The fedetal trade commission hearinjr in WashiiiKltm mi the so-called "power trust" bioujiht out testimony yesterday ! on the ways and means employed by the lijrht and power com-1 panics of Orcfi-on lo brinjr about the defeat of the "1 louse-j wives Pill" two years iijro. That measure, initiated by the Housewives Council, sought to put the state in the power! business throujjh a )g bond issue and a sell'-naitied board i with almost unlimited authority. It was defeated by a bio; vote, as everyone remembers. i Quite naturally the liuht and power companies of the; state foiiojit this bill.i The testimony jviven the commission merely provided the details of a very obvious and oenerally ' i-ecojfnizcd circumstance. No one thought for a minute that I the utilities didn't l'inlit this public ownership legislation.! Kveryone would have thought the light and power companies' crazy if they hadn't fought it. If someone should sponsor a bill to put the stale or thej nation in the railroad business mul promote public owner-1 ship of transportation lines, does anyone think for an in-; stant that the railroad companies wouldn't fight the move ment? If someone initiated a bill to put the state of Oregon; in the retail grocery business and locate state owned and, operated stories in various communities, does anyone think the retail grocers would sit idly by and offer no argument; against the scheme '.' Or if someone decided that lower milk: prices were desirable and initiated a measure to set up state ! owned dairy farms in each county, does anyone think that j the farmers who now own dairy herds would smile pleasantly! and give aid and comfort to the proposal? j The utility companies did just exactly what all corpora-1 lions and all individuals would do under similar circumstances; they opposed the thing which seemed to threaten their' investment ami their income. They organized exactly as the railroads or giocers or farmers Would do if similarly threat-! tiled. They bought advertising space in w hich to present i their arguments against the state ownership idea. They sent ; out publicity material lo discredit the measure, experienced publicity and advertising men to best possible arguments against the bill. YVJiat could be more natural or businesslike? expect dil'feieiit tactics than this on the part such an emergency'.' In the hearing thus far the federal trade commission has learned nothing unusual as far as Oregon is concerned anil nothing but the details of a very matter-of-fact pro cedure. No one was bribed, no one was ihi'i.iud. d. no votes were purchased. The Housewives Pill was beaten in a fair, energetic campaign. We can only hope a similar fate tVi the Dunne bills, the fishing bills, etc., which appeal' on the ballot for the coming election. lion, v-c I'olalo. so inir I 'aisle) I., M il ealilia.
