Prosperity Comparisons.


Some one has said that when all
the people in any country are en-
gagged in producing goods, that coun-
try is prosperous. 1t is from produC-
ton that wages, dividends and inter
est are paid. There are, however diff
ferent degrees of prosperity. We had
prosperity in 1899. We are having
1t again in 1925. Which period is
more prosperous?
In the 25 years since the end of
the 1896 depression-that depression
was over in lS99-we have become
more prosperous in almost every way.
Not only is every one as busy as they
were at that time, but all are produC-
ing more per man than they did -
years ago.
The output Of the American farm
measured in volume-that is bushels
pounds, tons, etC.--is 40 per cent larger
than 1t was at that time. There has
been and is regular flow of popula-
ton from agricultural centers to in.
dustrial centers because power farm
ing requires fewer men. There are
about so per cent more men engaged
in mining, vet they are turning out
three and one-third times the product
of % years ago. For every man,
woman and child there is two and
one-quarter times the quantity of
mined products than there was 25
years ago.
Manufacturing is producing two and
three-quarters times as much as il
was then with a relatively smaller
increase. in the number of men EN-
ployed. Two men now do the fair
road work that required three men
in 1900.
As we so down the list we see that
the necessities of life, food. clothing
and shelter are now more abundant
than they were a quarter of a century
ago, and also the medium for trans
porting them, namely, the railroads,
too, have increased their per man
efficiency.

Completion of a nationwide sur.
vey of State regulation of electrical
utilities by the Department Of Com.
merce, has led to the conclusion by
Secretary of Commerce Hoover that
nothing would produce worse serv.
Ice to the public than to aNempt
Federal control Of fast.growing
power development.
Confident OF the ability OF State
utilities commissions to adequately
protect the American people from
aggressions of vast electrical cor
porations, representing billions of
dollars invested capital and legally
constituted as monopolies, Hoover
said today:
"Nothing could be a more hide.
Gus extension of Capitalization in
the Federal Government than to
undermine State utilities commits
sions and State responsibilities than
Federal regulation Sof electrical
service
Because of the extension beyond
State lines. of the operations OF
electrical plants, which in effect
are conducting an interstate bust
ness, the demand for Federal con-
troll has been heard in many quar-.
tiers and has been proposed in Con-
gress.
These proposals led Hoover to
make a close study Of the situation.
His experts have already reported,
expressing the view that the States
''are equal to the task and are
doing the job WELL"
Hoover's survey disclosed the
gradual development Of a science
Of regulation and understanding of
drawing the fine line between min
imum rates to the consumer and
such reasonable profit to the In
dustry as will stimulate its ad-
vancement.
The nationwide average showed
rates to be slightly below pre-war.
in spite of 100 per cent increase
in wages and higher costs of fuel
and supplies. This is attributed TO
more scientific conduct of the
business.
The investigation showed that
more than one billion dollars q year
is necessary to finance electric
utilities. Fundamental changes in
plies vast consultations, intricate
mercial transactions and great Sc.
curity issues.
THAT the public has a definite
right and interest In these trans.
actions is no longer a matter Of
dispute" Hoover continued.
Hoover pointed out that the stage
setting for the new electrical era
is vastly different from the bitter
chapter of exploitation when the
railroads went through a similar
expansion" He said that the elec.
tric utilities have been under regu-
lation from their birth and that
| they are now under control through
practically the entire country.
Beyond this, the majority of
men who dominate the industry
themselves belong to new school
Of public understanding as to the
responsibilities of big business to
the people, Hoover concluded.
