The People's Voice endorses nine Independents for City Council to gain Tennessee Valley Authority power for Cincinnati and to cut electricity prices by three cents for all, plus a 25 percent gas reduction. The plan envisions transmission lines to Norris Dam, linking Cincinnati to major hydro projects and boosting regional industry.
A speaker advocates generating gas from coal using cheap electricity to reduce utility costs. The plan claims a $1 million installation to meet Cincinnati's needs and argues for buying electric current from the government to produce gas, challenging the existing utility structure and calling for progress and freer local development.
The piece accuses both Republican and Charter parties of utility influence in Cincinnati. It contends the Charter group gave some concessions but kept the Monopoly in charge through five year contracts that overcharge the city, while hiding a path to municipal gas. It claims the City Manager is overpaid and underperforming.
Senator George W. Norris argues no court should strike down laws, urging a constitutional amendment to remove court power and preserve legislative supremacy. He notes NRA invalidation by the Supreme Court as example, insisting parliament and executive approval must stand without judicial overrule.
Upton Sinclair argues Supreme Court ruling blocks options but EPIC. He says only immediate action is to employ the unemployed in producing consumption goods, funded by government money and depreciated dollars. He claims the President should adopt production for use to lift wages and end chaos.
George Brobeck of the Veterans of Foreign Wars on a Farmers Union broadcast argues that World War II veterans were not given insurance. He cites $6.60 monthly insurance deduction, $15.50 allotment, and $5 Liberty Bond deduction from a $30 base pay, leaving $3.40 for personal expenses and leisure.
The Times Star and the Cincinnati Enquirer would not back any of the candidates, seen as pliant to utility domination. The People's Voice ticket argues papers oppose the slate, claiming popular support against the established papers.
A call to elect an independent ticket to remove Charterites and deny Republicans in Cincinnati. The message argues this will show emancipation from private monopoly and allow the new Council to seek Federal Public Works loans for cheap power.
The article argues that voting for the Independents aligned with Pope Pius XI offers Cincinnati a path to connect with Norris Dam through cheap electricity and gas. It asserts that supporting other tickets could halt this reform and keep utilities privatized, stressing The People’s Voice supports religious-backed policy as a leading campaign issue.
An open meeting of the Pulp Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers Union will be held Sunday June 23 at 2 p.m. in the Linwood Junior Order Hall. Mr Herbert B Bigelow will address the gathering.
