URGES LOWER
POWER RATE

Every five years the u. S. de-
partment of commerce complies a
census of the nations electrical in
dustries and the last one issued,
for 1882 contains matter that is
of extreme interest and importance
in view of the strong national trend
toward municipal ownership Of
this important utility.
Rates for electrical energy should
be reduced to as low a reason
able cost as POSSIBLE in order that
this important necessity may be
available to all classes of individ-
uals, to encourage greater use and
to promote industrial development.
Many municipalities, realizing the
growing Importance Of electric en-
ergy. have acquired or constructed
their electric utility systems in Or
der that they may obtain lower
rates, added street illumination and
other public benefits and advan-
tages.' the census report points
out.
1t is shown that from 1927 to
1882 the increase in use in kilo-
watt hours per domestic customer
per year has been 27.6 per cent and
in the classification of statistics by
states the lowest use per domestic
customer was 460 kilowatt hours
per year at an average cost of 7.3
cents per kiloWatt hour while tn

essentials o. his platform in two
eastern speeches. The recent Bal
timore speech and the address of
last Saturday in New York proyid-
cd Mr.. Roosevelt with several
choices. He could have ripped in
to his opposition and advised the
walk-out brigade of Democratic

speeches avoided personalities to
lay down future policies to be car

again
Republican critics see the end of
a breathing spell" i'll the RooSe-
velt program as it is taking shape.
Observers generally believe Mr..
Roosevelt would accept reelection
in 1886 as mandate to continue
with so-called experiments to re-
build" America by national PLAN

gram as revealed in the New York
speech, particularly. indicates the

it may not be given direct en-
phasis in the Democratic cam

speeches. Mr.. RooSeveltS 1886 plat

plankS:
/. National action for a limited
work week. stable employment and
adequate minimum wages.
?. encouragement of high min

senile labor from payroils.
3. National attack on economic

highest use was 1912 kiloWatt hours
per domestic customer per year in
a state where there was the low
st average rate of OF cents per
kiloWatt hour.
The experience of many Ameri-
can cities where low rates for pow
or prevail, chiefly under municipal
ownership and operation, show that
such low rates are not the only
advantage of benefit sought. Such
plants through their successful OPP
Grafton accumulate a reserve fund
which is used to lower municipal
or district taxes in addition to Civ
ing their customers lower rates
which lead TO an increased use of
electrical appliances.
