Federal Judge M. J. Wade of Iowa
Peddlers of misinformation
are guilty of a grave wrong
against the community, says
Federal Judge M. J. Wade
. In handing down an opinion in a re
cent public utility, case, Federal Judge
Wade said:
i "Two-thirds of the difficulties in pub
lic utility matters arise out of a misun-
1 t 1 1 AB A
t oprstanriine nr mek or information
"There seems to be a determined ef-;
fort in every city where these problems
arise, on the part of some individual or
individuals, to carry on propaganda
which inspires doubt and suspicion
which destroys confidence in the officers
of the law wrho have duties to perform
in relation to such matters, and to con
vince the people that they are being
robbed in the interest of the 'corpora
tions "The people will be fair to public
service corporations if they only under
stand, AND THOSE WHO SPREAD
MISINFORMATION AND MISREP
RESENTATION ARE GUILTY OF A
GRAVE WRONG AGAINST. THE
COMMUNITY."
These remarks apply to Omaha
The United States supreme court and the Nebraska
state supreme court have decided unqualifiedly that in
arriving at a fair rate for public utility service the valu
ation and not capitalization is used as a basis.
In spite of this conclusive proof rumors have been
spread that we are seeking a return on so-called
"watered stock."
These rumors are absolutely false and without
foundation!
Our case is now before the city commission. We
have furnished them with our books and our records.
We have furnished them with expert testimony.
- With this before them it is their duty under the
settled law to arrive at a fair valuation of our property
and then permit us a fair return on this fair valuation.
That's all we ask a living wage!
Isnyt That Fair?
