$4,000 BY REA
FOR OHIO PLANT

Franklin P. Wood, of the REA en-
gineering staff, left Washington today
to make final survey Of engineering
details of rural cooperative generating
plants projected in Michigan, Mime
sofa, North Dakota and Ohio, for
which REA has set aside construction
funds or has received loan applications.
Two of these proposed power
plants would be located in Michigan,
near Visterberg and on Beaver Island,
one in the Twin City area Of Mime
sofa, and at least one and possibly
two elsewhere in Minnesota. Another
would be in North Dakota, probably
near Grace, and still another in Ohio,
to serve several REA-financed dis
tribution projects in that State which
have been unable to purchase cleo
tricity at wholesale at price which
would allow the projects to pay out.
Most REA-fnanced rural electric
distribution system throughout the
United States have been able to buy
power at wholesale at an average cost
of less than "A cents a kilowatt. But
the projects to be served by these pro-
jected generating plants were not sue
cessful in efforts to buy power at re-
asonable rates.
Mr.. Wood, who is assistant to the
coordinator of the Engineering Di-
vision, expects to visit Michigan first
where he will study the best location
and type of construction for a gener-
ating plant using natural gas as fuel
in the northern part of lnghan
County. Another plant, on Beaver
Island in Charlevoix County, is also
under consideration. No power is
available on the island.
While in Michigan Mr.. Wood will
also inspect two REA- financed gener.
ating plants about to go into operation
shortly, at Adrian and at Iceland, ano
two already producing power fol
farmers, at Ubly and Eaton Rapids. lr
Wisconsin he will visit an REA
financed electric generating plant
functioning successfully at Chippews
Falls. A hydro-electric plant has beer
suggested to provide additional ca
pacity for Wisconsin power distribu
ton cooperatives.
In Ohio, Mr.. Wood will make a fina
survey for a plant for which $500,
600 has been set aside by REA.

the whole the proportion Of womer

Appointive Judge
Petition Results
Deficiency Expected When
Final Signature Certifi-
Gates Announced
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, O.-Proponents of the
amendment to the Ohio constitution
providing for appointment instead OF
election of the judiciary were scurry-
ing about the state last week attempt
ing to garner additional signatures to
their petitions in an endeavor to make
up large deficiency expected when
final signature certifcations are an
nounced by the Secretary of State.
Unofficial reports from Cuyahoga
Franklin and Hamilton Counties whose
Boards of Elections have not yet certi-
fled signatures on petitions filed with
them to the Secretary of State, indi-
cate that there will be a total deficien-
cy of nearly $4,000 signatures.
Secretary of State Kennedy's office
reported last week that final certifica-
tions were expected from the three
counties by Wednesday Of this week
and, if there was deficiency, the pro-
ponents would have ten days in which
to file additional signatures.
The Mahoning County Board OF
Elections certified 9,173 signatures to
the Secretary of State last week, dis
qualifying 8,413 of the 1856 sig
natures filed with them, or more thar
Al per cent of the total in that county
This loss reduces the surplus sig,
natures remaining to the credit OF the
proponents of the amendment to ap.
proximately 10000, which will un'
doubtedly be wiped out by large mar,
gin when Cuyahoga, Hamilton anc
Franklin counties report.
Those three counties accounted fol
total of 173,430 signatures in the
original number filed, and with losse:
ranging at high averages in counties
which have reported, an additional los!
of at least 10000 signatures can bt
expected in the Cuyahoga, Hamilton
and Franklin counties report.
Should the proponents be successful
in their efforts to make up the impend
ing deficit with additional signatures
the validity of which must also bt
checked, the Secretary of State is re
quired by law to issue pamphlets to tn
electorate explaining the proposed
amendment in detail 40 days before tn
November 8 election, another fea
which appears an impossibility.

THE HEART OF THE RAILROAD
PROBLEM

The Rutland, Vermont, Herald goes
straight to the heart of the railroad
problem when it says: "If the govern
ment would simplify it's contacts with
the railroads, relax the rigors and
construction of regulation, equalize or
reduce taxation, permit reasonable
rates for frst-class service, and, sc
far as possible, bring all transporta-
tion under the same rules and stand
ards, it would have done all that any
public agency could do toward amend.
ing very difficult situation"
The railroads ask no favors, nc
special privileges. They simply ask
that they be treated exactly as are
other agencies of transportation-ant
that they be permitted to operate OF
a sound business basis.
SO far this year railroad income ha!
been about eighty per cent under 1887
The rate of return, figured on an an
nual basis, has been approximate!
one-half of one per cent Of the indus
try's gigantic investment. In othel
words, the railroads as a whole arr
earning next to nothing. Some line
are not even making enough to pa!
their taxes, much less their bond in
terest. And a great many are ex
periencing serious operating losse
which, unless checked, must soon re
suit in additional receiverships.
There is the usual camouflage tall
about scalding down the industry
capital structure, consolidating lines
and similar palliatives. But facts shov
the fallacy Of such proposals in tn
present crisis. First and foremost
the industry must be given an ade
quate rate structure. Second, it mus
be permitted to further reduce oper
ating costs where possible. Third,
must be given equality of legislativ
treatment with it's competitors Ther
and only then, can real start be mad
toward solving the problem--and to
ward saving an industry which is re
sponsible, directly or indirectly, fo
millions of jobs, for billions in purchas
ing power, for hundreds Of millions G
taxes, and for the existence of score
of other industries which supply
with services and materials.

LEFT AT THE POST

When it comes to achieving "self-
earned social security" the American
people leave the rest of the world at
the post.
The figures show, for example, that
there is about three times as much life
insurance in force in this country as in
the United Kingdom; about thirty
times as much as in japan, and about
sixty times as much as IN Sweden.
These figures are important, not
only because they show what Our
citizens have done to guard against
the exigencies of the future, but be-
cause of the influence of life insurance
on the nation as whole. Life in.
surance is great stabilizing force
and force that makes for progress
and prosperity in the long run.
