the Bank of Chile are now at the high

in Chile usually charge from l TO 3
points higher than the rediscount

countries and foreign bills arising out

The public presents comparatively little
paper for discount at the central bank,
preferring TO deal with the commercial
institutions. The central bank justif1es
its practice of charging l per cent

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 28.-Believing that
public utility rate disputes will become
increasingly frequent as n result OF
political agitation. investment firms in
Wall Street. which specialize in utility
securities are paying closer attention
to the rate question. More interest Is
shown in the State regulatory commiSs
sions. in records of voluntary and or
dered rate reductions and in all things
giving an indication Of how customers
in the larger communities feel toward
companies supplying electric and gas
service
Some of the inquiries received by in
veStment firms indicate that prospective
purchasers of utility securities are
showing a preference for companies
having the least friction with State au-
thcrities on rates. Recent controversies
of the Governors OF Oklahoma and
Kansas with natural gas companies. in
which summary action of one kind or
another was threatened If rate demands
were not met, have created some ner-
vcuSnesS among utility investors.
Political Hostility.
Demand for lower rates is. Of course.
mora or less continuous in some sections
and by some people in authority or
hoping to obtain 1t. Added to this now
are the business depression and the
sharp fall in commodity prices. Politi-
cal hostility is. of course. more embar-
RAISING in period of economic unrest
than in prosperous times. When times
are good. revenue losses through rate
cuts often can quickly be made up from
expanding gross earnings.
Public utility leaders say they are
not especially worried over the general
matter of regulation so long as the
States conflne their efforts to seeking
rates fair alike to the consumer and
the utility company. They are an
noyed by what they regard as attempts
by politicians to regulate profits of the
industry through the medium OF rate
control.
They also deprecate the suggestion
from political sources that the relative
ly favorable condition OF the industry
in depressed times is in itself an indica-
ton that rates should be reduced. 1t is
