t REASONABLE RETURN '
. The war between American cities and public utilities has
been a Jong one. The cities need the utilities, and because of
their need, have sometimes allowed the. utility companies to
trke advantage of them. The remedies proposed h?.vc been
many. ' One of the most favored ideas has been municipal
ownership, but where that has been tried it has almost in
variably failed. Human nature has not arrived at the point
where it can manage its affairs in that way, in spite of some
outstanding exceptions.
Thq city of- Cleveland, which is now having a battle with
its gas company, ha? a manager who has for years been
v.orking along the line of what he calls the "principle of the
fair return." Long before he was made city manager, he was
urging .this principle, and his idea had a share in the formula
tion of the "Tliylor grant" by which Cleveland and its trac
tion companies camo to agreement in 1010. This grant pro
vides that there b an interest fund which shall at all limes
contain enough Hrr.ty to guarantee to stockholders six per
cent on their in tments. Wh .n business is so good that the
fund is more th .n filled, fares Kn down. When the interest
fund is threatui.fd. lares automatically go up to fill it, and
automatically defend again. The grant has worked, satis
factorily on the whole, for many years. This idea the pres
ent manager wants applied to the gas company.
; Utilities need satisfied stockholders, which means assured
dividends. The energy and foresight which establish the
utilities call for adequate reward. Hut no public utility com
pany has a right to make a financial plaything of the file's
need, nor has it a right to unreasonable profit at the people's
expense.
The utility company desenes and should have a fair, even
a generous return on its investment. Proper upkeep and ex
pansion of the business must !o allowed for. Then the public,
in turn, deserves and should have adequate sen-ice with'
rates as low as can be consistent with this sen-ice. This should
be possible anywhere with reasonable co-operation and intel
ligent handling of a problem. That's the only policy that pays
cither side.

C'ASHIONABLE women instinctively,
recognize beauty, whether it be in
automobiles or wearables. The prefer
ence such women have shown for Red
Cross shoes is a tribute to the three .
particularly v.e'l recognized qualities
these shoes bear poise, j?race; and
l?eauty. Graceful lines, voguish details
and fitting qualities that have made
these shoes famous nationally are a few
of the points that identify them as style
leaders. ' r .

locality with their snug-fitting heels
