Now that PUDs have had four years’ time to try to make
good on their promises to give the public lower rates
than the business-managed electric systems, it is fair
for you to demand the figures so you can judge them
by their record!
Here it is. The average cost of electricity on ah
Washington homes and farms getting Bonneville power
through PUDs is 24°/» higher than on the PP&L system!
Both the PUDs and the business-managed companies
pay taxes out of their electric rates. But PP&L pays
17.7 cents in taxes out of every dollar of revenue, whil
PUD taxes average only 4.8 cents per dollar.
PUD customers pay electric rates out of one pocket,
and the missing taxes out of the other.
You want a fair and true comparison—the cost of
electricity alone as shown by this chart. If you want
to add taxes to the cost of electricity on an equal basis,
the result is just the same—PUD rates are still just
as much higher.
PUDs HAVE COST ANOTHER $2,000,000
IN SPECIAL PUD TAXES
PUDs also have the right under the PUD law to collect
special PUD taxes. They promised in every election
campaign that they wouldn’t do it—or maybe only
a little !
Again, let’s look at the record. They have already
collected from the people of Washington TWO MIL-
LION DOLLARS in these special PUD tax levies.

A big chunk of this money has gone to a favored little
group of lawyers and engineers.
SUPER DISTRICTS NEWEST TRICK IN THE PUD BAG
On the Washington ballot in November will be a bill—
Referendum 25—which would completely wipe out all
of the business-managed electric systems in the state
that are actually delivering electricity so much cheaper
than the PUDs. It would set up a giant Super-PUD and
put an end forever to competition from efficient business
managed companies.
To grubstake this Super-PUD monopoly would cost
he electricity users of Washington $200,000,000 in
bonds issued and sold without a vote of the people. It
would cost millions in so-called “commissions” to the
professional promoters who have bored into the public
power movement—and still more millions in electric
rates in all the future years.
If the promoters can put this scheme over on the
electricity users and taxpayers of Washington, they
plan to move into Oregon next! So look again at the
chart above. Fix the facts in your mind for future refer
ence, if the need comes. The figures prove that taxpay
ing, American business management givs you the big
gest real value for your money—political bureaucracy
can never be a substitute for it!
