What Constitutes ‘‘Used

To Be Major Issue
ATLANTA—(#)—Just what con
gltitutes ‘“used and useful” prop
erty promised to be one of the ma
jor issues in the investigation of
power rates in Georgia as the pub
lic service commission prepared
Saturday for hearings opening
‘Tuesday.
' The value of such “used and
useful” property is the primary
element in utility rate cases, com
missioners said.
None of the commissioners would
discuss the power case publicly in
advance of the hearings but some
members of the group, particularly
chairman Jud P. Wilhoit, inquired
repeatedly into the “usefulness” of
certain properties in telephone ra,tel
hearings just finished. '
John T. Georee, assistant attor

commission in its rate investiga

general plans of procedure but saic
in answer to questions that he
would devote some attention to the
question whether certain power

COTTON PRODUCERS
GET §770.000.000
Farm Administration Says
That Much Paid for This
Year's Cotton Crop
WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Farm
administration experts, preparing
for the 1934 cotton acreage cam
paign, have compiled estimates
showing the several admimstrati&l
efforts to improve cotton prices
will result in approximately $770,-
000,000 being paid growers for this
year's crop, |
This is $358,000,000 more than
the $412500,000 wnich the admin
istration estimates would have
been paid for a prosective 16,600,-
000 bale crop if the goverament
had not gone to the aid of dis
tressed growers.
The prospective crop was reduc
ed by more than 4,000,000 bales by
last summer’s plow-up campaign.
The estimate, disclosed Saturday,
showed the administration figured
the huge crop in prospect before
the plow-up would have brought
an average of five cents a- pound.
In view of developments which
have taken place since then, ,the
average price for the artificially
reduced crop was figured at ten
cents a pound.
This estimate, in itself, would
mean a return of $612,500,000 on
the estimated crop "of 12,250,000
which is. in sight for this year.
Cotton Options
In addition to this sum, the ad
‘minstration figures farmers who
were given options on cotton at
the time of the plow-up on the
basis of six cents a pound will
profit by about $48,000,000 when
‘they exercise their options with
cotton at ten cents a pound,
For the plow-ups, farmers, in
addition to the options, are being
paid approximately $110,000,000 in
adjusted benefits. This sum covs
ers rental paid for the lands the
farmers turned under.
As the government has arranged
for loans of ten cents a pound on
middling cotton to farmers who
need money now, the administra
tion feels safe in figuring the crop

Failure of the debtor nations to
meet their payments last June 15
has apparently convinced _the
President that there is no need for
entering new agreements, at least
until congress meets.
There is no doubt here that the
whole debts issue will be postpon

After the President determines
