PRICES ON LIGHT
ARE DUE TO DROP
GENERAL ELECTRIC co. CONSID.
ERING REDUCTION TO CITY.
This Is Attributed to Desire to Smooth
Way for New Fr/nchise Rathen than
to Any High Philanthropic Motives
Minnesota Power and Trolley An
other Possible Factor.

Minneapolis will pay. less for street
lighting next year and it is possible
that 1907 will see still greater re-
duction. incidentally Minneapolis is
due to see soon an electric light war
that cannot fail to result in saving
of public money on street lighting
AT. the council meeting tomorrow
be opened. The Minneapolis General
Electric company, it is believed will
offer a lower price than it is at pres
ent receiving. The present price is
1914 a light on an all night and every
night schedule. A small reduction has
been promised but it is not believed
that it will fall below 800. In addition,
the aPtterson company controlling the
mantle devices used on all gas lamps
has signifed it's intention of making a
reduction. B..
The slight cut that will be offered by
the General Electric company will not
be entirely due to change of heart if
the general opinion of aldermen and
other interested parties can be taken
as accurate. The company is said to be
paving the way for friendly negotiations
over a new franchise. At the same time
the General Electric company is fur;
to Duluth for $50 a light year and
the new bid now up cuts the price to
about $50.
Kiichli's Company Factor.
Another influence that is said to be
back of the company g apparent change
of heart is the Minnesota Power &
Trolley company, which last winter Sc
cured inneapolis franchise, despite op
pany. The ordinance offered arc lights
for street lighting on the all-night anC
overnight schedule at not to exceed
$3.50 a year. The old company anC
it's friends insisted on restrictions fol

While experts state that the. ordl
nance Of the new company is sufficient
ly liberal to permit a profit, it is also
said that the old company in debating
the restrictions sought to make then
p1 ohibitive. Now it is reported that
the Minnesota Power & Trolley promo
tiers are practically assured that they
will be able to finance their venture
and enter the Minneapolis market.

SEIZE ROADS, IS
PROUTY SOLUTION
Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner Says This Is Only Way
to Square Deal. 2

Washington, May 19.-The sensation
in the senate committee probe
into the necessities of railroad rate reg
ulation centered in the statement Of
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Prouty, who declared in answer to SEN
ator Newelands that the only possibility
of square deal in all railroads was
Tor the government to take control of
the roads.
Senator Newlands' question was
short and Mr.. Prouty's answer single
sentence, but its effect was startling,
coming, as it did, from a man thoroly
cOnversant with railroad affairs and
abuses. --#-
Commissioner Prouty said that neith-
er tie interstate commerce commission
nor any court had power to determine
must be tribunal to stand between
the railways and the people, Rates
should be made by the railroads, but
there should be some power to revise
the rate fixed by the traffic manager. (
The executive and judicial duties he
said, should be taken away from the
commission, but that it should be left
with administrative duties which in,
clude authority to revise and fix rates
for the future. ~-
Commissioner Prouty believes that
rebates are still paid to some extent.
They were under elevator and terminal
charges. Discrimination, he predicts
ed, would be greater evil than rebates
in the future.
Under present conditions, he said, the
Standard Oil company had an absolute
control Of the oil business on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad.
Shippers opposed to any changes in
the present conditions and did not want
rate making conferred on the interstate
commerce commission, who appeared,
include: Charles R. Smith, Menasha,
Wis, woodenware and lumber manufac-
turer; H. w. Sheffield, Faribault, Mimi,
representing milling and elevator inter-
ests. =
