WIZ A TWO-CLASS SYSTEM?

VIII n 1WO-CLAOC / - EM
In attempting to put federal power policy
on sound and business-like basis, the Eisen-
hover Administration has taken a number
OF steps to apply existing laws so that they
treat all citizens alike, insofar as that is
possible. But changes in the laws are needed
If fair play in the power picture is to be
complete
There is, for instance, the preference
clause" legal BOBBY trap that the taxpay-
er may have some difficulty understanding
but one which still has an impact on his poe
ketbOOk. The cause is part of reclamation
and flood control legislation governing the
marketing of power from federal hydrOelec-
trio projects. 1t binds the Department of In
terror to give preference to municipalities,
public agencies and cOOperatives." This
means that the customers of public bodies
get first call on federal power and that 80
per cent OF the nations electric consumers,
who are served by investOr-Owned compan-
les, get what is left over if anything.
The result of the preference clause has
Deen That whenever a new federal dam goes
into operation, areas serviced by private
companies are either ignored completely or
are offered additional power only as long as
the privileged public bodies in the area do not
need it.
Opinion polls indicate that most Ameri-
cans don't know that this two-class system
exists and that they are overwhelmingly
against it when they discover what it is all
about.
Isn't it time for Congress to wipe out this
second-class citizenship for 80 per cent of the
nations power users?

THE EMPHASIS ON. SALESMANSHIP
At intervals leaders in the field of re-
tail trade hold conventions and meetings,
IN which they discuss matters of common
interest and exchange ideas.
It's highly significant that at recent gath
erlngs OF this nature, the strongest kind of
emphasis has been placed on the need for
better salesmanship. This includes adver-
tlsing, displays, and other promotion. It fur
ther includes improvement in the general
caliber of salespeople-the men and women
who represent the store to the prospective
consumer and whose abilities and attitudes
and knowledge may mean the difference be-
tween a good record and bad one in any
retail enterprise.
What we have here is more proof of how
intensely competitive all retail business has
Decome-and how the consumer and his de-
sires dominates present-day thinking in re-
tail circles. There was period. during and
after the war, when it was possible to sell
practically anything, even if shoddy and
Oyer-priced, and when real salesmanship
wasn't needed. That era has gone with the
wlnd-and the successful retailers of the
present are those who offer their wares most
aJtractlvely, and who give the best value and.
service for the money.
Wise retailers know that this is good for
the long-run welfare of their industry. And
its benefits to the consumers are too obvious
to need describing

IN Is YEARS

This year is electric lights Diamond Ju-
bilee. Seventy-five years ago Thomas Edi-
son invented the incandescent lamp. In that
period of time-0nly a moment as history is
measured electricity has utterly transform
ed the living and working standards of the
American people.
This is true of the home, of industry, Of
the farm-one of the industrys greatest
achievements is that SO per cent of all our
farms are using electricity or have it avail
able. And the consumers of power get far
more for each dollar than was the case in
the past-Something that can be said of few
other commodities or services. In 1858, for
instance, the household user paid only one
per cent of his cost-of-living expenditures
for electricity, as compared with 1.5 per
cent in 1929. Yet the average use of cleo
tricity in the home quadrupled during the
intervening time.
The electric industry has become one of
the largest taxpayers at all levels of gov
ernment; some % per cent of it's total reVe-
nueS now go for taxes. 1t is in the midst of
a multi-billiOn dollar expansion program
which has made possible the meeting of
soaring demand even as reserve capacity has
been increased. 1t is a fact of the utmost
significance that the only power shortages
have been in regions where normal private
enterprise development has been held back
because of drives to sOcialiZe the business
and create political power monopoly
The record speaks for itself. There is no
conceivable power need that the industry
cannot satisfy, at an amazingly low charge
to the consumer.

Hearings Open Today
On $50 Billion Plan
To Modernize Roads
By the Associated Press

Spade work begins today on
President Eisenhower's grand
plan" to modernize the Nations
highway system at an estimated
cost of $50 billion over the next
10 years.
The question OF how. to foot
the bill win be uppermost in the
minds of a special five-member
advisory committee opening two
days of hearings today. Wit
nesses from % organizations are
scheduled to testify.
Gen. Eisenhower named an
old Army associate, retired Gen.
Lucius d. Clay, to head the COM
Inittee. 1t has instructions to
come back with q report for
submission to Congress In jan
uary.
The other committee members
are Dave Beck. head of the AFL
Teamsters Union; Stephen Bech-
tel. president of the San Fran
cisco Construction Co.: s. Sloan
Colt. president of the Bankers
Trust Co., of New York. and Will
liam A. Roberts, president of
Allis Chalmers Manufacturing
Co.. Milwaukee.
The Clay committee and q
special committee named by the
Governors conference will meet
after the election next month to
work out a roads plan.
Gen. Eisenhower said in a
message to the Governors con-
ference last July that it would
take about IS billion a year for
each of the next 10 years to
set up a highway network fit
for the atomic age. The Presi-
dent did not say where the
money would come from.
Generally speaking, the pro-
gram was received coolly by the
Governors, many of whom said
they wanted the Federal Gov
ernment ito get out Of the field
of gasoline taxation. The Clay
committee is going to look into
this problem, as well as that of
financing the kind of program
Gen. Eisenhower outlined.

EoR SWISS fisherman Edgar Rochat. the
l. AK is just as important as the rod.
Undaunted by the ice that covers Lake Joux
in midwinter. the cold-weather angler chops
holes through the surface at selected spots
and lowers small fish as bait for big ones
Next day, with twigs and branches to guide
him back, he chops open the holes again and
hauls up usually adequate fish fare for the
Jura Mountain folks who live along the banks
of the lake, 5000 feet above sea level
When very little snow covers the lakes icy
surface, he walks out to his batting spots with
a sled behind him. But after heavy down
fall of dry mountain snow, he's apt to take
advantage of its relatively non-skid quality
by riding around the lake on a bike with
fishing gear, ak. nets and bait slung over his
shoulders.
These pictures show the all-season fisher
man on one of his rounds along the lake.
