THEY HAD THE ANSWER (Idaho Statesman) The Long Valley Power Cooperative, Inc., a Rural Electrification administrative coopera tive, which attempted to provide electrical ser vice in the rugged Boise basin and Donnelly areas, has called it quits. O f a total membership of 278, only five were opposed to selling the power system and the obligation for service to the Idaho Power company. Thus the members o f another noble New Deal experiment have learned by experience that the government is quite generally an' ineffective competitor of private enterprise. The Idaho Mountaineer, weekly newspaper published at Idaho City, has the following com ment on the transaction: “ On February 1 thQ Idaho Power company assumed ownership and management of the electrical system with immediate reduction o f rates to comply with power costs in the valley. The reduction will affect every user and will range from 10 to 47 per cent less to homes and businesses served with electricity. The power company will also pay the $200,- 000 debt to the RFC and return the $5.00 membership fee each subscriber had paid to the REA . . . Great day in them orning! Here we have a public utility bailing out a federal cooperative, furnishing service at greatly reduced rates, pay ing o ff the federal debt that created the un successful cooperative and agreeing to fulfill commitments for which REA had collected $5.00 membership fee deposits but had failed to make good on their promises. And in addition, the public utility that has paid o ff the debt, furnished lower rates and assured extended service, continues to pay high state and federal taxes, something the REA does not have to do. W e are offered two systems for the future o f this nation: One, the socialistic possibilities demonstrated by REA in the Boise basin. Two, the continuation of free enterprise as demonstrated by the Idaho Power company in the Boise basin. The Long Valley Cooperatives had an answer for it.
