The world isn't revolutionized as
often as many think it is going to be;
we were thinking of old Luther Bur
bank, his spineless cactus and won
der berry, and all that was expected
from that source, but the list of pro

that.
You hear frequently of a word of
praise, but the condemnation is more

The man who wrote the famous
line "Let me live in a house by the
side of the road," had in mind, of
course a good road. No man can be
cheerful and neighborly, no man can
be a really good citizen, if he lives
in a house by the side of a neglected
road. The men who pass his place
can't be cheerful. How is the road

from 20 to 300 or 400 sheep, which
are considered valuable for furnishing
mutton, cleaning up weeds and adding
to the income of the ranch.
This is quite a concession for the
cattlemen to make, according to Mr.
Cecil, but it is interesting in that it
indicates tho cominer of a more di
versified system of management on
the interior ranches, as well as be
ing a factor in keeping up the supply
of sheep already considerably de
creased by the homesteading of much
of the public range.

NOW A NATIONAL PROBLEM
when it was first proposed to take
the regulation of local public utilities
like electric light, water, gas and
street railway companies, out of tho
linmls of cities and nlaco It exclusive
ly in the hands of a state public util
ity commission much opposition arose
on the part of tho cities. They did
not want to relinquish their right of
control, fearing that by so doing they
could not enforce obedience or exact
nroner service. But there were so
many instances where the same pub
lic utility operated in numerous clues
and served such, a wide scope of ter
ritory that it was easily apparent
that uniform service to all its pa
trons depended on uniform regualtlon
and so the peoplo created a state pub
lic utility commission and placed reg
ulation' of public utilities exclusively
in Its hands, with the result of a gen
eral improvement In the service.
The people are experiencing exact
ly the same opposition from some of
the state public utility commissions,
DOW that it has been found out only
advisable but necessary to take reg
ulation of the railroads out of the
hands of forty-eight regulating, tri
bunals and placo it exclusively in tho
hands of tho Interstate Commerco
Commission. Tho opponents to this
plan are using the Bame sort of ar
gument that was used by tho cities m
their opposition to stato regulation" of
local public utilities.
But as local public utilities grew
and extended their service into num
erous communities and thereby ex
tended beyond the Jurisdiction of any
one city and uniform regulation re
quired regulation by the state, so too,
Have the railroads grown and extend
ed boyond the jurisdiction of any one
stato and uniform regulation requires
regulation by tho federal government
instead of forty-eight commissions.
