"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&-

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

Tacoma, 81.89 mills,

Whole State Suffers Tax Losses

and community in the State of

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."
