WASHINGTON, Oct. 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. If we do not
resist this extension, what becomes
of that fundamental freedom and
j independence that can rise only
from local self-government?"

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

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.' Tho American
people have not forgotten how to
take care of themselves."
