CHARI-OTTE, N. C. Vic l-resldent am) Thief Engineer South ern I'ower Co.. Writing In PUBLIC HHHVK-K, IniwI by the North and South Carolina 1'ubllc Utility Bureau. Through public addresses and nation-wide correspondence, Governor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, endeavor ing to establish a fearsome distinc tion between "super-power" as it is being developed by the electric light and power industry and "giant-power" a plan of his own making. "Giant-power" as interpreted by the Pennsylvanian, is the development of more electric energy, utilizing the country's water resources together with the establishment of plants at the mouth of the coal mines; the re duction of costs to the small consum ers; extensions of service to village and farm; economic conaohdations with resultant reductions of over heads; and the regulation by the public of the nation-wide monopoly to be created. "Super-power," as I see it, is the development of the industry alotti; just the lilies indicated by Governor Pinchot with one important exception. There s no nation-wide monopoly. "Super power" does not contemplate consolidations or combinations which destroy the individual or fiscal identi ties of separate rompan es; it goes no further than physical interconnec tions designed to insure more stable and regular service. Officials of the power industry will agree with Gover nor Pinchot that theirs is a natural monopoly but not of nation-wide scope. It is more or less a local monopoi), tt, tnr,. of the business making it so in the interests, of service and economy. Already In Process Sifted to a final analysis the pro visions of "giant-power" are nothing more nor less than "super-power" as it is already being worked out by the industry itself. The aim of "super-power" is the most effective and economic produc tion and distribution of electricity, the conservation of water-power and coal and the extension of service to the largest number of people possible at the lowest rate possible. In our own Southeastern States and the Paeifa. Coast States the ideals of "super power" have already been largely realised, while the inter-connection of independent power systems continue in various other sections of the coun try. The fact that this development in the-power industry is being worked out to the distinct advantage of the consumer is attested by the fact that the cost of electricity has sUadily .wlim.i! in the face of increasing cost of other items that enter into the cost of living. The cost of electricity in 11124 was 8.6 percent lower than before the World War, it being about the only item in the family budget that has declined, whereas the other items show .ncrc-ases that average around 83 percent. ' -a. As to the production of more elec tricity, it is patent, in my opinion, that the industry is growing as rap idly as .s possible under any "scheme" and as rapidly as the engineering and financial proi ieins involved in the de vtlopment warrant. Service was ex tended iiy the indu-.:-y last year to 1 ,".00,000 new customers, while the total output of the industry was ap proximately 5-l,000,b00,00O kilowatt hours of energy.

In no uiu 11 t:.n. terms that he does not favor government ownership or government operatirn of the power industry but that he elands for mora effb lent regulation nod control. It Is In teresting In the connection to note a re cent declaration of Secretary of Com merce Herbert Hoover that an exhaus tive Investigation 'iy hh. department Into the extent and effectiveness of the regulation nof utilities by the state com missions showed thte regulation to be "surprisingly effective." Mr. Hoover, In cidentally. Strongly advocated the con tlnuanee of state regulation a opposed to Federal regulation in his address to the National Bleetrle Light Convention at San Francisco, t Owned By the People One phase of the development of "super-power" that has an Important bearing upon regulation is found in the wide distribution of the ownership of the power Industry- The securities of the cores and scores of power and llfht companies are held by more than !, 500,000 "Just every-day" persons throughout U country. Millions of other Individuals are Indirectly Interested through the power securities held by banks, trust companies, and life Insurance companies. All of which means that. In addition to the regulation of the Industry by state com missions, the people oi the country them selves have a larg voice In Its manage ment. . It appears that, after all, Governor frnchot has seised upon a mowmeat that Is all eady under way, a development that tread y Is hi progress and, -glvlne? R aj new name, would present It to the pubtts as something new and - saroetbeog alts gather desirable. k if:.MiX''i.ni'- - j" '-I"1.:- 'f-'t'J -r'-'t'filr.i'ir mstfi'1 jgaBUsUssjis)jBi
