THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1934 THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. Used Cars! WANT ADS 1930 Model A FARM CO-OPERATIVE DIVISION A MESSAGE TO EVERY MEMBER. Sport Roadster LOW-CUT TOP A STATE-WIDE COOPERATIVE The Grange Power Bill, if passed by the people on November 6, will create a cooperative whose member ship will be all the voters of Oregon. This is a non-partisan bill. There fore the voting for or against will be determined largely by individual reasoning and prejudice rather than by the dictates of a party machine. Happily Oregon is one of the few states in the Union which handles 1 political question in that manner. There may be many cooperators who would welcome some discussion of the bill, for there are some fea tures of It which should and must be clearly understood. The discus- sion which follows Is done by the question and answer method. Ques. — What is the purpose of the Grange Power Bill? Ans.—The bill enables the State of Oregon to get Into the power and light business. Ques.—If the bill is passed, will it immediately place an additional debt burden upon the taxpayers of Oregon of sixty million dollars? Ans.—No. Its passage simply en ables the state to proceed with its plans to get into the power business, and further, to bid for power gener ated by the government at Bonne ville. Bonds can be voted only at some future general or special elec- tion. Ques.—Are there any ... debt limi , tations beyond which the state can not go? Ans.—Yes. Six percent of one bil lion dollars which is the assessed ablation of the state. Ques.—Six percent would repre sent sixty million dollars. Would that much be necessary? Ans.—No. It has been estimated by reliable people that twenty mil lion dollars or less would represent the initial bonding. Ques.—Would the enterprise be self-liquidating? Ans.—Yes. All debts will be paid out of earnings as quickly as pos sible. The policy, in other words, will be the reverse of the utility companies. Ques.—Would the state compete with private companies now opera- ting? Ans.—No. The state will purchase or lease them. Ques.—How will the state handle the intricate problem of getting the electricity distributed through the various communities of the state? Ans.—Power districts will be or ganized and details will be handled from a central office in the district in the same manner that all offices function. Ques.—That sounds very good, but can we save on our electricity? Ans.—Certainly. There will be no holding companies pyramided one above the other calling for money, no watered stock demanding its share of dividends. Ques.—Are there any examples to prove that a saving can be made? Ans.—Many. Here are a few. The Tennessee Valley users pay only »1.50 for 50 K.W.H. The city of Eugene has saved its users two mil lion dollars and enjoys a rate of from 30 to 40 percent lessthan neighboring cities. Users in pay »4.94 for 50 K.W.H. where the current is purchased from private es- If the taxable wealth of he power companies Is taken off , tax rolls, will our taxes go up. A ns - -At solutely they will not. any of the cities enjoying muni al ■ lents have no taxes at all. e have reduced their tax burden • d rably by transferring large fi m their power and light min s over to the general fund. Angeles last year made a two illion dollar transfer and eased the lo d by just that much. Ques.—Why do some people in cluding security owners, complain it these facts are true? Ans.— Because in most cases these Individuals own shares in the pri ate companies which pay them <11- dends. . , . Ques.- If lower rates are what are inted why not have the commis- ion regulate them downward? Ans That sounds reasonable but it doesn’t work. The power of money Is too great. Example: It was the building of the canal and locks at Celilo that reduced the rate on wheat going to Portland 4 cents a bushel, and not the commission Ques — Will this state cooperative u-t up for the distribution of elec- tricity have the effect of destroy ing the so-called "individual initia- tive ?‘‘ Ans.—It Is a matter of sacrificing the few for the welfare of the many. Ques.—Will the power business be made a political football? Ans.—The framers of the bill planned to thwart this by entrust ing the administration to three non- partisan commissioners, elected in the same manner as judges. Ques —Must these three men have definite qualifications? Ans.—The voters will attend to that when they go to the polls. Ques.—Are these three men elect, ed at the time we vote on the bill. Ans —No. They will be elected at a future special or general election. Ques —One thing more. Will this state power business stimulate the influx of industry and settlers? And —Emphatically, yes. Industry always seeks cheap power and set tlers will gladly come to Oregon to settle on our lands if electricity with all Its conveniences can be enjoyed on the farms. Remember also, that the people from the drought strick en areas of the middle states are seeking homes In the west and if Oregon is to get its share it must provide for them. Cheap power In ducements are now offered in both Washington and California as public ownership is much in evidence there.

Tomato and melon growers in Umatilla County will be interested in knowing that they may receive payment for unused melon and to mato stamps. The Oregon-Washing ton Melon and Tomato Marketing Agreement management has just in structed the Umatilla County Agent that on October 3 the Marketing Agreement operations terminated in sofar as they affect retail prices. Growers having unused stamps may receive payment in full by forward ing them to the Portland office of the Marketing Agreement at 516 Oregon Building, Portland, Oregon. The organization further advises that there will probably be a resi due above the cost of operation, and this will be refunded to the holders of receipts covering the purchase of stamps. Growers should note that all these claims for unsold stamps must be made on or before the first day of November. 1934, and this in formation is being sent out by the County Agent’s office in order that Umatilla county growers may take advantage of the opportunity. The Home Economics club will sponsor a Hallowe’en benefit card party in the Grange hall Wednes- day evening, October 31.
