to criticize these expenditures. In fact
we are glad to see them and to note
that in its program of economy the
administration is not seeking to econ
omize at the expense of the farmer.
We wish to suggest, however, that
those fellows, who two years or four
years hence, will come in to tell us
that the government never did any
thing for the farmer, clip these items
and carry them in their vest pockets
for ready reference.

In this brief statement, Mr.. Gift
ford has summarized the layout and
organization of the modern public
utility. While the telephone company
is larger than any other single util-
ity company in the world and has
been a leader in developing the idea
of customer and employee ownership,
the electric companies have been fol-
lowing close upon its heels and "one-
man ownership" is rapidly becoming
a thing of the past as their stocks
are absorbed more and more by GUS
toners and employees of the compan.
les in the territories they serve. Thus
by process of evolution are the
great public service corporations 81
this country becoming, in fact, pub
licly owned.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1924-12-11

customer ownership have sold $780,
100000 of stock and increased their
customer stockholders by more than
/ 100000. 1t is estimated that in
1924 electric and power companies
will sell stock amounting to $35O,OOO,
600 and add another million to their
growing list of stockholders.
Records show that the average
holdings of stock under customer own
ership are from three and a half to
four shares per person. While COM
NAMES are not averse to selling large
blocks to one individual they prefer
greater distribution.
In recent address Walter S. Gift
ford, executive vice president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company, explains the difference be-
tween public ownership of an indus
try and government, state or NUM-
cipal ownership. He says:
"The American Telephone and Tel
egraph company has about 34O,Ooo
stockholders. Some of our associated
companies have over 100000 prefer
red stockholders. In addition, there
are many hundreds of millions OF
bonds and debentures owned by sew
eral hundred thousand individuals
and corporations. Our business is one
which you may say is publicly owned.
Business has changed good deal
in the last twenty or thirty years.
The ownership has greatly widened.
Nobody owns as much as one per cent
of the capital stock of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company.
1t is not controlled or owned by a
small group of wealthy people. 1t
is owned throughout the United
States by 100000 stockholders.
at is an institution, an American
institution, grown up under American
laws, plans and ideals, which is real
ly publicly owned, engaged in rem
dering public service to the entire
country without competition, under
public regulation.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

MOT LONG AGO local barber
Nsaid to the editor of the Courier
Reporter: 'Tn today's receipts l took
in from customers, seven Pacific Pow
err & Light company stock dividend
checks"
There is really something signifi-
cant about this fact. These checks
were the Pacific Power & Light COM
pany's quarterly dividend payment
on the preferred stock. These checks
and other checks like them which
came into the hands of hundreds Of
people in the territory served by the
P. P. & L. company, and the thous-
ands and hundreds of thousands OF
dividend checks which other public
utilities issue regularly to their
stockholders are evidences of a new
era in Americas big business. They
constitute challenge to socialism
and furnish the answer to the ques-
ton of government ownership of pub
lie utilities.
The day of "one-man ownership"
or ga few-men ownership" of the
country's public utilities is rapidly
passing and giving way to the ideal
system of customer ownership, which
means ownership of the stock and
securities of a company by its en-
ployes and the people using its SER
vice. Wherever started, the customer
ownership plan has proved successful
and is being adopted more and more
by public utility corporations. The
benefits are manifold. Coupled with
good service it makes disgruntled Gus
toners satisfied, defeats the attacks
of those who would pull public utili-
ty corporations down; furnishes and
effective medium for companies to
raise new finances, distributes the
net earnings into many pockets in
stead of a few and leaves the money
in the territory where it originates.
During the past few years cleo
trio and power companies, through

NOTHING FOR THE FARMER

IN VIEW of the fact that during
every political campaign we are
told that government functions in
the interest of every class except the
farmer, it might be we'll to call at
tention to some of the things that are
transpiring at the present session of
congress.
When the budget bureau submitted
it's estimates for the next fiscal year
the only substantial increase was in
the agricultural item.
The agricultural appropriation bill
reported to the house Saturday calls
for the expenditure of $124,637, Ills
or nearly s60,OO0,OO0 more than the
amount available this year. Among
the items are $8O,OOO,OOO for post
and market roads; S480,000 for en-
forcement of the packing and stock
yards act; S11,53 for enforcement of
the grain futures act; $10,980 for
eradication of the foot and mouth
disease; 100000 for eradication of
boil weevil; $4,000 for enforcement
of plant quarantine; $4,000 for en-
forcement of the insecticide act; $2O5,
600 for administration of the ware
house act; $59s.940 for enforcement
of grain standards; $1SS,500 for en-
