URGES REGULATION OF ALL UTILITIES New Type of Control Snggested by Professor Ruggles Chicago, Dec. 28 (UP)—A differ- ent type of regulation for public utilities than has been suggested be- fore was urged by Prof. C. O. Rug- gles of Harvard university at a meeting of the American political economy association here today. Professor Ruggles spoke to the American Economic asociation sec- tion of the general annual meeting.: Ness A for lots 1, 2, 8, 4, 5 and This regulation would call for the |loeated at the northwest corner of establishment of a number of fed- |Clinton street and Corbin avenue, which | petitioned 'by Vincenzo and Sebas- eral regional commissions would control the activities of pub- | tiana Ressitto; lic utilities within the zones ‘be- tween state ‘and federal jurisdic- tions. Professor Ruggles said the re- glonal commissions would pass on questions beyond state jurisdiction and a general federal public utilities commission could be appealed to from decisions of the federal re gional commissions. To objection that such new com- | missions would mean more red tape, | Professor Ruggles advised this argu- ment: Not Easy “It is not easy to understand how utilities which have expanded their kilowatt capacity in a 20-year period by 1,100 per cent output by 1,500 per cent and increased their own employes by 400 per cent can be regulated by the same number or type of agencies which were in exis- tence when the industry was much less comple: “In view of the fact that the busi- hess of the clectric power and light wtilities involves ~many technical problems, it would appear that fed- | eral regional commissions would be superior to a highly centralized con- trol such as we have developed un- der the interstate commerce com- mission for railroads.” That action should be taken only after a scientific study of the prob- lem, Professor Ruggles said. Prof. Calvin B. Hoover, of Duke university, Durham, N. C., speaking to the American Statistical associa- tion, which also is meeting in con- junction with the Political Economy #ssociation, pointed out that growth of brokers’.loans in the bull Wall street market of the last two years has not drained the bank credit of the country into New York.
