PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
CONSIDERED ENEMY OF PEOPLE
P1oN1NINT CHARLESTON MAN
SAYS "rNTE1ESTs OF PEOPLE
LIE IN FIGHTW9 THE
CoMnHSSIoE"
Was created to protect peoples interests
but protects the companies instead
Ry DWIGHT II. TETER

Charleston, W. Va. Aug. las has
been stated in previous articles 'no
United Fuel Gas Company has aprNed
for an increase ot rates over It's entire
field. which increase amounts arr7"Nl-
mately 10 100 per cent for the cities OF
Charleston and Huntington. Within the
last two weeks the consumers "t gas Al
rectcd by this application have organ
lied for tho purpose OF hghtinS the IN
crease before the Public Service COM
mission. In both Charleston and Hunt
ington there have been many meetings
OF the various civic bodies and III" gas
question has been thoroughly discussed
and some publicity given 70 II in IN"
newspapers. Numerous prominent Law
.rs have been employed 10 represent
tho people. interest and II IL their
ayowed intention to leave NJ st0n" un-
turned In their efforts to call hair III
tho reckless race Of making the poop"
pay"
A prominent man OF Charleston said
the other day in discussing the proposed
increase and the hearing before the fup-
lie Service Commission: The interests
Of the people do not lie In lighting the
United Fuel Gas Company. but In Tight
inE the Public Service Commission. Tor
II Is the commission which has the final
say in what tho rates shall be- THIS Is
the state Of affairs In Charleston ana
I. Is one which should have been r"cog-
nized long ago and which should nave
formed the ha sis for previous nights oF
the consumers 1t Is only falr IN inc
gas companies 10 admit that " is
trait IF human nature to get what the
law allows" and they are not acting In
ltN n
increase at every logical opportunity.
Whether they are justified in doing this
is an entirely different question: but the
fact remains that these companies are
composed Of human beings who are look
Ing after themselves and who f"rl that
they are rcrpetratinR no wrong when
they keen Within the law and take what
tho law allows them
Created for the People
As Il happens the Public Service Com
mission Is the Jaw which regulates III"
earnings OF the gas companies and
which says what they may charge for
gas and what they may not charge. The
public Service Commission was created
primarily to protect the peoples inter
ests and to keep the various PUBLIC
utilities from reapinE n rich harvest
from the people. II there Is any c'r-
sure for the actions and rates OF the
gas companies. or any other public uill-
!ty. the Public Service Commission
should come in for the frSt and greater
portion. for when II Is al! said and dor"
Il Is this commission which permits IN"
gas companies to charge eHorhitah'
rates and commit other actions which
may not meet with general approval Il
Is the Public Service commission which
Is 10 blame. the peoples sole protection.
and not the gas companies. II III" rub
