SOCIALISM IS NEVER CHEAP

Cheap government electric power is
a myth and a deliberately contrived
myth which is being used in the long estah-
lishad effort to socialize all the power
producing and distribution facilities of
the United States.
The reasons why cheap power is a
myth are many And one of the most i'm
portant is the tax factor. The government
POWER systems, in addition to being tax
subsidized are wholly or largely tax free
Thevprivate utilities, by contrast, are one
of the biggest taxpayers in the country, to
city. county, state and Federal govern
ment.
One of the leading West Coast utility
companies provides an excellent specific
example. Last year, this company paid
more than $40,00O,000 in Federal, state
and local taxes. That is an average of
$1f0,351 every day in the year-and 3d.
598 for every hour of the day.
What this means to local government
is especially impressive. In California, the
=
state IN which the utility operates, there
are So counties. The company pays taxes
in a8 of them. In four counties its tax is
over SO per cent Of the total-in other
wogds, it pays more than all other taxpay-
ers combined. And in several other coun-
ties it pays between 25 and so per cent of
the total
It doesn't take an economist to figure
out what would happen to the taxpayers
in every state if the government, instead of
private enterprise, were supplying cleo
triS service. Taxes would go up all along
the line-often by huge percentages. And
the alleged Saving" in the electric bill
would be offset many times over by the
jump in the tax bill.
Socialism is never cheap. You pay for
it through the nose in one way or another

BALTIMORE -(P).-Now for
the story of a really fancy bit of
knavery:
Taxi-Driver Andy Pulver pick
ed up passenger who was lug
ging beer case. The fellow said
he was going to have a gay night,
and he directed Pulver to take
him to two addresses-each of
which he said was the home Of a
girl friend
AT the first stop, the passenger
asked Pulver to change a ten
spot. Puiver counted out ten
ones. AS he reached around for
the ten, the passenger grabbed
the ones and fled. !2i]s.isi4
Then Pulver Remembered the
beer caise--not worth $40 bit per-
haps he could recover ;sofnet thing
Pulver found, that the case con
tanned some bricks..sgs s4ss !

LAUREL DEFEATS HARDIN
49-4I IN CONFERENCE GAME

With a weave offensive working
to near perfection and Dantic con
tinuing his performance from the
night before by sinking Is points
Laurel out-pointed the Hardin
Bulldogs 49-41 in a hard fought
game last Saturday night on the
Laurel court. During the first
half the locals had an uncanny ac-
curacy at finding the hoop, as they
made IL baskets out of % tries.
The evening started out with
Laurel holding a slim 1910 lead
at the end of the first quarter.
Then Laurel let go, sinking Is
points while holding the Bulldogs
to 10 as the weave got into high
gear, netting the locals several
lay-up shots. With a 27-20 lead
at half tine, the Locomotives
widened their lead to 9 points at
the end of the third quarter, the
score reading 37-28. The Bulldogs
then unlashed a fourth quarter
rally which found them only 8
points behind at the peak of the
rally. Then the loss Of three start
ers via the foul route ended the
spirited rally. The three to be
elected by having five personals on
them were Haug, Medicine Tail
and Jabs. With the score standing
40-37 in favor of Laurel with but
a few minutes remaining in the
contest, baskets by Sorg and Dan
tic cinched the win.
Laurel cooled off in the second
half in shooting accuracy and got
a game average of SO per cent on
field goal tries and 6S per cent on
completing II out of 25 free-throw
attempts. Hardin made 80 per
cent of field trys, while making
good 65 per cent of the time in
sinking 10 out of 20 attempts at
the foul line.
In the preliminary contest the
Cabooses rolled owe the Hardin
'B" to the tune of 62-34. After
building up a 1919 first quarter
lead, the Cabooses couldn't be
stopped as they went on to win.
Two Cabooses topped the double
numbers in scoring, the duo
being Rider with II points and
with 10 markers. High
for Hardin was Collier with IL

LAUREL TO FACE HARDIN,
BIG TIMBER THIS WEEK END

The Laurel squad has hit mid
season stride now, as it's offense is
beginning to really click and its
defense is standing staunch against
the opponents attack, a weakness
which continually plagued Laurel
in previous games. But the locals
will really be tested in the next
week as they have to meet three
conference opponents, two of the
games to be staged on foreign
courts. First on the schedule is a
game Friday, Feb. 8, with the Har-
din Bulldogs on the Bulldog court.
Laurel will place a seasons record
OF seven won and 10 lost against
last years state class B champions.
In conference games, however, the
Locomotives have played eight
games and have won five while
losing three to Billings Central.
On the night following the Hardin
mix, Laurel will return to the
homecourt to entertain the Big
Timber Sheepherders in another
conference tangle. Laurel defeated
the S~heepherders in an earlier con-
test 1922 in Big Timber. Both of
these games are to be preceded by
preliminaries between the B squads
of the schools concerned.
Next Wednesday night, Laurel
will journey to Red Lodge to meet
the Coyotes in another conference
affair. The Carbon county play
ers to hold a winning jinx
their small floor, but the locals
will be out to make it two wins
