"CLOSE CO-OPERATION"
[ Richmond Independent)

(klchmond independently
In these days. when most people seem
to be looking to Washington to solve their
problems, refreshing note comes in the
news from Danville H.. city Of $4,000
population, where a dozen of the lead
ing business men got together and de-
cided that the best place to start the
recovery program was at home.
The Danville business men have five
year program. They are going after new
industries to put the unemployed to work.
They expect to locate at least five in
dustries a year. Some may be small,
some large. To attract them they are
building the factories, and locating the
manufacturers on pay-as-you-go basis.
And they expect the industries to pay.
They are practical business men and not
theorists. The first industry has already
been found. Three others are said to be
good prospects, all in a period Of three
months.
The Danville plan is to be operated
on the principle Of close cooperation,
such as would be possible only in a small
city. The new industries must submit
monthly operating statement to the
banks or others stalking" the new fac
tories. IN this manner, the new industry
will be afforded constant supervision
and financial advise of other business
men and financiers. Danyille expects to
plan to return dividends. And what most
Of us need now is dividends, in the form
of more work and at least little profit.

JAPAN CLOSES
THE OPEN DOOR

(OrOVille Mercury Herald
AS everyone knew would be the case.
Japans occupation of Chinese seaports
is driving American business out of that
lucrative field. The "open door" to China
has been closed
Secretary of State Hull makes this
known officially by announcing that Jap
an is violating American rights in China
by refusing to evacuate American proper
ties and allow our citizens to return to
them.
Many will say at once What of it? We
should worry if American millionaireS
are driven out of China. They should
stay home. We can't worry about that
Wiser ones will shake their heads and
realize that when American capital is
driven out of China it is Just one step
down for us i'm the standard of living.
When we lose foreign trade Americans
are thrown out of work. In this case,
japanese are given the work that Ameri
cans used to do.
When we lose foreign trade the goods
we used To sell there are dumped ON our
own markets. there to lie during pro-
longed period of depression until our
people are able to buy them again.
SO it really is serious 10 each and every
one of us. when Japan closes the door to
China. Much as some of lis hate the
wealthy ones we must realize that when
they lose we all lose.
Meanwhile we continue to sell scrap
iron to Japan, which melts it up into
bombs to kill Chinese civilians and sol
diers and weld more firmly its grip
upon China's trade. 1t would seem to
be about time to retaliate and show
Japan that in a closely knit world it
doesn't pay to break the rules of interna-
tiOnal trade

TWENTY CENTS WORTH
OF ECONOMY

There are scores of reasons why the
city should not consider the proposed
contract, and there is one fact worth
especial consideration in the light of
the so-called saving that would accrue to
the city. The power company estimates
that the annual saving would amount to
$1,000. That sum is comfortable one
to have in the bank-for an individual.
But, putting it on an individual basis,
We find that the actual saving to the
average man in Ell Centre would be
about 20 cents for the year.
We cannot afford to put stumbling
block in the path Of our own power sys-
TEN for the sake Of two dimes for each
Of u.s.
The fact gains added significance when
we consider that the people of Ell Centre,
representing one-siXth of the popula-
tion of Imperial Valley, own one-siXth
of the municipal power system Thus
the five men on the Ell Centre council
represent, by their votes, One-siXth of
the municipal systems owners.
Columns could be filled with other
reasons against accepting the power
companys contract, but it seems to US
this one suffices.
If the people of FL Centro bought
their power for municipal uses from the
private company, they would be in the
position of man who owns a power
plant, sells power TO others, and yet
buys his own power from d competitor
Imperial Valley press., 1938-06-10
THE POWER COMPANY'S
POKER GAME

Not since REA and PWA contracts
were Overwhelmingly approved by I'M
perial Valley voters has there been
more critical phase of public power de-
velopment here than faces the people Of
FL Centre this week If the power COM
pany could obtain approval by the city
council of three-year contract offered
last Wednesday night, it would have
scored a major victory in its fight To
keep municipal power out of Imperial
Valley.
Failing to swing public sentiment
away from the municipal power system,
the power company is inviting the people
to sit in on a huge poker game. The peo-
pie are promised they will win the initial
stake-the $500 saving promised the
city if it approves the three-year con-
tract. Nothing could better demonstrate
that the people cannot afford to match
chips with the power company in any
such game
The power company can afford to
spend large sums to protect its big prof
its in Imperial Valley. The people can
not match those sums.
The joker in the proposed contract
may be found in the clause that II shall
be void if competing agency-the public
system-at any time during the three
years offers the city power rate which
the private company will not meet. 1t
is utterly apparent that no such rate
could be offered once the contract was
signed, because the railroad commits
sion allows the company to meet the
rates of any competitor City power bus
mess, for two reasons, is so important
to the power company that it would sell
the city power far below cost to keep
the contract.
These two reasons are: l. That the
business is that of a public agency, and
so would be a severe loss to another pub
lie agency, besides giving power COM
pany statesmen potent argument for
use with private customers. 2. That the
power company by binding the city to
a three-year contract, would deprive the
municipal system of heavy load in Ell
Centre, thus rendering the public sys-
TEN less sure of profit and more vul-
nerable to attack.

Happy Obscmity
Going With Care

WASHINGTON. - The National
BituminouS Coal Commission, en-
joying a period of happy obscurity
after messing up its job about as
badly as it could, is now proceeding
with great care and good resolutions
i'll the hope of redeeming itself.
The commissions job is to set
minimum coal prices. 1t did set
schedule last year. but the courts
began to decide the job had been
sloppily done and the prices had to
be cancelled.
Now the commission hopes to
have a new schedule of prices ready
by September. That's a hope rather
than a promise. But the new coal
prices may be ready by mid-Octo-
ber. about the time the bituminouS
buying season begins. Last year
the board missed the boat, decreeing
no prices until December.
A clean. careful job is the COM
missions aim. partly because OF the
Supreme Court decision in the Kan
Sas City stockyards case calling for
fair procedure by government regu-
latory or rate-making agencies,
supported by the persistent demand
of Consumers Counsel John Carson
of the NBCC for public hearings
and findings of fact before action.
Carson didn't need Supreme Court
help. however, as what he demand
ed was provided for in the bitumi-
10
its unregenerate days. just figured
it needn't heed the law.
one of the things the IVA in
yestigating committee may find out
is that there isn't any rate yard
stick in IVA, as is often supposed.
The yardstick appears in mu-
nicipal power plants after IVA sells
electricity to the municipality at
the same rate it charges private
power companies.
Although IVA produces electricity
under conditions different from
those OF private companies, it sells
the Juice at from 6 to 7 mills Il
kilcWatt hour. Private power COM
panies often sell to municipalities
at such a rate.
But the yardstick has entered the
picture when IVA persuaded mu-
inequalities receiving iva power to
cut rates to consumers in order 10
increase sales and make more
money.
The case of Erie Railroad vs..
Tompkins has taken its place among
the Supreme Courts historic deci-
sions, reversing as it did the &C.
year-old swift VS.. Tyson decision
which permitted federal courts to
ignore state court decisions.
In the Tompkins case the Court
voluntarily renounced much OF its
previously assumed right to make
state law by judicial decision and
made it far more difficult for cor
porations to defeat progressive state
legislation by taking it to federal
courts
But Washington neWspapermen
generally didn't get the significance
of the Tompkins decision at the
time. A little press-agentry by Jus
tice Harlan Fiske Stone was respon-
sible for flood of belated publicity.
Stone was seated at dinner party
next a prominent washington wom-
an who got talking about the Courts
AAA decision.
HUH" said Stone in effect, that
wasn't anywhere near as significant
as that Tompkins case we decided
the other day, to which no one pald
paid any aatention."
Soon afterward the woman phoned
a couple of newspaper friends the
tip. And that's the way big news
sometimes gets around in Wash
ington.
