ENDS STATE UTILITIES BOARD
Commission Winds Up Its Work to
Make Way For the New Indus
trial Court.

Topeka-The Kansas public utll1-
ties commission sang its swan song
the other day The commission has
been busy for some time cleaning up
whatever business it had on its dock
ct so that when the new Industrial
court took over the work it would
have a clean slate. w. L. Higgins,
commissioner, appointed a year ago,
is to remain as chairman of the new
industrial court John Kinkel OF
Hutchinson was cleaning out his desk
in Topeka preparatory to opening an
office to handle telephone utilities
matters. G. w Green returns to his
home in Kansas City.
The utilities commission has been
the butt of many jokes and lot of
folks, who lost cases before it, have
exercised the great American privi-
Jege of 'cussing the court" The COM
mission, in its statement, said:
During the last two years of the
existence of the public utilities COM
mission. no order ever made by it has
been set aside by any court for the
reason that the rates fixed were too
high for the public to pay; but in
several instances the orders have
been set aside because the rates fixed
by the commission. in the judgment
of the court, were too low to be COM
pensatory to the utility.
The enemies of the commission
constantly have been referring to it
as ga rate raising bureau" Telephone
electric current. street car and gas
rates have been raised by the commits
sion to some extent, but if any intel
ligent person will take the trouble
to investigate by taking a fairy COM
plete line of foodstuffs used by the
average family and estimate the aver
age increase Of prices in the last few
years, and the same way with cloth
ing and fuel he will find that the per-
centage of increase is at least double
the percentage of increase in any of
the services of public utilities within
this state
One thing, therefore, is clear-the
public utilities commission of Kansas
has prevented profiteering wherever it
had power to do so.
