Retains Old Formula
However, the bill retains the diff
ference in cost Of production formula
as the basic factor which the COM
mission should follow in e~qualizing
foreign and domestic competition. It
limits the president to act on d rate
found by the commission, with the
change restricted to so per cent up
or down as at present. Under exist
ing law the commission only reports
to the executive and he determines
the duty within the so per cent range.
The tariff commission is kept at six
members, three Of each political par
ty. although salaries are increased
from $4,000 to $1,000 q year. With
in 90 days after enactment Of the law
the commission would be r~eorganized
completely. with the president hav-
ing the right to retain any incumbent
he desired, subject to senate confir-

students from the Bismarck Indian
school which participated in the
contests at the Pierre, 8.
D., Indian school last week, returned
from there by bus and al Sunday
evening, coming by way Of Jamestown
on account of the muddy roads.
The Bismarck contestants won the
silver prize cup on music. They also
placed in other portions of the con-

winning more cups by the fact that
the other schools had teams of both
boys and girls and their score were
joined in making awards. From here
there were girls only.

in dramatics were won by Mary Sla-

Since the public has been com
monty aware of the slight cost of gen.
Grating electricity, utility companies
have emphasized the alleged high cost
of distribution.
"Oh, yes" one hears. I'VE could
afford to furnish the current for
nothing. What costs is distributing
it-getting it to the place where the
consumer wants to use it."
I have undertaken to prove, in a
number of ways which I have out
lined. that there is nothing to this
statement. For q use of 800 kilowatt
hours a year-a recent national aver.
age-the cost of distribution amounts
to about 2 cents a kilowatt hour; for
500 kilowatt hours a year this falls
to IL cents and for 1000 kilowatt
hours annually the distribution item
is about q of a cent.
What Traffic Will Bear"
When power companies in New
York state charge as high as II cents
per kilowatt hour it is time that the
public rejects the plea that the high
rate Of electric current is due to the
high distribution costs. The fact
simply is, as I have stated before,
that the electricity companies simply
charge what the traffic will bear.
The distribution system is part OF

cost Of distribution would become ap-
proximately ~ mills per kilowatt
hour. The domestic rates in Ontario
are such that high annual consump.
ton takes place with an actual aver
age revenue per kilowatt hour sold to
domestic consumers in 1927 Of 2.06
cents. This covered the cost Of gen.
Grating and transmitting the current
and general expenses, as well as costs Of
distribution.
It is the experience of a number of
electrical utilities, that where the
maximum domestic rate is under s
cents, the average consumption per
domestic consumer can be raised to
better than 500 kilowatt hours a year
and with rates still lower the con-
sumption may reach 1000 or over as
experienced in Ontario. A high first
step in domestic rate schedules ap-
pears to have q real lettering effect
on consumption.

A fair cost per kilowatt hour de-
livered to domestic consumers for all
charges from production to admin
istrative costs will normally fall be-
tween $50 cents to $50 cents per
kilowatt hour or a yearly payment by
the typical domestic consumer OF be-
tween $3.50 and $22.50. OF this
amount substantially $l2 a year Is
a cost which will not vary materially
whether the attached consumer takes
no current or consumes up to about
1000 kilowatt hours q year.
If q service charge Of that amount
were part of the rate, the current
charge should not exceed more than
2 cents and very probably would be
