INSTRUCTIONS ON
INFLUENZA CASES
ISSUED BY STATE
Precautions Urged To Avoid
Recurrence Of The
Epidemic.

Because Of the sporadic recur
renee of the influenza epidemic
throughout West Virginia as well
as in Martinsburg, Instructions
have been issued by the state de-
partment of health at Charleston to
physicians here as to precautions
to be taken. Although only a few
cases OF influenza have been re-
ported in Martnsburg during the
past few months, a fresh outbreak
Of the disease in a mild form would
not be surprising at any time.
The instructions issued to local
physicians by the state department
OF health read:
"All physicians should report to
the health officer all cases Of dis
ease suspected TO be influenza.
Ceases having symptoms Of this
disease should be carefully isolated,
and the houses placarded.
THE use Of masks and the disin-
lection Of hands should be prac-
ticed by those in attendance on
cases Of influenza or cases suspect
er Of being influenza.
"Sfeps 81 ould be taken to effect

raj and nursing care for Influenza

Of schools may do good.

Individuals should endeavor to I'M
prove their vital resistance by care
full attention to the laws of health,
and nothing will contribute more TO
this than sleeping with windows
widely open.
Those sick with influenza should
early be confined to bed and kept
there for several days after all
fever has disappeared. In this way
no doubt many cases Of pneumonia
will be prevented.
"Cr)wds should be avoided by
all, as patients in the incipient
stages, the disease may be present
and in this way influenza Is often
communicated.
"The closing Of theatres, while 1t.
may diminish the chances Of dis
seminating the disease, cannot be
urged, unless all other public build
ing are also closed, and the concen-
sus Of opinion among sanitarians
is that this is scarcely justified by
the results to be expected. How
ever. all persons can protect them
selves by remaAing away from
theatres and this is strongly ad-
vlsed in communities whore an out
break exists

HUNTINGTON BURIAL
FEES HIGHER SUNDAY

The residents of Huntington have
decided TO avoid, If possible, dying
the latter part of the week In order
to escape Sunday funerals. Mayor
Campbell az part of his campaign
to enforce the Sabbath laws is doing
all he can to discourage such cere.
monies, claiming that ministers have
enough to do that day without Off
ciating at funerals. The city com
missioners, at behest of the mayor,
have raised the price of burial per-
mits so per cent. A six.footer's
grave now will cost $40 on week
days and SIS on Sundays.

COMMISSION IN
1RIOLIc TALK

Special to The Argus.)


Springfield. Ill, Jan. 90. = City
Attorney J. X. Scott OF Rock Island
q / speech today before the joint
convention Of the Illinois home
ruls league and the Illinois munich
nj league in the senate chamber,
charged that under the rule of the
state public utilities commission
al public utilities companies of the
state are put in a favored class,
and that franchise contracts be-
tween the companies and the pub
lie have been held by the commits
sion TO be less than "a scrap OF
paper
"The application Of the public
utilities act has created a class OF
corporations that has had sure
and satisfactory earning power
guaranteed to it by law. This
nlaces public utility corporations in
a favored class by themselves, and
makes the public responsible for
the guarantee" Mr.. Scott declared
"In the regular course Of bust
ness life both individuals and cor
porations have lean years and fat
years, from a financial standpoint;
and the burdens and losses Of the
lean years are balanced over
against the excess profits Of the
fat years. In other words, that
average individual and corporation
must meet losses from former prof
its. However. this very proper
regulation Of affairs does not ap-
ply to the utility corporation. This
very convenient public utilities com
mission has been created, ostensi-
bly, to guard the interests Of the
public, and in theory for a very
high minded and benevolent pur-
pose: but as the law actually works
out in practice it simply means
that the utility corporations are
guaranteed by law that every year
shall be a fat year.
THE public utilities commission
will hold that a utility is entitled
regardless of all losses, to an earn
ing of say per cent on the fail
: value of its physical propertie!
upon a reproduction basis. This
includes a multitude of items, ov.
erhead. deprecated costs, ant
many other intangibles.
"If the earning power of tht
company is not sufficient to give
that rate of profit return, this com
mission. without hesitation, viii
grant leave to increase the com
pany's rate charge until that rat
of profit return is received. Thi!
means that the company may di
vide up all the profits Of the fa
years as divide1ds to stockholders
and does not have to keep a bal
ance on hand to meet the lear
years. for every year must return
the profits that the public utilize:
commission says is fair. AS l have
stated, this law creates a favored
class of corporations that have
profits guaranteed by the public
and that have to be paid by thu
public.
Franchise contracts between
utility corporations and the public
have been held by this commission
to be less than "a scrap Of paper.
Rates agreed on by both sides in
good faith are set aside and the
people who own the streets and
the highways, and who must pay
the toll, have absolutely no con-
troll over the matters at issue. In
