MEETING THE DEMAND
Why an Adequate Light Plant InSureS Low Rates

The electric light company must meet
all reasonable demands for its service.
When building its plant, it must guage
the probable natural growth of the
community and the demand created by
increased use of its service. Conse-
quently the company must invest more
money in its plant than is required to
meet the needs existing at the time of
constructs
Any regulation which discouraged
such policy would mean that increases
in plant would only be made as the
demand increased That would be
costly to the public, for additions to
an electric plant cost far more than If
tho same additional capacity had been
included in the original construction;
and thus the public would lose the ben
eft of sharing in any increase in the
company's business, since the increase
is handled at a cost that prevents re-.
duction in rates.
For instance: assume that the pres
ent demand of community could be
supplied by plant costing $4,000, and
that the normal rate Of growth Of the
community life indicates that in = very
few years the demand for service will
have increased to point where plant
costing 100000 would be required.
Following the policy dictated by good
management, Of foreseeing this coming
increase, the Company invests 4100, 900
in its plant. Now, assuming that 8 per
cent annually is a pair profit; II the
Company is allowed to earn that much
only on the t75,ooo required for ths
existing demand, the amount Of it,
The Glenwood post., 1916-07-29

clear profit would be $4,000. But that
amount is only AZ per cent. on the
100000 actually invested. Logical
ly, under such system, no one would
invest in any plant beyond the existing
demand, and additions would have to
be made from time to time if any in.
creased business offers. SO that, by the
time the demand expanded to the cap
acity of your original 100000 plant,
at least $125,000 is probably invested,
no greater amount of business is being
transacted, and the rates would have
to be kept high enough to provide
$500 for the per cent profit, instead
of the $4,000 which would pay the
same rate of profit if the full capacity
had been provided at the outset.
A Company may not, In fairness, de.
mand profit on any unreasonable sur
plus investment, and it should also seek
to tighten the burden by being aggres'
sive in seeking new business.

IS VOTING A DUTY?

Some citizens vote because they think voting
is sacred duty, almost irrespective Of its re-
suits, but if duty were the only motive there
would not be heavy vote. Many people vote
because they are interested in or two can
didates or measures, others because they have
been induced by friends to join political orgam-
cations, others from force Of habit. But voting
is not duty, any more than walking down
street is duty, unless there is some worthy
purpose in view. A ballot is not magical

nature as well as in the political armament,
and for this reason hundreds of Lee county
electors of all parties will cast their votes for
Frank Oertel in in preference to endorsing the
candidacy of G. w. Storms for representative
from this district in the general assembly. Con-
solidation of county record business to the ex-
cluson Of Keokuk, should that be accom-
plished, would work great hardship and incon-
venience to many hundreds of tax payers
The two county seat office practice has been
in vogue for years in Lee county and has
worked out to the satisfaction of all who have
business to transact at either station. Mr.
Storms is basing his appeal for votes on a sec
tiona plea that make for antagonisms and Ger
tain i'll feeling. This candidates campaign was
born in political ambition, fathered by separ
ateness and nursed at the breast Of cupidity.
No such wicked attempt to steal the we'll earned
position Of Keokuk as a center of public ard
political activity has ever been made as that
now engineered by G. W. Storms and his dis
grunted followers.
