DURING the fiscal year 193435, the National
Board Of Fire Underwriters spent $1,331,516, ac-
cording to William H. Koop, the organization's re-
firing president, to promote better fire underwent
ing conditions in the United States.

stock fire insurance company, whether, a member
of this organization or not they have Injured to the
benefit of mutual insurance companies; they have
Injured to the benefit of every manufacturer, mer-
chant and property owner, and to every man,
woman and child in this broad land of ours, " said
Mr.. Koop. In other words the National Board
functions largely in the interest Of "service to
society as a whole
For example, 1t carries on an interesting cam
paign in the interest of fire prevention. 1t pro-
vides municipalities, industries and home owners
with invaluable scientific advice that, if followed,
greatly lessons the change of a fire starting, and
prevents its spread once it starts. It has created
q Model Building Code, which a legion of towns
have adopted, and which assures that all types OF
construction shall be as fire resistant as is practi-
cable. It maintains the Underwriters Laboratories,
which carries on exhaustive tests to determine the
fire risk inherent in gas, electric and heating ap-
paratus, and building materials, and which pre-
scribes safety standards for manufacturing these
articles. 1t cooperates with private and public
bodies in bringing about better fire protection, and
in improving alarm and water facilities. And it
carries on an u~nceasing war, in conjunction with
state and municipal authorities against arson; a
war whose success is reflected in the declining to-
tai Of fires Of dubious origin.
That work benefits every American citizen. 1t
IS impossible to estimate how many million dollars
il has saved the nation, entirely aside from the in
finitely more important saving in lives that would
otherwise have bee4 sacrificed to the god Of fire.

Out of Struggle
and Hardship

"Out Of the struggle and hard
ship that has besieged the coop
erative movement in many states
throughout the country during
the last few years, will develop a
new group Of friends and sup
porters of farmers organiza-
TONS" says the Dairymen' s
League News of New York.
The chaos of depression gave
rise to the belief that government
al control could solve the prob
lens of farmers. New leaders
leaped into prominence overnight.
They gained followings, some
times large, because they promis-
ed much, and because thousands
who had been crushed by the
weight of depression suffering
were still ready to follow any new
flag that came along.
"Out of all this came new laws.
new boards and commissions set
up by the government to rule the
business Of the farmer. These
boards and commissions were
manned in many instances by men
conspicuous for lack Of know
ledge of the problems they were
to grapple with . men who had
spent a lifetime guiding the coop
erative movement were ignored.
Men who knew the ms and outs
of marketing problems were not
consulted.
"Of late there has been eviden-
&c Of changed views. Some Of the
men who set out to control by
mandate Of law have learned that
cooperatives really have some
thing to offer. They are finding
that more can be done through CO.
operative effort than will ever be
possible by law.
You can take a horse to water
but you cant make him drink /;
and you can pass all the laws you
like but they won't necessarily
work. Economic law still is SUI
perior to legislative law. If
government has learned that in
the case of the farmer, agriculture
will have a better chance to bring
prosperity out of depression.

What is the Answer?

cents, a reduction of 80 per cent.
The same politicians who were responsible for
quadrupling the cost of government in a generation,
are lamenting the "high cost of electricity; which
amounts to only one or two per cent of the average
family budget; and are asking the taxpayers to let
them run the power industry.
Is this concern over power designed to divert at
tention from the quadrspled cost Of government,
fer which they are largely responsible?
Would the politicians who ran the cost of gov
eminent up over 400 per cent in 20 years be good
managers to reduce the cost of electricity or any

Statistics Tell the Truth
By. &. Hofer.

PROPONENTS of the Public Utility Act of 1885,
which proposes to eliminate practically all gas
and electric holding companies of the country by
1910, have two rguments on which they lay espe-
cial stress.
First, they hold that neither consumers nor in
vestors receive genuine social or economic advant-
age from holding companies, and that individual
operating utilities, disassociated from any parent
company, can adequately serve the c%ountrys needs.
Second, they charge that "write-ups'' made by
the holding companies in the securities of operating
companies have inflated the consumers power bill
to outrageous limits.
Both of these claims are graphically answered
in a series of charts issued by the Electric Bond and
Share Company; a representative large holding
company, with subsidiaries in many states.
In 1884 as compared with 1888, the company 5
properties in Tennessee showed a net decline of 4
per cent in operating revenue. Those in Arizona
defined 60 per cent and similar declines, rang
ing from OF. to Ga per cent occurred in Texas, Louis
lana, Minnesota, Montana and Utah.
1t is obvious that, had the Bond and Share Com
any's properties been entirely located in these
areas, owners of the concerns securities would have
suffered severely. More important still, the OPP
Grating utilities involved, being temporarily on the
decline, would have found it difficult to obtain
needed funds; and some Of them might have been
forced to retrench, at the expense Of service.
But the Bond and Share Company also held in
terests in properties in Alabama, the Carolinas,
Kansas, Nebraska and other states, where net in
creases were registered. As a result, all of its com
panies averaged a gain Of .O8 per cent for 1894 over
1888. Thus, geographical diversification protected
the interests Of investors and consumers alike. in
shat money lost by one operating concern was made
up by another within the same system.
The statement of the Bond and Share Company
in the matter of "write-ups' is especially impress
s1ve. These "write-ups'' are usually made when
a holding company assumes control of an operating
company, improves its facilities, perhaps extends
its operations, and otherwise makes It more valu-
able than before. When that is done, the holding
company advances the value Of the operating com
pany.
It IS claimed that these advances in value have
led to the creation of false rate bases; and so have
increased the cost of power to the consumer. Here
are the actual facts concerning Electric Bond and
Share subsidiaries:
In every case, the rates of the operating utility.
following the "write-up,' have showed steady de-
creases. This can be attributed to but one thing
the increase in operating efficiency made possible
by holding company management.
The advocates Of the Public Utility Act Of 1885
claim much and make many charges; charges and
claims that are alike thoroughly and unconditional
" disproved by cold, truthful statistics.

ton Of historical facts 80 faciant-
es these hungry boys they seem
oblivious of the supper bell.
Let us 60 inside the mess hall.
This is indicated by a hand-paint-
ed marker of carved wood. We
learn that this sign, like similar
ones on the hospital, recreation
hall, supplies, officers quarters,
garage and supervisors office, is
the work of Emery Faucet, a col
ored enrollee, who has in the past
two weeks been promoted to the
position of sign painter for the
Gettysburg National Park, as well
as the camps. He has been given
an office at the supervisors
building. More Of the artistry Of
enrollee Faucet, who hitch-hiked
from California to Pennsylvania,
finally landing up in the Gee
camp at Gettysburg, is strikingly
apparent on the inside of the din
ing room. A gray and black color
scheme predominant throughout,
not only on the walls and ceiling
but even including the huge
built-in- ice box, which we are in
formed was constructed by the
boys themselves. The twenty
five tables are highly polished
and appear to be Of a fine quality
of mahogany but in fact are Just
made of plain pine lumber. The
long benches are likewise spick
and span. The enrollees repeat
grace in unison while standing.
The aroma of those platters stack
ed with crisp, luscious fried ham
will not sOOn be forgotten. On
the wall at the end of each table
was a green mental holder, in
which a card was inserted bearing
the typewriter name in full Of
each enrollee who had a seat at
the table as well as the name Of
the special leader at the top. His
job has to do with the general de-
pertinent and a rather brotherly
concern for the more timid young
sters who might possibly fail to
get the necessary food require
ments for a healthy body.
Captain Moran introduced us to
Lieutenant Paul K. Monaghan,
Senior Leader Lawrence johnson,
a colored enrollee and Chef Char
les FOy, a colored locally enrolled
man. We then proceeded on our
way, stopping to inspect the ice
box which was stacked with fresh
