NO MAGIC IN GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
EKIALTER 4. MAY of the Portland Genera

TT7ALTER r. MAY of the Portland General
w Electric Company of Portland, Ore, recent
y pointed out something that should be lf-evi-
dent to all, when he said: "There is no magic in
governmental construction or operation of electric
resources that will produce power for the industry
or small consumers cheaper than comparable pow
er can be produced by private enterprise. Private
enterprise for fifty years has provided increasing
ly more dependable electric power at progressively
lower costs and during that time the gov
ernment has neither financed nor subsidized the
research and laboratory work that accompanied
the growth of this public service now so intimately
identified with the progress of America. In other
words, private enterprise has, without govern
ment aid, heretofore brought the electric utility
to it's high estate as nearly universal public ser
vice, at cost within the reach of nearly ALL Elec-
trio power is one of the cheapest commodities in
this modern world"
There are several things, however, that gov
ernment can do in the electrical field that the law
denies to private enterprise 1t can take the money
of all the people to build power plants to serve a
limited area-as it has done in the Southeast, the
Middewest and the Pacific Northwest. 1t can de-
clare these immensely expensive projects tax free
thus deprivng states, counties and municipali-
ties of the millions in taxes that would be paid by
private utilities of comparable size. 1t can provide
certain services 'free," such the mail frankng
privilege, which private business must pay for
And, finally, it can charge off much of the cost of
power development to flood control, navigation ir-
rigation etc. thus making it next to impossible to
discover the true cost of government electric pow
er.
Think of this the next time you hear of "cheal
government power" 1t is Cheap because tax
money is used to subsidize it, and because it en-
joys immunity from the tax collector who takes
about Is per cent of every dollar received by pri
vate utilities. Government could sell Cheap" in
surance or cheap" groceries or Cheap" clothing
the same basis 1t isn't hard to sell things cheap
or give them away when you can mortgage the re-
sources of nation or attach" the public pocket
book to raise money or pay losses.

Russian weakness may account for

One account is that more than half
