REGULATORY LAW
MEETS COURT TEST
Wisconsin Utilities Will Be
Forced to Pay Cost of
State Agency.
BY GEORGE E. DOYING.
For the first time since the advent of
the modern Public Service Commission,
a high court has passed upon the matter
of compelling public utilities to pay ihe
cost of their own regulation. The Su
preme Court of Wisconsin has upheld a
law to that effect enacted less than a
year ago by the Legislature of that
State.
The law was attacked by the Wiscon
sin Telephone Co., to which a bill had
been rendered by the commission lor
certain expenses in connection with a
State-wide investigation of telephone
rates being conducted by the commis
sion In addition to a general challenge
on the part of the telephone company
to the power of the Legislature to im
pose upon the public utilities of the
State tlie cost of their regulation, the
principal contention was that the Legis
lature attempted to confer legislative
power upon the commission when it was
provided that the commission might ex
empt any public utility from the pay
ment of such costs if such action
should be found to be in the public
Interest.
Exemption Section.
The Supreme Court not only sus
tained the constitutionality ot tile act
in charging the investigation costs
to the utilities under scrutiny, but,
held that the Legislature had a
right to authorize the commission
to make exemptions when it found lii
cumstances to justify such proceduie.
The court stated that the exemption
Fcction probably was not '‘hapnily
framed" to express the evident legisla- ,
live intent, but that the Legislature j
doubtless had in mind such investiga- .
tions as might b-1 conducted for the in- j
formation of the commission rather (
than for the direct regulation of a par
ticular utility. . , .. . . . „
"It was not the legislative intent,
paid the court, “to confer upon the
Public Service Commission tbc arbitrary
power which resides in the Legislature
itself to determine what constitutes
public interest. The Legislature pos
sesses arbitrary power in suc.i matters
and mav determine that to be in the
public interest which the great majority
of the people believe otherwise. When
they so determine, there can be no
£ PI i' It ]
"This is not the kind of nower which
the Legislature committed to the Public
Service Commission. While it may be
that what constitutes the public interest
is at times somewhat intangible in
character, yet the Public Service Com
mission mav pass reasonable judgment
upon the facts and circumstances under |
consideration and come to a reasonaole j
conclusion as to what the public interest i
requires under the circumstances, ana I
Its conclusion is subject to judicia.
review."
Validity of Act.
On the question of the general valid
ity of the art, the court said In part:
••It is a well settled principle that the
cost of regulating and supervising cer
tain businesses may be itnoosea upon
such businesses so long as the amount
imposed does not exceed the reasonable
cost of regulation and so far as tne
power is not prostituted to the purpose
of raising general revenue. Thu is the
theory upon which a license .ee is ex
acted of pawn brokers, pedolers and
other businesses requiring police and
other governmental supervision. It is
the principle upon which insurance
companies are required to nay the cost
of investigation made by the insurance
department, and upon which banks are
made to bear at least p portion of the
expense incident to their examinations
by the Banking Department.”

IMPROVEMENT NOTED
IN NEW ENGLAND
Boston Bonk Comments Upon Bet
terment in Several Lines
of Industry.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 22 —Curtail
ment of productive activity in New
England during November was less
than during the previous month, ac
cording to the current Issue of New
England Business, published by the
National Shawmut Bank of Boston.
This was the result of improvement in
su.h industries as metal, lumber, pa
per and rubber, which partially offset
the sharp reductions in the textile,
leather and related industries.
As would be expected in view of pro
ductive activity, employment and av
erage weekly earnings in Massachu
setts manufacturing establishments de
clined less in November than in Oc
tober. Average weekly earnings per
employe was about 10 per cent below
a year ago. or approximately the same
as the decline in the Massachusetts cost
of living index. Although the decline of
this index has been omy one-half the
decline in wholesale commodity prices,
component parts of the cost of living
ind-’x, such as retail food and clothing
prices, have declined tnree-quarters as
much as wholesale prices. Shelter, iuel
and lights and sundries, on the other
hand, apparently have retarded the drop
in the cost of living
That New England business has not
shown improvement in lecent months
is not surprising in view' of the eco
nomic and political problems here and
abroad, but improvement of business
in this country should be quickly re
flected in increased productive ac
tivity in New England

BOND PRICES BAIN
IN ACTIVE TRADING
Market Absorbs Overnight
Selling Orders and Rails
Lead Advance.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 22.—Bonds
were firm again today, with railroad
descriptions inclined to resume a brisk
advance. Trading was fairly active.
The market opened with a steady
tone and readily absorbed an over
night accumulation of profit-taking
sales in the speculative types. The in
stant success of the New York City
$100,000,000 6 per cent loan proved a
bullish influence in all parts of the
investment market. Bonds of the three
and four year maturities were quoted
at a slight premium in counter trading,
while the five-year bends, which seemed
to b° much in favor, were quoted at
10034 to 101
It was an interesting sidelight on the
present bond market that New York
City bonds, usually the most conserva
tive of securities, were the medium for
heavy speculative buying. Many
bought the bonds today on the theory
that in a revival of the money market
New York's corporate stock might very
well advance to a 4 per cent yield
basis, which would yield purchasers of
the 6’s at par a profit of 9 points.
The entire municipal list strength
ened Bonds of other cities, such as
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco
and many county issues, which have
recently been quoted around a 5.60 to
6.20 per cent basis, were today in
demand around 5.50.
The railroad list reflected a strong
market for railroad stocks, based on
optimistic reports coming from the
Chicago wage conference. Nickel Plate
6’s, due this year, were more than 5
points higher at one time and more
than 40 points above their December
low Gains of a point or more occurred
in Nickel Plate 4>2's, Mobile & Ohio
4'2s, Missouri-Pacific general 4s and
Erie 5’s. ,, .
There were small declines in a lew
issues that have recently had wide
gains such as Alleghany 5 s. Southern
Pacific 4'2's. Southern Railway 4's and
Rock Island 4'2's, but these were
exceptions. , ...
Some industrials were fractionally
lower on profit-taking, but most of
them were unchanged to a shade higher
Dodge Bros. 6s, Goodyear 5s, National
Dairy Products 5 Us and many others
were firm.
United States Government issues were
again heavy. The Treasury 4'4s were
most active and dropped about one-half
point. The Treasury 3s were off nearly
a point. Liberties eased. This followed
a firmer demand for money, with the
time money rates showing a slight ad
vance over Thursday's levels. There
was also some switching from Treas
uries into the New York City loan.
Foreign bonds were irregular. Ger
man government issues, after opening
about 2 points lower, recovered only
partially, and other Germans sagged
London and Paris markets were both
dull pending definite decision as to
whether the Lausanne Conference has
been abandoned or only postponed.
Bonds were steady at the opening.
The prices of most domestic railroad
bonds .opened off a shade under a mod
erate volume of overnight selling or
ders, but these declines were quickly
made up in early trading and most
speculative issues of the type of Erie
5s. Missouri-Pacific 5s Nickel Plate
4'2s, Frisco 4'2s and Chicago & North
western 434s were little changed. In
dustrials were firm. Dodge Brothers
6s gained fractionally. Utilities, like
American Telephone 5s, Consolidated
Gas 5'2s and New York Telephone 4'2s
were fractionally better. United States
Government issues were narrowly lower.
In the foreign department, German
government issues dropped nearly 2
points and German municipals and
bank bonds also went lower. Canadian
government issues were higher with
Canadian exchange. British 5'/is were
off a shade.

BATTLE OF COTTON
INTERESTS IS ON
Russian Shipments to Eng
land Prove Menace to
U. S. Growers.
Bv the Associated Press
MANCHESTER, January 22—A bit
ter battle is being fought out behind
the scenes here between international
interests connected with the marketing
cf raw cotton.
It is a commercial war in which the
moves are hidden, due to the entire lack
of official current statistics since last
October 3. when the Liverpool Cotton
Association ceased publishing its official
daily figures concerning cotton import
ed and estimated spot sales by descrip
tion. together with prices paid.
Within the last few weeks whole ship
loads of Russian cotton, containing ap
proximately 0,500 bales of each ship
ment, have again appeared at Man
j Chester and Liverpool.
Russian Shipments.
Before the American slump in 1929
Russian cotton was almost unheard of
in England, and what small quantity
reached British spinners was locally
considered to be of very low quality.
Then, in 1930. came the time for the
Russians, under their five-year plan, to
start paying their long-dated bills of
exchange against machinery and plants
purchased three years ago in England.
To obtain sterling currency cotton
was shipped to England from Russia on
consignment and sold for the best price
it could realize for cash.
I The Lancashire Cotton Corporation
experimented with the first shipment.
It was found that the cotton had been
carefully selected in even-running lots
of a bright-colored strict-middling
grade, and was capable of competing
with good-quality American and low
quality Upper Egyptian.
After the first few shipments had
been disposed of satisfactorily, forward
contracts w-ere placed and a considera
ble business negotiated with important
British spinners, which increased the im
ports of Russian cotton into England to
approximately 175.000 bales for the year
ended July 31. 1931.
Well informed quarters of the British
cotton industry teiieve that Russia will
not be able much longer to restrict her
own imports of raw cotton as she has
done since the economic crisis began in
1929.
End to Menace Seen.
To enable Russia to export cotton the
cotton-spinning industry inside Russia
| has been severely penalized. At present
the price asked for Russian cotton is
I from 55 to 75 points above competitive
American cottons. This latter factor
I alone, providing credit facilities to ob
tain American dollars are readily avail
able to the British importer, will see
the end of the Russian cotton menace
to American growers.
