We doubt seriously that legalizcd salcs here

We thus, stick by our original statement that y

OFF THE RECORD
(Reprinted From Jan. Is, 1862 Issue
OF The Lancaster News)

\NcPFinteo from Jan. 20, 1907 Issue
Of The Lancaster News)
OPERATION FAIR PLAY: 1t is moi
often that this newspaper takes issue
with advertisers in its columns but we
feel there should be some further dis
cuSSlon of the advertising and publ
city campaign which has been con-
Quoted in the past two months by the
20 rural electric cooperatives in South
Carolina.
The purpose of the campaign is
perfectly plain. The co-ops want the
General Assembly to pass law in the
current session allowing them to con-
tlnue serving customers in areas that
outgrow the present $500 population
limitation or become annexed to an
adjacent town or city.
Passage of such an act would place
ire co-opS III direct competition with
the electric power company holding
the franchise to serve these towns and
cities. 1t also brings up squarely the
issue OF taX-eXempt, governments
sponsored operations versus taX-pay-
ing private enterprise
10 meet this issue or, rather. to con-
fuse 1t, the South Carolina GOODS en-
gagged Columbia advertising and
pubic relations firm to handle the
campaign. The first ad of the series
was placed in weekly newspapers in
the state during the week of Decem-
Der 10. 1t contained this statement:
Electric co-ops in South Carolina
pay over Sl,OUO,OOO in taxes each
year. Commercial power suppliers en-
Joy the same tax exemptions on rural
lines that are enjoyed by electric
co-opS.'

only way that the Cover ST 900, 900
inquire could be reached was through
the inclusion of the state tax on the
sale of electricity, which is billed to
ana paid by the customers. The co-ops
merely act as agents in the collection
OF this tax and il is in no sense a levy
OF their operations.
RURAL LINES: The second part
of the claim: Commercial power sup
pliers enjoy the same tax exemptions
on rural lines that are enjoyed by
electric co-opS" is also a half truth.
All property of the co-ops is exempt
from taxes
Only the rural distribution lines of
commercial power companies built
since March %, 1915. are exempt
from taxes. This exemption covers
only rural distribution lines and does
not apply to power transmission lines
or rural Suu>tatonS. regardless of
When they were constructed.
Nowhere in the ads or publicity of
the coop campaign is there any men
ton OF income taxes or franchise
taxes. South Carolina electric GOODS
are also exempt from these important
sources OF state revenue.
THE JOB is DONE: The electric
co-operatlveS were created i'm South
Carolina to fulfill a real need. They
have done their Job well. ELECTRICITY
and power has been extended all over
the state to areas which would have
been Improbable for commercial
power companies TO serve. In so doing
they have made Christians of the big
power companies. But it must not be
forgotten that Federal money at low
cost and broad tax exemptions made
TINS accomplishment possible
The proposed bill to change the
state law would permit the co-op> to
keep on growing at the expense of
taN-paying commercial electric COM
panies. While this is unquestionably
the trend in the United States at the
present time, it is neither right nor
r|or"mical!r sound unless we are
headed toward some form of state
socialism.
We find cooperation Fair Play"
leading uS in the wrong direction. It
l. not necessary that electric co-opS
grow larger and stronger. They have
done their Job. And the Job is done.
