Salem, Ore on BE SURE TO VOTE 1 FRIDAY-JUNE 22-SPECIAL ELECTION IS SURE' TO VOT MS VOTE AGAINST THE Salem Electric Franchise V Aveid Unnecessary Duplication There is no surer way to increase taxes than to vote for unnecessary duplication of electric service. All recognized authorities, including Bonneville administrators and Public . Utility Commissioners, agree that du plicated electric power facilities are an economic waste and usually result In higher rates to the consumer. keep Regulated Rates Salem Electric rates are not under the jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commissioner or any regulatory body as are the rates of PGE. Salem Electric can raise its rates at will; Indeed, it did so in January, 1943. Keep Reliable Service . Uninterrupted delivery is the most Important factor in electric service. It demands ample reserve equipment, engineering "know-how." PGE has a record of over 35 years of reliable electric service in Salem. PGE does not depend on only one It has three sources of power in Salem. Keep Rates low PGE has distributed Bonneville power since 1939. For the past 35 years PGE has consistently reduced its rates. They are among the very lowest in the United States. cms (vmnnip cm muixj I IV Paid odvrtiimnt by Portion d Gnral Eltcrric Compony, WUIamtft Yallty Division, Salm, Ore goo IP AH AB3tURIT Efl AEK.
