LOS ANGELES, AUG. %. UP)-
ANY reduction in utility rates to
avoid payment of excess profit
taxes would defeat efforts to con-
troll initiation and effect economic
stabili2atiGn. an attorney for the
Southern California Edison COM
pany told the state railroad COM
mission.
Gail c. Larkin, counsel for the
light company. testified before the
commission during its consideration
OF a proposed order disallowing in
clusion Of excess profits taxes as
part Of operating costs of 1870 state
utilities.
"A reduction in rates would
benefit only The consumer" Larkin
stated. "Whereas, the company al
ways has held that any temporary
advantage to the corporation should
be used to benefit the employees
through bonuses and stockholders
through increased dividends"
Iarkin also argued that the sta
bilization program was based on the
idea that utility rates and wages
should remain unchanged and that
the excess profits tax Was used to
collect any surplus that might be
earned by the corporations because
