INVESTMENT DEPARTMEfJT WESTERN UNITED "•fHS CORPORATION , Business and Politics To the Public: ^ Once in every ^ ' purpose of nominating a candidate to the office of Representative in Congress at Washington. Mr Copley now represents this district. He holds also the position of President of a Gas Company serving nearly every town, city and village in this Congressional District. Every time Mr. Copley has appeared as a candidate his political opponents have attempted to con- "* vince the public that the gas rates are outrageously high; that the public is being crushed between the jaws of a heartless monopoly; that the only sure, quick, positive way in which to relieve this alleged oppression is to reduce him to private citizenship. On every occasion, when election day has come and gone, Mr. Copley's opponents have suddenly forgotten about "the people/'s^These self-appointed guardians of the peoples' rights suddenly lose in- - terest in the welfare of the people. There is a reason for this. They are interested in votes, npt in public welfare. If they have had the public interest sincerely at heart, why has it always been at a nre^election period and not thereafter? * So much for the identity and purpose of the self-styled friends of the people! ^ 'During the last thirty-three years the Company of which Mr. Copley is President, has votentartiv - reduced the price of gas from $2.25 per thousand cubic feet net to $.90 per thousand cubic feet whfcfe was the rate charged for several years prior to the increase ijow in effect fixed by the State Utilities Commission. » Mr. Copley was the first Gas Engineer to propose the plan of supplying small communities with gas distributed through pipes under high pressure. By any other method it would be impramihiA for any one to supply gas, without loss, to small towns like Hipsdale, Plainfieia, Batavia, Woodstock and Dundee. It would be necessary to charge at least $2.00 per thousand cubic feet Individual plants are operated at a high cost, and the rate is not sufficient to attract capital. f? f At no time has the Western United Gas and Electric Company been compelled by ordinance or other mandate, to reduce its rate. The successive reductions were voluntary on the part of the Company, and, during .the entire period of these thirty-three years the rate for gas in Aurora averaged lowest in the State of Illinois, outside of Chicago; Chicago being lower because the cost of distribution ^ is very much less than that of any other city in the state. The foregoing fact is something Mr. Copley's political opponents would have the people lose sight of: * You would not do without gas; it has become an everyday necessity as much as coal and water. With few exceptions, every utility company the size of tne Western United Gas and Electric Company , is owned or controlled by concerns located in the large financial centers. Some one must supply you with gas. People naturally wish to deal with the concern giving them the most interested consideration, the most friendly contact, and, the best service. Would you prefer to buy from a Chicago syndicate, owning and promoting public utilities in various parts of the United States? Or, would you-prefer to do business with a concern having its origin \ in this locality in 1861, and, having invested its profits in this, your own community? Would you prefer to do business with a Philadelphia syndicate, operating plants in the far comers ; of the nation? Or, do you like better a concern having thousands of stockholders and bondholders inside this Congressional District? . What about one of the syndicates with headquarters in New York City? At its hands would you, . just one of a hundred scattered communities, receive the deserved attention--the attention that local • ownership would afford? A majority of the citizens of this district are familiar with the unsatisfactory results obtained by tOOrresident management of one Utility now in a receiver's hands. v For your information a list is herein submitted, showing a few towns, ownerships and costal V-VM -' "3& :i M •.'is# ' M -Tt -n ' % ... .'^V-wss v&k »' . - j ' -/•It, .... •r:*m . ^ Town Owned by BLOOM I NGTONUnitod Gu and Electric Corporation of New York City..
