Super Power

(Continued I root first oolumn,
known as the “super-puwer”
plan, has been evolved.
Because of certain economic
advantages, with which- all en
gineers are familiar, the ten
dency is to connect groups of
these plants together, forming
large composite systems.
In tim e a few “super-power”
system s,
drawing
upon all
economical sources of power
w ithin the areas they cover,
will supply electric energy to
the greater p art of the N orth
American continent.
A super-power system will
serve hundreds of classes of
customers in innumerable ways.
It will not only receive power
from
hydraulic
and steam
plants, but from every other
possible source, including th at
derived from the by-products of
m anufacturing operations, such
as the gases from blast fu r
naces and coke ovens, the resi
dues left a fter the extraction
of gasoline from coal, and, es
pecially, many future possibili
ties about which we now know
little or nothing.
F ar too much of the house
wife’s time is now spent in
drudgery. With electric cook
ing she will not have to spend
long hours in the h ot kitchen,
instead, she will simply prepare
her
meats, vegetables, and
ether edibles a t any convenient
time, place them in the oven of
the electric range, set a time-
controlled switch, and then for
get all about cooking until it is
time for the meal. , Then she ’
will go to the oven and fin d 1
everything cooked and ready t o 1
serve.
When every farm er can ob
tain electricity, he will have a t
his disposal an ideal form of
power th at will do a very large
part of his work for a few cents
a day. He will then need fewer
hands and will be able to pay
i.hem better wages than at,
present.
question of w hat would happen
to the taxpayers if all this pnU
perty was removed from the
taxrolls is worth considering.
Why extend the blighting
hand of public ownership over
the private rights and private
property of our people?
Too much officialism and
government oppression of the
masses has made a world wreck
out of countries operating un-!
der th a t system.
