WRIT TEN
SURVEY

Further evidence of the CO.
operation between the power
trust and colleges was revealed
at the Federal Trade Commits
sion power propaganda investi-
cation today.
Turning its attention again to the
Far. West, the commission learned
that a committee on the relation
of electricity to agriculture was
organized in 1925 under the spon-
sorship of the agricultural college
of Idaho DIVERSITY. The committee
was supported by the electric l.
terests.
w. r.. Putam, treasurer Of the
committee, and general manager or
the Idaho Power Company, testl-
fled the electrical organization con-
tributed S4,79253 to the committee,
$1,000 of which was later REIN
bursed by the Northeast Electric
Light ad Power Association.
Eduipment used for demonstra.
ton purposes to the value OF $4,0UO
was furnished the committee, he
said. No contributions other than
those from electrical interests were
-
shown.
The committee prepared survey
of power costs in Idaho, Putnam
said. A copy of the. committees
report showed that power could be
bought more cheaply from the
giant utilities companies than
from rural mutual or municipal
power plants.
Distributed BY Bureau
"The organization OF mutual com.
pa MES to build and operate mutual
distribution lines has been tried IN
an attempt to decrease the cost OF
distribution" one report declared.
ct may be pointed out that pos
sibiIities along this line are limited.
While it is entirely possible for such
a company to operate with rates
which appear to be materially below
corresponding rates charged by the
public utilities, the real cost to the
consumer Will be nearly as high in
one case as the Other"
The committee which brought out
the report, it was shown, was under
the direction of Prof. \. r. Lewis,
of the Idaho University faculty,
working in collaboration with other
faculty members.
Results of the power survey, Put
nam testified, were given publicity
by the f. Hofer and Sons News
Bureau, of Salem, Areg., an organi-
zation with more than 10000 news
paper clinets.
Putnam stated the Idaho com
mittee had it's origin in a national
move. He denied, however, that the
committee was formed with the
purpose Of making contacts with
farmers and college professors for
the power trust.
Mrs. Claire X. Trip, director of
the Washington Industries Educa-
ton Bureau at Seattle. testified her
orga nization distributed II different
monographs in Washington public
schools, one of which dealt with
the subject of power.
Mrs. Trip said the income Of
her bureau was about $500 month
Evidence presented show that since
March the Oregon utilities intor-
nation bureau contributed 500
monthly to this bureau. The con.
tribution was designated by Mrs.
Trip as a membership fee."

Dispatches from China indicate that Feng
Yu-hsiang, the christian general" may
emerge shortly as China's Strong man." If
he does, his activities as ruler of the Chinese
will be worth watching.
That would not only be because China, for the
first time would be ruled by Christian-al-
though that fact. in itself, would be sufficiently
startling. But Feng. in many other ways, is
quite forward-looking individual. He is
tinged with good deal of our occidental eff
ficiency and love of order.
His soldiers are the best drilled and dis
ciplned in China. He establishes factories,
wars on profiteers, tries to ameliorate poverty
by providing employment, plans to develop
China's tremendous natural resources of oil,
iron. coal and timber. If he should ascend to
power it might be that he would do much to
make China a united prosperous nation. At
any rate, his efforts along that line would be
highly interesting.
