Dear Captain:
am enclosing my subscription to
your. valuable paper. Through it's
columns | have been able to keep in
touch with the struggles of state
where the real capitol is atop a de-
partment store whose foundations are
being fast removed by mans eternal
search for treasure
After spending years trying to es-
cape by saving the bars of your po-
litfcal and economic prison, came
to the conclusion that if Montana was
ever saved from itself, it's salvation
would have to come from the outside
Nothing has happened in the last IA
years which would cause me to change
my apprisal
However, | am not the least bit
pessimistic about the world outlook.
Social systems die in commissions. The
CONFUSION of the last world war pro-
duced a revolution in Russia This
war will most certainly produce a So
cial revolution in central and lower
Europe. If the progressive forces in
Britain and America fail (and there
is very much likelihood of it, our
social revolution will be just around
the corner.
l wish that nature had provided a
peaceful and happy transition for the
changes demanded by nature and evo-
luton but it does not seem to be one
of natures ways of doing things. One
might just as well rave against age,
sickness and death as to complain
against the ways of the gods in work
ing out their scheme of things
The fight that is being waged
against Wallace by the forces of re-
action is the best evidence that the
agents of American fascism are not
going to give UP without a battle.
Their vast economic power, plus the
stupidity and cursed bourgoise mind
edness Of the American working class,
make the hope of happy landing less
alluring
Just tell my old friend Sam Ford
for me, that l would rather be a

Dear Friend,
Thank you so much for The Peo-
pies Voice and the great effort you
put forth to give us the news as we
need to know it, you may be sure I'll
do all I can to get others interested
in it. Was very glad to see the arti-
Gle in the last issue about the Rail-
road Real Estate Deal, as l had read
a little on that before; another thing
seems to me needs to be brought be-
fore our people is the Universal Mill
tary Training Bill" now being worked
on in our national congress, surely
such a bill will tend to make us more
war minded rather than striving to
build an agreeable and just world
peace.
Thanking you again for your good
work and best wishes for the New

For Rate Cut
By HAROLD B. ROGERS.

Rejecting creation of a reserve
fund to meet estimated rate reduc-
tions ordered by the Public Utilities
Commission and now being fought in
the courts, the Potomac Electric
Power Co. yesterday reported to the
PUG a decline in net income from
$1,400,931 in April, 1914, to 81 ,381 ,713
in April, 1945.
In its report to the PUG the COM
pany said the figures on operating
revenues and operating revenue de-
ductions reflect a debit, adjust
ment in the month of April, l945,
OF $85,000. and four months ended
April 80. 1945, of $340, 900, represent

aside as contingent reservoir re-
payment to consumers in the event

lie Utilities Commission of the Dis
trlct of Columbia. This adjustment
has corresponding effect upon op-
Grating revenues and provision for
income taxes"
Operating revenues were shown
to have declined from April, 1914,
by s86,856 to bring April, ls45, fig
ures down to $l,794, ,544, while oper-
atlng revenue deductions declined
from 81 l,400,931 in April, 1914, to
1881, ,713 in April this year.
For the fourth-month period,
however, operating revenues, includ-
ing the adjustment" were shown
to have increased from S7.S34,244
in 1914 to S7,837 ,504 in 1945, and
operating revenue deductions in
creased from $5,777,279 to $6,O30, ,739
