mission hill, along with four others
having to do with public utilities,
passed the house with safe ma
jorities. The utilities bill Ih the
second of (lov. Julius 1-. Meier's
power program, the hydro-electric
commission having been approved
by the sanato Monday. Moth bill
now go lo tin; opposite houses for
approval.
Tho first utility measure before
the house under special order was
the Kenuto measure repealing the
certificate of necessity and public
convenience act, which curried bv
a vote of -it; to I I. This hill had
already been passed hy the senate.
Approval was also accorded the
companion measure, originating in
the house, which would reinstate
the act for towns of 2000 popula
tion or less.

The vote explanations continued
upon the inuiu measure, that of
abolishing tho public service com

Hamilton charged legislators with
listening to the mandate of the
people, which was to abolish tho
public service commission. This
measure, he declares, does not ac
complish thai; it merely replaces
three men with a one-man power.
Taylor declared it was the "worst

Hint he wuh not "apologizing for
his vote."
Cites iRogue Vote
"You people are voting accord

voted to close it. Where is the
mandate of the people?" Members
referred to the election of Meier

I people against the public service
commission.
Thn other two power measures,
already approved by the senate.

provides that municipal corpora
tionst with a population of :ioo.ooo
people shall be exempt from filing
un application with the federal
power commission.
The other authorizes cities and
towns to acquire water rights and
regulate electric plants, making it
possible for municipalities to file
on any stream in tho state and re
taining the site for a period of 10
years. These hills, together with
the repeal of the certificate of ne
cessity act, go to tho governor tor
his signature.

between the lawyers und trust com
panics, went down to defeat In the

some heat.

Swift & Company's
1931 Year Book
because the story of
Swift & Company's activities for the year
1930 is of absorbing interest to every man
and woman.
It tells how a solidly organized concern,
dealing mainly in perishable foodstuff s,was
able to come through a year of general depres
sion, and earn dividends for its shareholders.
It shows that Swift & Company's profits
come chiefly from savings and the elim
ination of waste.
It tells why a food monopoly by any
packer or group of packers is impossible.
There are chapters on the Consent
Decree and its modification; on Swift's
service to the small retailer; on the incessant
competition in the packing business; on Swift
