Show REMEDY THE GOLDEN RULE We hear much talk these days about the middleman. He is blamed for a large part of the present high cost of living. The public utility industry employs no middleman. Public utility service serv-ice is sold direct from producer to consumer. This may be the reason that utility companies hnve been able to survive on but slightly increased rates dur-, dur-, ing the past few yeurs of sky-rocketing prices and wages. But the best utility management has reached the limit. It can't live on sawdust any more than the farmer's farm-er's horse. The public must recogni.e the facts and allow an adequate Income to these great public servants. The problem is not complicated and the remedy is simple. The public must be willing to pay for service rendered and not demand something for nothing. |
