Willmar tribune., 1909-08-25

After having started a discussion
of Senator Thorpe's legislative re-
cord, the Gazette jumps the track
and apparently abandons the discus
sion by publishing a column of per-
sonal TRADE against Lawson, in
which it draws the conclusion that
Thorpe is a legislative saint and
Lawson is a lowdown political DEM
agog. We thank the Gazette for
its frankly expressed opinion. If
it did not want our opinion of
Thorpe's record it should not have
requested US so earnestly to give it.
We are then to understand that
the Senator's vote for the repeal of
the primary law, his vote against
its extension so that the people
themselves could nominate their
own choice for governor, his vote
against the idea of the people them
selves electing the U. S. senators,
and his vote against the idea of
permitting the people themselves
to pass on important laws-that
all these votes have the unqualified
approval of the Gazette. That s

WEDNESDAY, AUG. 25, 1909.


The Telephone Committee has
made it's final report to the council,
the main points of which are that
the Northwestern will not sell its
plant at Willmar and the recon-
mendation that the council proceed
to formulate a proposition for the
establishment of a municipal plant
at Willmar. The Tribune has at
various times shown other claims
of the Northwestern to be humhug,
made for the purpose Of deceiving
the people as to the telephone pro-
position, and now their own action
proves that their claims of losses
and willingness to sell before the
election were simply made to throw
dust in the eyes of the people.
Three of the councilmen are un-
equivocally committed by the sign
ing of this report TO follow up its
recommendations and we are conf
dent that they will have the unan-
imous cooperation of their col.
leagues in formulating a plan that
will give the city good up-to-date
telephone exchange under absolute
public control, and also in ousting
the Bell monopoly lines which have
refused to submit to any city con.
troll whatever or recognize any le-
gal rights of the municipality. The
late court decision in the Thief
River Falls case proves that the
claims of having a franchise under
the long distance permits are not
good. With an up-to-date municipal
plant established, and the city gov.
ernment going after the usurpers
as they deserve to be gone after
the necessity of having two phones
need not frighten anyone. When.
ever the N. w. then comes down
from it's high horse it can get its
share of long distance business by
connecting with the municipal ex.
change on equal terms with any
other company.
We hope to see the matter taken
up at the earliest possible time, and
feel confident that the people of the
city will stand by the council until
the matter has been pushed thru tc
successful conclusion.

District Court Sustains Thief
River Falls in Oustfnq the
N. W. Telephone Co.

Ju0ge watts OF CrOOkstOn last
Saturday sustained the demurrer of
our city to the petition of the
Northwestern Telephone Co. in
which the company prayed for the
privilege to extend its long dis
tance service in Thief River Falls.
This is the second suit between
our city and the Northwestern TEL
ephone Co.
The first suit was brought by the
company when the city council de-
MED them the privilege of INSTALL
ing a local telephone system, which
privilege they held their franchise
granted them. The court sustained
the city and ruled that the company
had no right under it's franchise to
install local telephone system.
About a year ago the company
asked for the privilege of establish
ing additional pay stations, thus
extending its long distance service.
When the council denied them this,
they brought an action of manda-
mus to compel the council to grant
them this privilege under their
franchise. In this action the city
took the ground that the North
western Telephone Co. had no law
full franchise and was in the city as
a licensee. This case was submit
ted to Judge Watts on June 9Th
last, and in his order of last Satur-
day he sustains the city on every
point.
Ex-Attorney General E. T. Young
and City Attorney Halvorson repre-
sented Thief River Falls, while
Chas. Loring, Cobb Wheelwright
and E. A. Prendergast represented
the telephone company.
This decision leaves the North
western Telephone Co. without any
franchise. They can be expelled
from the city at any time. And,
what is more, it is the opinion of
the city authorities that the fran
chise of the TriState company is no
better than was that of the North
western.
If now by the expenditure of al
most a thousand dollars the city of
Thief River Falls has beaten the
telephone company, and practically
has both of them where it can at
pleasure bid them walk, shall we
be satisfied with simply Growing
over our victory and admit them to
the city just the same to plunder
and oppress? Then the real victory
is thiers, not ours, and we have
spent or cash to no purpose. Be
it far from us! Let us instead be
men enough to take advantage of
the situation created by overw helm
ing victory and forthwith take the
proper steps to own and operate ou1
own local telephone system. .-Thie1

Observations by Clarence

During the struggle over the
tariff question another struggle
between the interests and the inter-
ests of the people has almost been
lost sight of. and yet it is one
fraught with vital interest for the
future. 1t is the struggle over the
possession of the natural resources
of the unsettled West.
The struggle dates from the
Roosevelt regime. Before that
time there was no real struggle.
The people did not know of the
vast possibilities of that wild re-
gion, which was considered abso-
lutely worthless. But Roosevelt
knew the West. In the east he had
always been surrounded by the plu-
tocratic class and absorbed great
deal of their views. His course
againts the predatory rich was
there halting and uncertain. While
talking loudly about the "square
deal," he really accomplished no
more than to stir up popular inter-
est in the question. His knowledge
of men was still weaker, as witness
his selection of the man who was to
be his "heir apparent" and carry
out his policies. No sooner had
Taft, by his fawning over Roose-
welt, gained the presidency than he
began to club the Roosevelt policies
over the head and bury them in.
gloriously.
But Roosevelt knew the West.
There he had lived as a man, free
from the influences of predatory
wealth. He knew its possibilities
and its needs. And the one thino
