Utilities Need
Cooperation Of Public

20 HE greatest need in connection with
u public service is thoughtful, intelli-
gent consideration of public utility prob
lens on the part of the public.
This was the opinion expressed by one
of our leading statesmen of Oklahoma in an
address delivered recently at the annual
convention of the Oklahoma Utilities Asso-
citation. The speaker made the point and
cited illustrations to prove it, that public
ignorance of utility affairs and utility pro-
blems is great bar to successful operation
and often stands in the way of giving the
public adequate service to which it is enti-
tied.
"If any business is to be maintained
permanently along the line of it's endeavor
it is very essential that there are not con-
tinued chickering's and snarings and fight
ing and dissatisfaction, nor that there may
be dissatisfied patrons And, in order that
there may be no dissatisfied patrons, it is
important that they should know what the
facts are"
As an example of the ignorance of the
general public about utility matters the
speaker told of meeting a friend on the
train. The friend protested on the high rate
lie was paying for electric current, assert
lng ITclL HIS Idlc NdS WHdI ~ He'u
been before the war.
81 said to him, let me tell you the exact
facts with regard to the company. You were
paying l3 cents kilowatt hour for domes-
tic light before the war. Rates at this time
have not been changed But said he, you
bet the bills used to be $15O to $500 and
now they are $3.50 and S4.O0 said, Yes;
just how long has your wife had that vacu-
um cleaner?' We'll, yes said he, she has
got one Then l said, You didn't always
have an electric iron in the family, did you?
If you will take the trouble to look around
and see how much current you are actually
using, you would perhaps understand bet
ter"
Regarding rates, the speaker said:
"The facts are, as we know, that the
public largely seems not to know that utili-
ty rates during the war and for the first

year of soaring prices after the war were
not increased at all. They were adjusted
here and there to more nearly conform to
the value of the medium of exchange that
was used in paying for them."
"You know" the speaker continued,
"that corporations are frequently referred
to as 'man-made men, Well, with these
private corporations l guess that is very
we'll, but when you take public service
corporation you never feel like comparing
it to man at all, it is so different from the
private corporation: There is nothing from
my point of view, that public service cor
poration can be compared to except & work
team. If you expect work out of a team you
can't get corn fed service from grass fed
horse, not continually 1t is necessary to
portion out enuogh feed to keep him salts
fled and presentable and able to trot once
in while if you get in hurry.
"Now, the bare fact that money is in
vested in public utility does not, alone,
entitle it to return. The amount of the
return should rest a great deal on the eff
cheney of the management.
"There should be some inducement for
efficiency management if we are going to
make it a success"
Although the speaker was dealing only
with the situation in Oklahoma. his words
apply with eolal force to the utility indus
try in other L. alties. The reason that pub
lie utilities are in many cases the objects of
distrust and suspicion ) that the people
have been misnformed about them, the true
facts are unknown, and the general public
has not taken the time to investigate the
matter and learn the truth For this reason
the tendency is to believe the charges lodged
by the politician and to consider his pro-
nouncements the truth where, in all reality,
his statements may be childishly absurd.
There is only one attitude which any
community can afford to adopt toward
public service corporation operating in the
community-helpful cooperation.
Our public and our public utilities will
have to pull together if either is to prosper.
They will not prosper separately.

this hie space, thirty feet wide and
nearly hundred and fifty feet long,

We understand that the local post
of the American Legion expects to
give a number Of dances at intervals
during the Summer. most of which
will be outdoor affairs like the one
