Jones and Honey
Offered Better Rates

Unless some such accident as hap
pened to granitoid paving occurs to
check the mayor and his crowd on the
council the people of this town will
soon be voting on a franchise with rate
ordinances which they will need 10
understand. When it developed that
granitoid meant paying something like
$4,000 for seven miles of paving more
than il was legitimately worth after
allowing fair profits, as shown by
Councilman McCarten's figures. the
people and some councilmen woke up
Now the question arises is the fran
chise loaded, too? Let's see
Jones Made Better Offer.
Last fall when the city council
started in to reduce gas rates Messrs
Jones & Hovey came forward with an
ordinance of their own which the
mayor and the Times Repu blican ridi-
cued out of council. But in that or
dinance Jones & Hovey actually Of
fered, of their own free will without
asking for a new franchise or for any
thing, but TO get off easy, rates on the
average house consumers gas 10 cents
lower next year than the mayors much
touted bonded offer from Pratt Darling
ct al. now before the city council, 5
cents lower in 1911, 5 cents lower in
1912, equal in 1918 and IA and came
out within 5 cents of dollar gas at the
same time at which it is now offered.
If the mayor had accepted Jones &
Hovey's offer then the gas consumers
Of this city would have been paying
less all this past year tnan Jones IL
Hovey are now charging, owing to an
untried injunction, and in the next
three years would save $4,000 over
what they will pay if these Darling
rates are accepted. Jones & Hovey
then were real gentlemen in COMPARE
son for they did not ask any twenty
i've year franchise at that time.
Mayor Right Once.
But the mayor did right to ridicule
their offer. 1t was too high. In those
days he was coming to the T.-R. Of
fce for assistance. He had started the
gas reduction at the IRIS reques
and he came back for help. The T.-R
editor procured for him from Cedar

dinance which had stood fire in a big
aaw suit and this language was adopted

hopes to be supplied with ample sites
for any class that NAV be seeking

There are several inducements of
paramount Importance to manufac-
tories, that must be rendered. If we
wish to successfully compete with
other localities now meeting with
great success along these lines:
First the land on which factory is
to be erected should be sold cheaper
than for any other purpose.
The material should be furnished
for less money than in the case of
any other building.
The architect and the contractor
should make a lower and better price
for the plans and work on a smaller
margin than for other structures.
The rate OF taxation should be less
than for other business.
Coal should be supplied at a special
price.
Water should be supplied at bare
cost.
Why? Because if you have plenty
Of manufactures you are bound to
have three mighty valuable acouisi
tions viz:
Brains and energy of the manage
ment.
Capital invested in the industry
Employees and animals to do the
work.
The factory, besides requiring land
on which to build it, needs material
with which to erect it. skill to plan

AS TO DIR. COOK.

The Scientific American, a recog-
nized authority on matters pertain
ing to practical affairs in the world
and noted for its painstaking care In
presenting facts and opinions has the
following editorial comment on the
controversy prectpitated by Peary
over DR.. Cooks claim that he visited
the north pole;
ITO set a question mark, however
small, against the message from DR..
Cook. announcing that he had reached
the North Pole, would betray a spirit
of ungenerous and captious criticism.
The conditions OF complete isolation
which must necessarily surround the
man who launches himself, with two
native helpers. into that unchartered
sea OF eternal silence and frozen des
Olation, are sure that the waiting
world to which he retuTns--if he ever
return-must needs accept his story
OF a successful quest without expecta
ti0n of absolute verificaton or dis
proval For the theoretical point
which we call the North Pole lies, as
was generally supposed, and as Dr.,
Cook has now proved, in a vast field
Of eternally drifting ice Any monu-
ment set up by the explorer at the ex-
act axis of the earth in attestation Of
his crowning triumph, would be car
ried steadily down over the dome OF
the world, to be ultimately lost in the
more southerly seas, or cast up. with
other fiotsam and jetsam, on the.
n0rtehrly coasts"
In the interests of scientific accu-
racy there will, of course, be a subse-
quent verification. as far as it Is
practicable, of the distances covered
and of the observations Of the sun as
taken. during this wonderful journey:
but this investigation will not be made
because of any doubt as to the actual
presence of DR.. Cook, on the twenty.
