favor from President Harding

is pretty well dominated by Hoosiers
George Lockwood is there swinging

Wand Frank p. Litschert, former sec
rotary to Governor Goodrich, is con.

the friends of Senator Jim" Watson

Now. without that situation having
had time to heal, along comes an
other upset which gets official recog-

to chastise Europe and paint her as
a financial sinner without thought or
repentance was too much. Secretary

committee submitted in great humll-

are not disturbed.

ground a utility is entitled to a fair
return only on what it "prudently
and honestly invested"
The case was that of the State of
Missouri against the Southwestern
Bell Telephone Company. The State
demanded lower telephone rates. The
telephone company contended for a
fair rturn" on the cost Of recon
structing" the telephone plant. The
telephone company said the lower
rates were "confscatory" and vio-
lated the constitutional provision
against taking property without due
process of law" The State courts ap-
proved the lower rates. The Supreme
Court now reverses the lower court
Twenty-Five years ago, the Supreme
Court held in the case of Smyth VS..
Ames that a utility was entitled TO
the cost Of reconstructng It's plant
That was precedent. Conditions
have changed since, but the Supreme
Court restates the old precedent.
Brandeis Opposes Ruling
In opposing this decision Of the
court Justice Brandeis said:
The thing devoted by the investor
TO public use is not specific property,
tangible and intangible, but capital
embarked in the enterprise.
The constitution does not guarantee
TO the utility the opportunity to earn
return on the value Of all items Of
property used by the utility. or any
Of them ."
Justice Brandeis showed that the
court $ decision establishing recon
struction costs" involves estimates
and opinions and makes them pre-
vail over facts BY insisting that
capital invested" should be the
basis for rate-making, certainty
would exist, he said
Return on Obsolete Property
If the aim were to ascertain the
value in its ordinary sense) Of the
utility property, the inquiry would be.
not ,vhat it would cost to reproduce
the property. but what it would cost
to establish a plant which would
render the service, or in other
words, Al what cost an equally eff
Cient substitute could be then pro
duced The utilities sem to
claim that the constitutional protec
ton against confscation guarantees
increment and upon the cost Of
property rendered valueless by OBJ

Out IN the steel vault of the Bu-
reau OF Standards is a heavy bar OF
metal Of special alloy, from which
all yardsticks and rulers spring.
It is known as the meter bar. BY
an act of Congress, the meter is de-
fined as exactly 1887 inches in length
Congress did not invent that figure
but copied II from the international

Every ten years. they send the
