COTTONWOOD, Ariz.-(NRECA)
"A bare majority of Verda Electric
Co-operative's 383 members nipped
in the bud an attempt by the Arizona
Public Service Company to wipe them
out last month.
The little rural electric system at
Cottonwood, Ariz., beat down the
power company proposal to enter into
transportation agreement by mar
row margin of 207 to lit. The con-
sensus of opinion is that the power
company "Sell-out bud" will bloom
again in the near future.
In 1862, the coop defeated an Ari-
iona Power Company attempt to
force sell-out. That sell-out was
overwhelmingly defeated = 231-2.
NRECA General Manager Clyde T.
Ellis spoke at that meeting, urging
the coop members to assert their
rights of private cooperative owner
ship, and not to sell to the power
company.

dicted that the power company people

A Presidential Primary won't mean
the men the most people want will be

lions, but it will certainly give the
BOYS a good idea who we would like
best as competitors for the highest
office in the land. 1t brings the office
of President a little closer to the
people and it brings the day closer
when nominations for the Presidency
of the United States will be decided
by popular vote, l hope.

The top-income one-fifth of the
families received over two-fifths of
the total income in 1851. Although
this is smaller share, the increased
total income gives this group more
purchasing power than in 1889, when
it got 49% of the total. Some private
studies indicate that the top-fifth's
share may be increasing again since
1851.
The middle-income three-fifths of
the families gained greatly in both
the size of their share and in pur-
chasing power between 1899 and
1951.-NFU NEWSLETTER.

SAME PATTERN AS USED IN
WASHINGTON PUD SELL-OUT

Then followed the traditional let
tiers to the editor and the flood of
propaganda into the mails from the
power company's national propaganda
factories, and from the Citizens Com
mittee, which normally is financed
by the power company.
Willis Leenhouts, a small farmer
who has been in the rural electric
for only four years, struck telling
blow to the power company's sell-out
prospects. He did it with his own
money.

INDEPENDENT, Leenhouts produced
substantial evidence which sought to
prove that the rural electric systems
cash value was one million dollars.
Under the proposal, the Arizona Pub
lie Service Company would pay only
$525, 900.
Leenhouts said that he was pub
fishing the ad as a Christmas present
to the coop members, and urged them
to ignore the "Committee for Ex-
pediting the Lease-Purchase Agree
ment," which, he said, was attempting
to push the coop into hurried sale
without knowing the real value of
their property.
