Let's KEEP Electric Rates Low!
A small group, now directing most of
its fire from Atlanta, is campaigning vig
orously to induce Georgia cities to go into
the electric light and power business, They
are spreading the usual stories designed to
lead the puih’c into thinking that rates
would be much lower under city owner
ship. , {
Rates of the Georgia Power Company
are already among the lowest in the na
tion— 29.1% below the national average!
I‘lnd the national average includes the rates charged by municipal
plants, ; ; .
What will hapfen to these low rates if cities go into the elec
tric business—if electric light and power begin to get under po
litical control?
* * * *
In a recent study made of electric rates charged both by mu.
nicipal and privately-owned plants, it was shown that if all the
customers of private systems had paid the average rates charged
by the city-owned systems, the nation’s bill for electric service by
private companies would have been 421/5% higher than it dctually
was! | :
If customers of city-owned plants had paid the average rate
paid to private companies, they would have saved over §533,000,-
000, ; k
In spite of that, agitators would try to make you believe that
municipal ownership and low rate 3 go hand in hand.
Right here in Georgia is their answer. In the past several years,
this Company has taken over the electric service of a number of
communities which formerly had municipal operation. In every
single instance, rates have been materially reduced. And the quality
of service has been improved, too. .
- e ¥ -
Let's take a look at the very cities promoters of city- ownership
hold up as models.
Jacksonville, Plorida, they say, has one of the most successfully
operated plants in all America.
JACKSONVILLE'S AVERAGE RATE PER KILOWATT
HOUR OF ELECTRIC ENERGY SOLD IS 105% HIGHER
THAN THAT OF THE GEORGIA POWER COMPANY.
Jacksonville’s average rate is 45.5% ABOVE the national
average — this Company’s average rate is 29.1% BELOW It,
And the Jacksonville plant pays NO taxes to city, state or fed
eral government.
+ The Georgia Power Company, in 1930. paid a total of $1,743,.
809.00 in taxes on its ¢lectrical department alone!
They point to Seattle, Washington — another example of city
ownership.
A recent newspaper article published in Atlanta said in part:
*. .. .. last year the average rate for all current sold by the
Seattle plant was 1.784 c per kilowatt hour.”
The Seattle plant, also, pays NO taxes—to city, state or fed
eral government,
This Company does not object to paying its just share of taxes
—but allowance must be made for taxes, of course, in any true
comparison between this Company’s tax-paying service and Seattle’s
non-tax-paying service. ;
If taxes were deducted from this Company’s operating expenses

supply of the world are slower
than the increase in the world’s
trade and industry served by gold
as money.” ]
“Gold is) no more the cause of |
the present world depression than ‘
silver, but it may have a good
deal to do with its duration, In
stead of wasting time on things
it cannot affect by its legislation,
the U. S. Senate might more care- l
fully investigate the many poli
cies which it originates itself and
which have had a real signifi
cance in affecting the depth and
contintance of the present trade
depression. Our falling price-lev
els under the gold standard and
our unwillingness to collbaorate
with the bank for international
settlements, our tariff policy and
our simultaneous insistence on the
payment of heavy debt settle
ments—all these are interdepend
ent, and each and every one de
mands reconsideration in view of
the changed economie position of
the United States since the war.
With the apparent success of
the Soviet system and the gigan
tic employment in capitalistic
countries, we cannot continue to
blunder at the center of things.
We need a policy based on a clear
recognition that capitalism both
in its money and in its markets
‘and sources of supply is a system
of international independence.
An intelligent capitalism should
rapidly strengthen the interna
tional institutions which should
govern their velationships, and
!from that standpoint nothing
more inimical to our present in
stitutions can be imagined than
the present Washington attitude
tcwards the Leagu: of Nations
land the International Bank.”

PrESIDEN®,
Company, comparing favorably with any in the nation, apply
uniformly to more than 400 communities spread over an area of
45,000 square miles, reaching from the mountains to the sea !
Rates of this Company have been steadily reduced for years,
as the use of electricity and the number of customers served have
increased.
In making electricity it is the big volume and the diversity of
uses that brings the cost of production down. And after all, rates
are absolutely dependent on the cost of making the current and
delivering it to our customers. That's true in Seattle, Jacksonville,
your community or unywhere else, under city or private ownership,
Georgians, in small towns as well as the big cities, are enjoying
low electric rates because the Georgia Power Company 1S a big
system — practically statewide in its service. Just as “mass produc
tion” made automobiles cheap, so has it made electricity cheap,
Pooling of the electric business of 400 Georgia communities in one
system, with a large number of customers and greater diversification
in use of the service, is what has made possible very low rates in
the cities and the same “big city” rates in the small towns, too
; e B .8 A :
So, every customer and every community served by this Com-
Kzny is interested in seeing that this advantage is not taken away.
unicipal ownership in one or more cities is no longer strictly a
local matter, It affects the rates in every community on the system.
Only with a big system can big jobs be done—and big jobs
need to be done in Georgia to bring our state its fair measure of
wealth and prosperity.
Take, for example, the pioneering job of extending electricity
to the farms, In 1930, the increase in electrified farms in Georgia
was far above the national average increase. What could happen to
this activity if the Company’s statewide system were split up and
city ownership became the rule? »
. * * * *
Consider this matter seriously. Think how the movement for
city ownership —if successful — would affect your electric service
and your electric rates. What would it mean to Georgia — especially
to the small towns and the farms of Georgia?
Ask the promoters of city ownership to give you ALL the
facts—not just the pretty-sounding parts. ,
