ON POLITICS AND
LAWS REVEALED
Activities in Nebraska Are
Described in Letters of
Power Firm.
BY CECIL OWEN,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Po-
litical activities of Nebraska power
corporations, including a well
financed campaign to defeat NUM-
cipal ownership bills in the state
legislature, were disclosed in evil
dence before the federal trade COM
mission today.
Correspondence from files Of the
Nebraska section of the National
Electric Light Association, placed in
the record during examination of
Horace M. Davis, Lincoln, Neb.,
drew picture of the utilities cam
paign.
Davis, former director of utility
propaganda work in Nebraska, said
an average of $1,000 yearly was
spent to sidetrack measures in the
legislature which he considered
inimicaI to the power industry. He
admitted no record of political ex-
penditures has been preserved.
Contribute to Campaign
When Thorne Browne, former
Nebraska railway commissioner, was
running for reelection in 1926,
utility men conferred and decided TO
contribute to his campaign, Davis
said. After Browne was defeated
he was named to replace Davis.
In a letter to E. N. Willis, secre-
tary of the Southwestern Electrical
and Gas Association, under date of
Dec. Is, 10, 81, Davis said: "It is
probable our committee goes deeper
into politics than is customary"
Applying this in testimony, Da-
Wis admitted the utilities at various
times had lobbyists at the state
capitol to fight certain bills.
Writing j. B. Sheridan, st. Louis
power agent. Davis told him, in an
undated letter, 1--WE have just won
our big fight in the legislature, de-
feating wide open water power
bill. 1t will come up in chastened
and modified guise, almost innocu-
ous."
Davis Hard to Beat
Other letters of this tenor in
cluded one to A. w. Flor of the
Electric Bond and Share Company,
New York, in which Davis, on Sept.
4, 1928, described the Nebraska
political situation as "far from
pleasant" He added:
cit is highly probable that if our
present Senator Norris is a candi-
date for reelection it will be inn
possible to beat him. Norris and
Howell are two of a kind, but some
of our worthwhile and conservative
statesmen care to take the chance
to oppose Norris"

ton requiring all fruit on sale in
Valley stores. markets and roadside
booths TO be covered by screens will
