CITY ELECTRIC SYSTEM

If business belongs to you, then you
should have the privilege of operating it.
That is the view City Commissioner
Hunter Harden, who is a member of the
Utility Board of the City Electric System,
entertains about the local electric light
company.
The city bought it and is paying in
terest promptly on the revenue bonds that
were issued to make the purchase, there.
fore, Mr. Harden contends, the city should
operate the company
y Further he believes that the rates
for electricity should besreduced. He said
he had been informed that, if Stone and
Webster had continued control of the com
pany for four or five months longer, that
corporation would have made further
reduction of rates, amounting to 25 per-
cent
eff Stone and Webster could have
done that, and paid federal taxes, surely
it can done now, with no federal taxes to
pay, Mr.. Harden said.
Mr.. Harden should be commended
for his efforts in connection with the re-
duction of interest on the outstanding
bonds totaling 1888, 900, thereby effect
ing saving of $4,000 for the life of
the bonds.
He said he is not against having a
consulting engineer, but that he should re-
ST side, in Key West and not be a long-dis-
itanGe consultant.
- AS for the reduction Of interest, Mr..
Harden declaf les that the representatives
Of the John Nuveen Company were fair
and cooperative. "They gave us a substan-
tial reduction" he concluded, (which I
believe every resident will regard as fair"
Finally, regardless of the proposed
reduction of consumer rates or interest
rates, the outstanding factor is that, as the
company is city-owned, it should be con-
Quoted by the city, or atleast the city COM
missioners and city manager should be &C
corded wider scope of authority in the
operation of the system.

MIGHT SURVEY THE PLANETS.

t4[ Scientists now know for certain that
high frequency radio waves can. penetrate
'theo efect11efally charged ionosphere which
circles the earth and the stratosphere, ac-
cording to Major-General Harry C. Ingles,
chief of the Army Signal Corps.
The revelation comes in connection
with the report that the Army Signal Corps
has made radar contact with the moon,
which is about 100000 miles from the
earth. The waves were sent into space at
the speed of light, which moves 10000
miles per second, and the echoes came
back in about two and one-half seconds.
The experts say that the experiment
promises valuable peacetime as we'll as
wartime application" The presumption
is that this is a correct statement, although
it will probably require an expert scientist
to know exactly What the possibilities are,
So Among the predictions that are inter-
estflg It's = that of Sir EdwardaAppleton
Britishq DhySicist who thinks that scientists
may be able to accurately map the surface
of the moon. This is followed by specua-
ton as to the possibility of making detail
by the use of radar data which might also
enable US to determine the composition
and atmospheric characteristics of other
celestial bodies.
The reaction of the ignorant individ-
ual will be the same that ignorance has al
ways made to intelligence. The uneducat-
ed man, or woman, will conclude that the
report is fantastic and that the claims adj
vanced are impossible. Some ignorant per-
sons, in spirit of religious fanaticism, will
assert that the whole enterprise is against
the Bible and represents foolish tampering
with the secrets of the Almighty.

NATIONAL GUARD PLANNED

The revelation that the Army plans a

effort wiEnbeoTnade to make the Natlonai
Guard a Well-trained force, equipped and
ready to participate in any and all opera
tons of the Army, whether at home or
abroad
In explaining the program to the
House Military Affairs Committee, Army
officials declared that the pride and ira
ditions of the old organizations will be
utilized as far as practicable" but priority
win be given to air units and divisions, in
fantry regimental combat teams, anti

units and units needed to facilitate. train
ing. It is distinctly explained that the.
units of the Guard will perform heir nor.

authorities" 81. ID. raH '- .nr 49,. =.

federalized, the guardsmen were exempt
from overseas service but many enlisted
for such service before the exemption was
removed and some Guard units took part
in the earliest fighting in the Pacific areas.
The fact that the Army now recon-
mends the permanent creation of a Ma
ton Guard, with the permanent creation
of a National Guard, with the idea of hav-
ing force much larger than our pre-war
organization, indicates that the record
of the guardsmen was acceptable and that
they rendered good service. This is what
