The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-02-18

Of last year many of the discriminatory and
unwieldy rates based on local units have been
replaced by the system method.
BY these steps Indiana already has moved
to correct in this state the glaring rate dis
crepancies brought to light in the recent ma
tional survey conducted by the Federal Power
Commission. when it was found that the
spread between high and low charges is as
much as S43 per cent.
Much of the wide variance by the survey
can be traced to the failure of state reguIa-
tory bodies to meet changed conditions in the
electric power industry by clinging to the OBJ
solete theory that only the used and useful"
property of utility that lies within the cor
porate limits of a city or town should be con-
sidered in fixing rate valuations.
With the interconnected power system
which serves Indiana, bringing electrical
energy from generating stations many miles
away. it is manifestly impractical to use only
the company's property within the city limits
as the valuation for determining rates.
Furthermore, any attempt to establish rates on
such an unwieldy basis necessarily must result
in discrimination between various cities and
towns served by the system.
In years past, each city and town was
served by a small plant located within its
boundaries and the entire output of that plant
was consumed by residents in the community.
1t was only fair, under such conditions that
the rates should be based on the valuation OF
that plant alone. Now each community is only
one customer of large system, and the cost
of the system operation must be borne equally
by all customers, just as any merchant estab-
fishes his selling price.
Further commentator can be given the
Indiana Public Service Commission in that
each change-over to the system rate was &C
companied by a substantial reduction in Gus
toners bills without the costly rate hearings
and litigation which always resulted in the
past when the case of each community re-
quired a lengthy separate hearing.
The fact that the last three orders handed
down by the commission, establishing system
rates and reducing customers bills more than
half a million dollars annually, were sought
on voluntary petitions by the companies also
gives rise to the hope that Indiana utilities
have seen the light and are attempting to
conform with the inevitable new deal promise
of cheaper electricity.

big business paralysis that appears

Townsend plan succeed? MIR.
Thomas must remember that big
business is now paralyzed since its
resort to governmental subsidy for
support.
Mr.. Thomas, as titular head, or
should I say, grand deacon" of the
Socialist party, should heed the con-
fusion of the moment and not con-
tribute to the general hysteria. The
Socialist party must begin to ex-
press itself through men grounded in
the feeling of a beautiful philosophy
that attends to all who have studied
the essentials, the all-embracing need
toward every human desire. We
should be done with men whose
rampage against this and that is
but the selfish desire for publicity.
The Socialist scheme would extend
the Townsend plan to larger field
not in terms Of so many hundred
dollars a month, but in terms of
economic and human security. AS
Socialists, however, we recognize the
implication of the Townsend plan as
a move against social structure

BY Mrs. Doolittle.
M. Trilby, I believe that Mrs.
w. M. G. has you on the spot just
about where you belong and we
know why you want to push us
married women out of the jobs we
have worked hard to hold instead
of getting out on your own and
doing something less desirable.
Within the last few years my
employer has tried out, with ex-
IRENE patience, IL So-called office
girls. All of these girls except two
were single. Their minds ran on
nothing except parties, boy
friends, clothes and appearance.
They wouldn't even eat enough to
have strength to work for fear of
becoming fat; their days were
filled with phone calls and per-
sonal calls in attempts to fit out
a party for the night; lunch hours
were extended in order to find
something to wear that would out
show the others to a certain ex-
tent.
So with all of these adverse con-
ditionS to face and from the fact
that all of these single girls and
one of the married women could
not do the work even halfway
right, the same old married wom-
an is still at the post earning
about twice as much for her en-
ployer as she receives in salary.
Out of the II try-outs, one OF
the married women stayed with
us two years until she paid for
their furniture and car and had
mastered the loan on their home.
She quit work, had a child, forgot
her Shol LAND, and had another
child.
Her husband contracted some
sort of ailment in his ear and face
and they are all four now on relief,
whereas if she had kept on work.

COMES TO DEFENSE
OF FARMER

BY Raymond Clapper.
I would like to enlighten R. j. B.
on a few things. Why wouldn't
the farmer be heard from coast to
coast when he was getting 5 cents
gallon for milk, Is cents for
wheat, II cents for corn, 2 cents for
hogs and no sale at all for cattle?
When he bought tools, he paid a
wartime price and other equipment
was just as high. When the farmer
gets a good price, labor will get a
good price in return. The reason
the farmer did not have to get re-
lief was that he knew how to man
age.
The farmer has been as hard hit
as persons in town, but R. j. B.
can not see it that way. He should
have gone back to his farm to live.
If he made good money on his
farm his tenant worked for little or
nothing.
Men living in town work from six
to eight hours day, but the farmer
works 16 hours a day. He pays
taxes on the idle ground that he
leases to the government and gets
in return a smalls sum. He would
have gotten more had he farmed the
land. Everything the farmer gets
he has to work for the same as any
one else.
Why can't the town women organ
ize home economics clubs the same
as the farmers wives. Instead they

they personally take to this kind of

any other paper that advertises its
fairness to a section of this kind

correspond the advertised fairness
of this section to another paper that
makes no promise at all, balance
the results OF both and the per-

closed they have put a $500 limit on the pur-
chase price of cars bought for department heads.
The State Department asked for $4,000 to buy
Secretary Hull new car.
The Labor Department. wanted to spent $500
to buy new machine for Secretary Frances
Perkins. Her old car was demolished in an
accident four months ago.
Secretary Roper was to have had a car cost

Now all these ambitions have been nipped by
