J Ji MRS. v t$& f GEORGE Rachmaninoff's Playing,' a Language- "It is not so much the playing of the piano that Rachmaninoff does, it is a language. He boniehuw succeeds in making a cuinposer as intimate and as intelligible as one of your friends." This comment by Kathciin Spaeth, appeared in the New York Evening Mail last Wednesday. She said further: "Last night in Carnegie hall the Russian composer-virtuoso con ductor, gave a program that included the Debussy "Children's Corner," Chopin, Schumann's 'I'apillions,' and his own compositions. But what he actually played is not so important as the universal spirit that radiates and glmities every sound that he draws from black and wh'te keys. "Rachmaninoff is that supreme person of the pianoforte atv. intel lectual giant and a creator of dreams. He never overwhelms you with his technical brilliance; he does not seek to dazzle. He speaks through Chopin or Beethoven or Schumann as one Jiaving-authority, and not as the scribes." Rachmaninoff will appear in Oma ha at the Brandeis theater, Thurs day, February 3, under auspices of the Tuesday Musical club.

This is not true. We are seeking ONLY A FAIR RETURN ON THE FAIR VALUE OF OUR PROPERTY. Nothing could be more fair! Those hoping to confuse you are well aware that both the Nebraska supreme court and the United States supreme court have decided that in arriving at a fair rate only valuation and not capitalization is the basis. . Even if we were capitalize for one hundred billion dol lars, and our valuation were the same as now, still our request to the city commissioners would be no different. t i The city commissioners know that "capi talization," has no relation to rates. So, when we made application for a rate hearing-before the city commission, we fur nished them with figures showing the actual cost of our property and how much it is now worth. , The City commissioners now are to de cide what is a fair return on a fair valuation of our property. They have our figures; they have our books; we have furnished' expert testimony; they have the help of experts. All of this is to aid them in arriving at a fair return on the fair value of the properties we have been required to construct to supply your needs in home and business. They are concerned over nothing else. Capitalization, has nothing to do with the issue involved in the deciding of a fair rate. We hope that you bear this in mind when someone, by playing on words, attempts to confuse and prejudice you against us. Not a Cent on "Watered Stock" The statement was made that wre are attempting to obtain a return on "watered stock." We want (o say right here and now and with much emphasis that we are not seeking one cent on "watered stock." WE HAVE NEVER ASKED THE CITY COMMISSION TO GRANT US ONE CENT RETURN ON "WATERED STOCK." As you are well aware "watered stock" and "6ver-capitalization" are the pet terms used by the professional public agitator in attacking bfg institutions for his own per sonal gain. Don't let anyone confuse you with the terms "watered stock" and "over-capitali- Nation" when discussing any kind of rates. Tell them the United States supreme court has decided that rates are not based on "capitalization," "watered stock" or any thing else except VALUATION. We are not asking for any more than we justly deserve. WE ASK ONLY FOR A FAIR RE TURN ON A FAIR VALUATION OF OUR PROPERTY. We hope that this is clear. We hope that te are understood when we say that we don't want one cent on "watered stock." Our plea to the city commission is a fair wage on the honest value of our property. Isn't That Fair?
