Necessity of Varied
Rate Zones for
Bonneville Power

ommendations to Governor Charles
H. Martin on "Recommended Pol

in Morrow county out on Rhea creek
now." This is the assertion of Fred
Hoskins when in town Monday. Fred
was enthusiastic in his praise for the
old county court and the county en
gineer in making a road that is a
road. "The grade was put straight
through, eliminating many danger
ous curves and old mudholes. The
bed is good and wide, and a fellow is
no longer in danger of his neck
when he takes off down Rhea creek
from Rugg's. I want to tell you those
fellows did a good job."
GERMANS HARD HIT
FOLLOWING WAR
Continued from First Page
did Sackett have promise of a good
night's sleep. That was when he
curled up in some hay in a barn
loft, only to be ousted a short while
later on complaint of the German
owner.
The German people were hospit
able. And apparently the shops had
obtained special stocks of supplies
for the Americans whose reputation
as souvenir hunters had preceded
them.
Germans were on short rations.
They used bars of chicory bark for
coffee, and their bread was in loaves
about four inches square, a foot
long, very dark and about the con
sistency of wood. Sackett believed
one of the heavy supply trucks could
have run over a loaf without dent
ing it. Food was at such a premium
that an old German and his son
seemed pleased to get a can of
spoiled meat from a supply dump
he was guarding, and he made a big
hit with an old German by giving
him his ration of American tobacco.
Inflation took place rapidly while
he was there, and to protect his
marks he invested themin razors
The army office cashed francs 200
marks to 100 francs, and he found it
profitable to buy francs at the local
exchange rate of 150 marks to 100
francs then resell them to the army
office. The mark, with pre-war
value of 25 cents had hit a low of
6 cents before he left. Soon after
wards Germans were using wheel
barrows to haul their marks around,
Germans had a good excuse for
everything they did in the war,
Their excuse for entering it was the
heavy mobilization of troops by Rus
sia along the border, Sackett said.
Roland Wade of Walla Walla is
visiting at the home of his sister,
The direction and rate of Oregon's
growth will be determined chiefly
by the presence or absence of the
priming impetus necessary to start
the cycle of industrial development.
In turn this depends largely on the
policies and rates to be established
for Bonneville power. Unless pro
vision is made for the sale of large
quantities of electric energy at the
lowest feasible rate, including proper
amortization and carrying charges,
the basic electro-chemical, electro
metallurgical and other heavy in
dustries, in which the cost of power
bears a high ratio to total manu
facturing cost, will probably not be
induced to locate within the area
servable from Bonneville.
If all the power generated at Bon
neville were sold at wholesale un
der blanket rate schedules, whereby
transmission charges were made the
same at all points regardless of
where delivered, the cost" of energy
near Bonneville would be higher
than ifates were proportioned ac
cording to the distance transmitted.
A variable rate schedule based on
actual costs of delivering energy
according to transmission distances
would retain the relative economic
advantage of each area. It would
prevent discrimination against places
nearer Bonneville in favor of those
farther removed. A single blanket
rate over a large area is economically
justifiable only where energy is fed
into the system at different points
on the line. The fundamental prin
ciple of maintaining, as far as pos
sible, the natural economic advant
ages inherent in each area should be
adhered to with reasonable consistency.
Obviously it would be impractic
able to establish a different rate for
each additional mile that energy is
transmitted. Energy from Bonne
ville will probable be sold at whole
sale at substations suitably located
to serve the surrounding areas.
Practical application of the varia
ble rate policy does not require a
higher tariff for each mile of trans
mission line, but merely a rational
division of the total cost of the whole
transformation and transmission
system among the areas served in
proportion to their distance from
Bonneville. Where several delivery
substations are reasonably near to
gether or can be interconnected so
that energy can be exchanged effi
ciently in both directions, zone rates
might well be established over the
area so served. However, the rate
for energy sold directly at the Bon
neville power house at generator
voltage should not be burdened with
any charges for the transmission
system which delivers energy to
points farther away.
The Oregon State Planning Board's
Advisory Committee on Power has
compared the wholesale costs of
Bonneville energy delivered to va
rious points throughout the state
under a rate plan in which trans
mission costs were blanketed over
the whole system with another plan
whereby delivered prices were based
on the transmission distance from
Bonneville. This comparative study
shows that the cost of electric ener
gy to industries located near Bonne
ville would be considerably higher
per kilowatt year under the assumed
blanket transmission cost plan. This
added cost would probably be
enough to discourage the establish
ment of industries requiring large
quantities of extremely low cost
power.
Congress, which will soon have
before it the problem of setting
rates and establishing policies for
distribution of Bonneville power,
should keep these facts in mind and
should be made aware of possible
loss of state industrial growth which
might result from a single "blanket
rate" policy.
