OLD JUDGE: Simply this !. :. can you
think of any other business in which the
seller is responsible for what the buyer does
with his merchandise? If person eats too
much cake and gets indigestion, the baker
isn't blamed. Nor is the coffee merchant
criticized if someone drinks too much coffee
and can't sleep. But the seller of spirit bev-
erages gets blamed plenty if one of his Gus
toners overindulges Doesn't seem quite
fair, does it, TOMB"

OBJECTION TO WALLACE
BASED ON GREED

Ihe appOntment Of fOlmel VICE Pfesl-
dent Henry A. Wallace as head of the De
partment Of Commerce has caused quite
a furore in Washington Mr.. Wallace
has shown his friendship for the working
people Of the United States. The objec-
ton Of the committee and Senate was not
motivated by any personal feeling but
because the government in the last few
years has acquired immense amounts of
war plants and other interests. 1t APP
pears to the working people that the OBJ
lection to Wallace is based upon desire
of the big corporations and other wealthy
concerns to turn over this property to
them and Wallace's idea seems to be to
use it for the benefit of the people of the
United States Peoples Voice.

A SUGGESTION

Recently the Railroad and Public Sery-
ice Commission, probably very reluctant
ly, ordered the Montana Power Company
to reduce its book valuations by some
$19000000 as of January 1, 1887. just
how the state commission arrived at this
figure is not known, inasmuch as the Fed
eral Power Commission, after exhaustive
investigation of the financial manipula-
tions when the company was formed,
claimed that about SAT 100000 or more Of
water should be Wrung out of its book
valuations The Public Service Commits
sion in many other instances has ap-
pearcd to be afflicted with some astig-
matte afflictions affecting brain and judg-
ment, when the interests Of the people
versus the special interests have become
involved, and apparently the commission
still suffers from it, the interests Of the
company being the most visible
At any rate, the average citizen who
followed the disclosures of financial jug
Cling made at the hearing held in Butte
last year by the Federal Power Commits
sion, must be of the opinion that these as
Economical write-ups of valuations by
means of which the pirates enriched
themselves, took place at the time of the
organization of the company some 30
years ago, and not on January /, 1887
However, assuming not admitting
for the sake of friendly argument, that
there is some mysterious but legitimate
reason for the findings Of the Public Sery-
ice Commission for fixing this particular
date eight years ago now, then it must APP
pear to this same simple-minded average
citizen who is a customer Of the power
company, that he has been paying a lot of
money to the company for services to
which it was not entitled.
This write-up which the Public Service
Commission admits has existed, has been
a part of the company's rate base all of
these years, represents Approximately 70
per cent Of the valuation on which the
rates for services have been based and col
lected, not Just for eight years, but ac-
cording to the accounts Of the company as
brought out in the hearing in Butte, ever
since the company was formed about 30
years ago. Hence, this simple-minded
long-suffering John Citizen might feel
that he has been overcharged on his
monthly bill by about 20 per cent all Of the
time he has been a customer Of the Mon
tana Power Company. However, the cru
dite members of the Public Service Com
mission by its announcement has fixed
the time that he has been oyercharged at
only eight years
This writer claims to be just an average
citizen in his physical requirements as
customer Of the Montana Power Com
pany. For somewhat more than eight
years now, have been paying the COM
pany, [ should say between four and five
dollars month for their services in my
home, and now on the basis Of the Public
Service Commissions announcement |
Montana labor news., 1945-02-01

feel that l have overpaid it over these
eight years about 500, which should be
returned to me by the company.
The company operates under a state
franchise or license which should guaran-
tee protection Of the public against over
charges for services by this public utility,
but apparently it has been permitted to
exact these overcharges for eight years if
not 30 years How is the state govern
ment going to Justify itself? Or does it
take the stand that "the public be
damned"?
Where have these staggering sums in
oyercharges gone? Have they stayed in
Montana to finance progressive develop
ment in the state? Of course they have
not. They have found their way into the
oyerstuffed pockets of financial rack
eteers controlling American Power and
Light and super-holding companies like
the Electric Bond and Share controlling
all or practically all of the common stock
Of the Montana Power Company and 9TH
er operating companies; a plunderbund
without peer.
Neither l nor does any other ordinary
customer of this plundering monopoly eX-
pect to have any overcharges returned to
us, but we would all like to know what the
officials which have been elected by us to
conduct our public affairs, feel should be
done about it. We want to know, if there
is no legal means to bring the plunderers
to book and levy some penalty on them.
have not checked on the reports Of the
Montana Power Company for the past
eight years, but ] do know that 20 per
cent Of the sums collected over that period
of time runs into what is colloquially de-
scribed as folding money!; money that
could be used now in meeting the prob
lens of returning soldiers and war work
ers; money which has disappeared into
the cavernous and Unsuitable maws of the
plunderbund in the East
may say that | have not a ray Of hope
that anything will be done to square this
account. Our Public Service Commission
in this case has certainly not done any
thing to inspire hope in the minds of the
common people that their interests mean
more to it than the political influence of
the monopoly. The governor has been ap-
parently following the lead of the Mon
tana Power Company for the past year or
two in his opposition to development of
the state s resources by a tried and proven
program which would break the monopoly
of the company and free the progress Of
development; and was paid off by the
support Of the company in the recent cleo
tiOn.
This suggestion will probably be la
beled "screwball idea". Call it that if
YOU will But there is an incontrovert-
ible fact and that is that the company has
collected revenue for years from the citi-
zens of the state with rates for service
based ON what has been found to be ficti-
tious-not to say fraudulent And you
will have to show me a better book than
[ know Of, to prove that getting your
moneys worth for what you pay is a
'screWball idea"

ANTI-UNION FIGHT

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2-W.H-
Industrialist Andrew J. Higgins to-
night put his three manufacturing
plants on the auction block and an
nounced he would start crusade
to clean up labor unions.
I'm going to farm out my $40,-

some east or west coast plants, :"
Higgins said in his spacious pan
eled office. "Then I'm going to
crusade. I'm going to crusade to
see that men who want to work can
get it without paying tribute to
anyone.
AS for the physical plants them
selves, Higgins stated that they
would "be, sold to the highest bid

will have to get jobs for them

Business Man Reviews
Advantages Under
Proposed Plan

In direct appeal to the regis
tered voters of Wilmington and en-
virons to support City Limits Ex-
tension at the polls next Tuesday,
Harry M. Solomon, well known
wholesaler, in an address over
WMFD last night pointed out that
the extension project is not politi-
cal or partisan issue, but offers the
people of the city an opportunity
to insure the future growth and
prosperity of the municipality.
Mr.. Solomon's address, in full,
was as follows:
Fellow citizens Of our COM
munity:
One Of the greatest privileges
that we enjoy as citizens of this
fair land is our right of suffrage
At certain times and seasons we
can 60 to the polls and without
hindrance or interference, cast our
vote for or against the issue OF the
day. Surely while justly priding
ourselves of this great privilege,
we should at all times avail our
selves of this invaluable posses
sion. On Tuesday next all regis
tered voters will have an oppor.

of the most important elections

Presenting the case against ex-

Attorney W. K. Rhodes, Jr., in an
address over WMFD last night, and
in the course of his talk, called
attention to the fact that four cir

forth reasons why the extension

VOTING DAY PLAN
Bellamy Expresses Conf.
dence OF Extension
Election Outcome

Expressing confidence in the
favorable outcome of the city ex-
tension election on Tuesday ii a
full turnout of voters is obtained,
Emmett H. Benamy, Wilmington
attorney presented a motion at a
Getting Of the Citizens Commit
tee for City Extension in the CITY
Hall last night that, all employ
ers in the city be requested to re-
lease employees to vote If they
were unable to vote during lunch
hours or after work."
The motion was carried by a
unanimous vote after a short dis
cussion. ." g., @''..
Earlier in, the meeting it had
been pointed out by Mr.. Kornegay
Of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad,
that the one-hour lunch period
wcs insufficient for employees Of
the railroad, many Of whom live
IN the suburbs, to vote at outlying
polling places. With the polls open
from $50 am to $50 pm, only
one hour is allowed after quitting
time, he pointed out, adding en-
ployes in his office would be per-
mitted to vote during business
hours.
Thomas w. Davis, Coast Line
official, said that persons in his
office would be released and made
several practical suggestions as to
getting voters who have registered
to the polls.
The matter of transportation to
the polls was discussed and it was
pointed out that many voters live
some distance from the voting
places which often are not served
by bus transportation.
It was decided that at least Is
cars be obtained and plans were
discussed for dispatching Of cars.
Two to three cars are to be sta
toned at the Coast Line building.
Hargrove Bellamy, chairman OF
the committee said that he was
gratified with the results Of the
last day Of registration and said
that a let down in efforts could
lose the decision in the last lap.
Committee reports were heard
and the directors sat after the
meeting to take into consideration
several suggestions made by mem
bers of the committee.
