HOME ELECTRIC.
RATE BELOW
s CENTS
Average Charge for Household
Use Throughout Nation Is
Now 5.95 Per KiIoWatt Hour

On a national average, electric
current for all domestic purposes
broke through the six cents level
per kilowatt hour in the month
of March. The average of
revenue per kilowatt hour sold
now stands at about sos cents,
the lowest in the history of the
business, according to figures
compiled by the statistical re-
search department of the Ma
honal Electric Light Association
and issued today.
The new figure represents a
decline of full cent per kilowatt
hour, or IA per cent since 1925,
less than five years. The de-
cline. since 1918 is 2-3 cents or
81 per cent.
Individual Use Grows
While rates have steadily de-
creased, the average of electricity
used by the consumer has gone
up. From an average figure of
approximately 27O kilowatt hours
per year in 1918, the amount
grew to 427 kilowatt hour at the
end of 1925 and the kilowatt
hour figure is $50 at the present
time.
The net result has been an
Increase of 80 per cent in the
amount of electricity used since
1925 by the average housekeeper
although her annual bill has in.
creased only 10 per cent.
Domestic electric service now
stands at SO per cent Of its
average price in 1918. This is
in direct contrast to practically
everything else sold at retail
which is still we'll above the 1913
level. In spite of its abrupt de-
cline during the past IL months,
the composite figure for the
''cost of living" today is at a
level about 81 per cent above it's
1913 figure. It is still two and
q half times what it was in 1890
The price Of electricity is now
one-third of what it then was.
These electricity cost statistics
exen1plify the principle of lowered
cost with increased use and
greater diffusion of service.
Electricity in the home today is
one per cent of the total family
budget.
Production Off Last Week
With, the continued application
Of: the promotional rate StrHc-
ture and the extension of energy
using appliances in the home,
the consuming public is obtain
ing, in a steadily increasing de-
gree, more power for less money.
The production of electricity
by the electric light and power
industry of the United States
for the week ended Saturday,
May 9, was 1893, ,939, 900 kilowatt
hours, according to the associa-
ton. This is "a per cent below
the corresponding period in 1890.
The Atlantic Seaboard shows
an increase of 2.7 per cent in
electrical output above last year.
The great central industrial re-
gion, outlined by Buffalo, Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis and
Milwaukee, shows practically no
change and registers, as a whole,
a decrease of 6.4 per cent below
last year. The Pacific Coast
shows an increase of per cent.

Director New York University, Bureau

Economist Of Federal Trade

Economist Of Federal Trade
Commission
The fable Of King Midas illus
trates what happens when every
thing a person touches turns into
gold. We can't live by gold
alone, nor by money. We should
have learned by this time that
"easy money" does not make
business good.
Today we find the eaSy-money
policy, backed by our excessive
gold supplies, being pushed to the
extreme. Our Federal Reserve
System has put its charges for
credit to the member banks down
almost to the vanishing point.
1t is trying to force money"
upon the investor and business
man.
Too Much Credit
We had too much credit in
1929. We bought stocks and
commodities of all sorts on credit.
We sold goods to foreign coun-
tries on credit. Now we are
urged to use more credit.
At the very time when we are
trying to liquidate excessive credit
and get back to a sound cash
position, we find the Reserve
Board trying to pump in more of
the stuff.
But more credit is the last thing
we need now. What can we do
with it? Few corporations need
funds for productive purposes.
Most of them have more 2roduC.
tive capacity than they can use
now.
Assured Earning Needed
Few people will buy stock or
even ordinary bonds, because Of
uncertainty as to earnings. Under
present conditions, foreign bonds
will not go.
As long as the yield and future
market for a security are in
doubt, you can mark interest rates

down to zero without increasing
the capital value.
Are the authorities trying to
disprove the easy.money notion
by reducing it to an abSurdity?
Why not go the limit and make
bank credit free! cat the same
time, we might reduce the work.
lrlg time Of laborers to one day
or quit working altogether-and
double or triple the wage rates.
Surely if high wages and shorter
hours are good for business, that
would be logical0
Combine All Remedies
Then we would have all the
remedies" the inflationiSts want
free money, high wages and
plenty of leisure.
You say that would be ridicu-
lOuS. Well, 1t Is only q little less
ridiculous to argue for any arti-
ficially low money rates, high
wages and short hours at the
present time.
Unfortunately these things can
not be dismissed as a joke. There
is danger, for example, that arti-
ficially low, money rates may
help to keep credit frozen. They
may make it easier for business
men to hold stocks of commodi-
ties that should be liquidated.
They may delay the liquidation of
our still abnormal security loans.
Higher Taxes Seen
They make it easier for the
Government to float bonds and
use the proceeds to finance un-
sound public works." which will
increase our taxes.
AS Mr.. Mellon said the other
day, we are in for drastic eco
nomic readjustment. Such a re-
adjustment is required to give us
a sound basis for recovery. We
can't make a sound start until
frozen credits are liquidated and
values are thoroughly readjusted.
To the extent that initiation
and artificially low money rates
retard these processes, they will
delay recovery.

To Abandon Oil Field

1t is understood that the Smith
& Dunn oil leases here are to be
wrecked and abandoned. We GER
tainly witness with deep regret the
passing of the oil business in this
locality, but low prices and decreas-
ed production have made operation
improbable. This field was opened
about 80 years ago by j. G. Braden
of Pittsburgh, with the financial
backing of H. P. lines of
Pittsburgh and A. R. Braden of
Franklin, Pa. 1t has passed through
various hands, being owned at one
time by Mr.. Lombard of Hew York
City, who made his son-in-law Wal
ter Squires manager. After Mr..
Lombard's death it was known as
the Squires oil field. Later it was
sold to the Day Oil Co., Smith &
Dunn, managers, and fine COM
pressor installed. Hon. Charles
Dawes of Chicago, now our am
bassador to England, CONTROLS this
