Under public regulation, you have received nine reductions in rates in the last ten years. Contrast that with the situation on rates under PUD control. Not only do the PUD commissioners escape ALL public regulation of rates— but the O regon PUD la w specifically REQUIRES a PUD to charge its customers rates HIGH E N O U G H to meet certain obligations, such as payment of bond interest and other d e b t etc. Doesn't it stand to reason that your present system offers you the best guarantee of low electric rates?

K R O PP A N D SONS Phone 85 Ontario, Oregon Dr. G. W . Graves Optometrist Eyes Examined 706 Arthur St. idea that a square jaw is the sign of will power. That winters aren’t as severe as they used to be, or that red hair denotes quick temper. But there are other wrong ideas, which are definitely harmful to public confidence in and understanding o f industry. One such idea is the current "guessing” about profits made by large busi ness organizations. Many people are apt to grossly exaggerate the money made by business. So Opinion Research Corporation (an independent organization) made a survey to learn just what the public thinks about profits. Compare these guesses and yours with the Inter national Harvester profit figures given below. In this survey, the average of the guesses by the public of the war time profits made by industry was . . . thirty per cent (30%). But in the four war years of 1912, 1943, 1944, and 1945, the profita of International Harvester Company averaged only . .. 4.9% on sales. Less than one tixth of :ohai the general public " guested” for all industry. For this period, the year by yenr per cent of profits on sales was: 1942— 7.34, 1943— 6.59, 1944 — 3.95, 1945— 3.93.

W Kingman Kolony Kingman Grange held meetings open to the public at which time a representative of the Idaho Pow er company was present and spoke on the subject of electric power A lengthy discussion followed, after which a short progrtyn consisting of reading and musical numbers was given. Refreshment o f sand wiches, cookies and coffee were served by the H. E. club ladles. Mr. and Mrs. Alva Ooodell and Mr. \ and Mrs Adams of Oregon Trail Orange were among the visitors C liff and May Beaumont were Sunday diner guests in the C. C. Cotton home near Nyssa.

In the absence of the president and vice president. Threlma Elliott, presided. A short program of read ings, songs, and plays was given, by the grade school pupils. Mrs. Borge gave an interesting talk on the pre-school child. Mrs. Guy I Glenn reported on the clinics held 1 in the school this year by the 'county doctor and nurse. Mrs. Judd installed the new officers as fol lows: Mrs. Looney, president; Mrs. j Stanley Hill, vice president, Mrs. ! William Toomb, secretary, and Mrs. I Lynn Hurst, treasure. ! Mrs. Arthur Case came home over the week-end after taking treat ments in Boise for a few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Lane and Myrna shopped in Ontario and Nyssa Friday. A cow tester has been testint a number of dairy herds in the rate of profit in normal times. Many large businesses, including ourselves, would consider it a banner year if we could reach this figure. Our average profit for the last ten years—four war and six peace— was 6.43% — more than a third less than what the public considers fair. AU these figures show that our profits are not high. Aa a matter of fact, the entire farm machinery industry is a low profit industry. In 1944, the Federal Trade Com mission published a list of 76 in dustries ranked in order of their ratio of profits to salsa. The farm machinery industry was 57th on the list. Whst About Currant I N Priest? When the War ended and wo planned our peace-time produc tion, we had hoped to he able to serve our farmer customers at the same level which has held since 1942, regard lees of war-time in creases in coots of wages and ma- nwnvni toriais up to that time. But ré cent developments hâve forced a change in our plans. Caldwell, Idaho Wages and materials consume nearly all of every dollar Har vester takes in from sales. A Gov ernment board has recommended and the Company has agreed to pay a general wage increase of 18 cents per hour for Harvester fac tory employees. The Government has also allowed price increases on raw materials which we pur chase in lsrge quantities. Steel has had an average increase of 82% . There has been no general in crease in our prices since they were frozen by the Government early in 1942. So our situation today ia that what we B U Y costs us 1946 prices. We '-ill be paying average hourly wages 56% above 1941. For what we S E L L we get only 1942 prices. This condition cannot long be met out of our present low rate of profit. I stars Pries* os I N Product* It ia plain that price relief will be needed to meet the increased wage and material costs which we must carry. We regret this necessity. We prefer to lower prices, when pos sible, rather than raise them and we know our customers prefer to have us do that. We had hoped to be able to "hold the line,” at least. But we do not see how we can avoid operating at a loss if our prices continue to remain at their present frozen levels. We will N O T "cut corners” on any of our products, because Q U A L IT Y IS T H E F O U N D A T IO N OF O U R BUSINESS. Our customers can be certain that we will seek no more than a moderate profit, both because of our policies and because we have approximately 300 competitors fighting us vigorously for your business Our request for price relief will be no more than ia nec essary to insure continued service to our customers, continued work for our employees, and a reason able return for our stockholders.
