MEMORIES
Valdez, Nov. 19, 1913.
We were sitting in our office,
Charlie, another girl and I, smoking
a last pipe. I blew some beautiful
rings that floated and floated clear
across the room and rung the door
knob.
There was another liar in the room
who said he could blow ’em so they
would ring the door bell; but Charlie
piped up and said he once blew a
ring and a beautiful young lady put
her finger through it. That blow cost
Charlie a lot of money. Good old
Charlie.
For heaven’s sake, you’ll say, what
are you getting at?
Well, brothers, it’s just this: My
particular job with this company is
smoking up and endeavoring to ring
interest and orders for more Juice;
and, it's no cinch, some people are n’t
easily rung up.
But going back to the question of
light and its cost. That is a prob
lem that Central Stations all over the
country have wrestled with for years
and are still doing so.
A prize of fifteen hundred dollars
was offered a short time back for the
best solution of the rate problem by
the Central Station Development Co.,
of Cleveland, Ohio. The cost of light
becomes a problem with a business
like solution, instead of an arbitrary,
indefinite and unknown quantity.
Now, handsome readers, if it is a
problem in settled communities, what
must it be in a small town where
people are on the move all the time?
We run wires a block to furnish one
light and then have that one light
cut out in three weeks. The returns
on that business won’t buy many
Christmas presents. But, leaving the
above cabin business out of the ques
tion, we call your attention to the
new light rate that appeared in the
Prospector of November 12th. In that
you will note that once more the
smalt consumer carries the burden of
taxation. He is made to pay ten
cents, while his more fortunate broth
er only pays five cents per kilowatt
hour.
And all Public Service Commis
sions throughout the country say:
"There is absolutely no excuse for
charging one consumer more than an
other."
