DYNAMITE IN YOUR KITCHEN

Your kitchen contains everyday materials potentially as
dangerous as dynamitel
This was demonstrated recently in an apartment house,
when a tenant decided to bake n cake. In gathering together
the ingredients, she discovered that the flour, which she had
poured out into a dish, contained bugs. She stepped over to the
incinerator, the shaft of which ran up past all the apartments
opened the door and emptied the dish.
As she closed the door, a volcano seemed to erupt. A terrif-
lie explosion shook the place and a sheet of flame swept from
the shaft into the kitchen, disfiguring the girl for life. The
doors of the incinerator shaft were torn off in all apartments
were sent to the hospital. And yet, only a small quantity of
flour was emptied into that ncinerator-perhaps a pound and
a quarterl

with the fire at the bottom of the incinerator shaft.
Corn starch acts similarly under certain conditions. Ac-
cumulations of dust, such as are removed from vacuum cleaners
or carpet sweepers, unless compressed into a matted mass, are
also hazardous. A shovelful of dry coal dust, if thrown loosely
over a fire, could cause a devastating explosion and will, in any
event, cause a dangerous ~flash-back.
The way to avoid dust explosions is to keep the material
in a compact mass. When disposing of dust it should be put

WITHOUT COST TO THE TAXPAYER"

Would it be worthwhile for the nation to establish a public
utility policy, which, in effect, said go ahead, utilities You
will be regulated, but fairly Wild-catters in your midst will
be ferreted out and given a dose of strong medicine. Any
crooks will be punished to the full extent of the law. Adequate
laws will be set up to protect consumers and investors from ex-
ploitation. WelLmanaged utilities and their investors will be
protected and allowed to make n reasonable profit
Well, If countless experts are to be believed, such a policy
would do more than anything else to create confidence and spur
us along the road to recovery. Only the fear of governmental
competition and legislative stranguation prevents the utilities
from spending something like a billion dollars a year on new
construction. That money would go largely into the durable
goods industries, and provide employment all along the. line.
1t would create new taxable wealth and help prevent threatened
tax increases. It would open up investment and development
opportunities in a dozen great industries.
Going farther, it is an important fact that the more power
the utilities sell, the higher their standards of efficiency be-
come-and the sooner justified rate reductions are affected. It's
a continuous circle that never ends. Greater power demand calls
for more faciities-more facilities permit lower rates-and
everybody reaps the benefits.
We all want the best and cheapest electric service-we all
want to use more appliances and electric gadgets. We all want
a greater share in the blessings of electric power. The private
utility industry is ready to go ahead and give us all this without
new burdens on the taxpayers fit is freed from the dread hand
of governmen strangulation.

Well, why should we BET That question is never answered.
Now that the 1887 federal budget with an admitted billion

CATION, plus an undetermined relief expenditures, the taxrais-
ers are looking for new sources of income.
One plan that reports say has been suggested in Washing
is for a tax levy on the horsepower of automobiles. 1t is
pointed out that England, France and Italy have such a tax.
There are some $50 5000 motor cars in the United States.
1t is estimated that iw they average 20 horsepower each, they
furnish 500 000, 900 horsepower available for taxation. A tax
of one-half cent per day per horsepower, would yield $912,500,-
600 a year or $1,825 100000 a year if the levy were increased
to / cent per day per horsepower.
Automobile owners are already paying approximately one
billion dollars a year in Federal, state and local taxes. So what
does another billion more or less amount tot A penny per day
per horsepower, for a 20horsepower car, would be only 20 cents
a day, or $73 a year on top of present taxes.
The scheme sounds wild and impossible but we already bid
fair to be record breakers in other taxes, so why not trail along
and become Europeanized on our automobile taxesf No matter
how you figure public expenditures, they all come out of the
common citizens pocket.

SIG. OOO,OOO,OOO WORTH OF SECURITY

We are accustomed to astronomic figures these days. We
think of a billion dollars as we used to think of a million, and a
mere hundred thousand seems insignificant.
Even so, recently published figures concerning the life in
surance industry should cause the reader to think twice about
the service the industry is rendering the nation.
During the year 1885, life insurance payments totaled
$780, 0O, O00-of which 81, 100000, 900 went to living policy
holders, and only 5000, 100000 to beneficiaries. No one knows
how much of that great sum was received by persons in strait
ened circumstances, to whom it meant the difference between
comfort and privation, but it is certain that a substantial
part of it served that purpose. For the six-year period begin
ming in 1880, life insurance paid out over 16 billion dollars
dollars which kept homes from foreclosure, businesses from fail
ure, and individuals from dire want.
Quietly and efficiently, the life Insurance industry has done
q magnificent piece of work in bringing social security to mill
ions of foresighted, thrifty citizens.

ARE IVA RATES TOO HIGH?

A great deal has been heard of the low electric rates estab-
lished by the IVA in certain southern communities 1t has been
that if the IVA program could be spread to other parts
of the nation, it would create an electric paradise, wherein we
could use all the current we want, and pay next to nothing for
ii.
Maybe so But, in a recent March of Time news-reel, which
delineated IVA acts and objectives, Wendell L. Willkie, Pres
ident of the Commonwealth and Southern Corporation, which
has given a large part of the south improved electric service at
declining rates for many years, was called upon for his
opinion. Mr.. Willkie who is generally regarded as one of the
most progressive of utility leaders, and who is certainly not a
man given to wild and improbable statements, said: "TVA can
sell power more cheaply only by charging the deficits to the
federal taxpayer, which means everybody in the U. S. and by
bookkeeping methods which so amazed the Comptroller General
of the u. S. that he issued one of the most caustic reports of
recent governmental history
He then added the most startling statement of all-that
if the government would give his company the same subsidies
now received by IVA, it would promise to undercut the much
~publicized IVA rate structure by at least 25 percentl
Similar challenges have been made in the past-and it is
volved in this great sociaistic experiment has clearly, fact
uany and UNDERSTANDABLE refuted the criticism. That is some
thing for citizens of the whole nation to think about. The gov
eminent is undertaking many vast hydroelectric developments,
and still others are proposed. Continuance and extension of
the IVA plan viii mean that the taxpayers must put up bill
lions to erect unnecessary and subsidized federal electric plants
to unfairly compete with private enterprises whose rates, it is
claimed, could be materially reduced if they were given equal
advantages.
