TO THE PEOPLE
OF COOPER
Due t<> the attention over tihe re 1 j
1 ductlom in public utility rates I
submit an article which appeared
in t.he columns of The Times Her-
ald of Dallas last evening which
jpealcs for itself. It illustrates what
i staled in my last week’s article,
about the difficulty of forcing the
public utilities to lower their rates,
and tow the larger places hesitate
and your'’attention is specially di-
rected to, the^ statements cl W. S.
Bramlett, an attorney of Dallas,
wlio has’ led the flight for lower,
rates. I urge you to read this care-
fully and then draw your conclu- j
sions as to what chance a -il
town like Cooper would have in a
fight with them to force a reduc-
tion. Respectfully,

“CUT IN RATES EASY TO
TALK; HARD TO GET”
"Whether opponents of the ditv |
council, if elected April 4, could
make more headway than the
council has made toward reducing
die •’tility rates was considered.
(Wamatical in municipal circles
Monday. **,
During the Hast two weeks Home
Government association candidates,
■ofiaking from the sitump, have • |
abused the council for iits failure J
to lower rates and have promised
a rate reduction in return for J
votes. But to dlate they have not |
offered a constructive plan by i
wldfch they would attack, rate
structures.
“"And without a plan nobody
can reduce utility rates/ argued W.
S. Bramlet/t. local attorney, who
has led the fight for lower utility
rates. ‘It’s quite an easy thing to
lower rates on the political stump
but it’s more difficult to cut rates
at the city hall and the court-
house.’
“A few months ago, the council
opened negotiations with the Dal-
las Gas and Southwestern Bell
Telephone companies. The gas
company replied: ‘‘When the lone
Star Gas company outs the whole t
sale gate rate it charges us. we
might be in the mood to talk re-

WRITES HORROR
OF EARTHQUAKE
C. B. Merrill, formerly of Pecan
Gap but for several yea:s at Lub-
bock. sends the Courier an interest-
ing letter from Gus Parnell of San-
ta Anna, Cal., telling of the horrors
cf the recent earthquake. Interest-
ing parts of the letter follows:
“T will try to tell you of our
terrible experience with the earth
quake which began March 10 and
continued until March 17th. Gus
and I were washing dishes at 5:10
p. m. and the boys were out in the
yard, and the first thing we knew
the house began to rock side-ways,
up and down, in fact all ktndls of
ways, popping any cracking as if
coming to pieces. As soon as we
realized it wa.s an earthquake we
got into the yard, but by that time
the first shock was over. But it
was followed by one shock after
another, continually, until the 17th,
when !(■ began to let up. When we
got into the inrd Bill, the younger !
boy. was working on his car and
it began to jump in all directions
and he began to yell. ‘Whut is t.he
matter?.’ ’
“Seventeen families live on the
ranch close together and 15 of
them stayed up all night. We
stayey up all night.
“The court house in Santa Anna
is a total wreck. Two people were
killed without warning while watch-
ing the buildings falling.
“Oh, it was terrible to see the
tail buddings rocking, swaying and
falling. The trees were jumping UP
any down. Believe me it makes
one have queer feelings to have
the earth wobbling under our
feet.
Rota, Lee’s brother’s family left
for Texas the 13th. His wife lust
went to pieces. Gussie, my daugh-
ter, and daughter-in-law, Rosa Lee,
are almost a® bad.
“Santa Anna is 8 miles from us
and Long Beach 26 miles away.
Compton was hurt worst of all.
There were 141 lives lost and 4 000
hurt. None of us were hurt but
scored netarHv to death.
“Had the tremors come 2 hours
earlier thousands of children would
have been crushed, as there is no
school buildings left standing.

planting a pecan orchard and now
