There is no other field of public interest in which there is so complete, effective, and continuously operating machinery for the dissemination of misinformation and silencing of opposition as in the domain of the public utilities in the U.S. Despite the revelations of the Federal Trade Commission's investigation, the public mind on many crucial points is ill-informed and confused. This is noticeably true in regard to the question of federal control versus State regulation. That there are honest advocates of State regulation, it would be folly to deny. But what is more to the point is that this policy is advocated also by all those whose purpose it is to defeat genuine efforts at adequate regulation.
