for his heating and cooking and s1.89
for light. Both computations have
allowed him his 10 per cent discount
for cash, and they are net figures.
A small percentage of the consumers
who have ranges will pay more under
the one-meter rate than under the
present one for the simple reason that
they do not use enough current, par
ticularly with their lights, to put them
into the favorable brackets of the
one-meter rate.
The one-meter rate could not be
compiled in such a manner as to give
this consumer a decrease without los
ing a great amount of revenue for the
city.
For example, taking another case
from the light departments records, a
consumer uses 112 kilowatts on his
range and 10 with his lights. His bill
under the present schedule was 1851
and under the one-meter rate it would
be $436. Bear in mind that there are
only small number of such custo-
mers.
Now by inspecting the one-meter
schedule, you win see that 40 kilo-
watts of current must be used in the
residential division to get into the
favorable 225-cent bracket.
The customer who used 1853, as illus
trated above, had 48 kilowatts in the
cheapest bracket and the next had
but of his 10 in that bracket.
Under the present schedule they
both paid cents for their 35 and 10
kilowatts of light current, while they
paid cents for the first 100 klowatts
of cooking and heating current and
2.5 cents for all over The most favor
able rate here is greater than that OF
the one-meter bracket of 2-25 cents
The combinations of heating and
cooking current and light current con-
sumption vary greatly, and each person
will have to work out for himself where
he will stand under the one-metel
schedule A number Of examples where
the consumer cost under the present
and new schedules are practically the
same follows:
!. Range consumption. 80 hlowattS
lights, 40 kilowatts; total, 100. Cos
under both schedules is exactly tn,
same, $3.50, after the 10 per cent dis
count is deducted
2. Range, 100 kilowatts; lights, 8
hlowatts; total, 135. Cost under pres
ent schedule, $50; one-meter SEIZED
ule, $5.14.
8. Range, los kilowattS; light. 8
kilowattS; total, 140 Cost under pres
ent schedule, $522; one-meter schedule
s525.
4. Range, ITS kilowatts; lights, 8
klowatts; total, 207. Cost under pres
ent schedule, S679; one-meter $6.76.

Toimi Ahola asked.
Write the fire marshal to do his
duty" Moscatelli replied
Mrs. William Kelley, acting as
spokesman for the citizens, indirectly
accused the council, the local fire war
den, the tank owners, and the state
fire marshal of all passing the buck in
seeing protective measures were taken
Mrs. Kelley said that residents did
not expect the tanks to be moved
outside the city limits because of the
expense involved.
An ordinance is being drawn which
will prohibit erection of bulk tanks
within the city in the future.

Mrs. Arnie Kangas, Mrs. Tyne Kalvert,

THE ROBERTS REPORT.

The Roberts commission which in
vestigated the Pearl Harbor disaster
did a magnificent job of setting forth
the facts which led to that sad event
and placing the blame fairly.
The report placed primary blame
on General Short and Admiral Kimmel,
where it seems to me to belong. In
any emergency as grave as that even
prior to Dec Z, the nation must ex-
pect it's commanders in the field to
assume heavy responsibilities and not
wait for orders from Washington to
do things which should be done.
So far as the demand for court
martial and punishment of these OIL
GERS goes, it strikes me that knowledge
of what their lack of foresight cost the
nation is the greatest punishment any
officer in the service could be given,
and a court martial at this time, while
it might develop some additional facts,
certainly would pull away from active
duty, where they are needed, many
officers of both services.
The high commands in Washington
are blamed by the report because, with
full knowledge of the danger, they did
not check and doublecheck precau-
tons taken in the field.
Far more important than any per-
sonal blame, however, was the reports
emphasis on the bitter results of lack
of a single, unified command at
Hawaii Already that basic fault has
been corrected by the President in the
Far East, Hawaii, Canal Zone and
Caribbean.
Incidentally, the facts disclosed put
the final quietus on demands for estab-
nshment of a separate air force at
this time. The report revealed clearly
that what is needed desperately is not
more separation of the various military
arms, but more complete coordination
under unified command.
in Minnesota, but in Washington it is
almost impossible to obtain sugar these
days. While the nation is short OF
sugar to meet all demands, the shortage
is by no means great enough to justify
this situation. 1t is due purely and
simply to boarding by comparatively
few individuals. One hears story after
story of persons who have stocked many
time their normal requirements of
sugar in the past few weeks, and nat
urally, grocers have used up their
supplies.
Actually these hoarders, by Great
ing an artificial shortage or making
an existing shortage more critical,
are being about as unpatriotic as
private citizen can be. They are,
consciously or otherwise, creating diff
ficulties in our war program, first
by forcing the government to divert
manpower and energy into a ration
ing program which might otherwise
be unnecessary, and second, by seek
ing to create a more favorable Situa-
ton for themselves where in they will
not have to make sacrifices which
then will be the greater for the rest
of the people.
Government officials who have con-
tributed to buying rushes by announcing
that shortages of this or that were
have not helped any, They
ought to keep their mouths shut until
they are ready to do something about
it.
