Someone had the bright idea of felicitating the king upon his good fortune in having Ruth Bryan Owen as representa- tive of the United States at his court. Mrs. Edna.G, Fullar, former legislator, drafted | the cablegram with the aid. of the school board chief and the editor of the Sentinel, and between them, the lattér, confesses, they shruck off a piece of literature which seemed to’their provincial minds as some- thing nifty—even for a king.” Months passed and no answer came. “Then Mrs. Owen heard of it and hastened to explain.

Tt is true that prices, generally, -have hit rock bottom... It is likewise true that utility rates were at ‘bargain’ levels in the days when other prices were zooming mer- tily to the skies. Surveys in’ 1928 and thereabouts showed ‘that while the gener- al price index ‘wastwo ‘or ‘more times the 1918 standard, the electric and gas rate index was far below. Even now, utility rates are lower, in ¢omparison to the pre- war standard, than are prices generally. A utility is in a very different posi- tion from the ordinary business. Capita! turnover—income in.relation to investment —is slow, being about once.in five -years, as compared with once or twice a year in most businesses. Service must be main- tained at a high level whether business is good or bad—the company can't close its plant, as-can a manufacturing’concern, and await better days. And, while the ordi- nary Business makes,enough profit in,good times to set up handsome reserves against bad, the utility industry, even during a boom, is allowed only a very moderate profit, under public regulation. Even if we could ‘artificially force utility rates lower, it would avail us noth- ing. It would damage service, cause un-. employment, preventexpansion and im- provement, penalize investors, and have a ‘hundred other unfortunate aspects. Rates will come down, as in the past, when the industry finds out how to ;produce and de- liver power more ffictently and “cheaply. There is no other sound way of achieving reductions.
