Introduction of the measure,
Banker noted, carries through on
his long-standing opposition to
log exports from federal lands.
Other sponsors include
Congressman James Weaver,
D-Ore., and Congressman Lloyd
Meeds, D-Wash.
The bill would continue in
distinct federal statutory language
the log export limitations that
have been written into annual
appropriations bills in recent
years. Passage would signal
success against the adverse effects
of federal log exports after a
seven-year struggle that began in
1968 when Wayne Morse, then a
senator from Oregon, was able to
limit log exports from federal
lands to 350 million board feet a
year. •
The existing log export ban
will expire June 30.

in recent months, a variety of factors
largely beyond our control have driven
up the cost of providing you with
reliable electrical service.
generation...
I
Construction costs for steam generat-
ing plants have jumped 42% in the last I
five years. A decade ago, new genera-
tion facilities cost about $100 to $150
per kilowatt (one kilowatt = 1,000.
watts). Today that cost has nearly
quadrupled, to about $500 per kilowatt.
Overall construcffon costs increased
substantially in 1974, and are expected
to increase, greatly in 1975.
amd
The cost of building transmission and
distribution facilities has increased by
more than 44% during the same .period,
Some items are really soaring. For
instance, in the five year period 1969-
1974, the price of treated pine utility
poles increased 89% ; overhead con-
ductors for electrical transmission
were up 137% ; and the price of under-
ground conductors for electrical
distribution increased 142%.
Increased fuel prices are a serious
problem in our continuing effort to
provide reasonably-priced electric
service. According to U.S. Bureau of
Labor statistics, the price of coal for
utility use increased 74% in one year
(June, 1973 to June, 1974). The price
of oil shot up 175%, and the price of
natural gas was up 42% during the
same period.

Just as it's costing you more to finance
that new car or home, it's also costing
your electric utility a great deal more
to finance the equipment and plant
necessary to provide first-rate electrio
service. Electric utilities require huge
amounts of capital~much more than
most ordinary businesses. Therefore,
high interest rates affect us more than
most other businesses.
The post World War II interest rates
of 2-3% on municipal bonds have risen
to 6-7% in recent years.
/ms than
While you pay more for electricity to-
day, chances are you are also using
more than you did five or ten years
ago. In fact, the price you pay for
electricity has actually lagged behind
sharply rising prices for most other
consumer goods and services during
the past decade. Between June, 1964,
and June, 1974, the consumer price
index increased by 58.3%, while the
average price for electricity increased
by about 10% less, or only 46.6%.
... is to continue to provide you, our
consumer-owners, with first-rate elec-
tric service at the lowest possible cost•
We set electric rates at the lowest
levels that will ensure a financially
sound operation and continued, rell-
able power supply for the community.
Like you, we're not happy about
increases in the price you pay for elec-
tricity. And, we're doing our best to
hold down future costs. Your wise use
of this valuable servant, electricity,
will help us in this effort.
