TRUST LINED Up
SMALL own
EDITORS

Power propagandists lined up
editors in towns and small cities To
support their fight to put city
owned gas and electric plants out
Of business It Is shown In Federal
Trade Commission documents.
A letter from the files Of the
Missouri propaganda bureau BY y.
r, Sheridan, director, to "a ".
Wainwright, operating vice presi-
dent Of the Inland Power and Light
Corporation, st. Louis. said:
'.The Central Missouri Press A.
ISOLATION will convene at Warsaw,
Mo-, July SO. This association
covers great deal OF the territory
OF the Missouri Public Service Com.
pany south Of Pleasant Hill, and
some cities which have municipal Ivy
owned plants which appear to offer
some possibilities for private owner
ship. That Is, editors of news
papers III some of the towns which
have municipal plants have told me
that they would like to see them
privately owned.
Meet Editors
ut may be that you would like
to have Mr.. Leslie or some other
member of your organization meet
editors who publish newspape IN
many cities in the territory served
by your properties in West Mis-
souri,.
Il plan to attend this meeting,
and can give such a represen-
tive some good introductions.
Wainwright repiied:
I'VE think It will be highly de-
sirabIe for Mr.. Leslie TO attend and
do some work in connection With
eliminating the municipality owned
plants"
10 convention of New Mexico
utilities execu lives, George n.
Lewis, Rocky Mountain pr1pagaIl-
dist, gave this counsel:
Only BY cuItivating the friend
ship and confidence Of the press
during calm times will you be able
to invoke aid and cooperation dur
ing times OF stress. When you go
back home remember this.
And keep on remembering 1T.
1t may save you thousands Of dol
lars, it may gain you q franchise,
1T may absolutely save your prop
erty TO you some time.
Public Ownership
Public Service Magazine, largely
owned by the utilities, which also
finance It's circulation. attacked
0nfario's public ownership 50
strongly as to draw protest from
Arthur w. Stage. Michigan propa-
gandist.
The critical article took q fling
at League OF Women Voters
literature on power, and set off
against this study BY Prof r..
IA. Stewart, the cost of which was
borne by power companies. Stage
wrote Al. G.. Marshall. vice pres
ident Of the Detroit Edison Conn
pany:
.aThe reason am writing to
you IL to call attention to the
tone Of the article. This Ii de-
cidedIy ilndipIomatic and wanting
in ordinary tact. 1T employs ridi.
Guile rather clumsiIy, and It's re-
action on the really intelligent,
cultured and earnest membership
Of the League of Women Voters
might be like that induced by
sinking barb into the flank
Of peacefully slumbering bull
and then waving red flag in
front Of its eyes.
May request that q letter
from you as chairman Of the
Michigan committee might serve to
awaken the editor to the danger Of
handling delicate subject such as
this in a manner provocative OF
an unreasoning presentment, which
might set in motion the very
crusade we are seeking to avoid. !"

Edward Grieg--tte grand old man
