ADVISABILITY OF BUYING GAS CO. REQUIRES STUDY

BY VINC KNT LYONS liim tininml fditor Having delved deeply into the corporate innards of the Citizens Gas Cos and less deeply into the gas rate structure, the writer today recapitulates the highlight* of the preceding 16 articles. In addition, this resume poses a group of questions which a.e of major concern to every gas cot -tuner and every taxpaver in the city The conclusions drawn In the various articles have resulted from a long and intensive survey. Figures cited in connection with the Citizens fas Cos. were taken from the annual reports tiled with the Public Service Commission and the com pan’s own books. The miscellaneous inferences on rates for ga- were prompted after careful analysis of these charges as reported by the American Gas Association. Th series of articles on the gas ■itnation have proved: 1. That both bondholders and atockholriers of the Indianapolis Gas Cos. as a result of the lease consummated in 1913 with the Citizens Gas Cos., have been guaranteed a fixed return on their investment as long as the lease remains in effect. Ga. Rale Has Increased 2. That the gas rate in Indianapolis has increased from 60 cents to $1 05 since 1920. although the original contract between the city and the Citizens Gas Cos. provided that the charge would never be above 60 cents. 3. That 62 per cent of the total operating revenues of the Citizens Gas Cos. since 1914 has gone into operating expenses, indicating that the production of jnanufactured gas is an expensive proposition. 4. That earnings of the Citizens Gas Cos. from residuals, which includes coke, have declined from $6 331.017 111 1920 to SI 475 266 in 1933 5. That the combined book values of the Citizens Gas Cos. and the Indianapolis Gas Cos. are $lB 404.165. wherea* stock and bond issues of the two companies currently outstanding are $16,019,000. 6 That the Citizens Gas Cos., as now rompri-ed. must pay out $942.509 yearly to miscellaneous stock and bondholders. Invested in Coal f'ompanv 7 That the Citizens Gas Cos. has made sizable investments In the Milburn By-Products Coal Cos. of West Virginia, over a period of years. 8. That the mysterious Dow ACos. owns 30.985 common shares of the Citizens Gas Cos. and 3.158 ; eoromon shares of the Indianapolisj c. s Cos. 9. That officers of the Citizens ; Gas Cos. had been owners of large blocks of the common stock at one tlm*. 10. That if the city of Indianapolis were to take over the Citizens Gas Cos. on July 1 It would need approximately $7,766,000 to retire the two stock issues and the bonds and accumulated interest and dividends up to that date. If the Indianapolis Gas Cos. lease were taken up on the present basis further indebtedness of $8,881,000 would be in- ! curred 11. That the Indianapolis Gas Cos owns 530 miles of the 867 miles of gas mains now utilized by the Citizens Gas Cos.. Natural Gas Cheaper I? That weird fluctuations oeru: throughout Indiana, and the nation as well, in the price of both manu-, faetured and natural gas. However, it is proven that natural gas. of a higher British Thermal United content. is much cheaper than manufactured gas of a lower B. T. U. content. 13. That Indianapolis Is not paying an exorbitant rate for manufactured gas when contrasted with other cities also receiving that type of gas. 14. That on a national scale, gas. without regard to type. Is on the average about 19 rents a 1900 cubic feet cheaper under municipal ownership Uian it is under private ownership 15. Tlvat a provision of the bonds to be issued bv the Department of Public Utilities for the purpose of acquiring die Citizens Gas Cos makes it possible for the board of directors of the department to levy a tax on all property owners in Indianapihs to meet principal and interest on those obligations in the event that earnings are not sufficient for this purpose. Recommendations Made 16 That the taxpayers, being so vitally affected by any steps taken, might rightfully question whether the dividend accruaLs on the Citizens Gas Cos. common stock, which will amount to SSOO 900 on Julv 1. is legally a direct obligation because of the fact that in several years earnings were insufficient to warrant such disbursements While the directors of the DepartLOANS AND NEW HOME BUILDING See Your Local Building: & Loan Assns. —WATCH REPAIRING— H'lh r • t Isc |4oc> $1 8.-’iad Cr?- M.l. •!•. tsnrj m Jewel .r Shaped.

Utopians Organize Here; Promises Outdo Huey’s Kingfish Put in Shade by Offerings of Society Founded on Coast; Nordvke Scion in Charge.

r | ''HE Utopian Society of America, one of the many “isms” which have A mushroomed from California in* the last year, has arrived in Indianapolis and wifi soon present its four dramatized cycles to the public. To one and all of “good moral character,” it offers a program which would guarantee an income of $4500 a year, about S2OOO a year more than Huey Long's “Share-the-Wealth” plan, no taxes, no mortgages and universal education.

The Indianapolis agent Is R. S. Nordyke, a mild-appearing. but earnest young man whose grandfather was one of the founders of the Nordyke A: Marmon Cos. The movement built up a gigantic membership during the campaign of Upton Sinclair for Governor of California. Since that time it has been somewhat eclipsed by the Townsend Revolving Old-Age Pension plan. The organization sought me out and s*nc.e I have always been a liberal. I gladly accepted the position of Indianapolis leader," Mr. Nordyke said. a a a ''TMIE membership is organized A on an endless chain plan. Each member is pledged to bring another into the fold. Small meetings are held in various places vntil it is felt that there are enough per ons interested to hold a mass meeting. The members arp supplied with pamphlets explaining the purposes of the society. But not until the mass meeting are all the glories revealed through the dramatizations. In answering questions of the intricate economics involved in carrying out the society’s program, Mr. Nordvke said, “You really can't understand it all until you see the cycles. They explain everything.” The first two cycles portray the average American citizen plowing through the depression. The last two cycles show him growing to prosperity and happiness under the Utopian scheme. The social-political ideas expressed bv the society are the product of no one man, but. as Mr. Nordvke frankly admits, are a mixture of many theories. a a a IN bold type, the Utopian bulletin states: “Unlimfi.-d education will be provided for all. Few hours of easy work are required of only a portion of the citizenry, and that, in the fields of their own chocsing. Bounteous provision is made for all over-aged, sick or incapacitated without charity or humiliation. Crime and criminal institutions will be 99 per cent eliminated, along with the ugliness of present-day efforts at control. There are no taxes, no mortgages, no debts. There can not be. Fear of loss or poverty is no longer the dominating influence in men s lives.”

ment of Public Work* arc negotiating with banking interests for a | loan to fiance the city's acquisition ! of the Citizens Gas Cos., not one official word has been received of just where the city administration! stands in regard to this purchase. In view of the city's failure pub- 1 licly to declare its policy on this I important venture, the following recommenoations might tentatively be offered to Mayor Kern and the Department of Public Utilities for their earnest consideration: 1. Natural gas beyond question should be substituted for the present expensive manufactured gas. Rental Is Too High 2 There is a question whether the citv should take title to the Citizens Gas Cos. by paying out $7,766,000 it acquires only 337 miles of gas main, or less than 40 per cent of the entire svstem now in use. In order to gain the remaining 60 per cent, negotiations must be entered into with the Indianapolis Gas Cos. 3. The present rental of $483,000 {vtid to the Indianapolis Gas Cos. by the Citizens Gas Cos. is too burdensome for the city to incur. Anew arrangement should be made pro- , viding for a much lower rental. 4 Might not the entire Citizens Gas Cos. set-up be subjected to a thorough overhauling by the city to determine whether the projected sum should be paid. Let the officials assume the role of "doubting Thomases.” Citizens Gas has wandered a long way from its original role and. in the process, has added substantially to its debt load. Expansion since 1907 has not brought about commensurate growth in earnings. In 1907 charges on debt were SIOO,OOO. Today they are $813.579 annually, including the rental under the lease. Reserve Fund Advised 5 Might not the city engineers weigh the proposition of constructing an entirely new gas mam system to replace the present set-up. It might be possible for Indianapolis to expend less money via this method than would be demanded by an outright purchase of Citizens Gas Os course obstacles are in the wav of such a program. Have them brought out into the open and Let the citizens of Indianapolis get the most for the least expensse. 6 A reserve fund should be created bv the city agency wnen. as and if the gas plant is municipally owned. Into this reserve fund should go the taxes which would be paid on the plant under private ownership. In this way the taxpayers would not be faced with the prospect of a boost made necessary by the loss in revenue due to the disappearance of the Citizens Gas Cos. 7 If the municipal gas system is to be operated for the public good, widest publicity should be given to the activities of this project. In this manner the taxpayers, who own the plant, will know what is going on. •THE END> Wkc ijour Skin Special Care The Soap to cleanse and invigorate, the Ointment to soothe and promote healing.

The Utopians believe that the machine and technological unemployment are the basis of economic trouble and that consumption should be balanced. Every one would be granted an income of at least $4500 a year. Incomes would not be limited, however. Again i the bulletin speaks: “The rich will enjoy riches be- ; yond any former concept of permanent luxury; even those among the 215 families who now control 90 per cent of the industrial facilities of the country, and thereby temporarily control the destinies of vast numbers of people. “Should they prove so stubborn or stupid as to refuse compliance with the new order, they will be saved, nevertheless, from I their own folly and will have their abundant security thrust upon ! them.” a a a rpHE society is not an enemy of X capitalism, Mr. Nordyke pointed out. Indeed the only political group banned from membership are the Communists. Members must swear not to overthrow the government. Other provisions of the Utopian program are that only those between 25 and 45 shall actually work and that every person shall receive education until he is 25. Although the society claims that the program has been worked out by science, vhich in the form of machines it abhors, nevertheless i the details of how a nation may be run in such bounteous plenty and without taxes is somewhat a mystery to the unitiated. A central bank and the losses of one industry balanced by the gains from another are two of the ways it would operate. Laws would be passed hy legislators who have been wooed over to the theories of the Utopian, Mr. Nordyke said. Money would have a purchasing value and not a profit value, the Utopian explains. It would be distributed by the government yearly with the provision that it must be spent. The money distributed would be on a basis of goods produced. The local organization has been perfected and an advisory board named, although Mr. Nordyke refuses to name the advisers or the membership. At any rate, according to Mr. Nordyke, it is here to stay.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PAST SCANDALS MAKE WORK OF LOBBYIST HARD Record of Abuses Revealed by Each New Probe in Congress. This is the third of five articles hr Ruth Finney on lobbying in Washington at practiced in the past and today. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 1. —The sins of past lobbies hang like millstones about the necks of those who try to bring pressure on Congress for or against measures today. Every investigation of lobbies has added to the list of abuses on the record. In 1913, the Mulhall investigation disclosed that the National Association of Maufacturers was the ventriloquist pulling the strings that operated the National Council for | Industrial Defense, the National Tariff Commission Association, and I the Workingmen's Protective Association. In 1929, the Caraway Committee I found that Charles L. Eyanson, assistant to the president of the Manufacturers’ Association of Connecticut, had been brought to WashingI ton as a “clerk” by Senator Hiram ' Bingham of Connecticut and taken into executive sessions of the Senate Fnance Committee, then at work on the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill. Fomented Latin Hostility It found that William Burgess, one-time member of the United States Tariff Commission but longer | in. the employ of the United States 1 Pottery Association, tried to have i Frederick Koch dismissed as a tariff | commission expert on pottery when 1 Mr. Koch supplied information to low-tariff senators as well as hightariff ones. Investigating the sugar lobby, It was found that “a particularly reprehensible part of the program carried on by H. C. Lakin was an effort to stir up hostility to the United States in Latin American countries upon the assumption that it, by its tariff policy, was mistreating Cuba.” It found that the Southern Tariff Association, the American Taxpayers’ League, the National Council of State Legislators and other organizations were “all aliases under which one J. A. Arnold operates ostensibly to influence congressional legislation, but in fact for the purpose of making a living for himself and a small group associated with him.” (Mr. Arnold is currently active again in Washington, soliciting funds for his “American Taxpayers' League, Inc.”) Grundy and Shearer The Caraway committee delved into the activities and views of Joseph R. Grundy, “whose chief contribution to political life has consisted of the raising of funds for campaign use,” whose zeal for high tariffs “is religious in its intensity,” jyid who “felt an obligation to come to Washington to see that . . . the individuals who, through his solicitation, contributed to the campaign fund, were made whole.” It explored the means by which Muscle Shoals legislation had been successfully blocked for more than 10 years. That same year another senatorial committee undertook to investigate the munitions lobby and heard testimony that William B. Shearer, paid by steel men and shipbuilders, had helped scuttle the Geneva naval conference. Utilities Inquiry Staged At about the same time. Senator j George W. Norris ana the late Senator Thomas J. Walsh began to ask for investigation of utility propa- j ganda. When Mr. Walsh's resolution to that end was finally given a hearing, the Senate was startled by the weight of pressure brought to defeat it. It voted for the investigation, and soon .thereafter learned from the Federal Trade Commission that $400,000 had been collected by the Joint Committee of National Utility Associations to fight the investigation and the Boulder Dam, Muscle Shoals and other bills then pending, j Last November, the Trade Commission, summarizing its findings of the last six years, said of the utility campaign: “To such an extent lias the utility program taken into consideration every public contact’ that no campaign approaching it in magnitude has ever been conducted except possibly by governments in war time. The various utility associations have | collected and disbursed probably more money for good will purposes than has been secured or paid out by any other group or organization not actually engaged in commerce or manufacture.” “Impregnable Wall” Claimed The Commission recognized “the industry's right to make public an impartial presentation of the essential facts of its industry so long as it does not impose a burden on the rate payer or deceive the consuming public.” but added that "even where a utility speaks and spends directly and openly against government ownership, it raises the question to what extent a publicly granted monopoly may properly use funds collected from the public to perpetuate itself through control of public opinion.” It dwelt at some length on es- i forts of the industry to sell its stock to a large number of small holders, and quoted A. Emery Wishon, chairman of the Customer Ownership Committee of the National Electric Light Association, as having an- i nounced that in this plan the utili- \ ties had at last “found material to make impregnable the wall around private business.” “It is on this wall that the indus-1 try is relying today to defeat thej Ravbum utility holding company ; bill.

rcvM© zVAlMlia^s Chief of Air Service Seripp'i-Howard Junior Aviator HERE'S an idea! Since we’ve having all sort of record-break-ing flights and races . . . speed, endurance, long distance . . . why not do our own thinking on an American contest that will out-rival the England to Australia race? Let's get busy and promote a race from New York down through Mexico, down the West Coat of South America, across the Andes to Buenos Aires . . . and then back up the East Coast of South America, across Cuba to Miami, and back up to New York. Now there’s a thought! Let’s start talking about it. Such a race course would be about 15,000 miles for the round trip . . . and about 4000 miles longer than the England to Australia event. Such a race as I have suggested would attract the attention of the world . . . and tie up the two Americas to the benefit of both. It’s an inspiring thought and I hope we don’t wait until someone else starts another foreign long distance race. Let’s get out and propose a bigger and better one . . . one that would mean just as much in the advance of air transportation . . . and one that very possibly would re-open South American aircraft markets to our airplane and engine builders. You know, of course, that recent cancellation of airplane orders in South America was a serious thing for American aviation. As this market is closed to us, European manufacturers are sure to move in. So you can see how a race to South America wpuld be of real benefit. . . . First, paving the wav for an immense transportation system . . . second, re-opening the South American market to United States aeronautical manufacturers. QUESTION—What is the “fairing” on a plane?

MAYOR FACING JAIL TERM IN UTILITY FIGHT Huntington Official Defies Court Order; Contempt Action Likely. By United Press HUNTINGTON, Ind., April I. With a jail term looming for himself and his city electricians unable to collect salaries, Mavor C. W. H. Bangs and his utility fight became an involved affair this afternoon. Continuing to connect private residences and business houses to the municipal light plant, Mayor Bangs was notified by his attorneys that he was “getting close to a prison term on a court contempt charge.” Despite a court- order prohibiting interference with service rendered by the Northern Indiana Power Cos., service has been extended to a score or more customers from the city electric plant. The contempt citation looms at the approaching hearing in the Huntington Circuit Court before Special Judge David Smith, Ft. Wayne, when the power company will seek to have a temporary restraining order made permanent. Six new customers were added to the city system last week. The new patrons included a city official and five citizens who disconnected the •lines from the power company and hooked up with the city plant. Mayor Bangs has fought the utility for 10 years since he came here as president of Huntington College. City electricians who sought their pay Saturday as “street maintenance workers,” after installing a new 2300-volt distribution line from the city plant, were given no promise when, they would receive their checks. Payment would be unlawful, city attorneys said, and would be in open violation of the restraining order. Power company officials today were planning further steps to pre- j vent Mayor Bangs’ activities, but; would not reveal the nature of the action.
