 KEEPS CONTROL
Four State COmpact C { Agreed On to Combat
 Conn. River Floods

Hartford, Conn, July 22.-(UP)- The federal government will not be deprived of any of its rights in thu development of water power under a four-tate compact for control of Connecticut river floods, Conneeti- cuts signatories to the plan today informed the states U. s. senators and representatives.
 "Some members of congress-" a letter said, "may be fearful that if the compact is approved 1t will in- terfere with the federal govern ment's present control of power or water conservation for power pur.- poses" "The compact states in the most clear and concise language that the federal government has the final determination or say as to tho use by any of the states of the sites for water conservation, power stor- age or power development"
 Four States agreed
 The interstate flood control com pact was agreed upon by Massachu- setts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecticut. Federal approval is required because U. s. grant is in- volved.'
 The letter was signed by Attor- ney General Edward J. Daly, San- ford H. Wadhams, chairman of the state water commission, and James H. Newlands, Hartford engineer.
 "The compact" they said, "so far as 1t represents an interstate agree ment, concerns itself only with flood control. The signatory states re- serve power conservation rights, but have agreed to take up such ques- tions with the United States thruogh agencies other than the compact commission"

TAXES EQUAL DIVIDENDS

The annual report of a Western cleo
trio utility company wildly illustrates the
increasing gravity of the tax and legis-
lative problems faced by the electric in
dustry.
In 1886, the company's taxes totaled
s7,153,5O9-a increase of 90 per cent
over 1885. The preferred and common
dividends paid by the company were very
little larger than taxes paid-$7 ,277. 1898.
In other words, government received al
most as much of the company's earnings
as did its owners, and government had no
investment and took no risk.
Expressing the companys tax bur-
dens another way in 1920 its taxes
amounted to $4.38 for each active meter
in service. In 1886 they amounted to
s6.25. And in 1886 they touched the
record figure of $40.
Taxes will be still higher Existing
taxes will not go down, and new taxes
such as the Social Security Tax-go into
effect.
1t would not be SO serious if govern
ment, as it increased the tax burden borne
by public service companies, at the same
time encouraged them to expand, under
fair regulation, and increase their business
and revenues. But it is a curious paradox
that even as government boosts taxes on
utilities, it is building subsidized, taxFfree
competitive plants of its aown--1aneg cen
couraging, through gifts and loans, the
construction of subsidized, tax-free NUM-
cipal plants
In other words, it is deliberately kill
ing the goose that lays its golden tax eggs
and transferring the tax load to the re-
naming geese (the public.
No private business could remain sol
vent and adopt deliberate policy of de-
stroying its best paying customers
1t is high time the people awaken to
this mtolerable situation and realize the
great stake they have in this vital prob
lena cash stake amounting to nearly Is
per cent of the entire gross income of pri-
vate electric companies, which the people
collect in taxes and which would have to
be paid by the people in additional taxes
on themselves, if private utility earnings
! were destroyed
