SENATOR • Early next month you will receive a check like this for your share of a $300,000 “rate dividend’’ to all PP&L electric customers. .The amount of your dividend will be approximately one-half of your aver age ‘monthly electric bill— and it will be paid by check and not merely a credit on your next bill. We are taking this unusual step because there is an imu&ual condi tion to be dealt with. The war is causing an abnormal demand for electricity at many pl&ees on the PP&L system. Just as a few ex amples, we are serving new war industries, commercial businesses, a ir fields, tr a in in g qam ps, naval bases and supply depots. And besides serving electricity to all our regular customers, PP&L has been called upon to furnish electric- HOLMAN ON THE JOB FOR OREGON o R e p u b lic a n P r im a r ie s MAY lftth ity to a sudden influx of new families in the neighborhood of all these war- caused activities. All this has result ed in an unusual increase in our total volume of business. You and all the other users of our electric service have a right to share in the benefits of this extra business while ft lasts. The question has been I “W hat is a sound way of distribu ting these benefits?” After thorough investigation, the W ashington Department of Public Service and the Oregon Public Utili ties Commissioner have approved this “rate dividend^’ plan as a fair and practical way to meet a war time situation. The check you receive as your share of this $300,000 customer-divi dend will reduce further the cost you pay for electricity—which already is only about half national average. THE OLD JUDGE SAYS*..

They give us a better idea o f how our men react to things going on over there and back here a t home.” “ I agree with you, Sam. I never miss one* of those stones in the papers or magazines. And there’s one thing those writers seem to agree on no matter where they are stationed with our m en ...a n d that is th at the men who have left their homes and families to go away and fight this war don’t want to come back and find th at prohibition has been put over on them while they were aw ay. . . either nationally or locally. T hey have heard about the attem pts being made and they resent it bitterly.* “ I agree with them, Judge, even though I don’t happen to drink myself. Further more, I don’t think it ’s fair for us at home to be making any major changes while 10,000,000 o f our fighting men are away and have no chance to express their opinions.” It was BUSINESS MANAGEMENT that made these reductions in your electric rates, without calling on the public treasury for help. In fact, PPftL has paid con stantly increasing u s e s in support of Govermysat while rates were being reduced.
