Turn On the Light.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The farmer, the purchaser of
electric current, and the housewife
all need protection.
The farmer wants to know wheth-
er the Federal funds- backing the
Farm Board are to be spent for his
relief or to swell the dividends of
corporations dealing in agricultural
products.
The buyer of electric current has
a similar question to ask of the
Federal Power Commission.
And the housewife has just hada
narrow escape from a hold-up by
the sugar interests.
The Federal Farm Board contem-
plates purchase of an issue of bonds
of the Sun-Maid Raisin Association.
Last summer these securities sold in
the 30s. Recently they rocketed
up to 80, after the Farm Board had
announced a credit of $9,000,000 to
the association. Now the board is
ready to take up the whole issue
at 90.
A writer in The New Republic
pertinently asks, “Is this farm re-
lief or bank relief?”
Between the credit grant and the:
bond issue, the amount at stake is
nearly $15,000,000.
A competitive bidder for a promis-
ing power site in the Flathead In-
dian Reservation in Montana,
favoring sale of the site to the
Montana Power Company, announc-
Indians !
ed that he could pay the
more for the site—and sell the de-
veloped current at lower rates than
those of the Montana Power Com-
pany.
It
Commission accountant, investiga-
ting, discovered that on every dol-
lar paid the company by users of
current 63 cents went for dividends
and capital charges.
Muscle Shoals and Boulder Dam
are outstanding instances of the
conflict between the corporations
and the consumers, Under Coolidge
and Hoover, the net result thus far
has not been in favor of the gen-
eral public.
One single beet sugar concern in
the West would have stood to gain
millions of dollars had the increase
in the sugar tariff gone through.
And this company, the Great West-
ern Sugar Company of Colorado, has
thrived sufficiently under existing
conditions to have added to its plant
and property and to have handed out
in dividends $90,000,000 on an origi-
nal investment of $15,000,000.
Western beet sugar growers are
under attack for their use of cheap
labor, principally from Mexico. Ex-
ploited labor to maintain an industry
devoted to exploitation of the Amer-
ican household.
The housewife is now paying 1 3-4
cents a pound tax on sugar. If the
Senate vote against the increase to
RICHELIE
find-
ing the Federal Power Commission |
is reported that the Power
ree
more than two cents a pound is dup-
licated by the House, the public will
have escaped an additional burden
of many millions a year on its sugar.
Does the United States Govern-
ment stand on the side of the corpor-
ation or the consumer? re
Does it support reasonable service
to the consumer, or does it bestow
its sympathy upon and use its au-
thority for the clipper of coupons?
Almost every household in the
country uses raisins and sugar and
electric current.
A mighty small percentage of
American households draw down div-
idends on the stocks of power and
sugar companies.
Are we enjoying government of
the people by themselves and for
themselves—or by the industrialists
and masters of high finance for the
stock owner and the coupon clipper?
Let the people look for liberals
when they elect Congressmen this
year and a President in 1932—men
| who will fight the people's battles.
