Bold as the power trust has always been, it would be difficult to find anywhere in its record an example of audacity and complete disregard for legal ethics to compare with that which has just been turned up in Miami, Florida. In this case it has picked its own judge to hear the facts in a suit brought by a subsidiary of the Electric Bond and Share Co. against the municipal government of Miami, Florida. This controversy is the heart and the substance of the power company's suit. It is not a question of law, but can only be settled by determining the facts.
