THE LETTER
Milford, Pike County, Pa,
May IL, 1928.
Mr.. Charles E. Taylor,
The Producers News,
Plentywood, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Taylor:
A matter of vital public concern,
just now being officially developed in
Washington, has almost entirely es-
capped public attention. l refer to the
attempt of the electric utility corpor-
ations to control and corrupt the sour
ces of public opinion in America.
The facts are being brought out by
the investigation of the electric trust
before the Federal Trade Commission
in the sworn testimony, correspon-
dence, and accounts of the electric
people. The investigation has disclos-
ed that not even the schools are safe
from contamination, and that every
possible method of reaching and dis
torting the judgment of the public
has been and is being used.
The purpose of this unprecedented
attack upon the schools, which are the
very foundations of democratic gov
ernment, and the other sources of pub
lie opinion is to create in young anC
old a bias against the effective pub
lie control of the electric monopoly
and especially agains tthe reduction
of the extortionate rates charged Il
small and moderate consumers O
electric current
The method employed is to blocl
with propaganda all the differen
avenues by which young people am
the public generally might learn tn
truth tbout the extortion, over-capi
talization, and monopolistic practice
Of the electric public utilities. Thi
propaganda begins, as the testimon
of utility men shows, with the eight
grade in public schools. From the1
it goes on into the high schools.
