KAHN EXPLAINS
new Light RATES
MANAGER or THE UNION LIGHT,
HEAT q POWER CO. TALKS or
THE NEW LIGHT RATES THAT
HAVE BEEN RECENTLY PUT IN
TO EFFECT.

Some OF the consumers OF electric
lights did not understand the recent
cut In rates by the Union Light. Hear
& Power Co, announced in The Forum
Saturday. The new rates make a big
reduction i'm regular meter rates, but
raises the minimum from 81 per month
to $3.50 in the summer and 81 in the
winter.
For the man who uses only two or
three lights the new rates are great
increase, but for the man who uses over
the new minimum rates the cut will be
most acceptable.
Manager Kahn explains the situation
as follows:
Electricity must be considered a
service, and not commodity, for 1t is
something that cannot be stored up and
used when demanded, but the plant
must have sufficient machinery ready
! to generate current when it is demand
ed. For example, suppose a man has
| twenty lights in his home and burns
on an average Ave lights daily, except
| ing on some special occasion such as
Christmas Eve. New Years, etc. say
/ ten nights in all during the year. That
means that the station must have suf-
hcient machinery installed to generate
enough electricity to supply him with
| twenty lights on demand and If he used
these twenty lights but ten days Of the
| year, then fifteen -twentieths or three
fourths of the machinery must remain
/ idle 355 days. Bt while this machinery
| is idle, the expenses continue just the
| same. This is one reason for the i'm
creased minimum charge. The other
is that no matter whether a man has
81 electric light bill, 1t costs just as
much to maintain and keep the small
consumer on the books as 1t does the
larger one. Taking into consideration
| interest and depreciation of meters,
setting and removing meters, repair
ing meters, shunt losses, clerical sal
aries, stationery, postage, collecting,
etc, the cost per meter per year is ap-
! proximately $40, nearly 90 cents
month. So ii is very evident that the
company could not exist If all it's con-
sumers paid the minimum bill. The
complaint among the smaller consum-
ers in the past was that the price of
electric service was too high, and the
/ copany reduced the maximum rate 10
per cent. However wishing to do some
thing more for the small consumers
i the company lowered the maximum
rate 90 per cent, but as a protective
measure increased the minimum charge
to $3.50 for the months OF April to
September inclusive and So for the
months of October to March inclu-
sive. 1t would only be fair and equita-

Fargo, besides having local lodge is

the development of the grand lodge has
been great and 1t is now contemplated
to erect a fine grand lodge building.

the best people of the city. The idea
Of the lodge is to form closer rela-
tionship among its members and to
protect their families through a splen-
did system Of life insurance.
Operating Under Good Plan.
The insurance system OF this organ
ization varies in the different states
North Dakota Workmen have devised
a system which is considered the best
among A. o. II. w. lodges Of the
United States. The organization has
three plans of insurance. Prior to 1893
the order in this state o perated on
the level dollar plan. 1t was in that
year that the schedule was changed and
the classified plan was adopted--the
Lmembers being arranged in five-year
groups. Again in 1904 level rate plan
was adopted, the rates OF which were
graded according to age and remaining
at that amount during life. On Jan. 1.
1908 the society began insuring on the
| limited payment plan. Under this sys-
tenn certificates become paid up i'm full
at the end of ten, fifteen or twenty
| years, as desired by the policy holder.
! This gives the order three distinct plans
for its members to choose from.
The insurance department of this
lodge Is Incorporated under the laws
OF North Dakota 1t is considered an
ideal system and is being copied by the
grand lodges of many of the other
states.
In Good Financial Standing.

body are in the best financial standing

pugilistic circles came to-day with the
announcement that Delaney had posted
$1,000 as a forfeit fora side bet of $4,000
on behalf Of Kaufman for a match with

Delaney was formerly Jenries manager.
but when the latter retired Delaney hook
ed up with Kaufman and has since

wanted TO re-enter the ring and stuck to
his determination to bar negroes, he could
get on a match with Kaufman.
Il Is not sentiment that prompted De-

Kaufman can beat Jenries" he said, "and

Should Jeffries accept. the sports are
asking where would johnson figure. The
ooncensus Of opinion is If Jeffries comes
out OF retirement he would be hailed as
the champion, and the laurels won by the
black champion when he defeated Tommy
Burns will hardly be recognized.
