DON'T KILL THE LEAD DOG

The Saturday Evening Post recently published a
symbolic cartoon which illustrates with remarkable
aptness political abuse of industry.
The cartoon shows dog-team and driver against
a background of Northern SHOWS. The team has
been drawing. a tremendous load of bundles, la
bele6 High Costs Unbalanced Budget, Government
Spending and Government Competition in Business.
Apparently the dogs are weary and unable 10

Taxes, the lead dog named American Industry. The
second dog Expansion, has collapsed in the snow,
tongue hanging out, eyes closed. The fourth dog,
Capital Goods, is exhausted, as is the last dog En-
ployment which looks as if it were about to give
up the ghost.
Severe as this caricature is, it is eminently JUS
titled. If American business is to continue to pull
its heavy load, it must have confidence. 1t must
be given a chance. 1t must expand and develop.
1t must employ men. Instead, however, all units of
government seem trying to Guido each other in
tories, con6scate homes and farms, prevent con-
struction, destroy employment and investment and
drive capital into hiding.
1t is fOolhardy to beat and berate industry when
1t is weary and overworked-when it should be
given stimulation and confidence. 1t is the height

wolf pack of depression and unemployment are ii

THE TIMES

times were better than these, but there are folk
who still say they were in spite of admonition,
from such a reliable source.
1t all depends, of course, upon what constitutes

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
WHY NOT TRY BEING FAIR?

The Inconsistency of political attacks on the rate
structures of electric power companies, Is simply
astounding. These vicious attacks are witnessed
from California to New York. and from Maine to
Florida.
As a matter of fact, when power company Is
accused of charging exorbitant rates, the public
service commission of the state involved should be
attacked well.
The public service commissions of the various
states are composed of hgh-type men. Every
charge of rate robbery leveled at power COM
pany is charge against the personnel of a pub
lie service commission because they are the men
who establish the rates, based upon the facts pre-
scented to them.
So when the politicians hurl charges that power
rates are too high, and accuse the companies OF
seeking to rob the people, they should, II they are
honest say that the public service commissions
have connived with the companies to bring about
the robbery
The enemies of the electric companies are TAX
ing in lot of territory when they try to lead the
people to believe that state regulation has broken
down and that hundreds of highly intelligent pub
lie service commissioners have all been unfit for
their positions of public trust
As a matter of fact, state regulation under pub
lie service commissions has not broken down and
is the greatest safeguard the public has to
a quare deal for both the electric consumer and
the investor.
Municipal electric plants and government-owned
power plants claim the right to exemption from
state public service commission regulation. For
the protection of the taxpayer and the ratepayer,
publicly-owned plants should be strictly regulat
ed under the same formula as privately-owned
plants for it is yet to be demonstrated that polit
cal appointees who operate publicly Owned plants
are any more honest or efficient than the managers
of private plants that there is any less need for
regulating them in the interest of the public, than
there is of regulating private plants.-Monroe En-
quirer.
