paper made some sort of reference to
"Tacoma's experience" with the hight
and power question, the inference be-
ing that we were not making a success
of our power system. This is how sue
cessful we are. For this same 40 kilo-
wat hours of service, Tacoma charges
me $1.52. The Grays Harbor Aberdeen
company charges you $500. 1t sells
this current for TWENTY times what
1t pays for It. 1t makes TWO THOU
SAND per cent profit. Nice game
for the light company. Second story
operators and porch climbers would
not ask for anything better. Why
wear a mask and take the risk Of be-
ing caught with a slung shot in your
hands Go into the light business and
make 1000 per cent profit.
So that there may be no possible
escape for the poor light users of this
town, the generous Grays Harbor out
fit makes the next 30 kilowat hours of
current cost you 9 cents each. Then
the next 80 at the rate of cents
each. Over in Tacoma pay cents
for the first % kilowat hours and
after that, l can use all the current
want for ONE CENT PER KILOWAT
HOUR.
Last year in Tacoma, the operating
revenues Of our hydro-electric sys.
tenn were 81, 193,42S.5S. After paying
all operating costs amounting to $685.
1880, we had a tidy sum Of over
100000 left as operating income
from which we could pay off part OF
our bonds and make new extensions or
use as a basis for further rate reduc-
tons. This is how Tacoma has Fail
ed" We started with a small plant.
Today our plant has fixed assets of
nearly FIVE MILLION DOLLARS that
belong absolutely to the people of
Tacoma and It has never cost the tax
payers one cent. Every dollar Of con-
structiOn and operation costs was paid
from the profits Of the plant. YOU
CAN DO TILE SAME THING IN
ABERDEEN.

TACOMA ATTORNEY
SPEAKS TO VOTERS

and power was reduced from 80 to
IS per cent.
Sam watkins, water superintendent
and A. e. Cross, city attorney, also adj
dressed the meeting.
Some of those attending the meet
ing were later interviewed and freely
stated that they we're convinced that
If the city Of Aberdeen is expected
to make rapid progress and attract
more industries, that the Wynooche
project must be developed by the city
and THAT their vote would be favorable
to the bond issue.
Following are the high lights OF Mr..
Bones address of Tuesday and Wed
nesday evenings:
From Speeches Of Mr.. Bone.
All of the greatest natural resources
we possess are being rapidly dissipat-
ed, except the waterpower Of the state.
The private power interests are max
ing desperate efforts to prevent the
development and utilization of this by
cities. Bellingham and Aberdeen are

field and are finding out to what
lengths the opposition will go to de-
stroy public ownership.
This crowd don't care how many
bridges you build. Why? There Is
no profit in bridges. But there is so
much profit in the hydro-electric bust
ness that it becomes a gold mine for
the fortunate owners of big plant.
It is like the tabled Allad1n's lamp,
that needed only TO be rubbed by its
possessor to bring a wealth of mate
rial things. For the first 40 kilowatt
hours you pay at the rate of 10 cents
per K. w. H. here in Aberdeen. /
am told that the local power company
pays local mill companies for this cur
rent at the rate OF one-half cent per
X. w. H. The average user in Seattle
and Tacoma would probably not ex-
coed 40 kilowat hours per month In
home consumption. This power CON-
pany knows this and with a business
cunning that is typical Of these COM
panies, makes the MAXIMUM charge
for current cover the first 40 hours.
This means that practically every lit
tie homeowner must pay this outfit
the MAXIMUM PRICE FOR ITS
CURRENT.

Selfish Purpose.

When we started to build our little
Nisqually plant the same crowd you
have here, set up a dreadful wall of
woe over there. They prophesied dire
things. We would never pay for the
plant-it would break the city-we
would never be able to use all that
current"-that we were plunging the
city into a big debt-mortgagin the
future, etc. It was pointed out to
these dear old cave jewellers Of our
Commercial Club that the plant would
finance itself from its earnings. Now
our Commercial Club would never
have fought this power plant if it
had not been threat against the
power trust and its sacred COW of
profits"
When a paper roasts the stuffing
out Of public ownership of power
plants and in the same issue carries
a full page advertisement of the
power people, even the most dense
mind can grasp the significance Of
such propaganda. A little Stone
Webster weekly paper referred to me
the other day as having "a: selfish
purpose" Within the past week l

money travelling to points where I
might speak on this power question

won in the fight. would get moth
ing. But that little weekly paper
regularly carries high priced paEar
trust advertising. The editor draws
his inspirations and his living from
the same source. ] don't. That is
the difference between US.
Build your Wynooche plant. FL
nance It as you have arranged. You
can pay for it without costing the
taxpayers a dollar. 1t will prove to
be the greatest asset you ever owned
or could own. Hydro power is the
most valuable asset we possess in
this nation. Aberdeen can have
share in this priceless treasure. The
one-Webster trust is grabbing for
it. They are preparing to spend SIX
MILLION DOLLARS right away-to
improve" their service here IN this
section Of the state. This Improve
