2. WE PAYItittftE...YGU GET MGUE
"Some people may tell you that we merely add
our taxes to the customer's electric bills. Well,
if we did, then it would stand to reason that we
would raise our rates when our taxes go up. The
truth is that although taxes on every dollar of
our income have increased 62 in the last 14
years, the average price we receive per kilowatt
hour for residential service has gone down 52.
'
1. TAXES TAKE 15 OUT OF EVERY
"Yes, we pay 15c in taxes . . . 15c out ot every dol
lar we receive for electric service. This year
Pacific Power & Light Company is paying enough
taxes (nearly $900,000) to educate more than
9,000 children or to maintain one-fourth' of all
primary and secondary roads in Washington or
Oregon.
3. GOOD MANAGEMENT IS THE ANSWER
"You want to know how Pacific Power & Light
Company meets this tremendous increase in taxes,
yet cuts the price of electricity in half? The
answer is business-like management, which: (1)
successfully develops greater use of electricity
and thus makes 'mass production rates possible.
(2) keeps improving the efficiency of this highly
technical electrical service.
"Pacific Power & Light Company is a typical
American business, meeting a steadily increasing
tax burden, yet at the same time constantly find
ing new ways of giving customers more and more
for less and less."
