A QUESTION THAT WILL CJO UNANSWERED
IVfany responsible voices are questioning the Federal gov
ernment's venture jnto the electric business through con
struction of great hydro-electric plants. One of the most
interesting and practical objections to the program recently
came front George J. Leahy, chairman of the National Job
Saving and Investment Protection Bureau for the Coal in
dustry. According to Leahy,' six major hydro projects, for
which appropriations have been made or are likely to be made
in the future, involve an initial cost of about $786,000,000
for an installed capacity of 5,528,400 kilowatts. This is .an
average Cost of slightly over $135 per kilowatt. .'
Coal burning generating plants can be built, Leahy de
clares, for between $70 and $81 per kilowatt of capacity. At
an average of $75 per kilowatt, the same amioiirit of gen
erating capacity as the Federal government is getting could
be had for $414,000,000 forty per cent less. And in the
words of Leahy, "Aside from being more economical from
the standpoint of both construction costs and actual operat
ing costs, steam-powered generating stations are more de
sirable socially than hydro plants. The former provide much
permanent employment, not only in the generating stations,
. but in other industries such as the coal, railroad and equip
ment businesses. Iiydro-electric plants, on the dther hand,
iire definite destroyers of labor once they are in operation."
. Leahy has raised a question that will require some ex
plaining as to why the government (all the people) should
p'rovide hundreds of millions of dollars to build duplicate
electric plants the country doesn't need, which Will provide
less employment than they destroy, whose costs,, are ques
tionable, and which will menace existing private electric in
vestments totaling a billion or more.
AMI NHHO rllllPl.KII " ' "
A president needs n vacation and relaxation from the arduous duties of
his office, but Komeliow. with tho entire Pacific const threatened with tleup
from an Impending general strike the parcllel to Nero's fiddling whllo
Rome burned comes to mind ns one rends In the press dispatches that
President Roosevelt Is enjoying fishing in the near troplcnl Pacific waters.
Thq strike situation In, San Francisco and othur Pacific coast ports should
-lQ"K 'hko hwe hud mote,, sympathetic and posltlvo attention from the na
tional adllllnlstrntion. If the thing Is permitted to run Its course, with
no more assistance than has been given to date, the consequence of this
Insurrection may be altogether too widespread for comfort.
The president hns'nsmcd a board to attompt to Iron out the troubles
between tho. employers and the strikes. It Is true, but tho fldl authority
of the national government has. not yet been felt in this strike. Already
matters have gone too far, ninny believe, to nvold protracted consequences.
It Is not alone the monetary losses that concern the public. There Is a
real threat to the established form of government In permitting this general
strike to progress.
Communists have muscled lnto'the situation which Is decidedly to their
liking. News reports are that members of this group have been converging
on the San Frnnelseo bay region In large numbers. Other reports have lately
disclosed alleged plans of the Communists to foment trouble all through
California.
The president can fish and sail the tropical waters If he wishes, but
tho radiogram which Is at his elbow could well be used to throw n little
more authority, Irom the side of tho government, Into the solution and
settlement of this difficulty. The people or the Pacific states look to him
lo have to get into this liiu-as eventually. As the flour slogan rends, "Why
not now?" Wnlls Walla Union. Htillelln. . ...
