U.A plea against surrender of local gov ernment prerogative to federal au thority was nude here tonight by Secretary Hoover in an address to tie national Association of Kail road and Utilities Commissioners. "Our government," Mr. Hoover aid, "was devised In spirit to sus tain a dual purpose to protect our people among nations by a great national power and to preserve in dividual freedom by local self gov ernment. "If we are to stretch the Inter state Commerce provision in the Constitution to regulate all those things that pass state lines, we snail automatically absorb to fed eral authority most of the govern ment that lie within stale lines, because our economic life has be come ao enmeshed that there la no longer lhat easy conception of our forefathers of what, constituted in terstate commerce.

Miut iniertaie problems arise only whete the activities of the operaling compiinies extend beyon.l state lines. They full into two classes, first, where the same com pany is engaged In generation anil distribution over a district embrac ing pans of two or more states, and second, where an operating company purctawses power generat ed in a foreign state the latter In stance also embracing the "inter connection'' between districts king in different states. As to the tni class, it bus been well established by the courts in analagons in stances that the state commissioiis have the power unit authority tu t.stablls)i 'reasonable rates' lotlir consumers whether the property may be wholly within the state or not. These esses take care toil.iy of the large, proportion of the ln percent asing our stale lines. There remains, therefore, a mimII fraction of the problem, where ilie distributing company buys i"ier by Interconnection, or otherwise from outside lite state. Here i fit question U simply as to wleitu r tlte rate paM lor the purctnseil Iwer is reasonnble. If unica.-.liable, tbe commission may relume to allow Its full amount lit sel l :.g the rale base. It Is open to uo commission to fix a rale for resale to consumers within Its jur.s'i'c tlon based upon what the loiiniiLs sion consider a fair price. State Control Cnough Now. "It is difficult lo conceive ,.f a situation which, to far as r i' Uc Interest goes, could not be von. ttolled In this simple and effective manner. It in the passage of time and tbe accumulation of experience tbe unexpected, either economic or legal, should happen and we find an occupied field requiring regula tion. It will be time enough then ; to talk of federal control. No such contlition exists today or ia apparent In the future. ! "Tho third contention la that some of the states have not or will not set up adequate machinery for protection of public Interests. Ilut fedem? encroachment for this rea son Is the ultimate extinction of local government. i "Te fourth contention Is that this evolution of the Industry has developed 'trusts' wRich do or will defy public Interest. I am perfect- j ly confident that American states j are not going to surrender their ' rights and their freedom to any trust' or 'trusts.'
