Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Nothing Reads Like Atlanta THIS EDITORIAL IS TAKEN FROM THE JANUARY 26TH ISSUE OF ENGINEERING AND CONTRACTING, A MAGAZINE PUB- . LISHED IN CHICAGO. “A charge persisted in without knowledge c 4 facts is nothing short of slander. We may safely broaden this gen eralization to read: Persistent statements not based on in vestigation of facts are tantamount to deliberate falsifica tion. “We concede that the average man is as yet very care less in his assertions, and that he sees nothing reprehensible in being wrong. But when being wrong in an assertion works injury to someone, the asserter is morally but little above a common liar. “During the past few years when public utility owners and managers have been begging the public for relief from excessively low rates for services rendered, there have been numberless printed assertions by public officials to the effect that existing rates were his"h enough to yield a fair return upon actual investments. Even where appraisals by reputable engineers and audits by accountants have belied such assertions, rarelv have the asserters had the honesty to investigate the facts. Instead, their unusual practice has been to ignore all evidence and persist in their unprovable statements. “To such a pass has this form of immorality brought things that several state legislatures are to be asked to rescind laws relating to state regulation of public utility rates. When mayors and other public officials persist in telling the public that street railways can profitably carry passengers at 5 and 6 cents, is it any wonder that many people have come to regard state utility commissions as being the tools of utility companies? “In one state the governor has ousted all the utility com missioners, because they incurred the ill will of certain people on account of rate increases granted to public utili ties. In another state one of the most fearless and capable utility commissioners has resigned, apparently disgusted with the charges made not merely by some mayors but by some newspapers that the commission has done nothing but raise utility rates unnecessarily. If the engineering societies in such states were a few years in advance of their present development, probably the public would receive au thoritative expressions of engineering opinion that would contradict and perhaps silence the false statements of dema gogic mayors. The time is certainly overripe for protests from associations of professional and business men against the baseless assertions and the selfish acts of politicians who are pandering to the worst side of human nature. The public would like to ride on street cars for a nickel. They would like better to ride for nothing. Hence the public is not only willing to be convinced, but is half convinced be fore any one has spoken that the ‘predatory railway kings’ are robbing them. The silence of men who know better—- engineers, business men and editors—is taken as evidence that the statements of the pandering politicians are true. “It will not do to excuse ourselves from the dut -of speaking and acting now. We have ‘passed the buck’ tc’iea without number, until a few more passings will find us all riding in the street cars as slowly and expensively operated as the elevators in the typical city hall. America is face to face with municipal ownership of street car systems, of gas and electric plants. Steadily and with unrelenting pressure, the economic life of public utility companies is being squeezed out. State cbmmissions and courts are trying to be just, but an ignorant public is constantly threatening them and doing all that it can to block their efforts. The ignorance of the public is mainly ascribable to the silence, of the men who are most competent to speak not only with authority but with freedom from selfish motives—the pro fessional engineers. “Whether there is to be municipal ownership of all utili ties or not, professional engineers will be employed. Many engineers think that their chances of securing adequate compensation are better under public than under private administration. At all events there is so little to choose in that, respect, that engineers as a body cannot be charged with selfish motives in advocating fair rates for public utility corporation services and fair treatment of public util ity commissions. “Apropos of the unsound attitude of most munici; \ offi cials relative to public utility rates, we quote from a ecent address before the League of California Municipalities by W. E. Creed, president of the Pacific Gas and Electric Cos.: “ ‘On the habit of jumping at conclusions without knowl edge of the facts, I cite the official procedure when an application for increased rates is filed. “ ‘The city council mrts. It forthwith passes a resolu tion and instructs the city attorney to oppose the applica tion. The city attorney issues his public pronouncement, duly accompanied by photographs, saying: “I will fight to the last ditch,” as he raises his eyes to heaven and prays to God to give him strength that justice may triumph and right prevail. “ ‘Never in all my experience, and I have been in the public utility business a good many years as a lawyer and as an executive, never in all my experience have I ever heard of, read, or seen a resolution by a city council direct ing a city attorney to investigate the facts and to reason from those facts to a sound conclusion in the public inter est. Apparently some public officials are not concerned about the facts, but are stalwart nevertheless in their con clusions. “ ‘A rate inquiry ought not to be an adversary proceed ing, but should be a mutual and co-operative investigation of the facts, proceeding upon the theory that either too high or too low a rate is an injury both to the utility and to the public’.” Pastors Meet in Weekly Conference Monday The Barrow county preachers met in weekly conference Monday.
