mental objection to private monopoly,
from the economic standpoint, is that
it fails to realize maximum economic
output. One reason for this is that
nationwide monopolies. such as
trusts. are likely to be less efficient
than concerns in active competition
with one another. Under monopoly
there is not the stimulus to effort
and to the adoption of improved
methods and processes that there is
under competition.
Another reason why monopoly Is
inferior to competition from the
standpoint of wealth creation is that
the principal source of monopoly
profits is the curtailment of the sup
ply. The essence of monopoly is con-
troll over supply and thus over price;
and by curtailing the supply the mo-
nopoly is able to charge a higher
price than woulo. prevail under COM
petitiye conditions How much high

higher than a competitive price. The

part reward for reducing the output
of goods. and thus the usefulness Of
the industry to the community.
The high price policy of monopolies
has unfortunate consequences. It re-
duces the demand for goods. whether
the goods produced by the trust. or
the materials, supplies. and equip
ment required by the trust in the
manufacture of its own products. The
reduced demand for goods means a
reduction in the demand for the la
Dor, capital. and land required to
make the goods. and thus leads to un-
employment. whether Of labor. capi-
tai. or land.
The greatest hope of improving the
condition of the masses lies in an
abundant supply of goods sold at low
prices, but this is not the way of mo-
nopoly. Bolstered up by its control of
supply it follows system of high, in
flexible prices that contribute greatly
to the severity of depressions by cur
failing purchasing power and by re-
tarding the attainment of an economic
balance in price relationships.
Another objection to monopoly Is
the difficulty. almost impossibility. of
regulating monopolies effectively. We
have learned through experimental
ton how difficult it is to regulate the
public utilities. And If we have ex-
perienced such difficulty in regulating
few industries. what would be the
prospect of success were it necessary
to extend the program to all indus
tries?
In effect. the government would
have to determine the quantity and
quality of the various articles to be
produced. and it might even be
obliged to fix wages. AS conditions in
industry are continually changing,
the regulation would be continuing
process. requiring a vast horde Of
government employees and great
many regulatory bodies. The more
persons occupied with the task of
regulation. the fewer persons there
would be to produce commodities.
and the less, obviously, would be the
national wealth!

INSIDIoUS DRIVE TO socIALIzE THE
UNITED STATES

The reason given for the Federal gov
ernment's policy of substituting municipal
electric plants by donating As per cent of
the cost free, gratis and for nothing to
towns and cities, is to give the people
cheaper power Service However, accord
ing to 10 c. Guild, president of the Ten
nessee Electric Power Company, the gov
eminent could do more to further the
cause of better service if it would make its
gifts to the private utilities!
The government, through PWA, Of
fers to give" Chattanooga, Tennessee,
100000, or 45 per cent of what is neces-
sary to make start on building tax
exempt, municipal system, using IVA
power, to compete with the Tennessee
Electric Power Company which has served
the city SO years. In other words, it gives
the tax money of all the people of the
United States to a chosen few In an adj
vertisement, Mr.. Guild says:
Now, here's a proposition that we
believe is fair and in the best interest of
the public. If the Federal government in
esists onaniaking gifts of the taxpayers
money! why not make it to us? We are
Taxpayers lone of the largest in the city
and county-and we will pay return on
the taxpayers money Here's our PROPOSE
ton: If the Federal government will
make a gift to us of 45 per cent of the
value of our property, and stop hamstring-
ing us, we will make rates 10 per cent
lower than IVA rates. And on top of this,
we will continue to pay taxes to city,
county, state and Federal taxing bodies
license taxes, privilege taxes, gasoline and
automobile taxes, all forms of taxes-in
the sum of more than $2.5OO,0OO a year
more than per cent on the money
given us. If the people are really inter-
ested in cheap power, here's one sure way
to get it. And it's fair to Affair to the
government, fair to the public, fair to the
people who have invested their money in
this business. And fair to our employees"
OF course, there is no chance of gov
eminent adopting policy such as this
the real reason behind campaigns to put
the government in the power business is to
broaden the field for political patronage
and to increase the authority of politics
over the lives and opportunities of us ALL
However, Mr.. Guilds remarkable PROPOSE
ton should result in some hard thinking by
all citizens, who are paying the tax bill
for government subsidization of municipal
utilities and government-operated hydro
systems such as the IVA. SocializatioH of
a $4,000, 000,0 600 industry which has given
the American people the cheapest and
most extensive electric service in the
world, is the real aim of the power poll
ticians--not better service and lower rates.
The program is SO unfair to the savings of
private investors and so unAmerican in its
attack on private property rights, that it is
hard for the people to realize that an at.
