John 3. 16. HOLDING COMPANIES the federal power commission's recent recommendation that strict federal regulation should be applied to public , utility holding companies is a move that has been expected for some time, and which is doubtless welcomed by the gen eral public. In the first place, the holding company itself has been losing prestige during the past year or two. The public benefits resulting from a holding company are often invisible to the naked eye, as we have learned through . painful experience since 1929. And as far as the industries : are concerned, they have found that holding companies fre quently become sources of weakness rather than strength. So there is not apt to be much concern over a measure which would bring them under the close supervision of Uncle Sam. Furthermore, the public utility holding company oc cupies a special position that makes federal supervision al (,rnost a necessity. A public utility operates under the instructions of a public "commission. It is the duty of this commission, first, to ' protect the consumer from exhorbitant rates, and, second, to .permit the utility itself to make a' fair return on its in-' vestment. And it is right here that the holding company ; nteps in. ' VjConsider, for instance, the case of a power company sup-; a plying electricity to a certain region by means of its great water power plant and system of distribution. This com-. Tpany," let us say, has a total valuation of $10,000,000, on ' which it is allowed an annual return of six per cent, or $600,000. So far, so good. -', Enter now the holding company, or a series of holding S companies. Subsidiary companies owned by the same parent : : company are called in to do construction work for the ori- j ". ginal concern, at unusually high prices. Presently the ori ginal company emerges from the juggling of figures with a '.valuation that has leaped from the original five million to $25,000,000. Now where does the public utilities commission get off in its effort to protect the public from unfair rates? It can "do nothing but permit a return of six per cent on the ?25, 000,000. And the public pays the bill. A few instances like that have brought the people to the place where they demand reform. So the power commis sion's recommendation ought to get speedy and favorable . consideration by congress in its next session. j NO SHORT CUTS TO SUCCESS 1 Lillian Gish, famous screen actress, recently made the : remark that it takes ten years of hard work to build up a large following and to make people demand a name or face ; in the films. She speaks from personal experience and from ' a knowledge of the experience of other screen folk. Here is a situation not limited alone to movie stars. Doc tors and lawyers frequently justify their fees by the years they spent in study and in building up a paying practice. It is not only in fiction and the movies that young artists starve j in attics. Henry Ford struggled along for years before Dame For tune favored him. And his experience has been that of the ; founders of most of the country's great industries. Successful merchants often attribute their business achievements to early years of struggle just one jump ahead j of the sheriff. Their businesses rest on solid foundations ' laid by years of hard work and extensive advertising. Stores ' and other business enterprises do not win public confidence i and widespread patronage by lottery. The larger rewards of screen stars, professional men and ' successful business men are vindicated by the years of self sacrificing toil expended in winning them. Part of their income is back-pay. Many individuals and business enterprises fail today be cause they are unwilling to pass through that formative period of hard knocks and hard work. The world was not built in a day, and great careers and monumental commer cial enterprises are not produced by the wave of a wand. TOUT OUR WAY :, ZO-OOiA! rr oed TcT7 !
