M.D.U. NET EARNINGS
INCREASED MORE THAN
10 PER CENT I'M 1854

Net earnings of Montana-Dakota
Utilities Co. in 1853 scared more than
IS per cent higher than in 1852 in
what was described as record-break-
ing year by MDU board chairman R.
NJ, Heskett, Minneapolis.
Operating revenues were $19,563,-
221, as compared with $18, 467,45 in
1852. Electric revenues of the COM
pany increased from S7,874,622 in
1852 to $8,535, 401 in 1853. Gas reve-
nues went up from $40, 180,068 to
$40, 1926. Total revenue increase
was S ,095, 768-or six per cent high
er than in 1862.
Net earnings of the company in
creased from $I,S64,289 to ST.
224,413 in 1858. This was an in
crease of $36O,124. Net earnings
for 1858 were more than 8 per
cent higher than in 1852. Net earn
ings found the company receiving
a return of Il per cent on ev-
cry dollar of gross income.
MDU, Delaware corporation, pro-
vides gas and electric service in east
ern Montana, the Dakotas and part of
Minnesota. Control of the utility is
tightly held by the Heskett family.
In addition to gas and electricity, the
company holds mineral rights of
considerable acreage in the Williston
Basin.
The record net earnings of 1853
reflect only a small part of the
Fl to SIS per cent gas rate increase
granted the company on its Billings
gas division late in 1853 by the
Public Service Commission. The
new rate schedule took effect De-
cember 1, 1853.
The higher rate schedule now in
effect in Billings, Laurel, Belfry,
Bridger, Edgar, Fromberg, Joliet,
Park City and Silesia, will increase
total MDU earnings by an estimated
$75O,000. Billings people currently
have a petition before the Commits
sion requesting that another hearing
be held and that the rate bump grant
ed last fall be set aside on grounds
that it is unreasonable, unjust, dis
and confiscatory." Also
pending in the courts is an action
filed by Attorney General Arnold Oh
sen, asking the courts to void the
rate increase ruling by the Commits
sion.

600 delegates ''we must plan now,

Patton proposed major study on

of farmer-consumer co-operatives to
reduce the spread and costs in milk
and dairy marketing.

would fit his budget

Patton contended 1--WE must apply the
lessons learned in the Tennessee val
ley to the Missouri valley and to 9TH

multl-purpose dams, power grids, and

In making his plea for state
wide consumer movement, Olsen
told his listeners about the meet
ing last Thursday night in Helena
and how more than 400 had
gathered to protest excessive utili-
ty rates :"
In opening his talk, he said 81 think
| expressed the sentiments of the
gathering when | said that a con-
dition which has for years been bad
has become intolerable." Bad as are
excessive telephone rates and, ex-
cessive natural gas rates." the great
er wrong" he said was "as expressed
by one of our leading citizens . d.
The greater wrong is that part of
your government, the Public Service
Commission of the State of Montana,
has fallen down on it's job-has fall
len down in its responsibilities to the
people. That great wrong strikes at
the very heart of the economy of
Montana We have for years heard
the cry that Montana needs more in
dustry,--that the only way Montana
can grow is to encourage the develop
ment of industry.
The greatest and most damaging
blows against the development of
industry in Montana were made
last year by your own Railroad and
Public Service Commission.
In that year was granted to the
Montana Power Company an in
crease in the rate for natural gas
of from 1890 to 472o,-granting
to the Montana Power Company ev-
erything they asked for; and grant
ed to the Montana Dakota Utilities
Company an increase in the rate
for natural gas of from 2090 to
503o-granting to the Montana Da-
kota Utilities Company everything
they asked for; and granted to
the railroads operating in Montana
more than 1870 increase in freight
rates-granting to the railroads
everything that they asked for;
and granted to the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company
the third telephone increase in
three years.-granting to the tele-
phone company substantially every
thing they asked for.

Dor to obtain safer working con-
ditions and cut down on the tragic
toll of Industrial accidents through
out the state.
Legislation authorizing the enact
ment of safety codes was adopted
by the 1851 legislature, but was in
operative for lack of an appropria-
ton to carry out its provisions. An
appropriation of $4,000 made by the
1858 session became temporarily
side-tracked when it was found the
appropriation had enormously been
made to the Adjutant Generals of
flee instead of the Industrial Acct
dent Board where it belonged. A rul-
ing by Attorney General Arnold Oh
sen finally cleared the path for u.s.
age of the appropriation by the In
dustrial Accident Board charged with
carrying out the code legislation.
1t is reported the Lumber Industry
Code was given preference because
of a great amount of voluntary work
by both management and labor rep
resentatives in preparing rough drafts
of a proposed code for logging and
during early days of the
legislative tangle.

Railroad and public utility rates
are regulated by the state because
these businesses are monopolies and
are not subject to the competition
which operates in the free enterprise
system to keep prices at a reason
able level. Because of the nature
of their service, railroads and public
utilities must almost of necessity be
monopolies, but inasmuch as they are
monopolies, they must be controlled
so their rates do not unnecessarily
gouge the consuming public.
The Commissions chief function is
to determine the value of the plant
and equipment which the utility is
actually using to furnish service to
it's customers and to fix the percent
age of that value which will be fair
rate of return. In other words, the
higher the value fixed by the Com
mission, the higher your utility bills
are.
In the rate hearings last May, the
Commission was asked by the COM
panies to increase the valuations it
had placed on their plant and equip
ment My office and many consum-
ers protested that the requested valu-
atoms were far too high. 1t was gen
orally felt that the utilities had asked
for a great deal more than they ex-
pected to get, in order to make sure
that they got what they wanted.
The standard of valuation ac-
cepted by the Commission was
plainly unfair to consumers of tele-
phone service and natural gas. That
standard in effect, was this:
All property of the telephone COM
pany and the power company, no
matter what its value on the COM
panies' books, and no matter what its
value for taxation, was valued as
though it were purchased new at 1853
prices. In other words, we may be
served with twenty year old equip

The Meaning of Chanukah
BY Rabbi Israel J. Gerber
Dothan. Ala.

believe it would be safe to say
that Chanukah is the most popu-
lar of Jewish observances. 1t is
understandable because it is a
festival which illuminates our
homes with faith and hope every
year, we exchange gifts, our blood
is fired with the epic tales of the
brave Judas and the loyal Jews,
and the 'latkes'' m a d e good
eating.
On the serious side, the Chanu-
kah story contains valuable mean
ing to mankind today. It gives us
the faith and courage with which
to face the present day crises that
surround men throughout the
world. For Chanukah is a festival
which declares the triumph of
idealiSm over hedonisEl; it up
holds the glorious examples of
firmness of principle against con-
venience; it appeals to the imagi-
nation of all to whom civilization
is a treasure, whose defense is
worth ones life.
The greatness of the Chanukah
story lay in the fact that the
struggle the Jews engaged in was
for the freedom to worship God
as their consciences dictated,
rather than for more territory or
to impose their views on others.
Our ancestors faced the most
powerful warriors of their day for
the sake of their God and their
way of life. Truly, though Chanu-
kah is regarded as minor holi-
day, in the forcefulneSs of its
message, it has been and is a
major festival that has enabled
the Jewish people to survive the
many ordeals it has been COM
PEELED to experience.
