The Bunk About
"The Tax Rolls"
(EDIToRIAL)

As one Of the steps in the campaign to undermine
the Port OF Seattle local newspaper is conducting
fervd attack the whole theory of public ownership
II charges that all public owned utilities are funda-
mentally bad. for the that they take property
off the tax rolls" They have so taken many millions
off in Seattle, II is charged. other millions elsewhere
IN this state The argument is that the load is thereby
saddled onto the general public.
Nobody but an ignorant man or man who wifuly
seeks TO deceive his audience would advance such
logic.
II any public utility is left in private hands and kept
on the tax rolls, what then? Why then the public is
charged rate, fixed by Olympia bureau at point
high enough to permit the company TO make profit
AFTER 1t has paid the taxes together with all oper
atng costs, etc. In other words to make the public
which the utility serves pay the taxes which the pub
lie treasury calls for II the same utility is publicly
owned these simultaneous operations of collecting and
receiving the tax money transferring an amount from
one pocket to the other is omitted by the utility That
is all the difference The public is neither richer nor
poorer for the change.
There are grounds for argument over the policy of
public or private ownership of any specific utility But
the tax rolf question is not one OF them.
In other words, il is unadulterated bunk. And Sc
attic Is getting very much 'fed up" that sort Of
material from the in question.
