LOO OF l PER CENT
By Z. Hotter.

Il II reliably estimated that the public utility IN
: dustry spent approximately s, 100000 in efforts
to present its side Of the holding company issue To
the public and to government officials. 1t has been
subjected to a vicious political attack for spending
this vast sum-.
The public utility lndustry,s total investment
Is, IN round figures, SIS, 600, 600, 600. In other words.
its s1,500,000 expenditure amounted to inst one
one-hundredth OF one per cent of the industry 5
value The money was spent in the hone that #
the people and congress were given facts one of
our greatest and most progressive industries might
De saved from uncalled for injury.
Contrary to what the politicians claim. the
sl'7V,OW did no come out Of the pockets Of rate
payers but out Of the pockets Of stockholders
Under the American system Of state regulation Of
Utility operating companies, they are permitted 70
earn only q limited and definite profit above the
expenses Of carrying on their business. That profit
when they are able to earn it, belongs to the owners
OF the property. If it is spent for some other mr.
pose than dividends, the consumer is not affected
at all.
The politicians have likewise said that spend
ing SL,5O0,OO0O by utility arrangements amounted to
misrepresentation Of stockholders money. The
number OF utility stockholders in existence IS re-
ported to be in the neighborhood of five million
and if the s1,50O,O0O had been divided among them
each one woul dhave received an average IF about
57 cents Not very much to defend a s15OO0O00 Ooo
business
4 would appear that utility homogeneous did
not spend too much ia combating the punitive bin

The price OF pork and pork pro-
duets recently returned to the
1929 high levels. Other fasic food
products are climbing the same
ladder, with the result that the
cost Of living j. daily becoming
more Of a problem to the average
American family.
As prices thus advance, the need
for food distributing methods that
eliminate handling charges Be-
tween producer and consumer. BE-
comes constantly more evident.
This same problem faced the con
sumner IN the early twenties and
caused the creation Of the large
scale food buying and selling or
CARNATIONS which have done such
valuable work, not only IN reduc-
ing the cost of maintaining the
consumer dinner-table, but il
benefIting the producer.
In this connection, it ~ well tC
remember that the producer vi
farm products, the farmer. ike
wise constitutes a great cOnsum-
ing market. The producer, there
fore, j. greatly interested not only
IN what he receives for what be
sells, but what he must pay for
what he buys. Growth Of chain
grocery merchandising, by elm
mating needless middIemen tran
saetions, has tended to increase
the farmers share OF the retail
selling price Of his products. while
materially lowering the cost vi
what he must buy ~ a consumer.

was burned with a loss Of s1,000,0O0-none Of which
was covered by insurance.
On February s, the State Arsenal at Spring
field, Illinois, burned Loss was $500.O0O-and
there was no insurance.
On April ., the 65-year-oId Oregon State Cap
ftoI was almost totally destroyed by fire. The build
ing cost 100000, and It's contents were valued at
$4,000, making a total loss Of S1, 100000. The
building was protected by a state insurance fund
which contained $4,000 at the time Of the dis
aster.
These are just q few Of the many public struc-
lures that have been destroyed BY fire IN recent
years-and which, being uninsured, represented
total loss to the taxpayers. In the best Of times,
a drain Of a million dollars on the taxpayers of q
city or state to restore a destroyed building, is q
burden-in depressed times, when every dollar OF
tax revenge should be used for new productive
purposes, 1t becomes doubly unfortunate.
The belief that a governmental unit can save
money through ''self-insuranee" is an old and per-
sistent faIlacy- In the bulk Of instances, insurance
could have been carried during the life OF destroyed
buildings for a fraction OF what was necessary to
replace them "Self-insurance" saved the taxpay-
es a penny-whiIe it wasted a pound
The tragic example Of the many uninsured pub
lie buildings which have been ravaged by fire, will
not be wasted if it causes other communities and
states to think-and then take the proper ACTON.

Any sound curriculum Of study
must be built around social and
cultural, as well as vocational in

be taught nutritional chemistry,
bacteriOlogy, farm mechanics and
engineering, forestry, the hand
ling Of farm insects and pests.
And he must be taught, as well,

izations, when weILmanaged and

SECURITY MI FIRST

There are two main reasons for
the exceptional record Of stabiI-
ity and safety made by the life
Insurance. industry during years
Of unparalleled stress.
First, the whole investment pro-
gram Of life insurance has but
one watchword Maximum safety.
The men entrusted with the hand
ling, investing, selling and rein
vesting of life insurance assets
are thoroughly trained and are
intimately in touch with indus
trial conditions throughout the
country. They have expert fact
finding organizations at their dis
p0sal, which produce important
information long before the pub
lie IS aware Of it. In brief, they
provide what the average investor
IS absolutely unable to provide
for hImseIf-scientific. realistic,
hard-headed security analysis that
makes few mista-es. As one life
insurance executive has said,
Eternal care and study III selec-
ton j. the price Of safety.
Second, life niurance assets are
widely distributed-both from the
standpoint of geography, and the
type OF holding For example, the
investment set-up OF a represen-
tative life company i something

UNIROFM DRIVING
LAWS ARE NEEDED

ONE OF the greatest barriers to fair and efficient
enforcement Of traffic laws is the lack Of uni
formitya III the traffic codes Of different states and
towns
Isl one traffic authority recently pointed out
when ne drives from one state to another, he doesn'
have toa stop and change his nickels. dimes and
dollars into other and different kinds Of money
but if he wishes to operate his car IN accord with
the law, he must at once revise his driving habits
He leaves a state where the maximum speed allow
I'D Is 40-and then must remember that now he
must hold his car down TO 80, He has been accus-
toned to traffic lights and signs placed on corners
now they are overhead in the middle Of streets
where he IS liable to miss seeing them entirely.
Suppose that motor car manufacturers pursued
the same practices as many cities and states. Sup
pose a man who had been driving the Smith car
wanted to trade it III for the newJ0nes model, and
discovered that it had a different kind OF trans
mission, required a different kind Of fuel, and pre-
scented major points Of difference in othr respects
Such a policy would be no more absurd than is the
existing policy Of our governmental units in adopt
ing traffic codes that are utterly at variance with
thOse Of a town or state 10 miles away.
The Uniform Vericles Code and Model MUM
cipal Ordinance, prepared by traffic experts, could
and should be adopted by every town and city. This
would not only give the motorist a break-it would
Immensely expedite the efficiency OF our police
and traffic patrol departments, and make an i'm
portant contribution to the cause Of highway safety.

THE RURAL PRESS

THERE are some 1880 newspapers and period
ieals published in this country. The greatest
proportion OF them are small-town weekIies, daiIies,
and semi-weeklies, and magazines whose principal
appeal is to the rural dweller.
The Importance, the influence, and the worth
of these publications can hardly be exaggerated
They are, az the San Francisco Arginaut has writ
ten. ssthe chief influence IN the thought habits Of
our rural population Of ~fifty-fOur million" And
the character Of their comment, both IN news and
editorial departments, well repays those who peruse
them.
AS result, the recent contest held by the mag
azine Country Home to pick the best country
newspaper correspondent IN the United States, was
Of much more Importance and interest than con-
tests usually are. The winner, a woman, lives in a
Missouri town which has a population Of twenty
seven, and i fifteen miles from the nearest rail
road For forty-four years she has been local cor
respondent for a rural paper in her county
Urban editors, on reading excerpts from her
correspondence, have been amazed BY its quality
It does not deal with crimes and misdemeanors-
Instead it tells OF the crops, the trials, tribulations
and achievements Of farm people who rarely make
the metropolitan headlines, but who, happily, are
more numerous and more vital to nation than our
gangsters, our political and business renegades, and
our ex-show-girl divorces.
Most interesting Of all, this woman's CORES
pondents. Winners Of lesser prizes in the contest
show the same qualIties-the same command Of
clear and vivid English The country newspaper,
little known a. it is to the city dweIler, is one Of
the finest, most permanent, and most deservedly
successful Influences IN our American life. Last,
but not least, il is the outstanding guardian Of the
nation in UNFOLDING our ConstituiOnt and American
ideals.
