 washington. Sept. N-Bewild- sring swirls and eddies. stirred into motion months as6. still trouble the political seas as tho parties ap- proach the necessity of choosing definitely what course they will sail. for better or for worse, in the cam paign for the presidency.
 The recent clearer definition of issues, and . measurable reveal ment of the personal qualities of the candidates, have not quieted the raging cros-currents of controversy. Each presidential nominee continues to lose the allegiance of members of his own party circle. and to gain re- cruits from the opposition. Con- dieting reports. puzzling rumors of good and evil import. and real poli- tical surprises follow one another in constant procession. Candidates and their managers are torn among many schools of advice.
 Hard Campaign
 Manifestly, even the ampler cam paigu funds proposed for 1923 can- not be spread out effectually over the whole of tho country. By ono method or another, those in charge of party destinies must hit upon a plan of action that will concentrate their efforts at the points of great ct promise. Similarly, the candt- dates themselves must sort out the states into which they will person. ally carry the party gospel. Each is urged from within his own ? -rty to lend the help of his presence n states usually marked olf as hope- less by ono side or tho other It the outset of the campaign.

urges REGULATION
Of ALL UTILITIES
New Type Of Control Suggested
BY Professor Ruesl4

Chicago. Dec. % (uP)-A differ
ent type of regulation for public
utilities than has been suggested be-
fore was urged by Prof. C. o. Rug
giles of Harvard university at a
meeting of the American political
economy association here today.
Professor Ruggles spoke to the
American Economic association sec
ton of the general annual meeting
This regulation would call for the
establishment of number of fed
eral regional commissions which
would control the activities of pub
lie utilities within the zones be-
tween state and federal jurisdic-
tons. Professor Ruggles said the re-
gional commissions would pass on
questions beyond state jurisdiction
and a general federal public utilities
commission could be appealed to
from decisions of the federal re-
gional commissions.
To objection that such new COM
missions would mean more red tape,
Professor Ruggles advised this argu-
ment:
Not Easy
ut is not easy to understand how
utilities which have expanded their
kilowatt ca pacity in a 20-year period
by LOO per cent output by $500
per cent and increased their own
employees by 400 per cent can be
regulated by the same number or
type of agencies which were in exis-
tence when the industry was much
less complex"
I'm view of the fact that the bust
ness of the electric power and light
utilities involves many technical
problems, it would appear that fed
eral regional missions would be
superior to a highly centralized con-
troll such as we have developed un-
der the interstate commerce COM
mission for railroads."
That action should be taken only
after a scientific study of the prob
lem. Professor Ruggles said.
Prof. Calvin b. Hoover, Of Duke
university, Durham, N. c.. speaking
to the American Statistical associa-
ton, which also is meeting In con-
junction with the Political Economy
association, pointed out that growth
of brokers' loans in the bull Wall
street market OF the last two years
has not drained the bank credit of
the country into New York.

WORK STARTED ON
 NEW PROVINSE BUILDING

Work on the new store build ing of Egdar Provinse started this week and the structure which will replace the fine building lost in the recent dis astrous fire is expected to be ready for the resumption of business early next week.
 The building will be 60 x 60 feet and will possess quite the largest floor space of any busi- ness structure in Hyder. Pres ent plans provide for but one story, although Mir. Provinse informs the Herald that a sec ond story may be added be- fore he is through. The struct- ure will be divided into three sections, one of which will be occupied by the living quarters of Mir. Provinse and his family. The second will be devoted to merchandise, while the third will be occupied by an up to date meat market, which will be operated by MT. Provinse in conjunction with the P. Burns Company, former local meat purveyors, whose establishment was also de- stroyed by the big fire.
 The meat market annex will be equipped with modern cold storage facilities capable of meeting local demands for 8 long time to come and will be in charge of James Roberts, manager of the old market.
 During his recent visit in the States MT. Provinse purchased a fine front for the new struct- ure, in addition to securing a complete stock of merchan. disc.
