The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-11-01
A LITTLE HISTORY.

Al one time the citizens OF Logan
invited the Telluride people TO install
light plant in this city. The Tellu-
ride came, looked over the situation,
saw the advantage, and with as liber-
al franchise as they could ask for or
the city grant, they put system in
Logan. 1t cost them nothing to come
in and their system may have cost
them ST. 1000 Tenyears later the city
which granted the franchise says to
the Telluride company, "You were
invited in here-it cost you nothing.
In ten years you have done splendid
business and have made money, big
money. We are glad OF 1t, but we are
in condition today to put ia an cleo
trio system of our own. Will you
sell?" The answer came, Eyes we
will sell. We have a better market
for our power, can get more money for
it?" The city went ahead and put in
its plant and then said to the Tellu-
ride people, How much do you want
for your plant?" The answer came,
we are not hawking our plant for sale.
Make us an offer" Rather non.plus-
sed but still DESTROYS Of doing the
right thing, there was consideration
of the proposition and the city then
said Your franchise cost YOU
nothing, you have made big money on
your investment, and you have today
system that experts say is worth
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-11-01

When the people voted as TO whCth-
er they wanted the city light plant
il was agreed that they should have
lights at 33k cents each. The majori-
ty of the people said"build the plant. /"
1t Is rule of all nations and all peo-
pie that the majority rules, and the
plant was built. The service given
has exceeded any promise, any expec-
tation, yet strong influences have re-
fused to support that plant and as a
result there is a light fight on and an
extra 6 mills tax. The Democratic
party would hold the Republican ad.
ministration responsible for this con
dition and presumes to say that only
the Democratic party can stop the
fight and solve the light problem sat
isfactorly. II the voters will but
look around them they will see that
only for Democratic support of rival
system in this city there would be no
fight today, no mills tax, no difficult
ty at all. The Telluride system in
Logan would probably have been
bought by this time at $4,000, the
price originally offered by the city, or
perchance, $4,000, the worth Of the
system in Logan as stated by Mr..
Num- before the county commission
ers.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-11-01

$4,000. That system.is really worth
nothing TO US, but that your coming
and going shall cost you nothing we
will give you $4,000, and you have
clear the great profits you have made
in the ten years you have been here"
The offer was scorned, and though
the chief of the Telluride company
has admitted that his system Is worth
but $4,000, IL is now insisted that the
city shall pay $4,000 or $4,000 for
granting the company privilege to do
business in this city.
The republican party's ticket is
pledged To not pay this exorbitant
price, and is left free to pay any rea-
sonable SUN. The democratic party's
ticket is pledged to solve the difficulty
promptly. Now inasmuch as Mr.
Num- has epeatedly refused to enter
into any negotiations tending toward
the settlement Of the difficulty on
any other basis than about S35, 900 or
$40, 900 cash, or bankable paper, and
often said that the city will yet have
to pay the company its price, the only
way in which the democratic party
can solve the difficulty is by paying
that price.
It's up to the voters. If they de-
sire to give the Telluride people s25,-
600 or $50, 900 for the return of fran
chise which cost them nothing, then
vote the democratic ticket. If they
want TO stand behind the city plant and
the people who have supported that
city plant rather than the Hercules
system, then they must vote the re-
publican ticket.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-11-01
THAT AWFUL. TAX.

The democratic party is making
that 1913, mills tax the issue during
this campaign and the effort is to
convince the public that the demo.
cratic party, the party OF mismanage-
ment from time immemorial, can and
will, if elected, remove this terrific
burden piled up by republicanism.
True, this II mills tax, a raise of six
mills from democratic administration,
comes under republican administra.
tion, but are the republicans, is the
republican party or administration
really responsible? THE REPUBLICAN
is inclined to believe that little
thought will convince any fair minded
person otherwise.
When the city plant was installed
the final expenditure amounted TO
100000 or little more. Consider
ing that fact what was the proper
move of the true and loyal citizens OF
Logan? 1t was to support the city
plant, was il not, especially If that
city plant gave the service promised
and at the cost to the individual as
promised? The question OF putting
in the plant had been submitted to
the voters, and an overwhelming ma
jority had said put in the system"
Isn't the proposition as plain as A b
G? Even those people in this city
who own fair block of Telluride
stock could better afford TO stand
back Of that 100000 expenditure
rather than oppose the expressed will
OF the citizens TO such an extent as TO
make a great fight and 6 mills tax
possible. However, some OF these,
with others, failed TO support the city
plant and the mills tax resulting is
costing EN- like the dickens, These
p .ople are the ones who are making
the terrific noise about this tax, but
are they not the ones, instead of the
republican administration, who are
responsible for this tax, this terrific
burden they are crying about.
The proof OF the situation lies in
the fact that the fight can end and
will end the instant the citizens o.
Logan now supporting the other plant
In its fight against the city face about
and give TO the city plant their tinan
cial and moral support. II the demo,
Gratis want TO solve the question, lei
them induce the most powerful force
in the democratic party today to sup
port the city plant.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-11-01

There are those in the city friendly
to the Telluride system In Logan be-
cause they believe, or prefer to be-
lieve, that that company has been
badly treated and that the company
itself has never done anything but
that which has been consistent, honest
and with the desire to settle the pre-
sent fight without hard feeling 1t Is
well to remember that the company's
representatives made the statement
that the company could sell its power
elsewhere for more money than IL was
getting for it here. In view of this
it seems strange that the company
has made such a strenuous fight to
retain its business here, yet it has
made tight,a fight filled with bitter
ness equal to that on the part OF the
citizens since it appears that the Tel
luride is not willing to meet them
halfway in the settlement Of the
difficulty. The latest effort of the
company comes in its apparent dis
position to injure the city plant by
raising the water in Logan river far
above the compromise point. The
compromise point is one agreed on be-
tween the city and Telluride people.
Though notified, and re-notifed, the
company has for the past few weeks
refused TO comply with the agreement
and on Monday the water was thirteen
inches above compromise point. The
Telluride people have said and done
many things calculated TO make the
citizens Of any city as arbitrary as
themselves and is keeping it up. This
is the plant that Is today asking the
citizens TO give them from s25, 900 to
S35, 900 more for their system than Mr..
Num- has said it is actually worth,

In a former issue THE REPUBLICAN
gave the statement of j, p. Carbon,
chairman Of republican primary in
the Fifth ward year ago, TO the
effect that the present nominee for
recorder on the democratic ticket had
voted there after IL had been made
plain that none but republicans were
privileged, Mr.. Carbon stated that
when Miss Egbert was approached
personally she said that she could vote
under that ruling, aud did so. THE
REPUBLICAN presented these state
ments without comment and since
that time the democratic organ has
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-11-01

been busy explaining. Its last at
tempt, however, is al effort to make
It appear that THE REPUBLICAN AT
Tackled defenseless young woman
while she was doing some heroic
stunt. Thu REPUBLICAN said no
unkind word, drew no inference,
merely presented Mr.. Gardens state
ment. However, since 1.-THE only" so
illadvisedly insists on making de-
fense:where there is none, the situa-
tion may now reasonably be summed
up properly: Miss Egbert was re-
publican at that time or deliberately
misrepresented herself II she was a
republican then, II seems strange that
the democratic party. which always
does everything so fittiDgly, should
turn down so many capable and
efficient women OF long service in the
party for this new recruit II she was
not a republican, and deliberately
voted In a republican primary after
she was made to understand that only
republicans were privileged TO vote,
she did that which makes her I'M
worthy the fullest confidence of her
party members and all others. All
this rattle. Drained talk of 1.-THE only's"
about the school elections not being
carried out on political lines can not
and does not serve as any excuse in
the case Of Miss Egbert or any other
OF like kind. II the young lady is wise
she will request her misrepresentation
organ to cease any attempts at de-
Tense Of her at this or any other time,
for it always makes a bad matter
worse.

DO the citizens of the Third ward
want representative in the city
council who has opposed practically
every improvement where he could
raise his voice? 1t comes TO The RE-
PUBLICAN that Mr.. w. r. Andrews,
the democratic candidate, opposed
the extension of the water mains past
his property, he opposed the laying Of
a cement sidewalk when proposed by
those near him. Will Andrews
Is a good man, quiet, unassuming, a
moral man of unquestioned character,
but do the people Of this city want
in the city council man who Is non
progressive, a man who by nature is
passive, a man who prefers to live in
the past rather than the up-to-date
present and future? This city wants
to grow, needs TO grow and must not
knowingly place in the city council
one inclined to oppose. Neils Carl
son, the republican nominee, has not
yet built any libraries, public foun-
tains or laid out any parks and given
them to the city, but he is man
fairly up.to-date and with progress
siye rather than passive disposition.
The people OF the Third ward can
better afford to vote for him than Mr..
Andrews.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-11-01

the past six months or more the CITY
light system officials have been can
wasting the city to ascertain the exact
facts In this matter, and have sealed
such lights as are not paid for. But
for the fact that the work OF the Bell
Telephone company on the conjoint
poles has kept employees busy
this entire work would have been
completed ere this. Such conditions
as "the only" complains about at this
time are such as all companies, NUM-
cipal and otherwise, have to contend
with. There is now on file In the city
light Office a complete tabulation Of
all lights in use, lights sealed, con-
nections, drops, ETC., in each house in
this city, so far as the canvas has been
completed. 1t must be remembered
that the city plant was constructed
under adverse conditions, has been
operated under most adverse condi-
tions and that forces are still at work
giving it all the trouble possible. Such
difficulty as 1.-THE only" brings up at
this time can only be Strengthened ou0
gradually and is being met properly.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-11-01

The only" says many people are
using many city lights for which they
do not pay. The people themselves
know best whether this allegation is
true. However, IL Is true that for

The Telluride people said they
could get more money for their power
than they were getting in Logan with
lights at 33t cents each per month.
That that was monstrous bluff is
evidenced by the fact that they are
making a strenuous fight to sell their
electric juice here at 10 cents per light.
That the company can not and never
will see its way clear to take less than
s35, 600 cash for their Logan system is
another bluff as great as the one
named above, all assertions to the
contrary notwithstanding. In view
OF the fact that the city can not pos
sibly pay that price, It's a splendid
idea TO tax and call their bluff until
such a time as they come TO their
senses. The Democrats who have
been so friendly TO the Hercules sys.
TEN can assist in calling that bluff,
and in fact settle the fight, by giving
their patronage to the city system.
