To the Editor: It Is doubtful if ever any people was subjected to such an avalanche, of propaganda as the citizens of the proposed seven county utility district before the election. The peaceful Polk county hills reverberated with oratory and the pleading voice of the personal contact man. It came rushing through the malls like a surging tide, In letters, cards and packages. One farmer was seen hauling the stuff home with a trailer. Another was heard to remark, as he was shoveling It Into the furnace, that it was hot stuff. Perhaps this was Just an example of what elections In the future will be like. Politics nowadays are real ly economic problems, such as dis tribution of wealth, the control of light and power, and so forth. It is all based on the modem maxim, What concerns all should be operat ed for the good of all." It la an Inspiration to know, that In spite of the fierce opposition of the dally press and power com panies, the. rural districts in both Polk and Yamhill -counties voted for the district. What Is the kind of stuff that real democracies are made of? The people aim to reach their objec tive and neither abuse or any silly propaganda shall sway their course until they reach their goal. Behold the proud city of Eugene. How well I remember the bitter at tack and abuse that was heaped upon those good people who had the courage to bond their prosperity in order to establish their own pow er plant, which now is the envy of all Oregon cities, and are making the little city famous all over the country for Its low rates.
