Who Ownr.
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
