Show PAGE EIGHT PROVO (UTAH) DAILY HERALD MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1939 Vi ( n A gin :Em Writer Discounts Payroll Argument Editor Herald: In their attempts to set a3ide the vote of the people on the rower Issue, the friends of the power trust use no arg-urnent more frequently than the "pay roll" ar- ?i;nnt. They Insist that the community cannot afford to "lose the pay roll of the Utah Power anJ Light, Personally I . cannot see how the community can afford to keep it at its present cost. There Is, I believe, a fundamen tal difference ' between a utility pay roll and other kinds. A utility pay roll comes ultimately out of the pockets of the people served by the utility. It represents no addition to the money of the community. It 13 paid for by the people -when they pay their monthly liht and power bills. When a utility puy roll is eliminated elimi-nated from the community income, in-come, it really means that the people keep the amount of the pay roll in their own pockets. A non-utility pay roll Is different. differ-ent. A pay roll like that of Columbia Col-umbia Stel adds money to the community. The Columbia Steel sella most of its products In distant dis-tant markets. Part of the proceeds pro-ceeds of such selling: comes to the employees of the local plant as a pay roll. Not a cent of it comes from monthly payments taken from the pockets of local people. It i3 entirely new money. The elimination of such pay roll would therefore be a complete economic 1-3. Implicit, therefore, in the favorite fa-vorite argument of the power interests is a stronsr case for municipal ownership of light and power. When the advocates of a private power company compare its larger pay roll with the smaller pay roll cf a proposed municipal 1 Lint, thy are really calling attention atten-tion to an item of community saving sav-ing through community ownership. The difference between the two pay rolls, under municipal ownership, owner-ship, remains in the pockets of tha people. And I believe that it may be successfully argued that money left in community pockets is better bet-ter for the economic life of the community as a whole than money taken from the community pockets and returned In the form of a pay roll. A pay roll spent in the community com-munity from which it Is collected r.ever redistributes Itself evenly Coming from many pockets it returns re-turns to relatively few. The community com-munity a3 a whole 13 impoverished impoverish-ed by the transfer. What Ls true of the pay roll is true of other so-called expenditures expendi-tures of a utility. Since an operating, oper-ating, utility has no source of income in-come except the sale of its service, ser-vice, whatever it spends in the area of its service comes from :he pockets of the people who ,'ive in that area. It is all ac-tcunted ac-tcunted for in the light and power bills paid by the people. So when the local Power Company lists as gifts to the community, its pay roll, -its rents, its taxes, its supply bills, its dividend payments it Is really listing part of what It costs the people to keep the Power company among them. .The people pay the $183,329 for labor, the J3.&30 for rent, the $6,000 for taxes, the $21,318 for supplies, the $16,333 for dividends These items are not. of t course, all the people pay. They pay also their share of a -fair relurn" on the capital Investment of the company.' com-pany.' an Investment watered tc the extent of $34,000,000. They pay their share of the millions cf "tribute paid to parasitic affiliates affil-iates of the company and to its mother holding companies. When the Power company lists its "gifts' to the community, it is really giving the x people a small notion of the money that they will keep in-their pockets when they begin to pay their monthly light and power bills at the windows of the municipal offices.
