Individual Responsibility is Re-
sponsible For America's Growth
1
says Andrew W. Mellon
Secretnr> of tlu* l . S. Treasury
‘ It is a private initiative which is chiefly responsible for
America’s rapid growth in wealth. Whether we shall
continue torfrow and expand depends upon whether we
pursue an intelligent and constructive or a hostile and
destructive policy toward those forces which have bro’t
about our present development.”
Fifty years ago there was no elec-
tric light and power in America. Mo-
dern household conveniences, mod-
ern labor-saving and safety devices
were then unknown. Labor worked
from twelve to sixteen hours at
wages averaging less than one dollar
a day. The problems of life were
simpler in those days but they held
far less of material satisfaction for
the average man.
Large scale production at low cost
and the high earning capacity of
workers are the basic factors in
America’s present high standard of
living. But only through the elec-
trification of industry havt these
factors become so effective. With-
out electric light and automatical-
ly controlled motor power and elec-
tric heat, the industrial miracles of
today would be impossible.
Yet light, beat and power are in
themselves no explanation. Back of
the electrification of American in-
dustry is the impulse which has
made ail America great. Individual
initiative left free to work and
plan, and reap a just reward for
its enterprise, has Invented, perfec-
ted and produced our electric tools
of home and industry.
Individual initiative has furnished
the leadership, courage and skill
which have given us an electrical
service able to meet the demand of
more than a million new customers
each year. The efficiency of the
companies’ management and their
ability to earn a reasonable return
on an investment of more than eight
billions of dollars have been the
basis of the financial support the
public has given them, and are es-
sential for their continued growth.
There has never been any granting
of special privilege, no exploitation
in the natural growth of the electric
light and power companies. Engag-
ed in providing a public service
which has played a vital role in the
progress of American prosperity, in-
dividual initiative alone has been
and must always be the moving
force back of our electrical develop-
ment.
