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.
