FRANK LINDBLAD ENDORSES
POWER DISTRICT FORMATION

Frank Lindblad, candidate for the
post of power commissioner, a long
time resident of this county, who was
in town yesterday stated in no un-
certain terms that he believed that
if this county were to vote down the
proposed power district it would be a
direct slap in the face of the admin
stration which has made the building
of the Grand Coulee dam reality.
In continuing Mr.. Linblad SAID,
81 How could we expect our congress
men to overcome the opposition of the
EASTERN congressman for the alloca-
ton of more funds for this project,
if we indicated our refusal Of the dis
trict that we. living right in the cen
ter of the benefited area did not our
selves want the power that was being
given especially to usf Securing of
additional funds for the dam s com
pletion would indeed be difficult
task for Them"

TELLS OF STAND
AGAINST POWER DISTRICT

Why Should We Vote for BIG
FEES, for Promoters, Bond Banker.
Lawyers, and Engineers?
The people who have benefited
most from the Public Utility District,
so far are New York bond banker
named Guy c. Meyers; Tacoma en-
gineer, and Seattle lawyer. These
are the ideals" they are making:
Guy Meyers has contracted with
the districts already formed to sell
ali their bonds at 2h % commission.
If all the counties in the State were tn
form districts and issue bonds, Meyers
could make $2,50O,OO0 in commits
sions, and the money comes out of
the pockets of the people in the end

cheering work, and Seattle lawyer
is being hired for their legal work
Up to July 81, according to available
records, 15 p. U. DIS had paid out
$4,000 in lawyers and engineer Is
salaries and expenses without selling

to anything wrong with the IS P.U.
DIS of this State. They have been
honestly, carefully and frugally man
aged. Salaries to attorneys and engin-
GERS have been modest. Their only
fault is that they have spent some
money necessarily in carrying out
powers conferred by law. Compare this
record with that of the Power Trust,
with it's high sadaried executives, its
expenditures of vast sums for propa
ganda, its extensive subsidies to
chambers of commerce, etc., to con-
troll public opinion, it's costly Hobbies,
etc. P.U.D. will do great service
to the country if it can clean these
Augean stables.
4. P.U.D. will give you control
over your power business. The district
commissioners will be elected by the
people. They have no more power
than is conferred upon County Com
missioners and other officials, There
is no control whatever over the Power
Trust. If it wants to pay salaries as
high as $4,000 a year, or create new
holding companies, or increase its
rates, or greatly overvaluate its stocks
ard bonds and charge rates based up.
OF watered stock, you, Mr.. Taxpayer,
have nothing to say about it.
S. Public ownership of power will
remove 3 deadly obstacle to the de.
velopment of this state, blessed aus il
is, with tremendous water power re-
sources. Through it's relentless oppo-
sition to Grand Coulee dam, the Power
Trust blocked the development of the
Columbia Basin Project for many
years So long as this great concentra
ton of wealth dominates the power
business of our state, we will have
to fight every inch of the way to d.
anything that may threaten the in
flated rate structure of the privat,
! electric utilities.
vote for P.U.D. is a vote for pro
eress; vote against P.U.D. will b,
vote against every interest of Gran
County and the State. We are con
fldent that you, Mr.. Taxpayer, will
vote for Progress.
Vote also for Archie Zichler, San
Dean and Frank Lindblad for rowe
district commissioners. We have ez
amined their record and can entrus
to them this great responsibility.

To The Water and Power Consumer
Of Grant County:
Elect r. A. (Bob) Mummy for
Power Commissioner, Qualified in
Electrical Field, and Public Owner
ship of Utilities.
Public Ownership means just this
that the individual home owner can
purchase the power for his necessity
at the lowest rates ever placed before
the people of Grant County.
Please compare the rates you are
now paying with the following rates,
per XVIII.
Bonncville--Min. Bill, SOC; 40
XVIII. 100: 100 XVIII, 2.25; ESQ XVIII,
Ats; 500 XVIII 6.25.
When you elect your commissioners
to help control your own power this
will keep the revenue derived from
the cost Of power In this county, and
prohibit the huge profit to the non
resident utility companies, which is
an enormous amount and is taken out
of this county every fiscal year. by
the enormous rates you are now pay
ing for power, and which you should
control And the natural resources
which belong to you and you only,
will be controlled by your own Power
District
With regard to taxes, the county
power utility district may be financed
either through a two-milf, tax levy pr
through utility bond as paid by the
earnings of power sales, not from gem
eral taxes.
As you have read in folders and
magazines, public attack has been
made against the Power District and
it's power commissioners, ais to it's
management, and that the commits.
tioners are mainly men conspicuous
III small town politics and farmers
prominent in Grange activities, who
know nothing about the power bust
ness.
The people of Grant county will
answer this attack, November 8th,
when thty cast their ballot for the
Power District and the power COM
missioners they choose to take care
of this obligation.

PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
IS BACKED BY ORANGES

Five Good Reasons For Voting Yes
on the Grant County Public Utility
District:
The purpose of the Pomona Grange
is to present the true Facts to its
fellow citizens. The Power Trust oper-
ating behind dummy leagues, is spend
ing thousands of dollars to defeat
P.U.D. Unable to present sound argu-
ments on the real issue, it spreads
fear among the taxpayers. P.U.D.
should be formed for these reasons
1. A vote in favor of P.U.D. is a
vote in favor of carrying out the
President s program for the develop
nlent of our sections. The Federal
government is now committed to the
expenditure of $5OO,OO0,0OO for
Grand Coulee, Bonneville, and the ir-
legation Of the Columbia Basin lands.
1t is building great power lines to
make vast power from these two dams
available to the people at u reason
able price and to help pay for the
investment. Without a. market for
power, irrigation will not be feasible.
At power trust prices, this
power cannot be sol d.
A vote "No" is a vote in favor Of
the program of the Power Trust to
discredit and destroy these great de-
velopments. Shall you, Mr.. Taxpayer,
vote for or against this magnificent
program and the millions of dollars
that must yet be secured9
2. P.U.D., in distributing the pow
er from the Bonneville Grand Coulee
100000 volt line, will cut your pow
er bill in two, Mr.. Taxpayer, making
cooking, heating, refrigeration and ir
rigation feasible. Industry will spring
up. Our latent mineral resources will
be developed. With irrigation anc
cheap power, our region will be &
great magnet to settlers. Profits now
going to Wall Street will remain al
home. When P. U. D. has paid for its
investment, financed entirely through
the sale of power, the rates will agar
be reduced. The Power Trust never
liquidates it's capital investments bu
it s high rates 60 on forever. In Ia
coma you can today buy ESQ kilowatt
hours for nearly one half the cost il
Spokane and Tacoma will have it
plant all paid for in 1854. The take
collected by P.U.D. to get in opera
ton amount to less than 10 per cen
of your light bills.
| 3. P.U.D. will take the power bust
less out Of politics. "Power Politics
have debauched our public life. Til
Power Trust has been unable to poin
