KILOWATTS INSTEAD OF CANDLES
The private electric utilities pioneered rural and agricultural
electrification. And the private utilities are the leaders in present
drives whose purpose is to eventually provide service to all the
farms and rural communities in the entire United States.
Surveys made by the Edison Electric Institute indicated that
during the three year period, 1946-48, a total of 1,240,000 new
farm customers will be added to the lines. Thus, at. the end of
1948, if the utilities and other agencies involved are able to obtain
the needed materials, at least 5,000,000 farms will be connected
or have service readily available. Then less than 500,000 scat
tered farms will be without service, and many of these will have
the opportunity of being served with electricity before many
years more pass.
This is a record of which the country can be proud. Especially
here in Georgia. More power on the farm means less work, h:gh
er productivity, and a greater economic return for the farm
family. And we should never forget that the big part of the job
has been and is being done by private, regulated, heavily-taxed
businesses.
We call attention to these things at this time because of the
controversy concerning the building of Clark’s Hill Dam on the
Savannah River. The Georgia Power Company, a private electric
company, is trying to get the government to let them build this
dam instead of the government doing it. The Georgia Power
Company has one of the lowest rates for electricity of any com
pany in the United States. The oeople cannot hope to get a lower
rate even if the government does build this dam. The Georgia
Power Company is one of Georgia’s biggest taxpayers. They are
a credit to any community or locality that they serve. They are
continually fostering and promoting worthwhile things for the
people where they serve. If they are allowed to build this d m
they will pay an additional large sum of taxes to the State and
counties in which these improvements will be made. If the gov
ernment builds it the taxpayers will have to foot the bill for the
construction. They will not collect any taxes. It will be tax-free.
We say let “Georgia’s L ading citizen” do the job.
o
LOCAL MERCHANTS AND OPA
Almost daily, the OPA is issuing orders permitting price in
creases, and the uFvuhl/dl board is gradually freeing various
commodities from control. Just where does your merchant enter
into this chaotic price picture?
In the first piece, don’t blame the stroekeeper for higher
prices. He must pay the going level of wholesale prices, add the
cost of doing business plus a little profit, and sell to you for the
total. Neither chains nor independents have any control over
prices at the source.
What the merchant can do is to minimize increases at his
level. He can do that by reducing waste, by increasing tfficiency,
and by holding the margin between what he pays and what he
charges, at the lowest possible point. And that is precisely what
progressive merchants are and have been doing. A very, very
small part of the dollar you spend stays with them the bu'k of
it goes for buying goods and paying the overhead.
Today’s prices are simply the reflection of today’s conditions.
The typical store is serving you to the best of its ability, and at
minimum cost. But it can’t hold prices down when everything
costs more. It can’t stock an abundance of goods when produc
tion is lagging. It can’t, in short, do the impossible.
The wise man never runs away
from facts and is not afraid of
discovering the truth.
