Last week, in one of the weakest wheat markets known, it succeeded in "pegging** the price of December wheat at 73 cents per busheL » The corporation saved, the situation by buying millions of bushels of wheat, and prevented In all probability a catastrophe. But the officials of the farm board were quite frank in stating then, that if there is not a curtailment in the production of wheat, that the next time a like condition arises, it might not be possible for the board to save the situation. American wheat would then be sold at the world market prices, which last week were as low

$142,780,000 SPENT BY UTILITIES for Expansion in Indiana The demand for electric and gas service in Indiana is increasing at an extraordinary rate. To keep pace with this demand public utility companies are constantly obliged to raise new capital for expansion. In 1930 companies in the group controlled by the Midland United Company have invested in this state approximately $23,000,000 in additions and other improvements to the facilities for serving their customers. During the eight-year period, starting in 1923 when the beginning was made in the formation of the group, a total of approximately $142,780,000 has been spent by the present subsidiaries for construction and expansion in Indiana. The question may be asked, “Why don’t the public utility companies finance such expansion out of surplus earnings, t as is done by so many of the industrial and commercial organizations?” The answer is found in the fact that all public utility companies are subject to control of some governmental regulatory body. In Indiana this control is effected through the Public Service Commission of the state. ' Under such regulation utility companies are permitted to charge rites for their services which will earn a fair rate of return, generally accepted as being not in excess of 8 per cent a year on such property as is used or useful in supplying the public service. A return at this rate is not guaranteed, however, and it requires diligent and intelligent operation to even approach such earnings. They therefore are not allowed to earn enough to pay for new construction out of current revenues. Due to this regulation and other characteristics peculiar to public utilities the rate of capital turnover is very low compared with other industries. The annual gross revenue of a public utility project rarely exceeds 20 per cent of its investment in its plant ‘and equipment, whereas in unregu- . lated industries the annual gross revenue may often equal 500% of the cost of the plant. This means that public utility companies must, in general, raise an additional five dollars of capital for each one dollar increase in their gross business. To obtain this capital from the investing public, utility companies are obliged to compete with all other businesses requiring capital at the same time. This is why an affiliation with a well-known investment or holding company is an asset to the operating company seeking capital. If the time for securing this money at a low cost is not opportune, the holding company advances the necessary funds until conditions are more favorable. Even in more favorable times the holding company is able, because of its sponsorship and because of its established financial reputation with the investing public, to help in securing borrowed capital at the lowest possible cost. (This is tht third of a stries of advertistmtnu disasssing the economics of the public utility business and reviewing how the public is benefited by holding company control.
