The Consumers Public Power District B& IM 5 W E sv! 3y The People .It is owned by the people of Nebraska. It is theirs, lock, stock and barrel. No ' idividual holds shares of stock in the Consumers district. No stock has been issued in connection with its operations. There are no dividends to be paid to any man, woman or child. It belongs to the peo ple, and whatever its earnings shall be in the years ahead, after it has liquidated its obligations incurred in its acquisition of property, AGAINST WHICH BONDS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, belong to the people of this state, and shall be applied to their beneficial use. There are many people who honestly, con scientiously, and fervently look upon public ownership with disfavor. In their view the private ownership, management and opera tion of all business and industrial activities in the United States embodies the spirit of the American way. But whatever difference of opinion may have existed upon that issue, honest differences of opinion, should be reconciled to the realities and to the facts. It is a fact that the Consumers district has taken over a sizeable chunk of the electric utilities of Nebraska. It is a fact that no individual has a fi nancial interest in that undertaking, and that whatever success may be made of it should be reflected in continued rate reductions, and in the application of whatever earnings may be realized to the public interest. In this state more than 100 Nebraska towns and cities own their own municipal lighting plant. This is public ownership on a larger scale. The Consumers district belongs to no in dividurl hut is the property of the people of Nebraska. / f Excerpt Lincoln Daily Star Editorial An Advertisement of The Consumers Public Power District Mr. and Mr*.
