Accountant Now King

In all these intricate negotia-
tions. the accountant Is king. On
w he can hope to penetrate the
mysteries OF the books Of great cor
porations and determine whether
a utility is making a fair return on
q fair valuation. Everything hinges
on this calculation Of valuation.
Conflict here between two theor-
les of valuation has been tncessant.
In past years, utilities have usually
maintained they should be valued
at cost Of reproduction new. Thus
during the years OF imitation In
the '2Os, their value on which rates
were based, was continually rising
Now that costs are declining, they
lean toward the prudent invest
ment theory" which would value
companies for rate-making pur-
poses at the amount actually and
prudently invested In them.
The U. s. supreme court has
repeatedly held that the cost of
reproduction new should be a
dominant element. But there is no
definite standard, and each case
presents a different problem.
New York, for instance, has just

washington, Jpne 20 - Thirty
years OF experience have left no
doubt whatever that the develop
ment OF electric power must go
forward under careful federal and
state regulation.
Even leaders of the utility world
have come to admit this, They
have found a certain stability in
having q monopoly of their field,
even under regulation. Vice-presi-
dent William j. Hagenah of the
Edison Institute put 1t this way
recently to q senate committees:
our business Is privately
owned, but 1t is dedicated to a pub
.lic service, which fact that state
recognizes. and for that reason
regulates US :"
Utility men have not always had
this attitude. The struggle to get
any regulation at all has been a
long one, but today all states but
seven have commissions controlling
the electric business.

AS water power sits opened up,
most of them were far from popu-
lation centers, and thus power
had to be sent long distances, often
across state lines. Many were on
federal land, and many involved
other questions. such as interfer-
ence with navigation Of rivers.
Thus water power brought regula-
ton to the door Of the federal
government.
" Back in 1902 Clifford Pinchot,
Theodore Roosevelt and the "con-
servationists" began their fight to
preserve public resources to the
public. This long campaign pro-
duced the Water Power Act Of
1890. which set up Federal Pow
err Commission to grant licenses to
develop power sites on navigable
waters, on non-navigable waters
where there would be an effect on
interstate or foreign commerce, on
public lands, or at government
dams. In these cases Uncle Sam
was to have jurisdiction. 1t might

day when he works. He works
about $25 q week straight
through the year. If that $25 was
clear profit, 1t would be swell for
Joe. But 1t isn't He has to

1t seems rather strange that so many
giep wholinsist upon having the most mod
ern labor-saving devices FOR their offices
and business establishments appear to be
Indifferent to the needs for similar equip
ment in their homes.
While this indifference is mostly un-
intentional. the fact remains that the av-
GRACE housewife is unduly burdened
through lack of facilities which might be
given her at relatively insignificant cost,
As recent writer on home economics aptly
says: Women take the burdens which
fall upon them. and bear them through the
employment of Anticipated methods at the
risk of losing their beauty. their health and
their husbands"
But perhaps the women themselves
are in part to blame, In many cases they
viii insist upon the purchase of a fancy
piece of furniture. or some non-essential
adornment for the home when the same
expenditure. or less. might provide any
one of the many devices which would light
EN- her daily labors.
One woman writer SAYS: Eve women
need more household equipment. and il we
would sternly resolve to permit nothing to
interfere with getting it. we would be much
happier and much pleasanter TO live with .
And. rs parliamentarian might say, her
point is wen taken.

DELINQUENT OFFICIALS

When The Citizen says it is travesty
on government for man to rece re sal
airy from city, county, or state, and
not pay his taxes to that city, county or
state, it is merely stating position it has
maintained for many years.
How long would merchant keep in
his employ clerk who let week after week
pass tmore properly, as an illustration in
this case, year after year,, and did not pay
the bill he owed the store?
The same principle that applies to that
clerk and that store applies to city,
county, or state official and the govern
mental entity by which he is employed.
1t would be effrontery for one man to
demand payment Of another whom he owes
money, and yer such situation is analogous
to an officials demanding his salary from
q city, county, or q state to which he is
indebted.
In view of these facts, The Citizen is
Fundamentally in accord with the move
ment initiated by Governor Sholtz to learn
what county officials in Florida owe their
state and county taxes. The Citizen does
not know what further action Governor
Sholtz will take when he receives the lists
of delinquent taxpayers among state and
county officials, but he would be justified
and would receive the communication Of the
people generally if he would demand that
the delinquents pay their taxes or: resign
their positions. Il u att.
If public office is a public trust, if the
public's dollar should be spent with the
same care that characterizes the spending
of q private dollar by thrifty business
man, then it is high time that decided ac-
ton be taken to put those conceptions into
practice and not let them be used merely
as flowery oratory to gain votes.
The state needs money. every county
in the state needs money. and tens of thou
sands Of dollars will be obtained if Gov
ernor Sholtz compels state and county Off
Gals to pay their delinquent taxes
However, that is purely the financial
side of the matter. There is higher side,
the moral one, the one that enunciates the
position that one must be faithful to his
puDuc Trust. 1naC trust IS NOT complete
if an official collects money from it and re-
fuses to pay It the money he owes it.. .
Besides. he who is in position of trust
should show good example What would
one think Of preacher who does not prac-
tice what he, breaches? The same thing
that applies to preacher, applies to a
county official. What does an ordir airy tax
payer think, when he is told to pay his
taxes, and knows that the very. men, the
county officials, who give him that advice.
do not pay their own taxes?
Only five Monroe county officials have.
their taxes paid up to date, and 7.are de-
linquent That looks like poor showing
but it Is excellent compared to that in many
counties in the state. where officials for
year after year over long period have
been drawing salaries and not paying their
taxes.
Finally, we sincerely hope that Gov
ernor Sholtz will go to the limit in this mat
ter, and The Citizen assures him ne will
have the hearty support Of every fair-mind-s
ed man and woman in the state. RI
