have jurisdiction over municipality

those operated by patrons under

law, are not under Jurisdiction of

they please and when they please

change the rate at will. Among these
are stage lines, auto freight and pas

boats under five-ton burden and fer
iries. The last named, however, are
under the Jurisdiction of county COM
|missioners.
The commission law prohibits dis
elimination and provides that the
rates, rules and regulations of the
utility shall be "just, fair and rea-
sonable" to the patron and 'suffi-
cient" to the utility. These rates and
rules must be filed with the commits
sion. No change can be made until
80 days after filing the same, except
by order of the commission.
The commission does not make the
rates, rules nor regulations for the
utilities, nor is its approval neces-
airy to put them into effect.
The law permits and requires the
utility to make and file its own rates
and rules and changes thereto. The
duty under the act Is
to enforce the law that they must be
discriminatory and be fair, just,
reasonable and sufficient.
The patrons, or commission on its
own motion, may challenge any ex-
listing or proposed rates or rules, in
designations are made, public hear

facts and conditions justify. which
order the utility NUT obey unless set
aside by the courts. Within the 80
day period the commission has power
to suspend the time of taking effect
lof increases, pending investigation
and hearing. The burden of proof
as to reasonableness Of advances is
upon the utility.
Utility patrons have to pay no
fees nor costs for fling complaints,
nor the expense Of hearings. unless
they desire to employ special counsel
or expert witnesses. The attorney
general appears as counsel for the
accomplishments against the utility, and
investigations to discover the facts
are made by the commissions own
engineers and expert. Appeals in
ordinary court cases cost from 500
to $500 or more for transcripts OF
testimony. Appeals from commits
sion orders are without this expense,
as the commission furnishes the man
uscript without cost to the appellant.
The commission has uniformly
contended that efficient service can
not be rendered the public unless the
employees of the utility receive proper
compensation for their services.

Major Monkey thanked him again.
And then he said:

and invite me and lot of people to

What about refreshments?'" Mr..
Grow asked him. "Its easy to see that
you don't know the neighbors, l can
tell you that they have enormous ap-
petites--every one of them"
"Oh! that's easily arranged" said
Major Monkey "Tell everybody to be
sure to have his refreshments before
he comes to the party"
"A good ideal" Mr. Grow exclaimed
With that difficulty removed he was
willing to give paarty, for he quite
liked the prospect of introducing
everybody to "his old friend, Major

you," Major Monkey assured him.
Mr.. Grow said he was glad of that.
And then he asked the Major to keep
out of sight until the time came for
the party to begin.
At first Major Monkey objected.
And not until Mr.. Crow promised to
have the party that very day-an
hour before sunset-did he consent to
hide himself.
