CITES IOWA CASE

He cited offers by the iowa City
Light and Power Company to its
electric customers to refund cash
on their bills if Iowa City would,
give UP plans for a municipal
power plant.
Speaking Of certain interests
that have attempted to put a stop
to the great work that is being
done," Ickes said:
'Why, it may be asked, have
the public utility lawyers fought
so hard to stop such enterprises
as this? The answer Is a very
interesting one, and exposes
the insincerity Of these legal
HesSians.
SAW MONOPOLY AID
cat the inception Of this prof.
ect, the private power COM
panies believed that they would
be able to purchase all Of the
electric energy generated and.
in turn, resell it to the people,
thereby entrenching their ex.
iSting monopoly. The expendi-
ture of public funds from the
Federal treasury for such a pur.
pose was regarded by the power
companies as neither improper
nor unconstitutional.
In Iowa City, he said, after the
city decided on a municipal power
system, the Iowa City Light and
Power Company suddenly dis
covered that it could cut its rates
considerably under what 1t had
been charging for a number Of
years."
INDIRECT BRIBERY
"For my part am convinced
it is worth something to a COM
munity to rid itself Of such a
sinister influence. How can any
community really be free when
a utility company dares openly
to offer a monetary conSidera-
tion for a political result.
Here is a brazen corporation
that wants to continue to be a
local monopoly, offering electric
current users some Of their own
money back, if only the citizens
will vote right The city authori-
ties are advised the utility COM
pany will accept an ordinance
o. its own choosing on c. o. D.
basis"
