Why should power to supervise the

1. Because runny of these securities

own small savings in these securities.

By excess capitalization is meant
stocks and bonds which do not repre-
sent any art of the actual cost of
building plant, or supplying the
equipment and working capital. ‘
Public service corporations are dif-
ferent from private corporations.
Special privileges are always grant-
ed to’ public service corporations.
These special privileges are of two
kinds-(l) the right of eminent do-
main vis., the right to taleland, even
if the owner does not wish to sell—-
(2) the right to plate. something In

cannot place there; this may be gas

way. railway rails on the surface of
the roadway, or poles and wires above
the roadway.
These special privileges are not al-
lowed ordinary private corporations.
in return for these special privileges
public service corporations agree, as
a muttern of common law, to supply
the public with reasonable service at
reasonable rates.
Special priv ages are giicn to pub-
lic aervlcl) eor orations to enable them
to furnish reasonable ssrvlic (v.is.

variation.) to the public at reasonable
Intel.
Public _ who. corporations
therefore, monopolies.
E Special pvivliogsa can be granted to
only a lei. There is not room in the
ihlghways for nuniberlcss plpms or trol-
ley trucks. - o
The large cost of the necessary
pliuits and equipment makes duplica-
tion of plants undesirable.
As public service corporations arc
monopolies, the public. you and i.
must purchase gas. electricity, water.
transportation, etc., from one rticu-
lnr corporation or go without. his is
not true of ordinary prlvsic corpora-
tions.
it Is because public service corpor-
ations are given special monopolistic
privileges for the purpose of furnish-
are,"
that they are legally bound to supply
reasonable service at reasonable
rates.
A rate is not ordinarily reasonable if
It rim-s not allow the (orporslloii to,

How do dividends and Interest on

29 ,
Dividends (or public) ..f $400,000 (or
81.350000) per year on excess capitali-
tion mean that the corporation is mak-
ing an annual profit of $400 000 (or
$1. 250.000) after pining all operating
expenses plus a just return on the act-
ual cost of building its plant an‘d sup
pliyling Its equipment and working cap-
is]
Dividends and interest are paid
cash and from net income. Net
comm—gross income—operating cx
pauses. Gross income—total fares
paid by the people. Operating ex-
posure-total cost of- furnishing scr-
v cs. ‘
If net income Is
iii
in
larger than it
, ought to be it is because gross income
is larger than It ought to ho, or be
cause operating expenses are less than
they ougth to be.
Excessive gross lntome means ex-
cessive rates
Unduly low operating
means unduly poor service.
if rates are fair In Connecticut, is
service good? Do dividends on ex.
‘cess capitalisation mean excessive
rates or poor service? Does it explain
why 25 trolley tickets are not sold for
131.00? Does It explain why we are
compelled to stand in trolley cars at
rush. hours? Does it explain poor gas
and high gas bills?
Dividends on excess capitalization
mustmean either excessive rates or
needlessly poor scrvlcc~unless divi-
dends are improperly paid from cupi-
tal—iuid that means bankruptcy and
loss to investors.
Why are public service corporations
often over-capitalised?
I—In order to conceal from the pub-
llc the corporation's actual profits;
4 per cent. on ”4.000.000 does not
seem to the public so large as 12 per
cent. on 38.000000; 8 per cent. on
$125,000 does not appear so large as
20 per cent. on 350.000. V
s—m order to pay promoters profits.
if the actual cost of a trolley road is
paid by the bond issue sold to the pub-
lic, and the stock Is all given to the
ipromoters, the promoters can make a

thing has been done. and possibly Is

powers to examine the books of Insur«

1~B90ause public service corpora-
