bOdying elements of grave dan

He then describes the advantages
which accrue to the companies by rea-
son of this customer ownership policy
and then points out the dangers, NEIL
tiOning among others, the following:
First, that while it may operate u
bring about a more cooperative spirit
amCnr the customers in matters OF
franchise-rate regulation, ETC., it may
cOnceivably work the other way IL
case of acknowledgement or derelictiOl.
Secondly, 1t sometimes tends to in
crease the sale prices for such securi-
ties above their real value. Il per-
sOnally know of an instance in New
England" says Mr.. Ripley, where
farmers were paying seven and eight
dollars share more for such sfcuri-
ties than the price which prevailed
over the country not far away page
3455. "But the greatest danger of
all" he says, sis the chance that some
one of these companies may go on
the rocks, fearsome thing to contem-
plate under such circumstances" Mr..
Ripley also mentions the fact that this
customer ownership movement mag
entirely conceal from investors the
actual security of the investment. The
complex nature of the methods OF
financing now INDUCED in by these
private companies make it almost i'm
possible for an ordinary investor to
determine whether the particular bond
or stock which he is buying is one
that has back of it any substantial
security or not. "Until the entire III
dustry is placed under definite finan.
cial regulation as to security issues,
says Mr.. Ripley, "by an agency of The
United States government, any pur
chasers of securities of these top com
panies does so absolutely at his owl
peril. (page 346l
And finally, what seems to US to b
perhaps the most misleading feature
of the whole customer ownership
movement, is the fact that those WHIT

In other words, the so-called GUS

is in reality not real ownership at all,
for the simple reason that it does not,
and in the nature of the case, cannot
carry with it any real control. What
it amounts to is simply loaning of the
