need to plan and engineer a vast grid
throughout the Western States of
public power facilities.
'This would be a grand investment
in people, an investment which would
pay off many times over both in dol
lars and in better lives.
"Such a large-scale power grid
would not only be a really effective
'yardstick' for keeping private com
panies on their toes, but it would also
serve the people of the Western
States with uninterrupted, abundant
and low-cost power for the full de-

incidentally, 1 think that such a
grid should include few changes in
the formula for assessing benefits to

"What we must have is decisive

ductivity would cut the size both of
the budget and the national debt in
relation to national income, and in

proposes that by 1860 wages, salaries,

The hard money policy is roundly
scored in the Keyserling booklet. The
Administration, in following it, is
fighting 'the wrong economic enemies
at the wrong time with the wrong
weapons" he asserts, and in doing so
is 'tilting at windmills of an imagi-
nary general initiation, while pouring
oil on the fires of selective initiation
and water on the embers of selective
deflation.

out, "some industrial prices have been

Idaho Power pleaded it would

it is being allowed to relieve the
taxpayer all right; but in far diff
ferent sense, as we shall see.
''It would have ample financing if
allowed to charge the public more
than twice as much for the power as
that from the high dam would cost,
but of course there would be no pref
erence clause. This would put all rural
electric co-ops, municipalities and
other public bodies at the mercy of
the Idaho Power Company and its
concept of what the traffic would
bear.
NO SET-ASIDE FOR IRRIGATION
''Nor would there be any set-aside,
even at these high rates, to finance
irrigation projects, which otherwise
cannot be built since the farmers
cannot bear the full development
costs. And you know what a mighty
engine and arm to build the West
have been the public-power revenues
dedicated to building irrigation.
"a worse deal for the public has
never been conceived-the public
would do the paying, and the private
company would do the profiting.
''Yet it is this sort of an arrange
ment that this administration has
the cold gall to call partnership
and to hold up as an example for
other areas. Shades of Teddy
Roosevelt!
''But that is not all the story. Under
a policy of tax amortization, the pri-

''This is enough to pay for the high

ANOTHER RAW" DEAL IN
THE MAKING

THE MAKING
"As you know, a similar deal is in
the making for the great Trinity
River development in California. This
deal is so raw that even those from
that state who have complacently
stood for similar cozy arrangements
in the past, are revolted at this one.
Nor do | need to remind you that SINH
lar partnership arrangements are
made or contemplated almost every
where.
'The Interior Department may have
lost the body of Douglas Mckay, but
his spirit goes marching on!
"We must get back on the main
track, the track lined out, surveyed
and partly built so many years ago
by Theodore Roosevelt.
"The great Upper Colorado Basin
project, with all the benefits it will
bring to this area, is far from perfect
itself and far from doing the total
job that needs doing. Whatever its
engineering credibility, the Upper
Colorado project lacks the necessary
transmission lines for making its pow
er benefits available to the public.
without transmission lines to the
rural electric, municipal and other
load centers, the low-cost power de-
veloped in this project can be tapped
only by private interests. In the ex-
IRENE form, this means erection of |
5oll gates for private profit between
he public and the generators their |
AK money will build. Even in moder-
ate form, it means cutting the public
'ut of full benefit from development |
# their rivers.
'This policy of allowing a few
generators but no transmission
lines is also crippIing the upper
Missouri Basin and other areas. 1t
is like building a playground but
not letting the children through the
fence, or letting a private COM
pany charge an admission fee.
"And | am sorry to have to add
hat some of our Western congress
nen voted for the Upper Colorado
roject only after being assured by
he White House that it was to be
private project.
"The shortcomings of the present
over policy, as well as the private
buses of that policy, are not con- s
med to the Western States. They !
ave also hit the Northeast Nj ,

THE "GREATEST INSULT"
OF ALL

'Then comes the greatest insult of
all to the American people. The pri-
vate companies, with their tax amor
tization safely tucked away, buy full
page advertisements in the nations
newspapers and magazines to call
public power names and declare that
they-and they alone-are taxpaying
enterprises.
"And, finally, they deduct the
cost of the full-page ads from their
income taxes under the claim that
it is an operating expense. This is
not only insulting to the public,
but it is a fraud on the tax-payers
of this country.
81 am happy to be able to report
that Senator Estes Kefauver and a
few others in Congress are wise to
this practice and are trying to investi-
gate it. | wired Senator Kefauver a
few days ago that millions af dollars
spent by private power companies
on false and misleading advertising"
was beyond the jurisdiction of the
Federal Trade Commission and urged
him to bore into the whole monopoly
aspects of government subsidies to
private electric power companies"
''It is just possible that the odor
of these scandals will yet make some
body sick at the White House and in
a few more editorial offices.
