and hence the opportunity

Instead of curtailing adver-
Using appropriations, the
far-seeing corporation will
strengthen and expand its
machinery of distribution,
increasing it's effectiveness
at every point. Instead of
sitting supinely by while
Europe supplies mining ma
chinery, agricultural imple-
ments, shoes and other com
modities to the countries
south of us, enterprising
American manufacturers
will seize the opportunity TO
get a foothold in South
America.
And how does the war
news affect the value Of
newspaper advertising! To
say that advertising in the
newspaper loses its value as
the intensity of public inter
est in the newspaper in
creases is 10 deny everything
that is fundamental in the
psychology of advertising.
American newspapers are
devoured every morning and
evening with increasing Gag
erness. The Munger for
news cannot be satisfied.
The newspapers are the mo
ton pictures of the greatest
struggle in human history.
Their circulations are in
creased by many thousands.

ter materials that can only
be obtained in a foreign
country directly affected by
the war, his advertising
problem is a very simple one.
He has nothing to sell.
But where there is one
American manufacturer who
is dependent upon foreign
materials, there are thous-
ands who use only materials
that are found in abundance
in this country.
Will there be fewer

No matter what happens
in Europe-we will have to
feed and clothe our own
people. Not only the neces-

He looks at the big war

such intensity of public in

Incredible as it may seem,
these questions are being

REGULATOR OFRATES
is PLAN OF HOWELL
Seeks Municipal Electric Plant
More to Monitor Private Utility
Than to Absorb It.
WARY OF COUNTER SCHEME

r. r. Howell, general manager of the
Omaha Metropolitan Water district, is
not over-sanguine m expressing hopes OF
the passage Of his bill giving the people
OF Omaha the right to acquire an electric
light and power plant Of their own.
"of course, am anxious for the bill to
pass" says Mr.. Howell, and l firmly
believe that II the legislature goes deeply
into the merits OF the case II win pass.
But then. l have no way OF knowing
what the legislature may do"
This counter scheme of having the legis-
lature throw all such matters over 70 the
control OF the State Railway commission
srouses some apprehension in Mr..
Howelrs mind. Governor Morehead him
self is understood TO look with favor on
the plan Indeed, as MIR. Howell under
stands Il, this move goes to the extent
Of vestlng the state commission with the
right TO say whether or not any munich
pality might acquire or build an electric
light and power or other utility plant OF
It's own.
Knock ON Home Rule.
That is" says Mr.. Howell, III the peo-
pie OF Omaha desired TO have an electric
energy plant they would have 10 go 10 the
state Railway commission and ask Il
about II before they could do anything. 1
submit that that would be a terrible mis-
take. You talk about home rule, II that
wouldn't be getting about as far from
home rule as anything could then miss
! my guess. The legislature has enough
power as II is, without vesting II with
| any more And the State Railway COM
mission, on the other hand, has about all
the business II ought to be asked to at
tend to.
'Weli, now, somebody asks me II I
haven't all want to do TO look after the
Omaha water works without meddling In
any other utility. Yes, have. I'm not
| looking for anything more to do. My
plan in proposing a law giving the people
of this city the right 20 have an electric
plant OF their own Is simply this. that !
| see here In this water plant potential
power resources that are unemployed and
could and should be employed for the peo-
pies service and advantage. SO far as ]
am personally concerned, It would open
up new labor. new problems and new
trouble. So Il is not a personal wish
with me.
SORT of DnmOcIean sword.
"And here Is another thing / wish
might be understood-my plan does not
contemplate taking over or putting the
present electric light and power COM
pany out OF business. wish simply
that the city might use the energy Il
has now unemployed In an electric en-
ergy plant OF its own more as regu-
lator of rates than anything else. So
| for Nc NO aro concerned tho present
company might continue in business. but
n the city had Its plant and was able TO
sell electric power and light to the peo-
Pile for much less than they now get IT,
then the old company would either come
to that price or you know what would
happen.
