Press Comment Sound "Public Ownership" The public utilities of the United States present an Investment of more than $28,000,000,000. Of this, elec tric light and power companies ac count for 912,000,000,000 with the telephone and telegraph, street rail ways and gas companies standing at about $5,000,000,000 each. Such a sum, which is almost be yond the power of the human Imagi nation to encompass, can be, and has been, raised In but one way: Through the combined Investments, large and small, of millions of American citizens w,ao have bought utility se curities, believing them to be safe, sound and profitable. These Americans, found in all bus inesses, In all walks of life, are the "power trust." A very few of them, it Is safe to aay, are capitalists in the accepted sense of the term. Most of them undoubtedly have modest Incomes, many of them are laborers. They are the owners of the Ameri can electrio industry, one of our greatest nd most substantial em ployers and taxpayers, Industrial Re view, San Francisco. The conclave win tnd Saturday. Dr. W. J.
