How IT Came About

At Indianapolis, Ind the other day, Paul P.
Haynes, member of the Indiana Public Service
Commission, which has charge of the regulation
of public utilities, was asked to make public
address on the public service situation. His
views we're desired particularly because he had
served on the commission through the war
period, when some of the graveSt public utility
problems in history came before him. Hence, he
was invited to handle the situation IN any way he
chose
HAYNES talked over the situation with some
of his colleagues on the commission, and then
went over to the meeting and told the folks just
what public service companies and the public
will have to do if the hired help-that is the
utilities themselves-are to be kept working.
1t is the high points of this straightforward
shoulder talk by a man whose interest is solely
the public interest that follow:
FIRST: = The average increase in utility
rates during the past four years was substantial
" less than the average increase in the prices of
the necessities of life
"SECOND-During the past four years most
utilities have earned less than fair return upon
their invested capital, and equity would seem to
require that during the next few years of down
grade prices, utility companies should be per-
mitted to recoup reasonable losses suffered IN
the period of grade prices
''TF1IRD-Utility rates were not, and are not
now, based on the peak of war and postwar OPP
Grating costs and therefore considerable re-
duction in commodity prices can occur before
the average of prices generally reaches the point
IN which utility rates, generally speaking are
now based
'FOURTH:-There have been millions of
dollars of deferred maintenance during the past
four years which must now be taken care of.
"FIFTH:-S1OO,OOO should be expended
for additions and Improvements in the next two
years by the utilities of Indiana in order to give
the public services which are vitality necessary
to the industrial welfare, health, comfort and
convenience of the people generally Hundreds
of millions are needed in other states. The pub
lie should know that these vast sums cannot be
obtained unless the financial showingS of utiIi-
ties such as to attract it in a market in which
all the world is bidding for money
"SIXTH:-The credit of utilities has been i'm
paired, and this vast sum of money cannot be
raised and the public cannot be served unless the
credit of public utility enterprises generally is
improved through the medium of adequate rev.
enueS.
"SEVENTH:-The welfare of the state and
the country calls for broad and sympathetic
understanding of these important facts which
should be of basic Importance in the formation of
regulatory policies

 Working alone, MT. Clark sa:'i yes tel day that he would be able to make two more complete one-line canning outfits by next spring. With small force of men and some of the parts now made by hands, turned out in a foundry, he says six could be builr here by next spring.
