The generation of electric energy
by the government is a by-product
of the development of navigation,
which in turn is u recognized fed
eral function by virtue of the au
thority granted the United States
government to regulate commerce.
The protecting wing of the fed
eral government ends with distri
bution of electric power at whole
sale.
From that point power should be
passed to the consumer through
existing distrioutton agencies. Such
public agencies that may be cre
ated for such distribution, like
private agencies, can be made sub
je c t to taxation by the state and
other regulations.
The public can secure the bene
fit of cheap power by private dis
tribution which avoids confiscation
of its properties, which competition
by publicly owned distribution sys
tems portends.
Such were the high spots of an

D V M CHRONICLE
address on Bonneville bv Franklin
T. Griffith, president of the Port
land Electric
Power company.
Wednesday night at the Portland
Realty board’s 13th annual dinner
when Griffith was formally pro
claimed "Portland's First Citizen”
for 1939.
"This
Bonneville generating
plant is a magnificent feat of en
gineering." Griffith asserted. "It
will stand through the ages, and
power from its turbines will be
continually available, with an e f
ficiency quotient of 92 per cent,
the highest which can possibly be
reached without eliminating fric
tion. Those units will be as effi
cient 15 years from today as they
now are.
"Of $53,188,000 spent to date on
Bonneville, only $11,000.000 was
charged to power development. As
the project is expanded to its
greatest capacity, $42.000.000 of
the ultimate $74,000,000 expendi
ture will be allocated to power, on
i which not one cent of interest will
be charged other than the amount
allocated to power.
"No taxes will be imposed. In
the $7.500.000 to be spent on trans
mission lines, the contribution of
the WPA and the PWA will likely
be forgotten.
"All this low cost advantage in
power production should be passed
on to the consumer through exist
ing distribution agencies, rather
than through any new public agen
cies.
“ The entire theory of rate mak
ing i> based on the proposition that
quantity use will tend to lower
rates. We can sec no advantage in
public distribution.
“ It is axiomatic that no private
utility can compete with the trens-
urv of the United States."
(»liffith's address followed pres
entation of the first citizen plaque
by Fred (\ Medowan, retiring pres
ident of the Realty board. More
than 300 civic and professional
lenders of Portland were gathered
to honor (¡riffith
