Beard said the state provi
sion does not preclude em
ployees from seeking election
or appointment to positions of
non-partisan nature. In such
cases, however, state person
nel would be expected to dis
qualify themselves as to issues
where there is a conflict of in
terest or where service in a
local office would interfere
with performance of state dut

Beard said the same ruling

Our fifth president is famous for this
Monroe Doctrine. It protected new nations fronr
exploitation . . . insured established boundaries . .
protected our national interest.
America's rural electric systems wish there were a similar type
of doctrine in the electric utility business. Owned by five miliior
consumers, these rural electrics borrowed capital from the Rura
Electrification Administration, built lines to rural people who had!
no electricity. Today they make important contributions to the
economic and military strength of the nation by providing first
class electric service in areas commercial utilities would not serve.
Now their future is in jeopardy. With the spread of suburbs and
small industry to the open country, other power suppliers are try
ing to take over the more choice rural electric areas. When they
are successful, service to the more sparsely settled areas becomes
economically difficult.
Commercial utilities are often successful in taking these territories
because as legal monopolies they enjoy special powers and
privileges.
This is why rural electric systems in many states seek fair play
policies which will help maintain good electric service in all rural
areas.
