STATEMENT INSPIRES
CONFIDENCE

Grounds for believing that the
proposed Tennessee Valley power
pool may be worked out on really
fair basis are found in a recent state
ment by Arthur Morgan. chairman of
the IVA, and well known engineer
and educator
DR.. Morgan said that private in
dustry and capital have a right to
reasonable returns on the fair value
of used and useful property and
should not be compelled to surren-
der legitimate investment without
proper compensation. He said fur
ther that determination of rates,
values, distribution areas and other
matters involved in the power pool
should be made by boards satisfac-
tory to the utilities as well as to
the government.
Most important of all, he stated
this undeniable fact-that the pri-
mary requisite of success in creating
power pool is mutual confidence.
DR.. Morgan. according to recent
press dispatches. has been strongly
opposed to the ideas of the eXtre-
mists i'm the government ownership
camp who would like to see the pri-
Yate utilities driven into acquiescen-
ce by fair means or foul. He is said
TO favor a reasonable arbitration of
instead of useless and |
war.
This reasonable attitude must OBJ |
tain if the the power pool is to be a
success and the rights of investors
in the utilities protected Dr. Nor
gan's recent statement will he appre-
ciated by all fair minded persons.

WHO WOULD PAY
YOUR RE N T {?

Zone of our friends, whose house
burned down recently, is not so
cheerful these days" writes cor
respondent. AT first he said every
thing was all right because his lire
insurance would cover the loss. But
now he is grumbling about paying
rent for another house while bis
own is being rebuilt"
Who would pay your rent while
your house was being rebuilt, If fire
destroyed or damaged it? Not the
fire insurance company, unless you
included such protection in your
policy, as you can also do for water
damage, aircraft property damage,
explosions, etc.
The case comes to mind of man
ufacturing plant which turned out
delicate instruments. One day an air
plane soaring overhead dropped a
part of its landing gear which crash
ed through the roof and wrecked an
important machine. Much of the
company's production was held up
for weeks because of this accident
and considerable loss resulted from
delay in making deliveries.
That is why aircraft property
damage insurance has come into be-
ing. Protection also is afforded for
loss OF use and occupancy, for
sprinkler leakage, water damage.
explosion and steam boiler accidents
all new hazards in our high-speed
living.
Numerous and interesting types of
insurance coVerage have had to be
developed during recent years TO
meet hazards that many property
owners are yet unfamiliar with.

PUNITIVE TAX BURDEN

All who have faith in American
principles of government will be
cheered by the fact that, in the re-
cent election. the voters of CalifOr-
MIA defeated proposal whereby
chain merchandising systems within
the state would have been subjected
to a special punitive tax that would
have virtually forced them out Of
business.
Under the proposed tax law, the
tax OH some large chains would ac-
tually have tOtaled about as much
as their profits have been in some
recent years. This wOald have been
in addition to all other taxes paid
by the chains.
ShOrtsighted persons felt that the
tax would be of benefit to indepen-
dent merchants, by eliminating com
petition. The truth undoubtedly is
that the tax. if passed. would event
ually have been extended to other
businesses. Furthermore, il is diff
ticult to conceive of millions of con-
sumers long submitting to measure
which would inevitably force up the
cost of living.
II is reasonable to believe that /
California voters defeated this un
sound measure because they real
lied it was un-American in principle.
The merits or demerits of the chain
stores were not vital issues-the
principle at stoke was. 1t is to be
hoped that other states where mea-
sures may be proposed will follow
this wise example.

Stop, Look and Remember

On December z. a special Senate
investigation of railway financing
reached the open hearing stage in
Washington. 1t made front page
news, doubtless. because it is hard
ly possible that anything as big as
the nations railroads could have
been financed without an error here
and there.
Again, however. it is necessary to
remember that the exceptions do not
prove the rule. And, more important,
it is necessary to try to find out
what is behind the investigation.
This investigation is headed by
Senator Wheeler of Montana, who is
chairman of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee. Peculiarly, he
has pending a bill calling for gov
ernment ownership and operation of
all railroads. H. A. Wheeler, chair
n an of the Transportation Confer
ence, has issued a statement in New
York pointing logically to the belief
that there might be connection be-
tween the investigation and the
gOvernment-Owners bill.
If the second Wheeler is right.
then It really is time to Stop, Look
and Remember. For once before-in
the World War emergency-the fed
eTal government commandeered and
operated the railroads And now,
eighteen years after that emergency
ended and the railroads were restOr-
ed to private ownership, the federal
government. is still paying off the
deficit it piled up.
The only other job the government
ever attempted which is comparable
to that Of running the railroads is
that of delivering the mail. And each
year, the Post Office ends up with a
deficit running into the millions
Yet we still pay Scent postage when
cents is the normal" fee.

This is not to say that government
should take no hand whatever IN the

In almost all the states, and that type
Of regulation has proven generally
effective and progressive In protect
ing the interests Of investors and
consumers alike. Spokesman for the

there Is room for Federal regulation
Of certain phases where state author

PROTECTING YOUR LIFE
AND PROPERTY

Periodically thirty men, represent
ing all sections of the United States,
gather in a laboratory in Chicago.
The chances are you never heard
OF these men-but they are busy
working to protect your life and
property.
They constitute the Fire Council
which was organized by the I'm
derwriters' Laboratories, the institu-
ton which tests all manner of ma
terials to determite their fire hazards.
The Fire Council members cOntri-
butte first-hand information on the
field service record of products hav-
ing a bearing on fire prevention and
fire protection, comment on reports
OF Underwriters Laboratories tests
OF new products, and otherwise aid
IL keeping the Laboratories5 safety
standards and test methods in step
with changing conditions.
For example, at the last Ere COun-
ell meeting the newest developments
in fire-resistive building materials
were discussed by these experts. At
tentiOn was given to glass masonry
units for use in window openings, ex-
terror walls and interior partitions,
and similar products. Samples were
examined and problems likely to
arise from the general use of the
products were Considered with view
to reducing attendant fire and acci-
dent hazard.
Work of this kind is carried on
quietly and efficiently, year after
year. Its results are found in better |
and safer home and industrial con-
struction; in safer household appli-
ances, ranging from electric cords
TO ranges; and in improved factory
devices for preventing or minimizing
fires and accidents. Thus tremen-
dops amount Of potential destruction
to life and property is prevented.

THE GENTLEMAN FROM
LONDON SPEAKS

Keep the politicians away from the
electric industry
This warning was sounded by
John C. Dalton. manager and secre-
tary OF the County Of London Elec-
tric Supply, London. England, at the
recent World Power Conference held
in Washington, d. C. His exact
words were: "If we want to develop
our industry 10 the advantage of our
customers and the millions Of small
investors in our stocks. let us for
heavens sake keep the politicians
away from it"
Thus il would seem that the cleo
trie industry in Britian faces the
same political problem as does the
industry in the United States. And
it is very big problem indeed. For
a great many years, men have been
running for Offices ranging in inn
pOrtance all the way from city cOun-
Gilman to United States senator on

how they planned to serve it and
why they made those choices.
They were as eager to explain
for they felt they had obtained a
masterpiece without any help from
the side. They were planning to
use the lace tablecloth that came
on Mary's birthday; red candles
in the silver holders, tied with blue
cellophane ribbon; two red and
one white carnation in their rose
bowl, and dishes of red, white and
blue mints on the table.
Their dinner was a three-course
affair, they reminded me. and
each course was symphony in it.

served before they sat down at the
table, had canapes for an accom-
paniment. The artichoke canapes
were to be made by seasoning
hard-cooked eggs with vinegar,
tinting it delicately with blue col
oring, spreading on toast rounds,
and topping with a slice Of arti-
choke heart that had been soaked
or marinated, as Jane insisted, in
vinegar and oil dressing. A grape
fruit was to be the holder for the
red cherries on toothpicks.
For their main course, they
wanted to have croquettes with a
tiny toast hatchet buried inside
before browning. but since they
had never tried this and they had
perfected the art of fried chicken,
they felt it safer not to expert
ment. This chicken was to be
fried just as Jane had done it last
Sunday, but to add a Southern
touch, they were serving it sur
rounded by quarters of corn waf-
fles and garnished with a rich
cream gravy.
The dessert was made in the re-
frigerator, so instead of a nodded
salad (Which would have meant a
security of ice cubes), they were
using olives and relish that could
