Officials sWhoUse
Private Planes
Must Pay Cost

The wings of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority were clipped by Acting
Controller General Elliott in de-
cision made public yesterday.
Raising brand-new question in
the always troublesome field of ex-
pense allowances, the Authority
asked Mr.. Elliott how much its en-
ployes could have when using their
own planes for Government business,
adding that this procedure was help
full and suggesting that reimburse
ment be on a mileage basis.
But it was no bet.
Explaining that the mileage stat
.utes cover only private automobiles
and motor cycles, Mr.. Elliott said
that when an officer or employe is
authorized to travel by his privately
owned airplane, he may be reim-
bursed only on an actual expenses
basis, not to exceed the cost by
available common carrier"
Inasmuch. as such an allowance
would be just about SO per cent of
operating cost, it was thought I'M
likely that there would be much pri-
vats flying.

Editor, the Times: Those op-
posed to the operation of Ia
coma's light and power utilities
by the public. give many reasons
why this should not be done,
reasons which they attempt to
prove are facts that show that
private ownership is best and IN
the long run the cheapest. One
of these is Rural Electrified
ton"
During the past four years we
have heard much about Rural
Electrification. Since the cry
for service in rural districts was
taken up by the public, the priv
ate utilities have released tons
of propaganda on this matter,
the gist of which is that. lust
wait till your public utilities
start serving the rural districts
and you viii see power rates
climb" the assumption being
that public utilities serve only
the people within city limits and
thickly populated areas.
To an extent this contention
of the private utilities is true.
for private utilities have spent
millions to prevent public utili-
ties from serving these districts.
Every legal aid has been called
into play, for by the legal
method" private utilities have
fought TO keep this rich field
exclusively for themselves.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-02-13

Contrary to the assertion that
public plants serve only thickly
populated areas, however, are
examples that established this
service well ahead of recent fed
orally created rural electrifica-
ton districts.
Webster City, Iowa, feeds IT'S
miles of farm lines. and Itch
field. Mimi, 20 miles of rural
lines. The Tacoma municipal
plant transmission lines are tap
ped by II mutual companies
serving over $50 miles of rural
lines and these tie-ups are grow
ing by leaps and bounds. Rural
customers receive for S1.05, cleo
trio energy that would cost $50
to Sc from private utility con-
Germs.
Tacoma light and the mutual
companies that feed from Ia
coma light transmission lines,
find this rural business highly
profitable and the customers
fight to ENJOY the service at the
reasonable rates charged when
the power is piped direct to their
door. The Fife district and the
Lakes district south of Tacoma
are two of the most recent Pierce
county areas to secure for them
selves publicly owned Tacoma
Light and Power. This, then, is
the answer to the oft repeated
misstatement, that Tacoma light
is successful only because it en-
joys monopoly on service in a
rich, thickly populated area. And
if you still believe that rural
customers don't want Tacoma
light service =. just talk to the
man who has fought for it. Yes,
we rural people are strong for
Ira S. Davisson, Tacoma light,
and Tacoma light policies which
have given to us the blessing of
light and power at low rates.

Whot Washington Sold
About Europe in 1876

TURMOIL in Europe and
l. American fear of that tur-
mol caught the nations headlines
$50 years ago almost as il does
today. George Washington, for
example, in 1875 boldly pointed
out the danger that European
troubles might involve America.
Abiding to the French Revolu-
ton and the state of European
chaos which was TO continue for
decades. he said:
with respect 10 the nations Of
Europe. their situation appears so
awful that nothing short Of Om-
niscence can predict the issue, al
though every human mind must
feel the miseries the continent en-
dures. II should be the policy Of
the United States to administer to
the wants Of other nations with
out being engaged in their quar-
rels."
Europe. Washington felt, has
set OF primary interests which to
us have none or very remote re-
lation." He was convinced that
Europe would invariably be in
volved in some form Of quarrel.
So he warned in his famous fare
well address:
The great rule Of conduct for US
in regard to foreign nations is In
extending our commercial rela-
tons TO have with them as little
political connections as possible.
So far as We have already formed
engagements let them be fulfilled
with perfect good faith. Here let
US stop"

NEW YORK - After twenty
years. Roseland is still going
strong. Il was 1919 when blase
Broadway first heard of Rose
land where girls would dance
with gentlemen at ten cents
dance. The Bunny Hug was
all the rage, then.
Today. those Roselsnd girls
claim the depression and the lit-
terbug craze has cut into their
business terribly. According 10
Florence Forder, head hostess at
Roseland. there was time when
the girls used TO receive as much
as 500 tips.
Then. too. many Of them used
to meet millionaires at Roselsnd
and some were lucky enough to
marry them. like Claire Patton
whose marriage to Archibald
Graustein. rich head of the In
ternational Paper psny
made all the front pages in 1924.
Miss Forder, who was former
ly a musical comedy singer, says
that most of the ballroom
hostesses are from the mining
districts of Pennsylvania, al
though there are a great many
college girls in the hostess line.
She says the girls. making seven
cents out of every 10 cents a
dance" used to earn between
Ss5 and Sis a week. Nowadays
they are lucky if they make $50.
But that isn't stenographer's
pay, either.
Ironically enough, when Rose
land first opened. someone
dubbed them as "10-cents-a-
dance" hostesses. But actually
it cost over 10 cents to trip the
light fantastic with them, in
those days. You had to buy
three dances at a time. which
really cost IS cents. Now, il
really is 10 cents a dance.

mont is removed from the traf-

in comparative peace, feeling
that their children will come
home after school instead of
being sent to morgue as re-
suit of some drunk on the high
way. These parents do not be-
lieve that little six and seven
year-old children can hold their
own on the crowded busses
jammed with students from Lin
coin and the junior high.
At this meeting the earthly
smell from the friendly woods,
from damp ferns and moss was
waited in at the open window
and a peace and understanding
that e d d no explanation

1t was decided that the school
will continue as is for the re-
