At the end of 1933, the number had grown to more than 21,000,000. This amazing extension of service was largely the result of the elimination of small electric generating stations, serving a handful of customers in a limited area, and their replacement by large fuel and hydro stations which, through interconnection of high tension transmission lines, aro aide to serve thousands of square miles and millions of persons. Greater volume, as in any other business, lowers the unit cost and the consequence was a reduction in the average residential rate from 18.2 cents per to 6.49 cents' between 1902 and 1933. The present drive for municipal ownership threatens all that has been gained in the past. Great systems would bo broken up, and we would return to the conditions of twenty years ago. Efficiency jvould inevitably decline. And the hardest hit of all would be the residents of small towns and farmers. The private electric industry is rapidly providing the rural dweller with power as cheaply as it does the city dweller. To furnish this service with small, isolated plants would raise costs, stop the development of rural electrification, hnd lower stand' ards of service. The amount the private electric industry pays in taxes now runs from 10 to 15 per cent of its total receipts. In 1933 it paid $225,000,-00- 0 to various local, state and national tax collecting agencies. onnected ed plants are generally tax emempt and pay nothing. Removing tlje private systems from the tax rolls would necessitate higher taxes for all other property. And, in case of operating deficits, which are quite common with small municipal plants, the taxpayers would have to make them up, as they would also have to pay for useless of electric duplication service getting nothing for something. The municipal ownership movement is definitely a step backward both socially and economically. All the political in the world cant hide that fact. grand-standin- g An Indefensible Paradox In an article in Public lltiliti Fortnightly, James C. DeEong points out a strange paradox in the attitude of government toward the electric industry. At the moment, the government is seeking lower rates for power both to industry and the consumer. It is likewise pursuing policies wh:ch are raising utility operating costs, lowering their earnings, and making it more difficult for them to attract capital. Constant political attack cannot help but be adversely reflected in any industrys credit. Mr. l)eIong observes that it is difficult to reconcile these two policies. In the past, utilities have financed themselves with conservative capita! the money of persons e who desire industrial risks bearing moderate interest. Their bonds are bought by individuals who wish to make investments, not speculations by life insurance companies, endowed, institutions, savings hanks and other groups whose first thought is safety. If continuous political attack weakens investor confidence in the utilities, they will be forced to turn .for money to speculate funds. And these, as Mr. DeEong says, always demand a high rate of interest. The greater the risk to the borrower, the greater must be the possible profit. Renting money is like renting anything else the cost of it high-grad- There and Back-- No Delay Saxton, No. 70 10 is dependent upon the reputation of the borrower for stabilityrsafe-iy- , ' pcrmanance. The upshot. of the entire matter js that the present attitude of government towafd the utilities is entirely irreconciable with' the general recovery program. It is directly opposed to increasing employment, trading capital into major industries, . to developing states and communities. The attitude in indefensible and dangerous to public welfare.
