IS AIM
OF FPUBLIcUT|uIT
Suggestion of Commission
/ Stirs Officials to Strive
+ for Economy.

There was every indication today
that washington's public service
corporations are taking seriously the
suggestion of the Public Utilities
Commission that they must have eff
cient management il the commission
is to grant them sufficient rates.
A director in one of the companies
approves so thoroughly of this policy
that he has suggested to the presi-
dent of the company that an eff-
cheney survey be made to determine If
there are any economies which could
be installed that would reduce the
cost of operation.
1t is indicated there will be an
awakened activity on the part of
boards OF directors which will be re-
f1eoted in closer supervision over
operating details. Instead Of accept
ing the reports of the directing Off
cials at their face value. the boards.
it is expected. will show more of a
disposition in the future to probe into
details and satisfy themselves from
first-hand information that the man
agement is all that could be expected
of it.
Will Probe supply Costs.
Investigations to determine whether
the utilities are buying supplies, such
as coal. oil and steel at fair prices
and whether the employees of any
Company have any interest in con-
tracts. are in prospect. Commission
er oyster asked some pointed ques-
tons along this line in the street
car hearings. And it is limited the
matter will not rest here.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association has proposed to the COM
mission that when it is convinced the
management of any public utility is
not what is should be the commission
should recommend that a change be
made in the directing personnel of
the company. In the electric light
and power rate case, now pending
before the commission, this associa-
tion recommended that sufficient
rate be granted so that full RESPONSE
bility for furnishing satisfactory
service would be placed upon the
company.
Emciency to Keep Rates.
The commission has no authority to
compel designations from the roster
of any corporation, but 1t may point
out shortcomings in management in
such a way that the boards of di-
rectors and the stockholders will
realize that they must clean house IL
they expect to obtain sufficient rates
for efficient service. No intimation
has been given that the commission
considers any local utility in need of
a change in management. but it has
become fairly apparent that the COM
mission will not hesitate to talk If il
discovers proof Of inefYicient manage
ment.

British Press Celebrates.
The teroentenary Of the publica

The teroentenary Of the publication
of the first English newspaper was
celebrated recently by tho British
press. Lord Northciiffe reviewed the
three centuries OF journalism in the
British Isles by an article in the Lon
don Times, in which he traced the his
tory of English journalism from the
times OF Caesar and Tacitus down to
the present day.
In commenting upon the growth Of
journalism in Great Britain Lord
Northcliffe expresses amusement at its
s1owness. in view Of the fact that one
is accustomed to regard It as a busi-
ness involving keen initiative, rapid
decision and constant development
and improvement. He wonders that,
with printed matter everywhere sur

er the art OF printing.
Tho Creeks he points out, even

thirst for news, a love OF literature
and = habit Of engraving long inscsip-
did not occur to them to combine the
grattfoation Of those impulses In one
art. That was left to one Of the OBJ
scure generations after the decay OF
Chariemagne's empire, and then per-
haps three centuries elapsed before
the invention of movable types:
In 1890. he says. the Thirty Years

Another Statel
From the Philsdelphia Record.

Some years ago an effort was made
to annex the Idaho panhandle to the
state Of Washington. Mountains sep
arate this northern part of the state
from the rest, and it would be easier
for the population to reach the capital
of Washington, even IL the distance be
greater. Nothing came of it then. In
regard to population Idaho was none
too large to become a state as a whole.
II part Of 1t were attached to Wash
ington the rest feared it's admission to
statehood would be long delayed. Now
the ten northern counties are propos-
ing to secede. not for the purpose OF
annexation to Washington, but to be
erected into another state. We have
settled down on six rows of eight
stars in the corner Of the nag, and 1t
would mess things up q good deal to
have forty-nine states.
