MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1942.
DEATH SENTENCE
SEEN INCPA BILL
Congressional Committee
1 Told Legislation Would
Wipe Out Private Owners.
Washington. June 18. (JP)
Sharp criticism of legislation to
set up a Columbia power author
ity to take over private utilities
in Washington and Oregon came
today from Kingsey M. Robin
son, Spokane, president of the
Washington Water Power com
pany.
He told a Joint congressional
committee that the legislation
would "wipe out every private
distributor of electricity" in the
Pacific northwest "regardless of
the will of the people or rates
being charged by the private
company.
Robinson opposed the Smith
Bone bills (SA2430 and HR88B0)
to empower such a federal
authority to acquire private
power companies In the two
states and resell their facilities
to public bodies for distribution
of energy generated at the Bon
neville and' Grand Coulee dams
on the Columbia river.
The power company execu
tive said that 90 per cent of the
revenue of his company and
over 81 per cent of its popula
tion were In areas where public
ownership had been defeated or
where no elections had been
held.
He also said the city of Spo
kane, served by his company,
used two and a half times as
much electricity as the average
for the country and paid for it
nearly 25 per cent less than the
average rate of similar service
in the Tennessee Valley Author
ity region.
Senator Bone (D-Wash), co
author of the bills, asked how
the Spokane rate compared with
that in Tacoma, which has pub
licly owned power.
Tacoma Chad
Robinson replied Tacoma's
rate was 1.2 cents a kilowatt
hour compared with 1.9 cents
in Spokane, but he added Taco-

Si
ma was particularly benefitted
by ample water supply. He ob
served, however, that Spokane's
rate of growth had been greater
than Tacoma's.
Robinson assailed a federal
condemnation provision in the
bills under which, he explained,
a public power agency could
take over property of a private
company by filing a declaration
of Intent In federal court and
deposit with the court funds to
cover an appraised value of the
"Under this proposal the ad
ministrator wouia oniy nave mj
decide that he wanted a partic
ular electric company out of
business and he could start con
demnation proceedings even
though a large majority of the
people in the area were not in
terested in purchasing the dis
tribution system from bun,"
Robinson asserted.
"Even though Spokane did
not want municipal ownership
the properties could be sold to
the Spokane county public util
ity district, an REA cooperative,
or a new type of cooperative or
non-profit corpora ti on that
might be formed by a few lob
hungry power politicians.
"The properties of one city
could be sold to another, rural
areas put under city control or
vice versa, all in the sole dis
cretion of the administration
without let or hindrance of the
wishes of the people."
Facts Dispute Claim
Replying to a contention that
unification of private companies
with public power was neces
sary in the interest of prosecut
ing the war, Robinson said the
tact did not bear out this con
clusion. ..
"With the interconnections
now being made and others con
templated every kilowatt of ca
pacity and every kilowatt-hour
of energy in the area that can
be made useful will be con
served for the war effort," he
declared.
"No new group can take these
generating plants and water
storage facilities and get the
mmmt of cBDacitv and energy
out of them that the group now
operating them are getting.
