UTILITIES TO DECIDE
FRANCHISE QUESTION
Law Decision Compulsory July
1-PIan Favorable and
UnfaVorabIe.
News-Times Special Service :

! news INES special service.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May ls.-
Within the next six weeks the pub
lie utilities of the state will have
TO make a final decision whether TO
surrender their franchises and oper-
ate under indeterminate permits
from the public service commission.
Many OF the utilities already have
surrendered their franchise rights
and accepted indeterminate permits
Under the terms of the state law,
the decision Of all utilities must be
made by July 1. 1917.
Many utilities are now debating
the advisability of surrendering
their franchises. The state law,
under which they may accept in
determinate permits, provides if the
law is repealed after the companies
have surrendered their franchises,
they shall have a franchise right
for a minimum of five years under
the original franchise.
So many big companies are In
quandary. The indeterminate per-
NIT gives a utility some advantages.
The commission takes exclusive con-
troll of the utilities. can fix rates,
supervise the issuance of securities,
etc. But the utilities also are pro-
tected against ruinous competition
so long as the commission holds
competition is undesirable. De-
pending on the action of the COM
mission, the indeterminate permit
may give the corporation INFINITE
life and permit il to make a fair
amount of money without the wor-
ries of competition.
What the utilities fear is the pos
sibility that the legislature will re-
peal the law. and thus leave them
without the protection of their long
franchises. Utility officials are
watching a case from LOganspOrt
now in the supreme court, in which
the indeterminate permit is invOlv-
ed It is hoped that the court will
esta blish the entire authority of the
commission when an indeterminate
permit is granted and what rights
will be gained by the utility surren-
dering its franchise.

turists and Woodcutters. ~

The Slovaks are Slavs. The Mag
yars are not. The Slovaks are a
people belonging to the west branch
of the Slav family. They are chiefly
located in northwest Hungary and
Moravia, but they are also to be
found in Lower Austria, Slavonia
and Bukowina. About three-fourths
Of them are Roman Catholics. Their
language was dialectal form of
Czech, and Czech was used in all
their writing until the end of the
eighteenth century, when the Slovak
dialect began to be used in writing.
The Slovaks are principally agricul-
turists and woodcutters. They num-
Der about 100000. So far as is
known, the Slovaks occupied their
present territory about the fifth or
sixth century, together with land
stretching far to the south. When
the Magyars conquered the kingdom
Of Great Moravia in 907, the Slovaks
were a part of that country; the
Magyars displaced or assimilated the
southern Slovaks and have, with
brief Interruptions, ruled the rest
ever since. In 1849-49, when the
Magyars rose against Austria, the
Slovaks in turn rose against the
Magyars, but on the treaty of peace
were handed back to them. The
Magyars are a Finno-Ugrian or
Finno-Turki people, descendants of
the race who, about $50, moved from
the Ural region to the Volga, and
after a long sojourn on the Russian
steppe were driven westward to OBJ
tain a permanent footing, before the
close of the ninth century, in the ba-
sin of the middle Danube.
