Keep the Public Service Commission

With the anti-primary bill laid to rest for a
while at least, the next struggle in the general
assembly will be the repeal of the public serv-
ice commission and the restoration of the old
state railroad commission and the right of cities
to grant franchises to utility companies.
The people hope that the general assembly
will not be led astray by the agitation that has
been raised against the commission. Funda-
mentally the commission rests on sound govern
mental basis that gives protection to the people.
No one seriously believes that the average
city council can handle the question of utility
rates with the judgment and business acumen
which the members of the commission have
shown. That power should remain in the hands
of the men who have treated the consumers
fairly and at the same time have dealt justly
with the utility companies.
1t is true that rates were raised in the last
years. but prices of commodities increased during
this period, so that the utility companies are not
isolated cases showing price increases. And it is
also true that when prices return to a lower
basis, cities may obtain reduced utility sched-
ules by appealing to the commission for reduc-
TONS
Why do some city councils want the privilege
of reducing rates? Many of us know that under
the old franchise system many city councils were
controlled by utility companies who made the
election of councilmen their business, in order
that they might obtain long time franchises at
excessively high rates The abuses in this con-
nection were causes that led to the establishment
of the commission.
We believe the city council has all it can do
to attend to the ordinary matters of municipal
government without trying to solve utility ques-
tions. The public service commission is the body
that should handle this matter.
