PGE PROFITS ARE LIMITED BY LAW Earnings of the Portland General Electric Company are limited by Mate law to a reasonable return on the value of electric facilities needed to serve the; public. Earnings are about 6 per cent a year. State regulation keeps profits reasonable.j This is not true with Salem tlectrit. Earnings are uncontrolled. Hiding under a "non-profit" .label to avoid pacing taxes and to avoid state regulation as ai public utility, Salem Electric ran make all the money out of it's operation that the; traffie vill bear. No; state or city agency arts in the public interest to control earnings. ' i r PGE PAYS ITS FULL SHARE OF TAXES j i PGE is taxed like any other property owner, paying its full share of taxes for support of city schools and government, the state and federal governments. Between 17 and 20 cents out of each income dollar goes back to the public m the form of taxes. Salem Electric avoids almost all taxes. Il pays no state or federal income taxes, no direct taxes for flip port of schools, no real property taxes to the rity. In 1917 its total taxes amounted to only 2.6 cents out of each income dollar ; PGE LARGEST BOIIUlVllli POWER DISTRIBUTOR PGE is the largest distributor of j Bonneville. Power in the Pacific Northwest and has been ever since federal dams on the Columbia River were first built. In addition it operates five major hydroelectric plants and three j steam generating plants ample power to serve Salem and surrounding communities. ; ; j Salem Electric has failed to build adequate standby power sources to serve Salem in time of emergency. In lliia nay It avoids paying real property taxes. It buys power from only one source . . . owns no generating plants. It builds only distribution; lines (personal property requiring Salem Electric to pay only a slight tax). It invests in only the flimtieM sort of repair facilities. 4. 5. YOUR OWIIISTATE GOVERNMENT REGULATES PGE RATES Since the ery beginning PGE customers have enjoyed lower and lower electric rates. That is because the consumer benefits from all technical improvements that lower the cost of producing and distrib uting electricity. Customer's interests are always protected by state regulation. PGE must reduce rates whenever the Public Utilities Commissioner finds that reductions are justified. Salem Electric can raise its rates at any time. No state or city agency of any description supervises the rates charged by Salem Electric. In the past,; it has increased rates. If Salem Electric obtains approval of its proposed franchise on the ballot November 2 it ran later increase Its rates without control by any agency acting in the publie interest. PGE MUST MAINTAIN SERVICE TO EVERY SALEM CITIZEN WHO WANTS IT A state regulated Btility such as POE is required to provide service of definite standard to every Salem citizen who desires it. Any customer having a complaint that is not satisfied by PGE itself has the right to appeal to the Publip Utilities Commissioner, whose office is here in Salem. 1 I., i. 9 ft 1 I Salem Electric can refuse service. Unregulated Salem Elec tric is not obligated, under Its present organizational rules; to serve the public's interest. It can refuse to serve lhin! areas and take only the profitable "cream" of the business in the city, as it chooses. ; PGE ELECTRIC FACILITIES ADEQUATE TO SERVE CITY Very few cities in the United States have permitted more than one electric system to; serve them. Ultimately higher rates result when unnecessary, duplicated facilities increase the costs both systems have to meet. PGE facilities in Salem are adequate; a second system for Salem is unnecessary and will serve no beneficial purpose, ii It. Duplication of facilities by Salem Electric will result In un sightly, cluttered streets and decrease property values Duplicated electric services! have no advantages for a city and many disadvantages. Salem is a beautiful cily and should be kept that way.
