A Neighbor s Warnin AGAINST Power Districts Amendment "You can't get something for nothing" tfAn Impossible Promise" Says a leading Seattle lewspaper in referring to current propaganda for so-called "public owner ship" and to the promise of many a candidate now seeking political office. It gives this warning to the people of Oregon: seJjlS program restates the promise that has been made in many other campaigns and in many parts of the country. He promises a vast public power and electrical development 'without cost to the taxpay ers.' "This is a promise that has never yet been fulfilled. Wherever the people have been beguiled into permitting the experiment it has proved a failure and a disappoint ment, and has imposed heavy additional burdens upon the taxpayers. It is a promise that only the fanatical few nowadays venture to voice anywhere within hailing distance of a city or a section wherein the experiment has been tried. "Nothing of the kind can be done without cost to the taxpayers. Bonds may be sold and debt incurred to get such a development under way, and for a time every thing may seem to be moving serenely. But the day of reckoning comes around and the sad results are app&- VOTE 325 X NO ent both in the evidences of waste and mismanagement, and still more palpably in the recurrent upward leaps and bounds of the general tax rate. "The people of Oregon have only to cast their eyes in the direction of Seattle and Tacoma to learn much on this score; they have only to cock their ears to catch the loud complaint that rises against these two cities from all the rest of the State of Washington. Seattle and Tacoma launched heavily upon power development schemes to be perfected Vithout cost to the taxpayers.' The tax rate in Tacoma has gone up to 81 mills, the Tax Rates 1 929 Tacoma, 81.89 mills, Seattle, 76.85 mills. Portland, 48.60 mills. Whole State Suffers Tax Losses "Existing publicly owned utilities of King and Pierce counties have in creased taxes in every other city and community in the State of Washington." Taxpayers' Econ omy League of Spokane. . highest in the whole Northwest, and the Seattle rate of ?6.85 mills claims second place. "Both Seattle and Tacoma have stripped the tax rolls of millions of dollars' worth of taxable property for their power projects. They have taken this property not only within their own corporate limits and the limits of the counties in which they are located, but they have invaded numerous other counties and helped themselves freely. All this has added immeasurably to the taxes of property remaining on the rolls. That is why the rest of this state so bitterly complains and so earnestly de mands that these city utility projects be compelled to resume a share of the tax load. Should that be done, the city taxpayers again must suffer, by increase in the direct tax levy, by increase in utility rates, or by both. "Seattle and Tacoma have gained nothing by these ventures. On the contrary they have lost much and stand to lose still more. The people of Oregon will be weft advised to turn away from the foolish thought of getting something for nothing. On a state-wide scale, as promised in Oregon and as proposed, in the so-called 'district power bill' initiated for vote in 'Washington, the e results would be so much the more disastrous."
