What the Public Utilities Mean to You and Your Community!

Did you ever stop to think what the Public Utilities-the Electric, Tele- phone, Water, Gas and Railway Companies, mean to you, your community, and your state?
 Imagine the inconvenience, the discomfort, the loss of pleasure, time and money that would ensue if by some calamity all the Public Utilities in Arkansas should be compelled to suspend service Picture the result: No electricity for lights and power no phoning for the doctor, or the grocer, or the neighbor; pumping and hauling water, and in the cities chopping kindling and "totin in wood and coal, and either walking miles to work or paying 50c or S1 for taxicab. Without the public service companies it would be impossible for Arkansas to en- joy the prosperity, comfort and pleas ure it does today. Because of them we have better cities and better state. These Public Services can exist and con tinue to serve satisfactorily only if they prosper. Should they suffer you suffer with them Poor Public Service means poor business for the individual and the community
 The utilities of Arkansas are handicapped and community and state development re- tarded by reason of inadequate revenues and tendency in some places to harass the companies with unreasonable and un- just restrictions and taxation. This makes 1t difficult for the companies to obtain funds needed for extensions and replaeements.
 The utility business is no different from any other in that the revenues must be sufficient to pay operating costs and yield fair rate of return on the investment used for public service. It is different from other business in that if the utility suffers the community suffers with it. Suffers thr~ impaired service. causing discomfort and financial loss.
 The public must see that the utility receives fair treatment. For the public is most vitaliy and directly affected.

For the purpose of bringing the merchant, banker and cotton producer to better understanding, Governor C. H. Brough has issued a call for meeting of the 5000 bankers. 12OO0 merchants and numerous thousands farmers of Arkansas to meet in Little Rock January 5-6. The object of this meeting is to arrive at some definite understanding concerning the crop which is to be produced in 1921. Mind ful of the fact that few planters will be able to liquidate their indebtedness this year, which in turn will strain the credit of the merchant with the bank, thereby materially lessening the capital of many banking institutions, Governor Brough sets out in his call that the meeting is necessary in order that some understanding be had rela- tive to the crop to be planted in 1921, as well as the needs of the farmer in making this crop. The meeting is ex- pected to devolve itself into the search for workable plan by which cotton acreage in 1921 will be reduced and that the tillable land thus released be placed in food crop. This subject has been freely discussed in previous meetings, but there is a determination born of necessity which demands ac- tion. It is probable that some plans will be worked out that will result in legislative action, limiting the produc- tion of cotton during the coming year. Herbert Hoover will be one of the na- tional characters addressing this con vention. He is an authority upon marketing and is thoroughly familiar. with the needs of this and other coun- tries. His presence is expected to add materially to the attendance at this big meeting.
