■ COMMENT
UMH *. DWIIHAt
Washington—As the 1956 Presi
dential and Congressional elections
approach you can be sure that the
advocates of public power will in- j
tensify their attacks on the private
enterprise system.
Already their campaign is pierc- j
ing the stratosphere of sound and
fury . . . and is gaining altitude’
and momentum.
In this situation it is encourag
ing to report that some of the de
fenders of the private enterprise
system are not idle. They are ex
plaining the real situation.
For example, th e only regions in
the United States where power re
serves are below normal anil where
public power shortages are impend
fcg are the Pacific Northwest and
the Tennessee Valley. These are
the regions, of course, in which the
Federal Government has been the'
dominating figure for the last)
Quarter of a century.
The frantic efforts of the public
power advocates for a Federal mo
nopoly of hydroelectric power pro
duction havp thwarted or delayed
the attempts of private enterprise
to meet the power needs.
But Federal development of pow
er requires money . . . and Con-1
gress, which represents all of tlie
people of the United States, has 1
been reluctant to appropriate the
amount that would be necessary if
the power needs of these regions |
were to be met by the Federal Gov
ernment.
During the last ten years, the ]
Pacific Northwest has had approxi-)
matelv tO'r of all of the money
that has been appropriated by.Con- [
cress for hydroelectric develop-;
ment throughout th e entire United j
States. This means that the peo- j
pie of the other forty-four states \
have paid taxes to help provide hy
droelectric power for this four
.“ote area.
It is estimated that approximate-:
ly ,$,000,000,000 will be required in ;
the next ten years to provide an
adequate power supply for the Pa- |
cific Northwest. This is an aver
age of $300,000,000 a year. Con- 1
gressional appropriations for the
last ten years, however, have av- j
eraged about $150,000,000 a year—
or half th e amount that will be re-;
quired in the next ten years,
As for the Tennessee Valley, j
funds have been sought for almost
ten years to continue the Tennessee |
Valley Authority expansion of j
gteam power plants—but even
Democratic Congresses have refus- 1
ed to appropriate the amount |
Urged.
Even so, more than 60 r ? of the
power produced by the TVA is now'
produced by steam. It is estimat
ed that seven years would be re
quired for Federal construction of
the desired projects if the money
were available.
But this question is being asked
• wn«S*^WV»
| RALPH e’pARRISH, Inc. I
fl 409 S. Broad St. PHONE 178 Edenton, N. C. I
more and more frequently; Why
should the Federal Government j
continue to build steam plants With
taxpayers’ money for the benefit of |
the people of the Tennessee Valley!
. . . and, if so, why shouldn’t it do
the same for every other area in
ths United States?
As for the charge by public pow
er advocates that any other meth
-1 od of producing power is a “give
away”, an effective reply is provid
’ed by Clarence A, Davis, Under
' Secretary of the Interior, Refer
! ring to public power advocates in
j the Pacific Northwest, he said:
( “I feel their progam Is the great
est ’give-away’ that has been pro
posed in this generation. They
propose to give away from this
region the right to control its own
economic destiny. They prefer to)
keep this region and all of its in
habitants standing with hat in
hand, asking political favor ami
pleading for appropriations from
an. all-powerful government in
Washington.
’’They plan to give away any
chance of the children of the
t Northwest to be able to develop
| their own resources, to map out
their own destiny, to establish their
own homes and to lead their own
lives, because they expect.to main-’
tain a complete federalization of
the electric power, the water, and
therefore, indirectly, the land of
this region.
I ."They are giving them into the
j control of a Congress of 435 metn
: hers, of which the State of Oregon
has four. They are giving them to
the control of a United States Sen
ate of 96 members, of which the
State of Oregon has two. They, are
giving them to an all-powerful bu
j reaucracy composed of people
