Voorhis Urges Rural Electrification Led by Cooperatives
Jerry Voorhis told the National Rural Electric Cooperative Assn that power firms ignored rural electrification as unprofitable, leaving farmers in lamp light while cooperatives offered a service motive. He praised cooperatives as a model for fair rates and patronage refunds and warned against concentration of economic power. Sidney McMath warned Hoover Commission reforms could shift control to private power, criticizing lobby work. Kansas Gov. Fred Hall argued public interest over private power and condemned Dixon-Yates and Hell’s Canyon Dam as missteps.
