Cortelyou, president of the | Edison Electric Insiitute, “which would put | commodity prices up in order to stimulate | economic recovery and at the same time would put utility prices down—when the proper functioning of the utilities is neces- Sary to the success of any recovery pro- gram.” Yet, there are a goed many people| who advocate doing just that. They want recovery. They want stimulated employ- ment and higher yages ior workers. They | want to see the wholesale and commodity | 27. price indexes go hack to normal levels And at the same time they want to make utility rates fcllow precisely the opposite trend, and place every difficulty in the way of this great i:.dustry continuing its mos commendable employment and construc- | tion record. | There are likewise the people who have heen sug. ting special utility tax- es by the duzen the last year or two, and have enacted some of them into law. At! ithe moment no comparable industry is forced to bear such discrjmination in the | matter of taxation—none is reaping so lit- tle oi the fruits of recovery. And, as Mr. Cortelyou intimates, none is more essential to recovery. Utilities are signing codes which will | increase operating expense. What effect | the codes will have on the gross cost of | producing and distributing power remains to be seen—-but it should be thoroughly understood that the effect must be reflect- | ed in the rate structure, if the ¢ompanies } are to be maintained on a sound basis. | Ask the average business man what! he would think if it were demanded that | he pay more for everything he buys, and | sell his own product for less. That is what certain critics are demanding of the utili- | ies. | SPENDING IS SAVING NOW True economy is that which obtain: the largest possible return for a doilar ; spent. Truer economy is to spend that | doliar at a time when it will bring the | most. | We have had a number of years Bek extreme depression. Prices have dropped | to.unitndginably iow levels. Buying pow- | er has been close to non-existent. There was money in the country—but persons} who had surpluses were afraid to spend. They. went without needed articles in or- der to keep their savings intact. They per- mitted property to fall into costly disre- pair. If they pursue that timid policy any longer, they are going to be literally out of luck. That hoarded money is going down in value now. The worth of the dollar de- pends entirely upon what it will buy. Six | months from now it v buy much than it will buy today. In other words, if you keep money in a_ non-productive state at present it amounts to certain per age of it away. H ¥ou can get a maximum value from your money only by putting it to use.
