Cen ter Traction Tread •Those who favor the Townsend plan are concerned over the state power bill that will be on the Nov- ember ballot," was a statement made by Elbert Bede while a visitor here Tuesday. "The reason they are concerned," said Bede, "is because operation of a great power business by the state would take millions of dollars in property oft the tax rolls. The loss of this property would mean either that the property remaining would have to bear a higher tax rate or the stale would have to look to some other means of raising money. The natur al thing would be to adopt the trans action tax upon which Townsendites are depending to produce money for their old age pensions. "Another feature that should in- terest Townsendites is that if the power venture should prove unsuc cessful, millions of dollars would have to come from somewhere to pay the bills. Property can bear no more, so why not the transaction tax? "Townsendites are not the only ones worried. Business generally fears the outcome if millions of state money are turned over for expendi ture by a commisison of three „men elected by popular vote without re UP gard to whether they have experience to qualify them for the job. In fact, the provision that no member of the commission may be an owner of util ity stock, makes it probable that commissioners may be picked from those who have never been such a business success as to have any money to invest. “We already have methods for get ting lower rates through cheaper power manufactured by the govern ment, so why risk huge sums of our money in an experiment? Why do we need another commisison that would have a host of employes at salaries fixed by the commission’ “Why not use cheap power, if we can gkt it, over present distribution I systems, with rates fixed by national and state governments?” Co.
