Der, is neither a new law nor an
experiment. It has been the law
OF Wisconsin for fifteen years and
OF California since 1911. Sim;la,
laws are in force in Oregon and
Idaho, and in all in twentv-s;s
states of the Union.
In all of these states this Law

Experience has proved that two
companies serving one community
with light, power or water, means
duplication Of plant and invest
lment, and that such duplication
means poorer service at higher
rates.
The law as drawn, however. does
not guarantee any company again
st competition. 1t will provide
competition when service is made
quate or whenever public interest
demands it.
1t Will in no way interfere with
the operation, development or ex-

IN tying up or preventing the de-

experience with this same identi-

eleven years that law has been in
operation there, California has
witnessed a tremendous develop
ment Of the states water power
resources, development the peo-
pie of California admit would have
been impossible under old condi-
lions.
Here, as well as in our sister
states of the coast, water power
development is needed to furnish
the energy required in irrigation
and for manufacturing purposes.
Referendum measure No. IL will
be big factor in reducing the
burdens Of the taxpayer, by adding
to the taxable property of the
state. Development of power re-
sulting in the creation of huge
water power plants, the extension
OF irrigated areas and the estab-
lishment of manufacturing plants
will add to taxable wealth.
Our taxes in 1921 were $40, OOO,-
600 in excess Of the taxes in 1916.
A reason for this may be found
when properties exempt from tax
alton are studied. Seattle and King
County, for instance have more
than $1O8,0O0,OOO of such tax
exempt properties, a condition
which increases the amount Of
taxes which must be assessed
against the. properties of the tax
payers Of the state.
Referendum Measure No. 12|
will stimulate investment in in

utilities, and by adding to taxable
wealth decrease taxes against the

If that law has stimulated de-
velopment and investment in Cali
fornia, Wisconsin and other states,
it will do the same thing in Wash
