It would grant to a federal com- mission power over public utilities similar to the powers exercised over transportation companies by the In- terstate Commerce commission. The document being circulated by the North Dakota commission is a/ brief prepared for the national asso- ciation of railroad and utilities com- missioners by John E. Benton, its general counsel. Tt alleges that federal courts always construe federal enactments in such) ® way as to broaden the powers of federal commissions beyond the pow- ers which the legislation was intend- ed to give them. It cites numerous cases in which the powers of the In- terstate Commerce commission have been broadened by court decisions and predicts that creation of a fed- eral commission to regulate public utilities will result in the same ex-| perience as that which the states have had with the Interstate Com-' merce commission. The document asserts that state) commissioners “have little faith that language. included in any statute, de- signed for the preservation of state | powers. will prove efficacious for that | purpose when subjected to the con-' struction of federal commissioners | and courts.” The Couzens bill would give to the commission it proposes to create jurisdiction over radio stations, The , state railroad boards are not opposed to that idea, the brief states. The | Gocument contains 16 typewritten | pages and is being sent to congress- | men, senators and such other ind viduals as the state commission feels would be interested in opposing pas- sage of the bill.
