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.

; UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
Valuation
4
"is tike
issue
Courts Have Decided Valuation
Is the Basis in Making Rates
It has been stated by those wishing to confuse and prejudice your mind against us that we are
seeking a return on our "capitalization." 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?
