IF the public ownership zeoIots
have their way, socialism Of the electric
industry is going to be forced down the
throots Of the people, whether they like
it or not.
The Spokane, Washington, situo-
ton is cose in point. Spokane is close
to the governments greet hydro pro-
iect at Grand CouIee. About six months
ago proposal to establish publicly
owned utility district, including Spo-
kane and surrounding territory, to
distribute Grand Coulee power, wos
voted on. The electorate turned thumbs

to get onother election to include the

regulated. soeioIized system. >,
Be that as II may, the socialists, to
whom the will Of the people means little
or nothing, still hove onother shot in
their gun. It is the congressional bill
to create Columbia Vollsy Power
Authority. And thot bill, If enocted,
would be as long q step toward dicto-
torship as this country hos ever token.
The bill would give the Secretary
of the interior powers which can only
be described as czor-Iike. Every decis-
ion, offectine electric service ond voter
power in the greet Columbia VoIley
area would be loid down by Woshing-

rriotion which would enable its odmin-
istrotors to condemn and buy public
utilities in the Columbia oreo without
vote of the people, and hold hem until
such time as the people Of the vorious
communities could be persuaded to
toke them over. Thus, the bill would, in
effect, make socialism obligatory. II
would make q Federal bureau the su-
preme orbiter. And it would use the
money of all the people to gain its ends.
Thot bill will be up for considero-
ton soon. II should be understood for
what it is-o fotoI blow at local self
government, and an aggressive drive
toward notionol socialism.
