the interstate commerce commission
such jurisdiction as had been con-
ferred upon it over the telegraph
and telephone lines and incorporate
ing 1t in the new commission.
Broad Authority Conferred
The authority conferred Is very
broad and similar to that conferred
upon the interstate commerce COM
mission over the railroads. The pro-
visions cover all interstate lines and
foreign lines where transmission by
radio originates in the United States
or Is received by the United States,
and where in the case Of cable lines
there Is hook-up with American
lines. Rate schedules, classifications,
and regulations have to be filed with
the commission. which Is also given
the right to establish physical con-
nection with other carriers, through
rates and charges. and to provide for
the operation Of these through routes.
Reports also have to be made annu-
ally OF salaries and bonuses paid,
amounts paid for improvements, and
the companies must submit to any
inquiry into the management the
commission may institute.
The commission, when It Organized
in July, 1894, divided itself into three
divisions broadcasting. telegraph, and
telephone. The president had pre-
viously appointed the commission Of
seven members, two Of whom had been
members Of the Federal Radio Com
mission. The law says that no more
than four Of the commissioners shall
be Of the same political party. The
commission started off with $50 Of
the employees OF the radio commits
sion, adding subsequently 100. BY
comparison with the interstate COM
merce commission this seems q small
number. but 1t IS the expectation that
the commission will become as num-
erous and perhaps more so In its en-
ployes and be as important q commits
sion, for the carriers over whom It
has been given Jurisdiction are Of
vast size and an immense future Is
declared to be before them. These
great carriers will have to be val
ued. as have been the railroads, for
rateN making purposes. Many millions
Of dollars were expended by the inter-
state commerce commission on these
valuations, which extended over 20
years and engaged several thousand
persons in the work.
When congress was debating the
federal communications act it was told
that the capitalization of the tele-
phone was over $1,000, O00, 900: OF the

THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
Washington, d. c., Oct. 12.-(Pe
The Federal Communications Com
mission was established by Congress.
upon request of President Roosevelt,
r. 1894 to province central authority
over communications in the land by
wire and radio. More specifically,
the idea was and is to make avail
eble to the people rapid, efficient,
nationwide and worldwide service
in this line, with adequate facilities
and reasonable charges, and to ar
range for the national defense in this
duty. The act carried great and all
embracing significance. It was the
recognition by the government, per-
laps tardily, Of vast field Of &C
tivity that affected the nation Wit
ally, and to bring 1t under its pur-
view and control.
On May "a, 1874, there was sent
from the Supreme Court Chamber
III the capitol in Washington to Bait
imore What hath God wrought" as
the first message ever sent over q
telegraph line, which had been in
vented by Samuel F. B. Morse. It
registered the telegraph as an as
sured success. Ninety years after.
the message had grown to l27, OOO, 900
messages as an annual product In
this country alone. Moreover, another
means Of communication had come
to hand, the telephone, which at
that time was estimated to have
transmitted $4,000, 100000 CONVERSE
tons. this in turn to recognize an
other competitor in the radio,
which transmitted 100000 messages
as its annual product.
Surveying the figures and feeling
the ponderables that affected every
man, woman, and child in the land
In this link around the world, in
addition to the government itself.
congress decided to do something
about 1t, and created the commission
r., have direction over the wire and
radio communication services. There
vas ample precedent for so doing.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion had been In existence more
tran so years. but its main work
related to the railroads. Latterly 1t
had been given limited authority
over the wire communication service.
There existed concomitantly the Fed
eral Power Commission with jurisdic-
ton over the power utilities. In 1927
there had been established the Fed
eral Radio Commission with direction
over the radio where wave lengths
had to be allocated to prevent chaos
In that service.
Congress included the radio COM
mission and all Its laws and regula-
tons In the new communications
administration, and added to it COM

TACKLING THE POWER PROBLEM

The old bugabOo of the loss of local
taxes comes up constantly when there
is talk of municipal or government
ownership of public utilities. Sure,
there will be loss Of taxes, but what
matters that when the savings to the
consumers-citizens and taxpayers
under public ownership is several
times the amount paid in taxes by
the utility companies under the old
order. If you save $500 on your light
bill it is easy to pay IS cent tax bill.

Mayor Gehan now proposes to ap-
point a committee of 100 representa-

1T isn't a bad idea, provided a
committee is secured which can re-

STILL AT 1T

Who is to be the next state auditor
of Minnesota? Will it be a King
or Lyons?
Stafford King is the incumbent and
a Republican. and John T. Lyons Is
the Farmer-Labor candidate.
Rarely ever is a statewide contest
for votes as close as the battle be-
tween the two Minnesota "Scandinav-
ians" of the Emerald Isle this year.
1t is now more than week since
the voters marked their ballots and
the unofficial counts have shown King
leading one day only to lie outdis-
tanced by Lyons the next day, and
so on, back and forth. The returns
were rather slow in coming in.
The Minneapolis Journal, anxious
to have a Republican majority on
the State Executive Council, reported
last night in a streamer heading
across the front page that King Is
Elected on Complete Returns" They
may be right and they may be wrong,
time will tell. OF course no one can
blame them for expressing their
wishes in the matter.
Without the official vote from five
counties The Journal reported that
King was ahead by 1899 votes.
The state canvassing board. meet
ing next Tuesday, will make the final
official report on the outcome.
Chances are that if there is less
than 1000 votes difference in the Of
fetal report, a recount will be asked
for by the candidate with the minor
