TO

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

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

Washington and California as public
ownership is much in evidence

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

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.
