aside or to be fixed by the commits
sion should be terminated and set
aside; that all franchises between
the city and company as they con-
flct with the new schedule of rates
be terminated.
That within 20 days the company
shall file with the commission copies
of all contracts in conflict with the
new schedule and the city file
with commission copies of franchises
in conflict with the new schedule.
The commission formally orders
that:
Conflicting contracts be filed with
in 20 days by city and company.
That the new schedule of rates be
filed within 10 days from date of the
order, June IS, 1920.
That if the company fails so to
file new schedule on the per cent
net earnings basis the commission
will fix a reasonable rate.
In an attached opinion the public
service commission says that the
company challenged the jurisdiction
of the commission to make an order
effecting its rates for electric en-
SISy SOIu DIS pONSl anu IOl PO"SI
purposes.
The defense, the opinion states,
is based on the Spokane-lnland EN-
pire Railroad company case. The
commission, says, in its opinion, the
court in that case had in mind that
the sale of surplus or dump power
should not be considered a public
use but one subject to any DISPOSE
ton the company might be able to
make Of it and upon such terms as
the company saw fit to sell it. De-
NAL of jurisdiction over power sales
imposes a handicap on the commits
sion, it is recited, making it almost
impossible to fix fair rates were
the commission denied the right to
make adjustments. The courts have
made distinction between public and
private uses.
For the Householder
The time has arrived, the opinion
says, when such public use of power
should be technically considered a
public use and subject to the COM
missions regulation.
The commission fails to see the
distinction between power sold to the
householder for lighting his rooms,
for running his washer, for heating
his electric irons, and power sold to
the manufacturer for driving ma
chinery in his factory. This is Com
missioner Turner's contention.
The time has passed when power
sold to manufacturers may be differ
entiated from power sold to house
holders. There is as much Of a pub
lie necessity for power to run the
machinery of a modern laundry as
there is to run a washing machine
or electric iron in the home.

THE PRODUCERS
NATIONAL BANK

The Union Record of last Satur-
day, the 10th, says;
Plans which practically assure the
speedy opening of the proposed Pro-
ducers' National Bank were COM
pleted today.
Following Endorsement of the bank
by the state grange, the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, local oranges and
local labor organizations, as well as
individual leaders of thought along
every constructive liberal line, the
Listman Service Company, a coop
erative investment concern, has Of
fered to devote an entire week to
the promotion of the bank.
The Listman Service Company, of
which George p. Listman is the head,
has a statewide organization-siX
offices and a force of some rs men
being constantly employed.
Listman promised Friday to turn
the entire organization to the work
of selling to the producers of the
state stock in their own bank. He
declared that he had made a flying
trip to all the offices of his concern
and had found the men in each of
flee enthused over the prospect of
putting in a week for the benefit of
the workers and farmers.
The proposed Producers National
Bank was started some time ago in
Seattle at meeting attended by
representatives from various liberal
groups in the city. Frank A. Rust,
of the Trades Union Savings & Loan
Association; Robert Bridges, beloved
by the workers and farmers alike
and Jack Conway were appointed a
permanent committee to establish the
bank.

contrary view of the law; the tax
pavers also will not forget that 1t
was Mr.. Sherwood who was largely
instrumental in urging the vote of
five per cent bonds for the purpose
of taking up and cancelling a han
million dollars worth of city war
rants drawing eight per cent inter
est and that the people voted III
favor of the bonds, which effected a
saving of S15,00000 a year in inter-
est or the difference between eight
per cent and five per cent. on han
million dollars.
Another point that Mr.. Sher-
woods friends call attention to Is
that he made a successful IlghI IN
the courts to compel the hiring Oh
the extra men provided for by vote
of the people, to be added to the
fire department in order that two
platoons could be provided in the
department, and that those working
practically twenty-four hours day
could have some time for rest and
relaxation and to spend with then
families. 1t will also be recalled
that he drew the complaint demand
ing a reduction in light rates al
though the public service commits
sion since then seems to have taken
their time about finally deciding the
matter. 1t was Sherwood also, who
conducted the fight before the public
service commission for a reduction
of fares on the Everett-Seattle Inter
urban railroad, and induced them to
make written findings to the effect
that the fares were excessive and
should be reduced, although the COM
mission later failed to make the
necessary order to put their find
ings into effect.
Considering Mr.. Sherwoods quail
fications, from the standpoint Of edu-
cation, fairness, temperament, hon
esty and legal ability and his dis
position to serve the needs of all the
people, his friends argue that he
has every reason to expect the sup
port of the people at the polls in
September.

The stock and hog sale at Mitchell
last week was largely attended but
the prices did not run quite as high
as they did a year ago. This is doubt.
lees due to the fact that prices Of
stock and hogs in the market are
much lower. In spite of the lower
prices the total sales aggregated $38-
260. There were 90 head of cattle
sold. the average price being over
$225 per head. At previous sales
the bulls have taken the lead but this

ND, HoMME COUNTY, THURSDAY JANUARY y les,

there is ah important distinction be-
tween the guafahtee Of dividends to a
railroad company and d guarantee Of
q per cent Of profit to the farmer or
the business man. The government
fixes the railroad rates and thus de.
termines the possible income of the
.oads. If this ia to be done, it is
only Reasonable that 9 limit should be
made to the possible reduction in
rates. 1t is true that the courts have
universally held that the roads are
entitled to make.a net profit of z per
cant nn their inveatment, and in cage
the interstate commerce commission
should fix the rates 80 low that this
amount could not be realized the rail.
road companies could doubtless force
revision by legal process, but this
would not be determined until after a
loss had been incurred, and without
guarantee the roads could not recover
on the loss already suffered.

]. j. Murphy, one of the state
railroad commissioners. gave an in
teresting talk to the Grain Dealers
Association at Aberdeen last week,
on transportation. Mr.. Murphy is
opposed to some of the provisions
both of the Cummins and the Esch
railroad bills now before congress.
Both Of these proposed laws would
place the governmental control Of the
railroads almost entirely in the hands
Of the interstate commerce Commits
sion. and would usurp the authority
of the state boards. This he believes
would be revolutionary and unwise.
He also opposes the plan to consoli-
date the competing linee, as this
would destroy competition. which
stimulates good service. The plan of
having the government guarantee a
five and one e.half or six per cent divi.
dend on the stock he also thinks is
wrong. and would be no more justi-
fled than a guarantee to tie farmer
of an interest on his investment.
There ia an argument in support of
Mr.. Murphy's contentious, but he
fails to explain what measures he
would propose as substitutes. That
consolidation Of the lines would de-.
stroy competition is apparent, tut
without consolidation it is equally
manifest that uniform ratea could not
be maintained. The cost Of operat-
ing in proportion to the income must
vary WIDELY on the different lines.
The short lines, or feeders can not
handle traffic at the same rates as the
through lines. on account Of the short
hauIs and The limited traffic. THE
would necessitate charging higher
rates and that would place the people
who were unfortunate enough to live
on rhort line at q disadvantage in
