Most Attractive '“Electrié 'Ra tes .Yet Devisea

fl" Corporation is the big idea back of the new electric rates. ‘

Fr Each consumer pays his just share, and, in being fair ‘to his
neighbor, he is also benefiting him aelf. In sound economics you
can't get something for nothing. The new electric rates are sound.
After a trial of six weeks, they are pronounced fair and equitable—
yes. and highly advantageous-by those consumers who hove learna
ed to know them.

F Under the rate formerly charged. if the consumer used no
electricity he paid only 50 cents a month. Beyond that minimun
he paid only for the number of kil owatt hours used. But—

F“ The cost of serving him—w hich amounted to more than 50
(cents a month—went on whether he used the service or not. So others,
who used the service, had to Day fgr his convenience. That wasn't
'fair. Few persons would wish to t ~er such anadvsntsge if they un-
derstood. Right thinking people wish to pay their own way.

" After long, careful study of rate methods, we adopted the
”Service—Charge" plan. We put i’“. into effect in this territory Jan—
ary l. l920. Mostconsumers tool- to it readily. A considerable
percentage found that they would Dav less than before-awhm they

were helping to carry the non-oro’itnble consumers. Some few ob-

‘iected to the rate. A few still thin": the old way was better.

I" For the benefit of those who are still in am about the
advantages of the new plan, we will again explain its features.
