"A series of talks to the Good Citizen by the Public Utility)
How Public Utilities
 Are Regulated
CHAPTER "

HHE Arizona Corporation Commission, a commission of three men, elected for SIX
 years by popular vote,- regulates all of the operations of the Public Service Com panies within the state. This Commission was created by the Constitution of the State It is authorized by statute to fix just and reasonable rates and rules of service, to prescribe the manner Tn which the Companies accounts shall be kept and to regulate the issuance of their securities. THE regulating commissions, in fixing l proper rates, make a physical inventory and valuation of all the property used by a public service company. A company may have stocks and bonds issued which are greatly in excess of the value of the prop erty, but such a condition does not affect rates After determining a valuation of the property, the Commission then fixes rates which will enable the Company to earn its operating expenses, to set aside reserve to replace the poles pipes and other items which wear out, and to earn req sonable return on the value of the property, which the Commission has determined.
 THE Corporation Commission has vast
 l power which can be used for good or for great harm of the State. If the Con- mission permits the Public Service Com pany to charge too high rates, the public and the state suffer. If it yields to ignor- ant public clamor and reduces a public utility's rates below the point where it can prosper, the Company is unable to attract new capital to it's business, cannot keep it's property in good repair and is unable to give good service The resultant made quate and inferior service reflects detri- mentally upon the State. The Good Citizen will insist that the Corporation Commission so regulates the public utilities of the State that the rates will be fair to the public and at the same time adequate to enable the companies to attract new capital and give good service.
