A Fresh Outlook.

To believe the best of life means to
encourage it. To enter new year with
an 0vrrburdcning sense of the liabilities
OF the old. means to handicap us in the
new race. II would be great thing for
this old world if at this season we
could wipe the slate clean and begin
all over again. If nations could forget
their diplomatic controversies and quar-
rclS, II commerce and industry could
for the while forget the bittcrnesSes of
competition. If society could overlook
the divisions that create great cleavagcs
between group and group. II churches
could forget their rivalries as we'll as
their conceits. if old feuds could be for
gotten and VIC could begin the New
Year unembarrassed and unencumbered.
what a happy forecast it would present,
Some of us have the unfortunate habit
of carrying our burdens from one year
to another. We arc unwilling to forget
our Strifcs and our controversies. with
tho result that the accumulation of
them wcll-nch burdens us to the
earth. We clearly recognize the fact
that VIC are living in world OF diverse
types of mon and women and this will
always be so long as human nature re-
mains the same. While all this is quite
clear to our CONSCIOUSNESS. nevertheless
we HOlQ To inc DCllel tlldt tle only way
to begin the New Year Is to begin it
with the confidence and assurance that
somehow out of all the old difficulties
of the past We are presently to emerge.
and that before us lies a better future
that promises more hopeful and a
more compromising situation. We con-
tend that whether We are dealing with
an individual case or with the larcer
group. we cannot improve conditions
by believing the worst of them, or
by thinking that they are beyond
betterment. Every now and again VIC
meet people who seem to think that
VIC are fallen upon time that is full of
foyeboding circumstances. They sec no
light on the cloud no hope for better
tomorrow, To their mind the world is
tobogganng swiftly to its doom We
cannot believe that these misguided
people are the ones who are making
any contribution to the betterment of
human conditions. They seem to be
without God and without hope in the
world. They are doleful prophets.
Over against this group we set that

Additional light on, the activities
of the Wisconsin Utilities Associa.
ton and the Great Lakes division
of the National Electric Light As.
ISOLATION in that State was shed
by John n. Cadby, executive score
tary of the Wisconsin association
in testifying before the Federal
Trade Commission today.
The Wisconsin Utilities Associa-
ton, Cadby testified. maintained
three fellowships at the University
of Wisconsin for utilities research
work, at an annual expenditure of
$1,000 and. for the year ending
April 30, 1928, spent an additional
$3.50 for agricultural engineering
research at the university.
The entrance of the utility asso.
citation into the picture occurred
after G. G.. Mess. of the university
and two others met to discuss the
need for research work, Cadby testf,
fled. Mess succeeded in obtaining
the interest of several agricultural
associations in the matter. Cadby
said, and the utilities themselves
Joined in after one or two other
States adopted a similar policy.
Covered Five Years
The fellowships maintained by
the utilities covered gas, light and
power and electric railways, and
were instituted four or five years
ago. Questioned by Chief Counsel
Robert f. Healy, Cadby told how
the university selected the men to
carry on the research work and
sometimes consulted with the utilI'
ties officials as to qualifications.
We would sometimes make rec
concentrations and select man
from the utilities" Cadby said. The
Wisconsin ASSOCIATION paid the money
to maintain the feIlowships in the
board of regents of the university.
Ihen the department heads would
usually recommend the men 20 con
duct the work.
During the year ending May /,
l928, the Wisconsin Utilities Assoc
cation maintained a speakers bu'
reau which arranged for 900 utility
talks, reaching $4,000 people.
Healy Offered in evidence a imam
clal statement of income and .ex,
renses for the period from May l.
l927. to April so. 1928, which was
identified by Cadby.
The income was $35,725 and the
associations expense was S3S,51l.
or the income. 81 900 was received
as donation from the Great Lakes
division of the National Electric
Light Association.
Approximately $4,000 was spent
for salaries. $1,512 for conventions
and meetings, and an additional
$4,000 for the maintenance of the
bureau.
Cadby said that his orga MIA ton
aroused sentiment in the State for
better textbooks and that he
learned that some publishing
houses were having their texts
revised because of the activities OF
