foreign companies which suspended on

Revelle declares further that the
companies have grossly perverted
and misused their franchise and rights
in coercing and inducing other com
panies to quit business; that they are
holding their licenses to prevent the
organization of new companies or the
licensing of other foreign companies;
that by suspended business they are
attempting to impair credits and cause
great financial loss to Missourians.
and that they are trying ito coerce, in
timidate and wrongfully influence the
duly constituted authorities of the
state

In the nrst few hours after the ac-

In this way eight bodies were brought

The men, working in relief shifts,

$1,000, ooo, 1000 HORSE POWER.

Twelve billion horse power-that is
the combined electrical power output
of the $500 central stations in the
United States. Can you conceive
what these figures actually mean?
One literal soul to whom the ques-
ton was recently put objected that
there aren't that many horses in the
world"
There aren't. The objection was
perfectly sound. But the fact remains
that the power output of this coun.
try's central stations is just about
equal to the energy OF those twelve
billion hypothetical eauines.
And that is not one half of the
total electrical power produced in the
| United States. The twelve billion
total includes only public service com.
panies and does not include the great
steam railroad and manufacturing
companies which produce and use
their own power. The total power
thus produced is easily double the
output OF the central stations.
1t is little difficult for the mind to
grasp what such vast amounts o,
power really mean. Take it this way:
The largest standard locomotives
which pull the fastest passenger trains
are rated at about 5000 horse power
1. would take nearly 100000 of these
big locomotives to equal the energy
produced by American electrical pow
err stations. Take the biggest trans.
atlantic liner, nearly thousand feet
long, with its engines rated at 10000
horse power. To equal the electrical
power output of the United States
4 would take 342,S57 of these liners
with combined strength that would
reach more than twice around the
globe.
