Aydlett 4eltT ered the address of welcome, Mr. Aydlett in his address reviewed the oyster legislation of Jtrth Carolina and showed how that such laws had worked to the detriment of the industry. When the industry began to grow to considerable proportions and to attract attention, hostile fac tions sprang up and these present laws are the result of these factions After Mr. Aydlett's address the con tention was formally organized! by electing attorney T.

B;H. MEYER, presideat of the railroad :commission of Wisconsin. The Wlseonsin legislation has taken the utilities as well as the railroads out of politics. I do not believe that many citizen a can he fminfl in tiu state of Wisconsin who ould serious ly claim that in either the primary campaign tor in the campaign preced ing the present November elections the utilities as such had entered into Doli- tics. Mk iftndents of municipal affairs well know that in this elimination of politics f rjim the management of utili ties we have removed one f the great j est and most persistent source of ebr-1 j "Ptlon and bad government 3 ' xne utilities law tends to eliminate feuds between the citizens and the managempt f public and private plants. The law assures to all commu nities good service at reasonable rates. This is placed within the reach of all impartially, whether the commission ad van c es or lowers the rate. The basis of its findings Is published in every instance. These published facts should suffice to convince and I believe -do convince, the average citizen of the reasonableness and justice of the deci sion, if it is reasonable and just, and, whether he likes it or not, he must abide by that decision. In this respect cases affecting utilities are quite dif ferent from the most of the cases af fee ting raUroads. In the case of utili ties the controversy frequently degen erates into a bitter and partisan feud, affecting the entire population; which blinds both sides to a proper compre hension of the facts and to a sense of justice. ProceedXage before the com jgSsioh Wk Warirv and educate public opinion. The public utilities law raises the standard of morality through the erad ication of the evjl of discrimination and the protection of a reasonable rate. To those who are quite familiar with the past evils of discrimination in railway rates the extent of the dis crimination in the rates in service util ities may be almost beyond compre hension. The whole state of Wiscon sin was literally streaked and plaster ed with discriminations in the rates of utilities, aad in all the rest of the country where the extent of such dis- , j Thousands of individuals had been re ceiving free and reduced rate service, and eradication of all such rates can not , help but serve as a moral tonic and ra'ise the level of public and pri vate morality within the state as a whole. For thirty-two of the report ing telephone companies eight of every hundred subscribers received free or reduced rate service. The nrocess of equalization of rates had been going on ror over a year, consequently tne actual extent of the unjust discrimina tion was doubtless very much greater at the time of the enactment of the law. I have every reason to believe j that in every other state of the Union these discriminations stHl nourish at the expense of subscribers who pay th? ful1 rate- Similar discriminations eiJsc m umer cms&es oi uLixiuea.

In fact, it is probable that a good many of the managements did not have the remot est idea as to the exact standing from a business point of view of the plant they were operating. Uniform ac counting, rules governing the service and the regulation of rates compel the adoption of business and scientific methods which are resulting in noth ing short of a revolution in manage ment. All of the effects of the law, taken collectively, are bound to place invest ments in public utility enterprises on a moe stable foundation. The law works both ways.
