k.D.RALWAYb BOARD
OPPOSING FEDERAL
UTILITIES CONTROL
Circular Setting Out Reasons Is
Being Sent Out; Fears Over
assumption Of Power

Statement of the reaSonS why it Is
opposed to the proposal to grant
jurisdiction over such public utilities
as telephone and electric campaigns
to q federal commission Is being cir
culated throughout North Dakota by
the State Railroad board.
The proposal. against which the
North Dakota commission and other
state regulatory bodies arc aligned,
is contained in a bill offered in the
senate by Senator Couzens of Michi-
gan. It would grant to a federal ON
mission power over public utilities
similar to the powers exercised over
transportation companies by the In
terstate Commerce commission.
The document being circulated by
the North Dakota commission is a
brief prepared for the national asso-
citation of railroad and utilities COM
missioners by John E. Benton. its
general counsel.
It alleges that federal courts always
construe federal enactments in such
n way as to broaden the powers Of
federal commissions beyond the pow
ers which the legislation was intend
cd to give them. It cites numerous
cases in which the powers of the In
terstate Commerce commission have
been broadened by court decisions
and predicts that creation of a fed
cral commission to regulate public
utilities will result in the same ex-
perience as that which the states
have had with the Interstate Com
merce commission.
The document asserts that state
commissioners 'have little faith that
language. included in any statute. de-
signed for the preservation Of state
powers. will prove c~fficacious for that
purpose when subjected to the con-
struction of federal commissioners
and courts"
The Couzens bill would give to the
commission 1t proposes to create
jurisdiction owe radio stations. The
state railroad boards are not opposed
to that idea. the brief states. The
document contains Is t-?ewritten
pages and is being sent to congress-
men. senator's and such other indi-
viduals as the state commission feels
would be interested In opposing pas
sage of the bill.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. louis z. Risch.

A THOUGH social service, as
- such, has become a pro-
fession in itself, every person
should seriously consider GER
tain aspects Of this work that
have q personal Importance.
For one thing, it is a mistake
to believe that attending to
our primary duty of caring for
our immediate families as best
we can is sufficient. Un-
doubtedly it gives the greatest
satisfaction, but that alone can
make us narrow and selfish!
And no one who Is narrow and
selfish gets the most or the
best out of life!
Only by helping and taking
an interest in our fellow men
do we round out our lives and
make them full and rich. You
cannot be a law unto yourself
or even unto your own family.
What affects others directly or
indirectly affects you.
The conditions existing in
your community reflect you, as
q member Of that community!
If they are bad, your sons
and daughters inevitably be-
come more or less contaminated
by them. If they are good,
your children. in turn, benefit.
The three great forces that
influence individuals the most
are work, recreation and living
conditions.
Here are fields you can inter-
est yourself in. Here are op-
portunities Of a varied kind
that can give that enrichment
we all need.
Put aside your intimate
duties, your personal prejudices
and go out and help somebody
else!
Give others at least some Of
your time and attention. Share
your advantages with them.
Help them, at least through ad-
vice in shouldering their heavy
burdens.
It's a delightful feeling Of sat-
isfaction to know you have been
instrumental, even in part, in
righting q wrong, or correcting
some flagrant nuisance. or of
lending a helping hand to some
human being.
BY contrast you enjoy more
the advantages you already
have. Or, by finding someone
afflicted as you yourself are,
you realize with qualification
that you are not exceptional.
There are many ways Of per-
forming a little social service.
Nor is it always among the poor
that good deeds can be done.
Many So-called "white-cOllar''
workers would be grateful for
advice based upon experience or
scientific knowledge which will
help them to see through their
problems and point q way out
Of the mental moraSS In which
so often they find themselves
entangled.
Witness the popularity of the
Y. M. C. A. type Of work. 1t ap-
peals to rich and poor alike. 1t
is social service on q large SyS-
teHnatic and mountaineering
plan. E
A banker. for instance, would
be q valuable adviser to those
who are In financial trouble.
A business executive could
help many who have Epe yet
found Themselves.
