You Pay Monthly
All tuxes levied against the Private ¡Power Co. are passed on to you.
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

PARMA, IDAHO
The Idaho Power Co. 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.”
