Every time the lobbyists for federal "public power" push another government electricity project through Congress, you ate taxed to pay the ball You and other Americans have already been taxed about $5,500,000,000 to pay for federal "public power." That's how much has been taken out of taxpayers' pockets and put into federal power dame and plants in certain parts of the U.S. But that's just the beginning—if the federal "public power" lobbyists and pressure groups have their way. They want more of your tax money—slo,ooo,ooo,ooo more—so that government can take over a still bigger share of the electric business. Yet they must know that independent electric light companies like your own are ready and able to supply all the electricity the nation needs— without depending on your tax money. How can this needless spending of your taxes be stopped? As soon u enough people know what "public power" is really costing them, they will call a halt to it. The quickest way is to spread the word among your friends and neighbors. th. WEST PENN POWER Atemito THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.
