Utility Regulation

The present plight of certain utility companies and
persons who have invested in them is striking proof
that committee conclusions of the nationwide con-
ference on regulation, held recently in New York
were not exaggerated.
The experts concluded that regulation has failed
to protect the investor in electric utility securities has
failed to obtain rate reductions for the consumer and
has failed to safeguard the credit of the utility
MES themselves
The men who met in New York were not in the
most part friends of government operation of utili-
ties, except that forms, occasionally one phase of
the problem of regulation They sincerely were seek
ing to make private operation Of utilities more
satisfactory from the viewpoint of all concerned.
Their recommendations for accomplishing this
revision of the present uniform classification of &C
counts establishment of the prudent investment prin-
c1ple of valuation, rate determination on the basis of
actual cost of each class of service federal control
holding company operations provision for national
and state power planning, withdrawal of the power
of federal courts to nfy regulatory decisions-are
eminently sound.
There is nothing in these proposals which should
be resented by intelligent utility company If thew
protected the credit of the companies and restored
the faith in investors in utility securities these pro-
posals would be extremely well worth while to any
organization.
In this day of cynical investors of shattered faith
in fabulous finance, they appear necessary to contn
ued success.
Fair accounting and actual, potent regulation
would, of course keep the utilities from making ex
cessive profits from watering their stocks from con-
cealing control and from evadng taxation
1t would, on the other hand, build for them what
undoubtedly would prove to be the soundest, most
uniformly profitable industry in the country.

in riding down hill with a copper

some stage of the journey, however
brief that period.
Most of the colts which carried
my hopes at Jamaica failed to live
up to this modest test. They were
contenders only at the barrier and
never thereafter. And yet I should
not be too bitter over this fact The

II. GORDON sELFRIDGE, t

IL. GORDON SELFRIDGE, the
4 l. London department store
owner, is here for a short visit to
his native land, and he offers some
advice for conduct during the de-
preston, which seems to me ad-
mirable.
He stated that the inherent in
stinct of all people to gamble can
not be quelled, and added: In
England, speculation takes the form
of betting one-half crown on the
sweepstakes, which, believe, to be
better than specializing in the stock
market"
In other words, Mr.. Selfridge
seems to think that each of us
should pick horse and then put
him away and forget about him. I
support the suggestion, because I
have tried it.
Only the other Afternoon I went to
Jamaica, L. l., with an earnest de-
sire to improve the breed. The
afternoon at the track confirmed
me in the opinion that there is not
much money to be made in this
way. But the same thing is true of
Wall street. And horse racing, at
least, keeps you out in the open air.

Millions Switch

MILLIONS of people have
4VA changed their minds toward
prohibition since 1928, without feel
ing ashamed, or losing their self
respect. Their neighbors and
friends think no worse of them for
doing so. Why should not the
President be treated with similar
tolerance? He should and he would
but for the superstition built up by
Anticipated politicians.
If President Hoover were to come
out tomorrow with wringing w.
statement, it would cause a great
sensation, but it wouldn't ALLEVIATE
half the support it would attract.
Look at what Ramsay Macdonald
did in England last fall. Our
orthodox politicians couldn't see
anything but oblivion for him when
he def1ed the Labor party, but he
came out of it with flying colors.
