Public Service Commission bill eyed with stockholder issue
The State Business Men's association proposes a five member commission at seven thousand five hundred dollars a year appointed by the Governor without legislative confirmation.

A Washington Star quip notes a husband’s fear of his wife’s resolve when she makes up her mind. It contrasts with the remark that every woman changes opinion occasionally and Henryetta’s firm stance on changing hers.
