REGULATION OR COMPETITION:
RS18TENT rumors, emanating from sources which
profess to be well-informed, say that the Hoard
of Directors of the Street and Sewer Department will
deny the application of the People's Light, Heat and
Power Company for a franchise to sell electricity In
this city. Would It not be well for that hoard to con
sider carefully the consequences x^hlch are likely to
follow such action In behalf of J0»c two public service
corporations which now enjoy a monopoly in the local
lighting field?
Thousands of persons in the city of Wilmington al
ready are Indignant because the Stale Senate, In
deference to the wishes of a lobby representing cer
tain public service corporations in this city, defeated,
with brutal disregard of the public will, amendments
P
to tho Public Utilities act which would have made
the Public Utilities Commission In this city a regula
tive and corrective agent In fact as well as in name.
In view of the fact that a lobby-ridden State Senate
has dented to the people of Wilmington the safe
guards and benefits that necessarily would accrue to
them from regulation, we think It would be Ihe
height of official Indiscretion, If not folly, for the
Board of Street and Sewer Directors to Inflame tho
public mind still further by denying to the people the
safeguards and benefits which necessarily would ac
crue to them from competition in an unregulated field.
Wholly apart *from the merits of the controversy, wo
think it would bo an exceedingly impolitic thing to do.
Tho people, justly Indignant because of the sub
serviency of >ho State Senate to tho Influence of pub
lic service corporations and their lobbies, arc in no
humor at this time to have a similar display of sub
serviency from tho Board of Street and Sower Direc
tors. nor could sueh display of subserviency come at
a more inopportune time.
Wc are clearly of the opinion that If the question of
unregulated monopoly vs. unregulated competition
were submitted to th-. voters of Wilmington today or
tomorrow, ten votes would he cast In favor of un
regulated ,eni*y utlon to every one vote In favor of
unregulated monopoly. The action of Ihe State Sen
ate in denying regulation has called home to the
mind of the public the necessity for competition, and
it will come, as surely as tho night follows the day,
unless the existing public service monopolies submit
lo regulation. Any declaration which the Hoard of
Directors of the Street and Sewer Department may
make, or any action that it may take, in favor of un
regulated monopoly only will serve to hasten regula
tion or competition and to make more unpopular an
official body that has no popularity which it can af
ford to sacrifice for the sake of the future well-being
of public service monopolies.
Wc have read with much interest the several pro
clamations and fulminations which tho Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company has launched against
the Peoples' Light, Heat and Power Company- To our
mind they are neither convincing nor conclus ve. In
our discussion of Uum we wish it to be understood
clearly that we hold no brief for the Peoples' Light,
Heat and Power Company. What we say In its be
half Is due merely to the fact that. It stands for com
petition, vhile the existing companies stand for un
regulated monopoly.
The first proclamation issued by the the Wilming
ton and Philadelphia Traction Company was In the
nature of c. history of franchises for electric light
and power privileges in this city. To our mind that
was a discreditable exposition of the lengths to
which the light and power monopoly had gone to per
petuate Its monopoly. The proclamation shows clear
ly, over the signature of the Wilmington and Phila
delphia Traction Company, that the monopoly defeated
all the franchises it could and bought up all
the franchises it could not defeat. And history shows
that as a result of that kill-off-and-buy-up policy, the
monopoly as a monopoly exists today. The Inference
conveyed by that proclamation was that if the Peoples'
Light, Heat and* Power Company were to obtain the
franchise U would use It for speculative purpojes and
sell out Wc hoard the same sort of a story many
years ago when the Peoples' Railway Company sought
to Invade the local traction field. Rut let It be borne
In mind that the Peoples' Railway still is in the hands
of its original owners, while the
erties ; «presented by the Wilmington and Phila
delphia Traction Company have been sold thrice to
speculative interests, and. If we mistake not. the elec
tric light and power end of It also ha« been sold three
times It seems lo us that the burden of the specu
lative and sell-out features of the situation rests upon
the Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction Company
and not upon either the Peoples' Light, Heat and
Power Company or the People's Railway Company.
Passing to the next proclamation, we find that it
contains an intimation that two Wilmingtonians went
railway prop
to Pittsburgh, with the knowledge and consent of
Richard W. Crook, general manager of the Peoples'
Railway, and negotiated w'ith the president of the
Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction Company for
the sale of the Peoples' Railway property. Mr. ^rook
denies that he authorized or had knowledge of such
negotiations. In short, the only effect of that
proclamation was to raise a sharp question of veracity
between those who 'ormulate the proclamations for
the unregulated lighting monopoly and Mr. Crook.
Th.- fa*', rema di that the Peoples Railway »«a not
sold: that it still ia in the hand» of it* onxmal u
era; (Lat It continues to m-II aix ticket« for twenty
five ce-tits, and that it hod no hand ia the lobby work
in the totale Senate that r<
Public Utilities law amen
lion of the lighting monopoly be
that the repeated intimation In the next proclama
tion that the Peoples' Railway la for sale ha* made
much of an inip'oasiun upon 'b* public rated, particu
1*4 in the defert of the
•nu and the. perpetua
Nor do we think
larly In view of the fact that since the railway was
built it never has been «old and that the Wilmington
and 1'hlladelphia Traction Company properties havo
been sold three times, each time to speculative inter
ests. Nor did the action of the Wilmington and Phila
delphia Traction Company In accusing Mr. Crook of
evasion lead to one-halt the public comment that re
sulted from the artful dodging done by the proclama
tion framers in evading public answer to a series of
pertinent but exceedingly embarassiug questions pro
pounded by Mr. Crook to the Wilmlugton and Philadel
phia Traction Company.
In that same proclamation was an excerpt from an
address delivered by President Woodrow Wilson when
h«* was Governor of New Jersey. By that quotation the
Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction Company
sought to make it appear that Mr. Wilson favors pub
lic service monopolies 'and deems them necessary.
There was, however, a studious avoidance of the fact
that America had in it then no man who was a more
earnest champion of tho principle that public ser
vice corporations should lie subject to public regula
tion. And he still stands'as a champion of such regu
lation. In his- most recent work, "Tho New Freedom,"
made public within the last six weeks, President Wil
son said, referring to the reforms he had assisted in
bringing about in New Jersey.
"There was another thing we wanted to do. We
wanted to regulate our public service corporations so
that we üotild get the proper service from them, and
on reasonable terras. That had been done elsewhere,
and wherfe It bad been done It had proved Just as
much for tho benefit of the corporations themselves as
for the benefit of the people. Of course It was some
what difficult to convince the corporations. It hap
pened that one of the men who knew the least about
the subject was tho president of the Public Service
Corporation of New Jersey. I have heard speeches
from that gentleman that exhibited a total lack of
acquaintance with the circumstances of our times. I
have never known ignorance so complete In Its de
tail; and, being a man of force and ignorance, he
naturally set all his energy to resist the things he
did not comprehend. 1 din not Interested In question
ii g the motives of men in such positions. I am only
sorry that they don't know more If.they would only
join the procession they would find themselves bene
fited by the healthful exercise which, for one thing,
would renew within them the capacity to learn which
1 hope they possessed when they wore younger,
were not trying to do anything novel in New Jersey in
regulating the Public Service Corporations; we were
simply trying to adopt there a tested measure of pub
lic justice. We adopte. It. Has anybody gone bank
rupt since? Hoes anybody now doubt that it was just
as much for the benefit of the Public Service Corpora
tion as for the people of the Slate? I have lived in
a State that was owned by a series or corporations.
Wo
They handed it about. It, was at one lime owned hy
the Pennsylvania railroad; then It was owned by the
Public Service Corporation. It was owned by the Pub
lie Service Corporation when 1 was admitted, and that
corporation has been resentful ever since that 1 in
terfered with its tenancy. But I really did not see
any reason why the people should give up theTr own
residence to so small a body of men to monopolize;
and, therefore, when
deeds, and they couldn't produce them, and there was
no court except the court of public opinion to re
sort to, they moved out. Now they eat out of our
hands, and are not losing flesh, either They are
making Just ns much money as they made before,
only they arc making it. in a more respectable way.
They are making it without the constant assistance
of the Legislature of the State of New Jersey. They
are making it In the normal way. by supplying the
people of New Jersey with the service in the way of
transportation and gas and water that they really need.
1 do not believe that there are many thoughtful offi
cials of the Public Service Corporation of New Jer
sey who now seriously regret the change that has
come about. We liberated government In my Stale,
and U is an interesting fact that we have not suffered
one moment In prosperity.
"What we propose, therefore, in this program of
freedom. Is a program of general advantage. Almost
every monopoly that has resisted dissolution has re
sisted the real interests of its stockholders. Monop
oly always cheeks development, weighs down natural
prosperity, pulls against natural advance."
Wo think (hat Is a fairly complete answer to the
effort of tho Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction
Cdmpany to use President Wilson as an unconscious
ally In its efforts to escape both regulation and com
petition.
One of the most remarkable of the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company's proclamations makes
tho statement that "the Public Service Commissions of
New York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Vermont, Mich
Ican, Kansas. Now Jersey and other States have RE
FUjBKl) TO ALIX1W competition and have adopted in
Us stead tho principle of QUALIFIED MONOPOLY
REGULATED BY PUBLIC CONTROL" It then pro
ceeds to say that the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company operates "under the control of
proper public authorities."
proclamation fail to say with respect to tho other
States that there the public service corporations are
under public control as to rates, service, and, in
most instances, as to the securities they may issue,
whereas, here there is no public Tegulation as to ser
vice and practically none as to securities, while tho
regulations as to rates establish n maximum that la in
hearty accord with the wishes of the public service
corporations.

No mistake has been made by the Levy Court in se
lecting L. Scott Townsend to be a member of the
commission that will supervise the construction of
the new city and county building at Tenth and King
streets. He has made a splendid record since he came
to Wilmington and there are few men here who are
held in higher esteem. His selection will give addi
