Another
conspiracy
Its
only
common
sense
hat
the
sole
justification
for
a
government
taking
over
the
production
and
sale
of
power
is
that
it
must
sell
power
at
low
rates
Power
at
cost
has
been
the
guiding
principle
of
all
successful
public
power
systems
Faithful
adherence
to
this
principle
enabled
Winnipeg
City
Hydro
now
part
of
Manitoba
Hydro
to
provide
the
cheapest
power
in
Nortli
America
at
an
average
household
rate
of
75
cents
a
kilowatt
hour
Seattle
City
Light
operating

same
principle

Ontario
Hydro
sells

for
less
than
one
cent
a
kilowatt
hour
So
docs
the
Edmon
Edmonton
�
ton
public
power
utility
These
are
a
few
of
many
cases
where
proper
operation
of
public
power
systems
has
brought
great
advantages
to
the
communities
they
serve
The
Bennett
idea
of
public
power
is
exactly
the
reverse
He
has
tried
to
use
it
as
an
instrument
of
personal
power
Already
his
perversion
of
the
proper
principle
has
backfired
It
has
created
a
nasty
mess
that
will
impose
a
heavy
penalty
on
the
BC
public
In
the
meantime
our
power
rates
remain
double
the
rates
charged
by
other
Canadian
and
US
public
power
systems
Prince
George
and
the
Central
Interior
badly
need
cheap
power
for
economic
expansion
Secondary
industries
that
we
could
establish
here
such
as
the
manufacture
of
certain
wood
products
when
the
US
and
Canada
complete
the
new
tariff
deal
now
being
negotiated
will
be
greatly
dependent
on
cheap
power
At
present
wc
can
offer
only
the
highest
electricity
and
gas
rates
in
North
America
something
which
will
drive
these
industries
elsewhere
That
is
the
disastrous
situation
we
face
because
of
Bennett
power
policies
Electricity
rates
must
remain
high
as
long
as
Bennett
policies
prevail
Gas
rates
must
remain
cxhorbitant
as
long
as
Bennett
favors
and
protects
his
friends
the
McMahons
Wcstcoast
Transmission
and
Inland
Natural
Gas
who
are
the
gas
monopolists
of
BC
We
will
establish
these
points
in
detail
in
due
course
Meanwhile
during
the
present
election
campaign
it
is
vital
that
every
thinking
person
in
the
Central
Interior
should
ask
himself
this
question
Why
should
I
vote
for
a
government
that
is
deliberately
obstructing
new
area
development
with
policies
that
create
prohibitive
rates
for
primary
