Worlds Fair Sandwich

When people name foods, babies
and boats for events, those events
are certain to have clicked" and
to be eminently worthwhile.
Already the Century of Progress
Exposition at Chicago has had a
sandwich named for it, the Worlds
Fair Sandwich and we are not at
all worried now but the Chicago
exposition will be a huge success.
The Worlds Fair Sandwich al
ready has gained wide popularity,
and is being served on many rail-
roads, air lines, boat lines and in
the more prominent hotels thruout
the country. Undoubtedly, it will
soon be a commonplace in most
of our homes, and rightfully, too,
because it is splendid good sand
witch. 1t is made on toasted or un-
toasted bread of a half cup Of
chopped bacon blended in two tea
spoons of mayonnaise, and is said
to go splendidly with coffee, milk
or beer.
Anyway, the new sandwich is
a fine advertisement for the great
est Fair ever held in this or any
other country.

At the morning service we were
honored by the presence of Rev. j..

Sunday night we were again made
to feel good in the service of our
Lord. Just as visitors were being
introduced Mrs James Edmonds, who
was a visitor, asked permission to
say a word. She asked the question,
rs my husband a member of this
Church? She was answered in the
negative She then solicited the pray
ers of the church stating that her
husband was a true Christian and
that there was something that was
keeping him from connecting himself
with the church. Whatever it is she
wanted the prayers of every Christ
ian to help him overcome. A song
was started and for some time we all

UTILITY RATES-FACT AND
FICTION

More or less persistent demands in
various states that utility rate struc
lures be reduced in accordance with
the drop in the general cost of living,
show an unfortunate lack Of insight
into the conditions governing utility
operations.
1t is true that prices, generally,
have hit rock bottom. 1t is likewise
true that utility rates were at "bar-
gain" levels in the days when other
prizes were looming. merrily to the
skies. Surveys in 1928 and there
abouts showed that while the general
price index was two OF, more times
the 1913 standard, the electric and
gas rate index was far below. Even
now, utility rates r lower, in com
parison to the pre-war standard, than
are prices generally.
A utility is in a very different posi-
ton from the ordinary business. Cap
itaI turnover-income in relation to
investments slow, being about once
in five years, as compared with once
or twice a year in most businesses
Service must be maintained at a high
level whether business is good or bad
the company can't close its plant,
as can a manufacturing concern; and
await better days. And, while the or
binary business makes enough profit
in good times to set up handsome re-
serves against bad, the utility indus
try, ever during a boom, is allowed
only a very moderate profit, under
public regulation. y
Even if we could artificially force
utility rates lower, it would avail us
nothing. It would damage service,
cause unemployment, prevent expan-
sion and improvement, penalize in
v~estors, and have a hundred other
unfortunate aspects. Rates will come
down, as in the past, when the indus
try finds out how to produce and de-
liver power more efficiently and
cheaply. There is no other sound way
of achieving reductions n a|arlalsb

in which American prejudice operates
to deprive black citizens of benefits

not take such a course. It's altruism

THE EFFORT TO WRECK THE
UTILITIES

N. 1t has become the opinion Of many
di~spassionate and honest observers
that the principal motive behind dis
,proportionately heavy or unfair taxa
ton of the utility industry, is to
wreck the industry-and thus bring
about a "public ownership" millennium
in which gfhe government will build
and operate Jul power plants.
Today utility taxes run from IL to
II per cent Of gross revenues. If tax
es levied against utilities were also
levied against other industries, there
could be no complaint Of injustice to
one. The dangerous thing is the ap-
pearance of taxes and tax measures
which are aimed at and applied to the
utilities alone-special taxes, class
taxes. A good example of this is the
action Of the Senate in shifting the 8
per cent federal power tax from con-
sumner to investor-an unprecedented
piece Of legislation. In every business
taxes are legitimately included in
operating expense and are passed
along to the customer in the price Of
the service or commodity sold. Now
the utility industry has been denied
the right to follow a business prac-
tice Of centuries standing.
Again, the North Dakota legisIa-
ture recently passed a law levying
IL per cent gross revenu tax on all
utilities within the state. Had North
Dakota really been in need of new
sources Of income, it is certainly
reasonable to assume that it would
have created a tax which would fall
as equitably as possible on all types
Of business, instead of singing out
one for attack. Here in another ex-
ample of a planned effort to wreck
the industry through taxation.
A public which disregards these
matters, believing them to be a pro-
blem for utility arrangements and
to fight about, is mis-
taken. It is a public problem Of the
Importance problem touching
Jobs, earning power, standards Of liv
ing. More important still, It is Of vital
Importance to u principle of govern
nent-equal taxation for all. The
systematic effort to destroy our pub
ic utilities must be stopped by public
understanding Of its hypocrisy.

PARALLELS OF OUR LORD
The Heart Of God Exposed
By Dr.. A G. Bearer

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
Text: 1t was meet that we should
make merry.-Luke 1882.
This is both the climax and the
conclusion of the exciting story of the
Prodigal Son. He is at home. The
neighbors have welcomed him He is
restored. And he has learned his les
son.
The purpose of the parable was to
expose the heart of God, or to give
unmistakable evidence of His love,
His s~olicitude, His anxiety, as these
concern mankind. And it makes very
plain His willingness to forgive and
restore. This attitude is set forth in
Isaiah 1:18, and Isaiah 55:7, and it
is emphasized in John 3:14.
The skeptic may try to discredit
God in regard to existing evil and the
innate tendency toward sin. But,
while we cannot understand the pur-
pose of God in permitting the pos
sibility Of sin, we do know that He
has made ample provision for the
forgiveness and remission of sin, and
the complete restoration Of man to his
primitive estate OF righteousness.
In this parable we have the lessons
of free moral agency; of the newt
able suffering that follows sin; of
the human element in all that pertains
to mans salvation; and these should
afford ample ecouragement and as
surance to all who may wander from
the right way.
