municipalities and states are given authority to regu-
late the rates charged by public utilities, and to re-
quire that the service rendered by them be equivalent
to a reasonable demand. Likewise it is for this reason
that public utility concerns, although privately owned
and managed. are required b. law to secure franchises
before setting up operation in any municipality. In
theory as we'll as in fact, the public utility's rates and
service are not controlled by the ordinary means Of
competition, but b. public regulation, to which all
public utilities have submitted a. a necessary accom-
paniment to the operation Of their business enterprise
IS. The law grants to utilities monopolistic rights;
the utilities yield completely to legal regulation.
These facts should be kept in mind as we consider
the important and interesting question Of utility fran
chises, which has been 50 widely discussed BY Brown
wood people in recent months. Authority to grant
franchises for the operation Of public utilities. which
is vested in the city council. Is accompanied By a re-
sponsibility for the proper exercise of that authority.
To deny a franchise to a utility which. BY reason Of
its own ability to serve and the communitys need for
the service it can give. is entitled to a right to oper-
ate in the community, j. a. serious a mistake as to
grant a franchise 10 a utility which is not needed or
cannot give service that is needed. Every applicant
for a utility franchise. therefore, has a right to a fair
and impartial hearing Of his petition, but no appli-
cant for a utility franchise has a right to insist upon
the privilege Of operating in a community in which
It's service is not needed, or in which it could not pro-
vide a service il needed.
The question OF granting franchises to public utili-
ties is a question OF public service and public demand
for service. Il does not properly include the protec-
tion Of property investments Of established utilities.
II does not properly include comparison of the rates
Of established utilities and proposed utilities. II does
rot properly include the considerations that usually
govern business competition.
If Brownwood's present public utilities are capable
Of giving adequate public service, at a fair and rea-
sonable cost to the public. then there is no need for
duplication Of any Of them. II any Of the present
public utilities are not capable Of giving satisfactory
service, at a reasonable cost, then the city council is
justified in deciding that there is q need for duplica-
tion. II such a need exists, the city council is obli-
gated to determine, beyond the venture Of a doubt.
that applicants for duplicate franchises are able sat
isfactorily to supply the need through a period Of
years, before granting a franchise which will give
the community a duplication Of service in any utility.
1t is not a political matter, ought never to become
a political issue, and can never be settled BIZ politics.

all. especially extending mercy to those who by our
careless methods are caught in distressing, heart

immigration force Is not large enough to properly do
so.
Examine every prospective immigrant, physically

sure that all who are in the future to become Ameri-
can citizens, IRE endowed physically. mentally. and in
all ways 10 make good American citizens. In order to
this, the foreign inspection by technical

Want Legalized Rubber Trust

Legislation which would permit American COM
ranies to organize . peel or trust" for the purchase
II rubber as a means Of preventing the operation Of
foreign monopol.es has received the endorsement Of
the American Automobile association. The Webb
Pemerere act. now pending before congress, would
leg1Ii.e the proposed pool by permitting the import
companies az the United States 10 pool their interests
the same as export companies are already permitted
70 Do.
Officials " tie American automobile association
assert that unless this bill is passed and the rubber
pool lagalized. the foreign monopoly Will remain in
control If the situation and can levy upon American
consumers any price it may desire.
Ire rubber market in the United States was stabil-
lied yo some extent last year through the organiza-
ton Of a small pool by manufacturers. There was a
range cf only 2 ce ~ per pound during the year, and
proponents of the W~e5--pomerene act contend that II
3 pool q the Zig importers can be legalized the price
,aa lr stabilized and the efforts oI the foreign
morooclv 10 levy tribute On American consumers will
fa.l. TIC Sherman act prevented pooling Of the inn
porters.
Las: year a buying group Of American manufacture
ers. which included some Of the largest consumers Of
rubber " tie country. was formed III keeping with the
restrictions e the sherman act and other regulations.
The effect q this s1ali pool In s.abiizing the rubber
market was at once very apparent. The saving effect
ed for the users Of automobile tires and other rubber
products ran into the millions Of dollars.
The Sherman Act serves a very useful purpose,
bat like all other measures Of that nature changing
conditions create a situation which call for amend
ments. The law was not intended 70 place the Ameri-
can public at the mercy Of foreign monopolies. 1t
was primarily intended TO prevent domestic moropo-
lies. but made no provision to meet q condition such as
now exists in the rubber industry. If a pool Of the
importers will solve the problem confronting the in
dustry. a problem created by a foreign monopoly, it is
m~anifestly the duty Of congress to make the necessary
provisions whereby a pool OF the importers may BE
legally organized.
Unless something is done to prevent foreign
monopoly Of rubber, the American public will be COM
PEELED to continue paying its toll on all rubber used in
this country, and IL congress has III within its power
10 remedy this situation there should be no hesitancy
in taking action.
