Wall Street and PUD's
A month atro, during the congressional hearings on Bon
neville's request for additional funds for transmission lines
Representative Jensen of Iowa, read into the Congres
sional Record the charge that federal bureaucrats were
teaming with Wall Street promoters to force the purchase
ni privately owned power companies by PUD's at exorbi
tant figures backing the charges with documentary evi
dence. While the Capital Journal printed a brief summary of
the charges, The Dalles Chronicle has reprinted them in
full from the Congressional Record from which they are
reproduced.
' One Guy C. "Flash" Myers recently had pending in
federal tax court $300,000 tax evasion case. The bureau
of internal revenue ruled that Myers tried to evade pay
ment of $300,000 on his 1940-41 income tax.
Myers defense was that he had spent years promoting
public power ownership deals in Washington and Ne
braska, claiming his IJMO-41 income should be spread over
the period 1934-41. He first began his questionable pur
suits in 1934. Representative Jensen said:
- "His (Myers) racket is to capitalize the tax savings (of public
utility districts) by issuing tax-exempt bonds against these sav
ings, and hand the proceeds less a fat commission over to the
Wall street owners of the common stocks of the electric compa
nies which are being socialized.
"Here is the way Guy Myers' tax-capitalizing device works:
Suppose 1 have a business that is worth only $100,000 on the
basis of its net earnings after taxes, and suppose that business
is now carrying $2,400 a year in federal income taxes as part of
its operating expenses
"Now, suppose some smart fellow comes along and says to
you, 'Look, you've got a nice little business here, and 1 know
how you can get a fancy price for it. I've got a client who does
n't have to pay federal taxes, and he's very anxious to buy you
out. If you sell it to a taxpayer like yourself, you know very
well that all you can get for it is $100,000 because that's as big
an investment as it will carry.
" 'But if you will sell it to my tax-free client, he can take the
12,400 a year you now pay Uncle Sam and use that money to pay
interest on a much bigger investment. That $2,400 will pay
six percent on $40,000, which means that he can make the busi
ness carry an investment of $140,000 and still show the same net
return.
" 'So here's what we can do. I'll get my client to pay you
$130,000 for the business, and pay me $10,000 for fixing up the
deal, and we'll both make a nice piece of change.'
r "Yes, that is exactly the way Guy Myers works up his
deals to sell electric power companies into socialism. Only
he is not working for small change. He is dealing in mil
lions and hundreds of millions, and his commissions run
into seven figures," said Jensen. He continued:
' "Take the Puget Sound Power & Light company deal, for ex
ample. That company now pays the government about $2,500,
000 in federal taxes every year. And once you understand the
game, it is easy to see how Myers can offer 30 to 40 million dol
lars of extra profit to the owners of the company.
' "It Is a slick trick, a very slick trick. And I think Mr. Myers
himself must wonder sometimes why the public has not caught
onto it long before now.
"One reason the public has not caught on, of course, is the
smoke screen of confusion which has been spread by the shrewd
and skillful agents of power socialism."
In other words, Myers was getting big prices for Wall
street promoters for utility common stock, and big prices
were being paid by PUD's owned by taxpayers because
PUD's pay no federal income taxes, so their net earnings
ae higher than those of tax paying private companies.
Where to Put the Cars?
Eugene is proud to call itself one of the first cities in
the country to discuss off-street parking. But the city
to the south isn't so proud of the progress made in get
ting what it needs: At least 1400 parking spaces adja
cent to the business center.
In admitting the lack of getting something done in off
street parking, the Kugene Register-Guard makes some
comment that might soothe some frayed nerves in Salem.
This observation is noted:
' "Our one-way grid system has brought a great im
provement in moving traffic to and from the center of
Eugene."
So the one-way system has not killed off the university
city. Kugene has survived nicely the adoption of the one
way grid system, or at least, its usually critical newspaper
ays it has. Kdilor Bill Tugman would be the first, too,
to aay it hadn't, if the grid system had ruined the citv.

Post-War China Story

Washington If and when the state department opens its se

tragedies of post-war reconstruction.
The files will also tell a story that will make this nation think
twice about pouring more U. S. dollars down the yawning maw of
China.

There will be no execution in the gas chamber in the state

Acting Governor Walsh said Tuesday that he was opposed

be scheduled during any time that he is occupying the gov

of the case to Gov. McKay.
"And I won't release any prisoners, either, while pinch
