expresseil the opinion tint such a
limitation was not necessary If the
government reserved the rljfht to
adjust the compaules' prices at Inter
vals of approximately 10 years.
Walter L. Fish, secretary of the
Interior, In an address before the na
tional waterways commission recog
nizes the doctrine that the develop
ment of th-. water powers of the
country and their subsequent use In
the generation ami distribution of
electrical energy constitutes a mo
nopoly, but that the public should
lie protected by means of regulation
In order that the privileges conferred
upon power production companies
may not be abused by excessive rates
and Inadequate service In order to
build up unreasonable profits.
The statement of Secretary Fisher i
Is of considerable importance, com
ing as it does from a mart recognized '
as bring in sympathy with the pro-!
gresslve tendency now prevailing.
The doctrine that the public utility
business Is of Itself a monopoly Is
Ixvomtiig more recognized by compe
tent an t Impartial authorities, and
is a uiituial outgrow th of changed
economic conditions. In the average
community it Is absolutely Impos
sible for two public utility companies
to realize even a reasonable protit on
their investment, for the reason that
the Initial investment Is large and
the market for the service Is natural
ly limited. The result Inevitably Is
that one company must absorb the
other. When this condition is
brought about It Is only natural
that the consolidation means higher
rates for t wo reasons: Ttie compet
itive rates cannot be maintained
w ithout making It Impossible for tin
company to realize a reasonable re
turn on their investment. The result
of consolidation Is a duplication of
equipment on which there must be a
return, eeii though such duplication
be unnecessary In order to properly
and ndeouately serve t he public. It
Is a condition fostered by the munici
pality itself In conferring upon a
competitive company the privilege
of doing business. At the utmost
such competition can only be of a
temporary nature. In the end the
people must pay the freight, as It Is
unreasonable to assume that the
consolidated company will not de
mand a reasonable return on Its In
vestment. The consistency of such a
demand cannot be denied, for what
person, linn or corporation would
undertake to engage In any business
unless a reasonable return on the
capital Invested co.ild be realized.
The regulation of public utilities Is
but a recognition uf the fact that
they are by virtue of the develop
ment of our changed economic condi
tions monopolies, and that compe
titlou is not an effivttve means of
regulation, Inasmuch as the unavoid
able result Is that the people pay
duty, when comiietltlon ceases, upon
losses suffered by meeting competi
tion and the consequent Increase In
capital account by virtue of consult
