Price Schedule in
Power Case.
HIGHER RETURN SOUGHT
Public Must Be Able to Pay
Service Cost, Mozart
Tells Company.

Utility rates must be reduced to
the level the service is worth-a
price people can afford to pay.
Rates must be such that the people
desiring the service can afford to
use it."
This new deal program of util-
ity rate making came today from
Chairman Perry Mozart of the pub
lie service commission as an an
swer to the Public Service Company
of Indiana demand that the COM
mission rate reduction suit be dis
missed.
Mr.. Mozart overruled the COM
pany plea to checkmate the suit and
announced Monday afternoon that
he will proceed on the basis that
the commission has the right to
make the company prove that their
rates are not unreasonable.
Seek Rate Boost
Company attorneys have contend
ed that burden of proof was not
upon them, but upon petitioners for
rate reduction. The petition in the
case was filed by Sherman Minton,
public counselor, who contended the
company made 100000 on
$40,000,000 valuation last year.
The company contends that it's
valuation is $50,0OO,OOO, return less
than Az per cent and that rates
should be raised to give them an
8 per cent return.
After Mr.. Mozart expressed the
commission stand, the company be-

The case will be continued
Wednesday.
Demand Reasonable Rates
Pointing out that the new method
being pursued in the case offers a
short way to the fact, Mr.. Mozart
continued
IF the utility takes us to court,
that would be no fault of this COM
mission, for it is charged with a
duty under the law to see that no
more than reasonable rates are
charged for adequate service.
In my experience, I have seen
millions thrown away in rate litiga-
tons with the railroads, on rate
fights and valuations, all with no
permanent results.
1T would seem that if the COM
panies, the people and the laws all
could get together, much expense
and delay could be avoided"
McCart one time was chief cot
sci for the Monon railroad.
Scores Company Chiefs
Commenting on letters sent out to
arouse stockholders against the
commissions consideration of rate
reductions, Mr.. Mozart took the
company officials to task.
These people didn't write these
letters without some suggestion or
contact" Mr. Mozart concluded.
Has the time come when rates are
to be fixed by referendum between
the ratepayers and the stockhold-
erS?
Maybe we ought to go a step
farther and suggest that rates be
fixed by secret ballot"

A busy moment on the floor OF
the stock exchange.
creasingly serves a social pur-
pose, and that in a stabilized
economy it would have no reason
for existence.
If that is an accurate analysis,
he believes, the stock exchange
will diminish in Importance as
circumstances direct and agita-
ton or governmental action to-
ward it's abolition would be
superogatory.
CT SHOULD like to see the eX-
change assume a more nor
NAL proportion in the public
mind" he observed. Then we
should not have the wide swings
which disturb conditions"
The banker admits the vital
itv of forces which are converg-
ing on the traditional forms OF
capitalistic enterprise here and
abroad. Yet he believes that
in the main, the valuable aspects
of the old order will be preserved.
He lists as chief among those the
rewarding of initiative.
He approaches the major prob
lem with detachment. AS a
concrete step toward adapting cap
italism to new atmosphere IN
this country, he proposes a change
in the public attitude toward tax
alton. He would have income
taxes levied on discriminatory
basis-extracting a larger share
from incomes derived from IN
vested funds, a lesser from in
comes earned by active men.
It is obviously unfair, he points
out. to take the same sum from
the $4,000 obtained by cutting
coupons as from the $4,000 which
a man or woman earns in salary
or as return from business.
Not unfriendly to the preva-
lent notion that wealth should be
redistributed, he holds that such
aan income tax differential-With
high inheritance duties-would &C
complish the purpose to the ao-
vantage of the active class. In
the one case, the income comes
from stored capital; in the other,
it is taken from money which
could be put to fresh use as cap
ital.
MIR. ALTSCHUL looks without
VI dread upon reforms in the
conventional system; larger con-
troll over Wholesale enterprise, the
assurance of well-being to under
privileged classes.
His personal interests are i'm
pressive. He is president of the
General American Investors Cor
poration, member of the eXecu-
tive committee of the American
International Corporation, Gulf
States Steel and the American
Eagle Fire Insurance Company, a
voting trustee Of the Minerals
Separation North American Cor

Books are his avocation. He is
former chairman of the Yale Lii
brary Associates, honorary presi-
dent of the American Institute Of
Graphic Arts, chairman of the
American advisory committee Of
the photographers Society of Eng
land. He turns from committee
meetings on the state of the Stock
Exchange to his collection Of fine
eighteenth century French print
ing. He recently gave to the Yale
library his collection of George
Meredith.
1t is, jerhaps, from these asso-
Citations that he obtains the his
torical perspective to be objective
in the midst of the troubled scene

URGES EARLY PAYMENT
OF TAX AS SCHOOL AID
County Superintendent Asks Settle
ment of Income Levy in October.

Pointing out that payment Of
state income taxes in October, in
stead Of January, will provide funds
for use of schools before summer
vacation, J. Malcolm Dunn, county
school superintendent, issued a plea
today for prompt tax payments.
"All money collected in October,
added to that collected in the last
July taxpaying period, will be al
lotted to schools in January" Dunn
said. Payments must be made in
January, but if taxpayers wait until
then, the schools will not receive
their share until July, after schools
have closed.

Says Untermeyer.
BILL SIGNING DELAYED
Whitney Asserts Action to
Change Site May Be
Abandoned.

BIZ United Prcss
NEW YORK. Sept. 26-The city
administration had before it today
the plea Of Samuel Untermeyer, its
financial counselor, to reconsider
pronosed taxes on stock transfers
and the gross income Of brokerage
houses on condition that the New
York Stock Exchange drop negotia-
lions to remove to Newark, N. j.
Mayor John F. O'Brien said he
would consider Mr.. Untermeyer'
recommendations. Meanwhile, he
said, he would delay signing the bill
to make the taxes effective.
Move Is Bluff"
Mr.. Untermeyer made the recon-
mendation late Monday at the for
NAL hearings before the mayor prior
to his signing the bill which would
put the taxes in effect. Mr.. Inter
meyer said he believed the threat
of the New York Stock Exchange
to move was a bluff, but added:
Nevertheless, I have been Seri-
ously considering the unexpected
effect Of the diversion of stock mar
ket activities to other cities on real
estate values and on the revenue Of
the state.
Must Sign Tax Bill
7 do not believe the city, in JUS
tice to the state and real estate in
terests, can take the step. The tax
will expire in five months, but by
that time the damage shall be done.
If the exchange refuses. there is
no alternative except to ask your
honor to sign these bills, both of
which are considered just, in view of
the needs of the city"
