PRESIDENT WILSON AND SECRETARY
MADOO ASK RELIEF FOR PUBLIC UTILITIES
They Maintain That Public Service Corporations Must Be
Given Adequate Rates Because They Are
Essential to the War

Washington, July 2s.--one thousand
and seven (1,007) corporations fur
nishing the public with light, heat or
traction, whose rates had been fixed
on peace-time costs for a term
of years, were given advances by city
councils or state commissions during
the first five months Of this year.
These acts, prompted by patriotism,
doubtless, because efficient public
utilities are necessary to the winning
of the war, showed moral heroism, for
the positions of councilmen and COM
missioners are political, and when
they are fair with "Big Business"
they instantly are assailed by the
demagogues who have played for
popularity by attacking the aggre-
cations of capital which make public
service possible; by the Socialists
who demand the abolition of capital
and rights in property and by the
envious and greedy class, who hate
everyone who has saved money so as
to be able to buy stock in public
utility-the classes who charge coun-
cilmen with SELLING out to the inter-
ests" if they allow public utility q
living rate.
Who Are the Public?
The pufolic is eou and me and the
other fellow. The public is always
fair, even liberal, when it knows all
of the facts. 1t is always suspicious,
and properly so, when asked to ap-
prove transactions concerning which
it lacks facts necessary to the forma-
ton of an intelligent opinion.
That the national government has
officially taken cognizance of the stu
alton, which if not relieved, soon will
wreck large majority of the light,
heat, traction and power companies
is shown by instructions issued by the
president in February.
The secretary of the treasury
wrote, in part, as follows:
Dear Mr.. President:
1t is obvious that every part of
our industrial and economic life
should be maintained at its maxi
mum strength in order that each
may contribute in the fullest meas
ure to the vigorous prosecution of
the war. The transportation of
workers to and from our vital in
dustries and the health and COM
fort of our citizens are dependent
upon them, and the necessary power
to drive many of our war indus
tries and many other industries
essential to the war is produced by
chem. =.

Cordially yours,
(Signed) w. G. McADOO.
After giving consideration to the
facts submitted by the secretary, the
president replied:
The White House,
February 10.
Mr.. Dear Mr.. Secretary:
have examined with care the
memoranda and letter which you
transmitted to me with your letter
of the fifteenth.
/ fully share the views you ex-
press regarding the Importance Of
the public service as part of our
national equipment, especially in
war time. It is essential that these
utilities should be maintained at
their maximum efficiency and that
everything reasonably possible
should be done with that end In
view.
/ hope that state and local au-
thorities, where they have not al
ready done so, will, when the facts
are properly laid before them, re-
spond properly to the necessities
of the situation. / shall be glad
to have you communicate with the
local authorities whenever the in
formation in your possession sug-
gests that such course is desirable
and in the national interests.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.
The comptroller of the currency,
John Shelton Williams, in his annual
report, makes a strong plea, as do
the President and Secretary McAdoo,
for relief Of the utilities. Mr.. viii
liams points out that the maximum
efficiency, which the president says
is essential, is not possible "under
existing conditions" and that the
utilities must have higher rates to
make it possible.
Those companies that are going di-
rect to the people with their cases
on the ground that they will get a
square deal from an informed public.
are cutting the ground from under
the chronic kicker, agitator or self
seeking demagog. The situation Is
crucial or the head of the nation would
not take it up as he has done.
The federal government evidently
intends to support public authorities
in advancing utility rates to a point
which will make effective service pos
sible in war time.
