GOVERNMENTAL SUPERVISION
There should be a governmental
supervision and regulation of public
utilities, the power should be lodged
in some proper governmental agency
to compel the owners of public utili
ties which include light, power, water
and transportation, to furnish ade
quate service, charge only reasonable
rates, and treat all patrons fairly and

without unjust discrimination.
To insure these objects in the hon
est purpose of the so-called "Malarky
Bill" which the voters are to pass up
on November the fifth. Under it the
necessary power is given to the exist
ing State Railroad Commission with
out creation of any new board or
officers. The ballot number is 314
yes, 315 no.
Similar acts have been passed in
the following states: Wisconsin,
Ohio, Maryland, New York, Connecti
cut, Kansas, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, Oklahoma, Vermont, Califor
nia, Washington and Nevada. The
Oregon Public Utilities Act was draft
ed closely on the lines of the Wiscon
sin Utilities law, and fornis a consist-
ant and harmonious supplement to
the-existing Railroad Commission law.
Th4 Railroad Commission, under
this act, is vested with regulative jur
isdiction over all public utilities in
the state, except municipally owned
plants. Every public utilities company
will be required to furnish adequate
and safe service, equipment and facil
ities and the charges made for any
public utility product are required to
be reasonable and just and every un
just charge is prohibited and declared
to be unlawful.
Provision is made for the compul
sory exchange of traffic or products
between "public utilities and a com
mon user ot conduits, subways,. street
railway tracks, poles, etc., in any
street or highway for reasonable com
pensation. The commission will prescribe a
standard form of accounts, and each
public utility company in the state
must use this form. The commission
will also audit the accounts of all pub
lic utilities. They will also have pow
er to inquire into the management ot
tiie utilities, and inspect books, papers
etc., at all times.
Treble damages and" attorney's fees
are allowed a party injured by viola
tion of the Public Utilities law. Three
or more individuals may complain to
the commission in regard to unreas
onable rates, ' whereupon the commis
sion will investigate and fix a just and
non-discrimatory rate.
The commission is to investigate
accidenTs attended with loss of human
life, and generally is to inquire into
any violation of the public utilities
laws of the state and report violations
thereof to the Attorney-General for
prosecution.

America's
Trade

HE PANAMA CANAL WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR AUS
TRALIA EVENTUALLY NOT. SO MUCH IN THE NEAR FU
TURE, BECAUSE OUR WHOLE TRADE IS NOT SO BIG,
BUT LATER VERY IMPORTANT INDEED.
I don't think there will be very great or very sweeping changes in
the course of commerce in our direction immediately after the open
ing of the canal, but the INFLUENCE OF THE NEW ROUTE
MUST GROW.
I think that America is to be congratulated on the way it has car
ried out this stupendous undertaking to a successful conclusion.
It has been a big work done in a big way, and ONE IS NAT
URALLY ANXIOUS TO SEE THE UNITED STATES GET ALL
THE BENEFIT POSSIBLE FROM THE RESULTS consistent
with its obligations to the rest of the world.
There is quite a healthy trade between Australia and the United
States, and the trade is increasing, but no so fast as the trade with
Germany. ' .
Commission of Washington, a part of
their Railway Commission, after a
careful review of the Oregon Act and
a consideration of such objections as
were raised to its adoption, says:
' Speaking, individually and in behalf
of the Washington Public Service
Commission, it is our judgement that
Oregon would make a great mistake
not to adopt and indorse this law. In-:
stead of being enacted in favor of the
corporations who render public ser-j
vices, just the opposite is true, and
such legislation is designed to protect !
and does protect the public against
all of the practices it suggests.
MINNESOTA IN LINE
Joseph B. Kealing, in charge of the
organization work for the Republican
National Committee in the' western
section, had a conference with Hon. E
B. Hawkins, of Duluth, Republican
National commmitteeman for Minne
sota, and E. E. Smith, or Minneapo
lis, Republican " State Chairman, re
garding political conditions in that
State. At the conclusion the follow
ing statement was made:
"If the sentiment for President Taft
in Minnesota increases during the
next week as it has in the past two
weeks, we will by next Friday take
Minnesota out of the doubtful column
and put it in the list of states that are
reasonably sure for President Taft."
"Committeeman Hawkins and Chair
man Smith assure me that if the elec
tion held tomorrow Governor Eber
hardt would be elected and Senator
Nelson returned to the United States
Senate. They believe just as firmly
that in the days remaining be
fore election, the steady change of
sentiment toward President Taft will
insure him the electoral vote of the
State. Throughout its entire history,
Minnesota has never given its elector
al vote to a Democratic candidate for
president. It is a rock-ribbed Repub
lican State. Four years ago it gave
President Taft a plurality of 86,442.
It is true that there was last spring,
considerable Roosevelt sentiment In
the state, but after President Taft's
nomination loyal Republicans refusec
to follow the Third Term candidate
out of the Republican party. They
have no sympathy with a bolt. Even
those since the convention were
freindly disposed toward Col. Roose
velt are now returning in large num
bers to the Republican ranks upon
the grounds that Minnesota owes its
prosperity to the policies of the Re
publican party.
"Wilson's free trade speeches, and
the knowledge that the Democratic
party in the House of Representatives,
put cereals on the free list, brought
the farmers to a realization of the
effect which a Democrat would have
upon them. In the cities of Minnea
polis, St. Paul, and Duluth the busi
nes men are practically unaimous for
President Taft. As for the working
men, it is only necessary to say that
there is probably no state in the coun
try where labor is as scarce as in
Minnesota, and employers are scour
ing the country to get workingmen at
the highes wages ever paid, and are
meeting with little success inasmuch
as labor is everywhere employed.
MICHIGAN FOR TAFT
CHICAGO, Oct. 28. After a vis
it to the east during which ne
was for two days a geust of Presi
dent Taft at the naval review, Char
les B.' Warren, of Michigan, Republi
can National commmitteeman and a
member of the executive commmitt
tee, reached Chicago. Mr. Warren
brought encouraging news to the na
tional headquarters in this city, and
during the day gave to director Mul
vane detailed information of condi
tions in the east which stirred the Re
publican leaders to renewed energy
in the belief that Republican victory
would be secured.
"During the two days that I was
with President Taft," said Mr. Warren,
"he was in conference with prominent
Republicans from the east who were
thoroughly informed as to the politi
cal situation. The information
which they laid before the President
is the basis for the emphatic state
ments which he has recently issued
expresing confidence in the outcome
of tile election.
"There is no doubt now that the
third term candidate has been elinmin
ated as a possible factor in the presi
dential race. There is not the remot
est possibility of his election. He may
carry California but even that is
doubtful. The fight is now between
President Taft and Woodrow Wilson,
a square contest between the Repub
lican party and the Democratic party
upon the issue of protection against
free trade. Upon that issue we can
and will win.
"The threatened free trade policies
j of Wilson and the Democratic party
'are frightening the business interests
j of the country and they are steadily
and rapidly coming to the support of
the Republican party."
Mr. Warren says that Michigan will
give its electoral vote to President
Taft, as there will not be enough de
fections to the third party to offset
the large Republican majority in the
! States. This majority was over
1 175,000 four years ago and normally
stands at 100,000.

THIS section of a panoramic view of the famous Polo grounds, New
York, was taken during the opening game of the world" series be
tween the Giants and the Red Sox. It shows the whole diamond
with the game in , progress and a part of the huge concrete grand
stand jammed with fans. After the old grand stand at the Polo grounds
burned down a few years ago work was begun on making the field over.
Brush's stadium, as the grounds are called by many, is now one of the best.
If not the best, baseball fields in the country. It cost about $50(.0(i0 to re
construct and will seat over 35,000 persons. The officii) I attendance at the
first game was 35,730. The receipts were $75,127. An interesting feature of
this picture is the Jumel residence up on the bluff at the right. It will be
remembered that General Washington made this homestead his headquMiters
during the Washington heights campaign. In the midst of modern sport one
has but to lift his eyes to this old landmark to be take; back over a ceutury
to Revolntiouary times.
