PRACTICABLE GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
The announcement by Secretary of the Interior
Wilbur of the allotment of power from the Boulder
Dam project and its practical acceptance by ail iniei
ests conceited marKs a practical step in governmental
paitiCipauon in business. By the Boulder Bam project,
the states of Arizona, Nevada and Caiixofiua become
possessed of a new agency that bids fair to bring the i a
turmg advantages. At tne same time the Federal gov
ernment retains power, whereby the beneficiaries of the
cine coast to a par with the East in point of manufae
power may not abuse the privilege by overcharging
consumers.
By the decision 50 per cent of the power is allotted
to California, of which 25 per cent goes to the Caiiior
nia Edison Company and 25 per cent to what might be
termed community demands, including such cities. as
Los Angeles as the center of the Los Angeles district,
and these smaller towns and cities which now generate
their own power but may desire to purchase from the
district allotment. Arizona and Nevada are allotted 18
per cent each. The government builds the dam and the
distributors of the power build the generating plants.
Thus the government becomes a partner in a great
enterprise rather than usurping rights that belong to
private energy by going into the power selling and dis
tributing business, entailing the creation of another
army of bureaucrats such as characterizes all govern
mental enterprises.
The first step in home rule for Alaska may be
achieved by the same method if our politicians will
utilize the same degree of intelligence as was shown by
those who were responsible for the Boulder Dam pro
ject and cease juggling with political machinery and
false promises.
