uncle twelve years ago left the
boy, then nine years old, four
million dollars. The interest was
to accumulate and be paid to him

the company. you'd hear 20 much
noise about unconstitutionality and L.
legal procedure that you'd wonder why
the commission was at large.
Well. what In sauce for the goose n
sauce for the gander. II the commits
sion couldn't MAKE the two COM
panies do this thing, how In the world
can it legally PERMIT them to do II?
That's the question which Mr.. Cham
berlin has put up TO the commission.
and II Is one which should give them
considerable pause.
Here's another one of his potent
points:
More Than Reasonable.
The law and the court decisions re-
quire the commission TO fix rates on
all utilities which will give them "a
reasonable return on the fair value of
their property used and useful In the
conduct OF the business"
On the Sh cent rate the power com
pany is already making ISL per cent
on its fair value.
To give 1t q higher rate would give
II an UNREASONABLE return, and
would consequently, violate the Law
and the court rulings.
Nevertheless, that Is exactly what
the Washington Railway and Electric
asks II TO do-violate the law and re-
pudiate the courts. And II asks that
in order that the company may pull a
badly exploited street railway system
out Of the hole that its own past bad
management and judgment got 1t into.
Reject The Proposition.
Incidentally, from the standpoint

Mr.. Chamberlain has performed an
other valuable service He repre-
sents what are known as the Class

would be a serious blow to Wash
ington industry, which Is having
hard work to keep its head above
water and has no Governmental
board like the utilities commission
to guarantee 1t . profit and protect
Il from loss.
Furthermore he has shown, what I
