TAXES AND PUBLIC UTILITIES By MORSE DeLLPLAIN, OF HAMMOND ' Vice-President Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Company. Improvements and extensions In 1 Public Utility service sre not paid for out of earnings, but out of new capital. With that fundamental be- ’ fore us, I believe we can get a much clearer conception of taxation difficulties confronting public utility ( operators. A public utility dollar is a private dollar invested for the pub- * lie good. With It. we light our homes, cook our food and converse i with other folks miles away. The public utility dollar provides those essentials that make the greatest , difference between the conditions of our own life today, and those of our ancestors a century ago. In considering the effects of taxation on the utility dollar, I believe we can best start at the beginning of its career. A dollar turned loose in the investment field either becomes a utility dollar or Its does not. It is imperative that $750,000,000 be annually invested in the public utilities st this nation, if the utilities are to meet the demands for extension of service. National progress will be seriously retarded whenever public aUltties are financially unable to meet these demands. There is much competition for the service of the well-invested dollar. Most of this competition in the money markets Is fair, but strangely enough the most unfair competitor with whom the public utility seeking new capital has to coatend, is the very government on whose protection the necessary stability of public utility service is based. I refer to the tax-exempt Federal, State, and Municipal bond, which is retarding private enterprise to the point of serious menace. Indirectly,-the public utilities are finding this a real tax burden. In their search for new capital, they find the tax-exempt bond a very formidable obstacle. I quote from a brief on the Taxation of Utilities submitted Mr. P. H. Gadsdep representing the American Gas Association, the American Electric Railway Association, and the National Electric Light Association, to the House Ways and Means Committee in the fall of 1921. "I want to call the committee’s attention to the serious burden which the excess-profits taxes and the high surtaxes have In an indirect way upon the public utility business” said Mr. Gadsden. “We have recently had a study made qf the effect of the surtaxes and the income tgxes upon the sale of public utility Mcurtties. Wo have been very much disturbed te find that under the present taxation and fiscal laws of this government, the tax payer who Is subject to a surtax of over three per cent cannot afford to buy a public utility security paying eight per cent er less,* in preference to a five per cent tax-exempt bond. That means that practically the only purchases of our come from the people who are in the 119,000 class. The reason for it is that the public utility, being regulated by law, its earnings being kept down to practically eight per cent., it, of course, cannot have any long-time issue securities of a greater rate of interest.” The same report shows that the public utility is treated |n gigry respect b«t Ope, fgp differently from the strictly private enterprise. The one exception Is In the matter of taxation. In this respect, the utility bears all the brunt but gains none of the compensation that goes to the non-gov-ernmentally controlled enterprise. The taxation of the utility dollar should bear some relation to the effect that this taxation will have on the future investment tn the business. Public utility service Is an gbsolpte necessity, and tgxgtigg that impedes uß|ty service is a discrimination against the nation itself. What inducements can we offer the investment dollar? In the flrat place. It has the guarantee of permanency. Public utilities must exist no long as our standards of living exist The people through the regulatory bodies say In effect, “You tun your business exactly as we want yon to do, charge the rates that we set for your service, give the standard of service that we specify, and we in our turn will see that you earn a fair profit on our appraised value of your property which la used and useful in penice." When fresh capital is needed the utility operator goes into the money markets and In his turn says to the Investor, ‘‘lnvest your dollars In this company because wo are complying tn every respect with the conditions laid down by your representatives, and we can therefore Insure you a definite return on your investment.” On the Inducement 1 have just reviewed, depends the future financing of our public utilities. Since 1919, taxes paid by the Public Utilities in Indiana have Increased 12%. I am told that the tax "chunk” in the Indiana utility dollar is today about as follows: Water Companies It eeats Telephone Companies 17 cents Gas Companies ....11 cento Electric Companies 10 cents Traction Companies 8 cents The burden is rapidly becoming excessive. Anything—taxes, too low rates, unfair restrictions—anything that endangers the fair return on Invested utility capital, is heading every essential public utility service business toward ' bankruptcy—or a rate increase—the one not to be thought of and the other undesirable. I do not plead for the total exemption of public utility securities, but I do believe that with the necessity of excellent utility service ever in mind, a respread of the burden of taxation can profitably be made so that taxation will offer as little as possible opposition to the progress nnh!i/i nHHkw davalnnmant

Theught and Habit, Life, tn a way, seems to be an accumulation of habits; physical habits and mental habits. We do things one certafv way for years and we think cer>** thoughts for years. Wo think oftentmes, just because it is a habit, that what we do and what we think is the right way to do and think. We may have contracted a bad habit and never have known IL We may have been wrong for forty years.—Jarvis 3. Hicks. * o Wrote “Blood” Bible. 1 One <>f the most noted Bibles is the < “blood” Bible, the work of Frederick ■on Confined In chains by (Frederick the Great, as punishment for making love to the king’s sister, * the Princess Amelia, Trenk inscribed two hundred blank pages in his Bible with love sonnets in honor of the prin cess, every word being written in his own blood. , o “Grooory" Stores. Webster’s dictionary gives as one of the meanings of the word "grocery” in the United States a "retail grocer’s store." It is quite correct to use it In this sense and to pluralise it, so as to make it unnecessary to say “grocery stores,” just as we have "bakeries,” etc. , o Job for “Mon.” Freddie was much elated at the thought of going downtown to buy his first cloth suit. But he looked dubiously at his mother, who was preparing to go with him. Then his face brightened, and. looking importantly at his father, he said. “Daddle, don’t you think us men would know more about buying a suit?”—Exchange. o Honey of High Food Value. Honey is one of the moot concentrated foods. Most foods contain a certain amount of indigestible matter which is discharged from the system in the form of waste. In honey a fraction of 1 per cent only is actual waste.

These people were cliff dwellers, but they should not be confused with the cliff dwellers who lived high up on the faces of cliffs lu Arizona and New ’ Mexico. Many crude weapons and implements were found perfectly preserved in the dry soil under the Overhanging cliffs.
