Continuous Active Competition Out of the Question
(Lu Crosse Gas and Electric Compnny Rute Case.)

r
A UTHORITIES
President Wilson in an address before
the students of the University of California
said:
"I'UllMO SERVICE OOltl'OltATlONM ARE IN A VERY INTERESTINO
SENSE NATURAL MONOPOLIES. IT IS PERFECTLY ORVIOUS
THAT IK OTHER COMPANIES ARE ALLOWED TO COMPETE WITH
THEM THERE IS A WASTEFUL DUPLICATION IN OUTLAY AND
EQUIPMENT."
Walter L. Fisher, ex-Secretary of the
Interior, said before the National Water
ways Commission in November, 1911:
"I THINK HYRHO.ElECTHIO DEVELOPMENT IS ESSENTIALLY
MONOPOLISTIC, AND SHOULD RE ESSENTIALLY MONOPOLISTIC IN
ITS CHARACTER. THAT IS WHY I THINK IT SHOULD RE EFFECT- '
IVEIiY REOUIiATED. I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE THE ARYAN
TAOE OK THE CONTROL OK THE MARKET, AND FREEDOM KROM
HARASSING AND VEXATIOUS COMPETITION IK WE ARE GOINO TO
PUT THEM UNDER THE DISADVANTAGES OK EKKEOTIVE PURLIC
HEGUIiATION."

"DUPLICATION OK SUCH FliANTS IS A WASTE OK CAPITAL
WHENEVER THE SERVICES CAN RE FURNISHED RY ONE PLANT ON
LY. "IT NECESSARILY .MEANS THAT INTEREST AND MAINTENANCE
MUST RE EARNED ON A .MUCH GREATER, IK NOT TWICE AS GREAT,
AN INVESTMENT 'AND THAT THE ACTUAL COST OK OPERATION IS
LIKELY TO RE RELATIVELY HIGHER.
"COMPETITION IN THIS SERVICE, THEREFORE, USUALLY
.MEANS A HITTER STRUGGLE AND LOW RATES UNTIL ONE OF THE
CONTESTANT'S IS FORCED OUT OK THE FIELD, WHEN THE RATES
ARE RAISED TO THE OLD LEVEL, IK NOT AROVE IT, OR TO A COM
BINATION OR. UNDERSTANDING OK 80MB SORT BETWEEN THEM
WHICH ALSO UliTIMATELY RESULTS IN HIGHER RATES.
"IN THIS WAY IT OFTEN HAPPENS THAT THE .MEANS WHICH
WERE THOUGHT TO BE THE PREVENTATIVE OK ONEROUS CONDI
TIONS BECOME THE VERY AGENTS THROUGH WHICH SUCH CONDI
TIONS ARE IMPOSED. IN FACT, ACTIVE AND CONTINUOUS COMPE
T1TION BETWEEN PURLIC UTILITY CORPORATIONS, FURNISHING
THE SAME SERVICE TO THE SAME LOCALITY, SEEMS TO RE OUT OK
THE QUESTION.
IS ALSO CONTRARY TO THE VERY NATURE OK THINGS. TWO DIS
TINCT AND SEPARATE CORPORATIONS ARE NOT LIKELY TO REMAIN
TINOT AND SEPARATE CORPORATIONS ARE NOT LKELY TO REMAIN
SEPARATE VERY LONG AFTER IT RECOMES CLEAR THAT THE 8EH
VICES RENDERED RY ROTH CAN BE MORE CHEAPLY AND EFFEC
TIVELY FURNISHED RY ONLY ONE OK THEM."

In stopping the damage done by this

Inquiry was made, tho iiinu who fenc

that ho had saved tbo prlco of that

Willi our farms loft unfenced so that
tho rabbits may obtain nn nbundnnco
of food, wo will probably never de
stroy this pest by poisoning, although
wo may kill thousands of thorn ench
month. Tho only plnustblo thing for
tho farmers In an Infested section to
