On the Other Hand
Finds Power Companies Seeking
Return to DAYS of Sam insult

ties now subject to Federal regula-
ton. It is notoriously true that
virtually no State is equipped or can
be equipped to handle such regula-
ton. But one of the Miller bills
would give the States authority over
the development of watersheds and
all water resources within their bor-
ders, regardless of what effect that
might have on other States or whole
contiguous regions.
Accounting Practice.
This bill, taken in conjunction
with bill by Representative Byrnes,
Republican, of Wisconsin, also being
considered, would take away from
the Federal Government its present
supervision Of accounting practices
in the case of the utilities trans
ferred to State regulation.
Probably nothing more useful has
been accomplished by the Federal
Power Commission than the job it
has done in the past is years in
cleaning up the books of the utility
companies. The commission Is pre-
pared to demonstrate that it has
eliminated more than $1,400, ,000, 900
of water from utility stock issues
during that time. This has made
possible the reduction Of power and
light rates throughout the country.
Not only that, it has made utility
stocks a much sounder investment.
The commissions seal Of approval
on any company's books has come
to be the best argument brokers
have to offer in dealing with widows
and orphans.
Our memories are short, but pad
ding of accounts, outrageous write
ups" and imitation of expenditures
to affiliated concerns were once COM
mon practices in the utility business.
Our memories are indeed short. We
have almost forgotten Sam insult,
Howard Hopson and others Of their
breed. The legislation sought by
the power companies and being
gravely considered by the House
Interstate Commerce Committee
seems calculated to bring us new
crop of insults and Hopsons.

Appeal to Ii berals
Steps Being Taken to Build Third Party
To Be Launched After Conventions

about a fourth Of the States keer
third parties of the ballot. In the
others various conditions have to be
met, that are both expensive and
time consuming.
California Pea conferees fo1
example will circulate petitions i'm
mediately. They must have 100000
signatures before they can get on the
ballot next March. The broken
Democratic Party situation there
encourages them: Ed Pauley, who
is not Undersecretary Of the Navy
but is still national committeeman
is at odds with State Chairman
James Roosevelt; both he and Mr.
Roosevelt are at odds with the
Wallace faction.
All this lends force to former Gov
Landon's argument that Mr.. Wallace
and third party can unmake two
Presidents by sinking the Demo
Gratis and giving the Republicans ar
assurance Of victory that cuts much
ground from beneath their leading
contender, Gov. Dewey.
If Mr.. Landon is right also that
international issues will control ir

say brave enough" because 1t
would take a fearful amount OF
courage to fly thus in the face OF
tradition. A man who stayed home
on the Fourth, and who enjoyed
! comfortable dinner in his dining
room, and then retired at a sensible
hour, would be a pariah as soon
as word got around to his &C
quaintances.
1t Is an unwritten law in this
country that every one must dc
something on the Fourth-and the
more uncomfortable that some
thing" is, the better. England lost
the Revolutionary War, yes, but II
has had the satisfaction of seeing
that victory of ours make millions
Of Americans miserable each year
Once Minor Affair.
The picnic-that most question
able of pleasures-was a minor af-
fair in the lives of men until the
Fourth became a holiday. Now
millions and millions Of Americans
feel duty bound to spend one of the
hottest days of the year out in the
sun, eating food they wouldn't feed
to the cat on normal days; acting
