STATE REGULATION HAS POUR OBJECTS The contention of students of the utility situation, as it has developed during recent years, shows that it i3 desirable for the states to assume a positive position with reference to the utilities within its borders. The best thought based on experience in marly states is that the laws should be arranged with the idea of ac complishing the following four ob jects: First That utility service is a matter of suc h prime importance ; to our convenience, welfare and ! progress that the public has a right 1 to provide for its complete adequacy ! and continuity. Second That the service must be free from political discrimination and the influence of localities, thus placing it on reasonable trems both to the public and to the utility.
