CONGRESSIONAL RECORD

read the remarks of the Hon.
Andrew Edminson, of West Virgin
la, in the House of REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, Sept. "a 1912
I feel that the procedure outlined
with reference to compensate cases
of disabled veterans should enable
the U. s. Veterans Administration
to aid them in their rehabilitation
and eliminate the trou blesome situa-
ton that has existed heretofore.
That there has been some Unjust
ice, owing to disqualification is self
evident. because these patient souls
have been employed in gainful oc-
equations. Many, many times had
they not been Handicapped by in
reference in the discharge of their
lawful duties.

Butch is on a
BALANCED DIET!

lHIs situation isn't covered by
Army regulations. But we're
betting that Butch will find a
way to handle it!
In fact, we electric companies
know just how he feels. We have
the same problem. Right now,
we're being called on to balance
good service and low, regulated
rates against fast-climbing costs
and tremendously increased
demands for electric power.
We're doing it, too. Filling
all our war orders. Giving
America far more power than
all the Axis countries combined.
Pushing production up and up.
:. And besides that, we're bal
ancing a big plate Of taxes.
Don't get US wrong. We know
the need Of wartime taxes. We're
proud that business-managed
electric companies paid $780,
100000 in taxes last year. That
was 23c out Of every dollar you
paid us = SC to local and state
governments = l5c to the fed
eral government = enough to
outfit 1857, 762 buck privates.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1943-03-26

How is it possible to make so
much power and meet SO many
taxes at the same time? Because
of sound business methods and
long experience = because men,
women and management worked
together as a team.
But while we're doing all this,
government and municipal
power systems are not paying
