Thurday, February 16, 1950 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Page Seven At Methodist Church Sunday Night The South Carolina Power com- pany, a privately owned taxpaying utility, and Santee-Cooper, a public ly owned non-taxpaying utility, will spend about the same amount of money for expansions this year. The company plans to spend $8,- 220,808; Santee-Cooper at least $7,- 500,000. Since the two concerns rep resent the difference between social ism and free enterprise, it is inter esting do compare where their money comes from, how they spend it, and ho wmuch the people of the state will benefit from the expenditures. Santee-Cooper will get its $7,500,- t)00 from the REA in Washington. The REA is supported by the tax payers. The taxpayers will furnish Santee-Cooper with the $7,500,000. The power company will get its $8,220,808 from private investors. Anyone who believes in the business wisdom of the expansion can become an investor by buying stock in the company. No one is required to be come an investor, and the taxpayers won’t be required to furnish a single cent. Santee-Cooper will spend its $7,- 500,000 to build unnecessary lines, paralleling existing lines of privately -owned power companies. These lines will not electrify a single farm, will t)ot. result in betteL service to any- i>ody and will not produce additional electricity. The power company will spend al most half of its money to build, new generators, to make more electricity available to people and industry of the state. The other half will go for improved distribution facilities, street lighting rural electrification, expansion ’’of gas distribution facili ties in Charleston and certain other items. . Santee-Cooper will pay no taxes on the useless lines it proposes to build. Indeed, the lines may drive' out of business the privately owned, taxpaying lines that Santee-Cooper will parallel. . - ■ The power company will pay tax es an every cent of equipment that it installs. The taxpayers will pay interest on the money which Santee-Cooper j borrows. If any interest is involved in mon ey spent by the power company, the power company will repay it. The people of South Carolina will not benefit one iota from Santee- Cooper’s latest project. It will plunge the nation deeper into debt. It will provide no taxes. It will furnish no new electricity. Contrast this with the power com pany’s plans—more electricity avail able for new industries, more prop erty on the tgx books, no increase in the public debt. To the suggestion that Santee- Cooper sells its electricity cheaper, the answer is that a private utility j has.offered to .operate.Santee-Cooper' on a lease basis, to pay more than * 1 $2,000,000 a year in taxes and to sell. current cheaper than Santee-Cooper. Which is better, government own ership or socialism?—The News and Courier. IVY WALSH AL WALSH Singing Solos and Duets NOTICE OF SALE The State of South Carolina, County of Laurens.
