Hits National Monopoly.

THE giant power plan undertakes
to prevent the Nationwide electric
monopoly now almost formed from ac-
quiring industrial, commercial, finan-
cial and political control of this Ma
ton. It does not aim at public owner
ship, but demands that in all plans for
electric development the public inter
est shall receive first consideration.
Through effective public regulation
it proposes to break down and put an
end to the present unfair discrimina
tion in rates in favor OF great users
of electricity, and against moderate
and small users, through which the
latter are made to pay e1tortionate
charges.
"Superpower is the name chosen by
the electric magnates for their own
set-up of a Nationwide electric mon
opoly. Giant power and superpower
are as different as tame elephant and
wild one. One is the friend and fel-
low worker of man-the other, at large
and uncontrolled, may be a dangerous
enemy. The place for the public is on
the neck of the elephant, guiding it's
movements, not on the ground help
less under its knees.
Giant power means regulation by
the people of the coming electric
monopoly. Superpower means control
Of the people by the monopoly"

P|NCHOT EXTENDS

Giant Electricity Program Is
Taken Into Every Congress

By the Associated Press.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 20.--Gov.
Pinchot yesterday extended his giant
power campaign into every congress
sional district in the United States.
He sent copy Of the report of the
giant power survey in Pennsylvania
to each member of Congress and with
1t a letter in which he told the CON
gressmen that his purpose in sending
the report was the hope that 1t may
be of use to you in the widespread
consideration of giant power which is
coming"
Giant power" the governors let
ter said. is n plan for supplying
electric current for every purpose to
the people of America in greater
abundance and at cheaper rates than
ever before. 1t includes the produc-
ton OF electricity in enormous guam
titles. partly from water powers, but
chiefly at huge coal burning central
power stations near the mouths of
mines; the pouring Of that electricity
as it were into a great pool of power
for the service of all; and the saving
of the valuable by-products of coal
burned for power. 1t aims TO assist
and hasten the rapid expansion of
electric service.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
The Item of Good WILL"

The item of good will in a balance
sheet is often looked upon with sus
picion, largely because it is an in
tangible very difficult to express in
dollars and cents. Many large corpo
rations carry good Will on the as
set side at a nominal figure or omit
it entirely.
Undoubtedly this is a conservative
pra ctice. but good will has a very
real value, even If il is hard to ap-
praise. A company may have expend-
ed huge sums in advertising. making
its product a household word and es
tablishing a trade which competitors
are unable to encroach upon. Another
kind OF good will is that gained by
a public utility by fair dealing with
its customers and by frankness in
discussing its financial affairs. This
is the most valuable kind of good
will. but it hardly can be expressed
in terms of money.
Yet nothing Is more important to
a prospective investor than to ascer-
tain himself how the company, the
securities of which he is considering
buying. stands in the estimation OF
the public The public utilities have
been more fortunate in this respect
in recent years than the railroads. In
part this is due to the better progress
the utilities have made in enliSting
their customers as partners through
sale of preferred stock. Partly. 1T Is
due to the policy of the utilities in
giving complete information as to
their operation

The business committee idea will be

A proposed amendment on price
fluctuations, which the committee
would submit TO the membership, en-
powers the board of directors on 10

may provide that there shall be no

Such an emergency, ii was provided,

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, September 26.-The
more important questions raised by
the happenings of the last week in
the business world are what is to
be the effect of the recent decline In
farm prices, what will be the result
assuming a satisfactory conclusion
of the French debt negotiations, what
Is the significance OF the sharp
fluctuations occurring in money rates,
and finally how far has the specu-
latfon for the rise in stocks been
justified by the facts connected with
company earnings, with dividend
changes and with possible capital
readjustments3
So much lras been made. in the
discussion of the last year, of the i'm
provement in agricultural conditions
and Of what this has meant to the
buying power of the farmers that
any changes in the opposite direction
have to be seriously noted.
Grain Trade Miscalculated.
For one thing, the grain trade bad
ly overeStimated the damage done
to the corn crop by the drought pc
riod in the Summer. The discovery of
its mistake has led to a severe decline
in prices and corn is selling now
some 80 cents a bushel under what 1t
was a year ago. Other grains, with
the exception of wheat, compare
quite as unfavorably with the 1924
quotations.
In the case of wheat the main point
is the extent to which the market has
come down from the seasons high.
Wheat dealers have also gone astray
in their calcula tions. first regarding
the increases in Canada and in Eu-
rope.
The Government estimate of
cotton yield of nearly 100000 bales
when the market had been looking
for a further reduction caused an
abrupt break in prices. Cotton is sell
ing substantially where 1t did year
ago, and this means that the profit
Of the cotton raiser promises to be
comparatively small.
AS against this Is to be set the de-
cided improvement in the live stock
industry. Prices of cattle, Of hogs and
Of meat, products are much above
what they were last year at this
time. The agricultural communities
thus have lost In one direction and
gained in another. On the whole their
outlook ia favorable, although moth
ing to enthuse about. They appear
to face q season of moderate good
times, but nothing more.
Debt Settlement Is Factor.
II satisfactory agreement is con-
cluded between the French and Amer
ican treasury representatives over the
war debt 1t will be another factor,
even II a minor one. helping the plans
for domestic tax reduction. Second, it
will be a stimulus to the security
business, because 1t will release large
offerings of new French issues which
are contemplated for the American
market. but which are awaiting the
outcome of the debt refunding confer

but as 1t happens they have so far
had no reflection except for a slight
ly better tone in the French dollar
bonds. which logically would become
more popular with America n investors
II the big floating war obligations of
France were taken care of.
In single week the New York
banks more than doubled their borrow
ings at the Federal Reserve They
did this while calling in at the start
of the week Wall Street loans reck-
oned as high as 10000 900. These
operations readily accounted for the
jump in the call money rate from
3l2 per cent, as late as Friday a
week ago, to per cent last Monday
and for the subsequent quick decline
to 4.
1t has not been established. one
way or the other. whether the sud.
den upturn in money was in the
nature of warning to Wall Street
spectators that they were going
ahead too fast. But the market was
inclined to draw this conclusion, at
the same time recognizing that with
the immense credit resources under
the Federal Reserve system, there
could be no serious apprehension of
anything approaching an old-fashion.
ed stringencS.
On the Stock Exchange the indi-
vidual movements have been very
much mixed. The general average is
slightly under what it was a week ago,
h,yt hat ~
the top of the year. In general
way the speculative spirit has received
a check which most persons of ex-
perience would regard as saIutary.
If past experience is a guide, then
many of the rumors which have been
circulating for the last month about
dividend increases, extra stock dis
tributions and capital split-ups will
turn out to be either disa ppointfng or
to have been more than discounted by
the great rise in prices.
Motor Shares Steady Market.
The support received by the auto
mobile shares whenever they have
sold off at all has been a steadying
influence upon the market generally.
So has the strength displayed in some
of the dividend paying rails. Still they
have not availed to start up specula.
tive interest in the market generally.
Steel shares have not got away from
the adverse impression made by the
trade advices, which IL that the vol.
ume of business is good, but that the
price situation Is not at all good and
is seemingly not likely to improve vet
awhile. What little optimism was
aroused over the copper market two
and three weeks ago. has dwindled.
Neither the export demand nor the
home demand for the metal has come
up to expectations and prices have
fallen off. Naturally this has had its
effect upon the market for the COP.

of his nonpartisan bourgeois ministry
In motion. The Reichstag vote OF
246 to $50 yesterday approving the

phere, and the temporary adjourn
ment of the Reichstag will enable
the chancellor to coordinate his or
ganization without being exposed 10
further heckling for the present.
New Phnse of German Politics.
The advent OF the new government
signalizes a new phase in German
postwar politics, as 1t marks the
appearance on the government bench
of at least a half dozen cabinet
members OF Monarchial persuasion,
while only OF the 10 members hold
Refchstag mandates.
The fact that Chancellor Luther is
tolerated by the Clericals and the
Democrats is attributed solely to the
Impressive program with which he
sought the Reichstags support. but
there is no question that while the
cardinal features of this program
represent concession to the liberal
parties, even including the Socialists,
these parties purpose keeping the new
government under rigid surveillance.
Not on Safe Ground.
The Luther ministry's present ma
Jority, II Is pointed out, can be turned

forced truce suggests to political
