IN A HIDDEN TAX HOW A PEOPLE’S UTILITY DOES IT Collects or pays same property tax as a private utilities, delivers power at cost, ranging from 20 to 60 per cent less. The saving to the people where Bonneville Power is used equals EIGHT times the tax loss, if they were lost, but are not, the public records show. BONNEVILLE POWER IS NOT A TAX EATER EVIDENCE: Bonneville Power 1943 net income was $2,454,554.00 while running at only fractional capacity which more than pays amortization with interest which is required by law. A private utility pays only a small part of its income as tax, while the Bonneville Power pays all of its income to the U. S. Treasury. AN EMPIRE BUILDER If the State of Washington were supplied 100 per cent by Bonneville Power $21,843,094.00 would be saved annually by the consumer by low er rates If all the $2,930,265.00 taxes the private power companies now pay were lost, the people of the state would still be millions of dol lars ahead. These computations were made by Congressman John E. Rankin and published in the Congressional record of June 30, 1943, page A 3569 to A 3572. This is an example of the saving that Malheur Co. can make. ON THE WHOLE, THE PUBLIC AGENCIES PAY THE GREATER TAXES This was clearly shown by the investigation made by the Federal Power Commission in 1935-1937 which is the only authoritative in formation on the subject, and covered the entire United States. The investigation showed that on the basis of “ba.se revenues” the “total taxes, including contributions and free services, is 14.4 per cent for privately owned utilities, and 26.8 per cent for public owned utilities. To make it brief, at the period of amortization, the people of the Pac ific Northwest will own, fullv paid for, a system worth $678,000,000 DELIVERING POWER AT COST! ARE YOU FOR IT?

Says: “The Taxes We Pay as a Citizen of Malheur County Help Reduce Your Own Tax Bill” They also say: “The money to pay the cost of necessary public services—schools, law enforc- ment, roads (as well as the cost of wars)— can come from only one source—the taxpayer. “In 1945 our company paid approximately $100,000 in taxes on business done and property owned in Malheur County—ad valorem pro perty taxes alone were $22,000—only a fraction of the total. “If we did not pay these taxes, you and the other taxpayers would have to make up that loss. “When you hear proposals discussed for a People’s Utility District, which would f)hy no federal taxes, or for Bonneville power, which is a tax-eater instead of a tax producer—remem ber that you and other taxpayers will get the bill for the difference.” Nyssa Electrical Education Club 9 Nyssa Furniture Company i I I THEJLAPf CHURCH Rev.
