Raushenbush, H. S. | September 18, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The legislatures of 1929 have met and adjourned. With a few minor exceptions the power men have beaten every bill intended to make regulation more effective or intended to relieve the municipal ownership of power plants from the handicaps put upon it in earlier days. It has been a year of triumph. Already in June 1929, they saw that there was to be no punishment for their presumption in influencing schools and press to teach a doctrine intended to entrench them and profit them financially. They began making statements, telling that they had done nothing for which they needed to apologize.
