REGULATION
and Low
Electric Rates
The rates at which you receive electric service from
our company are closely regulated by governmen
tal authorities.
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

Doesn't it stand to reason that your present system
offers you the best guarantee of low electric rates?

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.

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.
