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

beset by terrible fears that
the colonists could not win the
Revolution and that they probably
didn’t deserve freedom anyway.
This conclusion comes from a let
ter he wrote his third cousin, Lund
Washington:
“Dear Lund . . .1 cannot deny
myself the comfort of unburthen-
ing my mind to you. I know the
goodness of your., heart.
“Heaven knows how truly I love
my country; and that I embarked
in this arduous enter prize on the
purest motives. But we have over
shot our mark: we have grasped at
things beyond our reach: it is im
possible that we should succeed;
and I cannot with truth say, that
I am sorry for it because I am far
from being sure that we deserve
to succeed. ... I would rather be
even as I am than tamely crouch,
whilst chains were fastening round
my neek; for there is not, in my
estimation, so vik V thing upon
earth as a human being who,
having once enjoyed liberty, to
patiently bear to see it taken from
him. On these principles, and
these only, I first took up arms.
“I knew not that 1 would be ap
pointed to this high station only
to be disgraced and ruined, till
about the middle and latter end
of last February; when, contrary
to my wishes, I found it necessary
that we should come to open hos
