thing, but, as usual the main issue is
mixed up with several secondary ones.
For example, the power companies
unquestionably hope to shut off the
High Point power project, already de-
layed by them for many months by
court fights. The Supreme Court has
already held that, fundamentally, the
project is a perfectly legal one, but
the power companies fight right on.
+. They are a SO undoubtedly opposed
to a great deal of municipal compe
tition which is perfectly Legitimate
but which they hope to be able to
stifle by whatever means come to
hand. They have lobbied hard, are
lobbying hard and will continue to
lobby hard.
On the other side of the picture, the
municipalities aren't altogether inno-
cent of selfishness.
Much of the opposition to the "con-
venience and necessity" cause comes
because the municipalities are now
having regular 'pig in clover" feast
in the power business. Some of them
not only serve their own citizens, but
operate in three, four or even more
different counties. With revenue de-
rived from those outside counties, to
which they pay absolutely no taxes.
the municipal officers are able to
keep their local tax rates down., some
thing which is the ideal of every poll
tician who wants to stay in power.
What these municipalities fear isn's
that they wouldn't be able to get the
certificates but the effect it would
have if they should ever be forced to
reveal details of their operations, not
that they should ever be forced to
reveal details of their operations, not
that they are dishonest or irregular,
but that they would have to pay taxes.

about a great power lobby which
has been fighting for this clause.
But even then there are, it seems,
litera ly thousands of folks who still
don't know what all the shooting 5
about, so an effort to put the issue
in simple language is probably not
amiss
Fundamentally, it's the old, old
battle between those who believe in
public operation of utilities and those
who feel that private industry can d.
the job better, and behides has al
ready acquired something of veste l
right in the matter by being the pre-
sent operator.
Those who dom want the clause il
are convinced that any municipality
that wants to do SO has a perfect
right to go ahead and set up its own
power system, no matter whether "a
private industry is already in the field
or not. If the private utility suffers,
they feel, that's just too bad. They
don't think any State body should be
permitted to say whether or no..
there is a need for additional service.
Those who do want the clause be-
lieve that private companies which
have invested their money in power
systems and are giving adequate SER
vice should be protected against in
discriminate .,haphazard entry into
the field on the part of municipalities,
which pay no taxes and thereby can
quite readi y put the private concern
out of business.

ways"
So far, commissioner and governor
have certainly seen walking arm and
arm, so to speak; but there are those
who are wondering just how much
further down the road they'll stroll
together.
Commissioner. Maxwell has come
out strongly and unquivocally against
diversion. Governor Hoey hints at
the same stand in his ALLEGATION state
ment, but still doesn't announce him
self as a fully-baptized convert. H
came within an "as possible" of do
ing it, however, when he said: '"Tho
money has been paid by those who
operate motor vehicles and they ar
entitled to habe this money app led a!
fully and completely AS POSSIBLE
Capitals ours) to the betterment o.
the highways"
That "as possible" makes the Hoey
position slightly ambiguous, bu'
there seems to be no question that he
is approaching the status of an anti
diversionist.
Another angle is the possib effect
of the governors views on the 194G
gubernatorial candidacy of Mr.. Max
well. So far, it would seem a safe
assumption that the Maxwell chances
have been materially boosted.

: In short, the municipalities don't
want anybody to know anything
about their power business. They
won't give the State REA details now.
They don't want to be forced to give
the utility commissioner any data.
They are scared stiff that somebody
will wake up to the fact that here's
a good source of tax revenue which
is now escaping taxation. And there
are many honest people, not power
lobbyists by any means, who feel that
municipalities which spread out into
business in territory other than their
own should pay the tax collector just
like any private business.

About what percentage Of returns can we
expect from our purchases
The amount distributed in re turns depends
upon several things. After TIE total a.
mount of savings has been determi ned.
most cooperatives set aside subst antial
reserve for expansion and then di stri butte

the policy of most Boards OF Directors to
pay from g, to So re turns and If there is
still fund left over, that indi to
them that prices can be reduced. This
lowering Of prices instead of distrib but
ing so much in returns is known as an
"active price policy". It is prevalent
In Sweden where cooperetives set flair"
price for all Gus toners in Sweden whether
