Jefferson Coolldge Jr.. Norman W.

President Vail's declaration is her
aided as the first recognition by those
in high corporate authority of the jus
tice of the demand that the public
be regarded as virtual partners In all
matters that pertain to the common
■welfare. He goes directly -to the
point.
"Public control or regulation of
public service corporations by perma
nent commissions." he says, "has
come and come to stay. Control, or
regulation, to be effective means pub
licity; It means semi-public discus
sion and consideration before action;
It means everything which Is the op
posite of and Inconsistent with effec
tive competition. Competition—ag
gressive. effective competition—means
strife. Industrial warfare; it means
contention; It oftentimes means tak
ing advantage of or resorting to any
means that the conscience of the con
testants or the degree of the enforce
ment of the laws will permit.
"Aggressive competition means
duplication of plant and Investment,
The ultimate object of such competi
tlon Is the possession of the field
wholly or partially; therefore
means either ultimate combination on
such basis and with such prices as
will cover past losses, or It means
loss of return on Investment, and
eventual loss of capital. However It
results, all costs of aggressive, un
controlled competition are eventually
home, directly or Indirectly, by the
public. Competition which Is not ag
gressive. presupposes co-operative ac
tion. understandings. agreements,
which result In general uniformity or
harmony of action, which. In fact, is
not competition but Is combination,
unstable, but for the time effective.
It j
When thoroughly understood it will
be found that "control" will give
more of the benefits and public ad
vantages, which are expected to be
obtained through such ownership, and
will obtain them without the public
burden of either the public office
holder or public debt or operating
deficit.
"When through a wise and Judi
cious state control and regulation all
the advantages without any of the
disadvantages of state ownership
are secured, state ownership Is
doomed."
"If Mr. Vail Is right," says Harper's
Weekly, In a concise summing-up,
"then it seems pretty plain that we
are entered upon a new era In both
economics and politics. And it Is high
time we did If evolution is to sup
plant revolution as an efficient force
In the development of civilization."
