential materials.
Large government orders reaching
into every branch Of industry have
stimulated business to an extent never
before known. Coal mines are over
taxed and railroads cannot move the
country's freight. Shipyards are pre-
pairing to turn out as much tonnage
next year as was built in the last dec
ade. Munition factories are searching
the country for men.
