These two propositions will appear at the top of
the ballot for the power plant election tomorrow
Those in favor of the project should make cross
in the square that will be at the right of each prop
Iositon.
The election will be held at the regular polling
places and the polls will be open from o'clock in
the morning until o'clock at night.
Every man in Tacoma in favor of freeing the city
from the extortion of the power trust should get
out and vote.
The power trust will probably tonight and tomor-
row make final desperate attempt to mislead the
voters and confuse them, with false statements
Voters should keep in mind the following facts
which cover the whole case:
Tacoma now owns monopoly of the electric
lighting business with plant that cleared $4,000
profit last year.
! The city now has to buy it's current from the
power trust The trust raised the price to the limit
allowed by it's franchise year ago and is now free
to raise the price to any figure it pleases.
The trust and other private companies own the
1ighting plants in most of the other cities of the
Northwest and their rates to the people are nearly
or quite twice as high as those charged by Tacoma
This fact indicates that the trust when it can will
force Tacoma to raise it's prices by charging the city
more for current It will be able to do this the
coming year, for Tacoma even now is exceeding the
amount OF current it has contracted for The reason
lt has not already been done is probably solely be-
cause the trust afraid to do it before this vote
was taken, it would have made it certain that the
people would vote to build their own plant.
The trust sells power in Tacoma to factories and
therefore will not sell current to Tacoma so the citv
can make cheap rates to manufacturers to attract
new industries here. THE ONLY WAY TACOMA
CAN COMPETE WITH SEATTLE, WHICH,
CITY HAS A MUNICIPAL PLANT, Is TOl
BUILD IT'S OWN PLANT AND THUS BE ABLE
TO ATTRACT NEW FACTORIES
All competent engineers and every citizen who
has seen the Nisqually plant proposed for the city
say it is the best left in this section It will deliver
to- this city 10000 horsepower It will furnish the
current at the price the city now pays the
trust 1t will enable the city in time to reduce rates
for light and power, attract new industries pay for
the plant itself out Of the profits and to make the
city independent forever of the power trust
And for all time the city with this plant will bel
able to dictate the price of power in Tacoma mol
matter who sells It, for the trust will no longer have
monopoly. This fact alone will be worth millions
of dollars to the people
The proposition is clean-cut straightforward and
definite. It is endorsed by ever Improvement club
IN town, by the chamber of commerce and the COM
mercial club.
It is up to the people to vote for it now.
