POzVer To Tar
Is P0zyer To Destroy

The poWer to tax is the potUer to destroy. The
power to regulate is the pou0er to harass, hobbe,
and finally stife No one objects to just taxa
tion or fair regulation. Utilities realize they
must bear their fair share of the cost of re-
covery. But taxation should not be used to
the extent of irreparably injuring an industry,
when. during depression the entire country
is being urged to do its utmost to bring about
restoration and recovery.
A possible increase in Federal income taxes
alone of several million dollars is seen as the
result of change in the method of making up
Federal tax returns. This change made in
the middle of last year, and was retroactive.
Retroactive changes are admittedly unfair.
This was recognized when railroads were not
subject to this unfair burden.

Charges of
Decentralization

1t has been charged that overcapitalization of
utility companies has acted as barrier to the
establishment of just rates. Nothing could be
further from the fact Rates should be, and
are established at levels calculated to produce
fair rate of return on the sound value of oper-
ating properties devoted to the public service
The law of the land does not permit the estab-
lishment of rate schedules based on capitaliza-
tion Therefore, the charge that capitalization
has any bearing on rates is merely smoke
screen designed by agitators to mislead con-
sumers. The utility industry has not asked, nor
does it receive, any consideration of its capi-
talization from rate-making bodies.
Security holders in such companies as may be
overcapitalized can only expect proportion
ately low income from their securities but by
and large the utility industry of this country,
if allowed to earn fair rate of return on the
value of its operating properties, can pay all
fixed charges on its interest-bearing obligations
as we'll as reasonable dividends on its stocks.
Similar charges of overcapitalization were made
against the railroads until millions of dollars
had been spent in valuations of railroad prop
erty which showed that they were actually
undercapitalized.

Rate Reductions Are of Minor
Importance To Family Budget

Political agitators attempting to lead an un-
informed public to believe that radical reduc-
tion in domestic electric rates is one of the most
important necessities facing the people of this
country.
Actually the monthly electric bill is one of the
smallest items in the family budget, ranking in
amount tUell belotO tobacco and soft drinks.
If electric rates of domestic consumers in the United
States in half it toould mean a saDine of
less than cents day to the average American
family. On the other hand, such a reduction, if
made Immediately, would spell bankruptcy for
practically every electric company, both operat-
ing and holding, in the country. Can it be pos
sible that so relatively unimportant saving
justifies an effort to wreck one of the country's
greatest industries?

An Appeal to Reason
Government competition unfair taxation and unjust rate
reductions hinder recovery and threaten the of
millions of persons in the counys second largest industry

The majority of utility securities were
sound when issued by the companies and
bought by the public.
DRICES and values of securities were based
l. upon trends of earnings established over
decade or more Values of utility property and
the rates of return which utilities were allowed
to earn on these values were believed to be just
and fair by all groups connected with the in
dustry, including customers, investors, bankers,
security dealers, employees, and managements.
Where rates charged customers were contested,
they were passed upon by commissions and
courts.
Great changes have taken place. Attempts are
now made to force unwarranted rate reductions
through political agitation and threats of Gov
ernment competition. Unfair increases in taxes
Federal, State, and municipal-which, be-
cause of the fixed rates, cannot be passed to
consumers as is done in practically every other
industry, are taking away millions from in
