Just a FaeHional Affair


THE Inter Ocean will not support the PROPOSE

st @ that on the very face of the thing it is nothing
more or lessthan harpoon thrust in a bitter fac
honal controversy that has4on numerous occasions
threatened to shatter the good name Of Devils Lake.
It is safe to say, however, that the socaled vici-
GUS corporation the present owners Of the electric
\ light system has done more for Devils Laks than
any man Of set bowling the loudest rnuni-
cipal ownership. :# lES
The vicious corporation announced that it was
willing andready toneet with the light committee
Of the city council and revise the electric light sche-
dule and that it is at the present time considering
reduction in rates in the near future whether
it wins Or loses in. the coming special election.
We understand the vicious " would have
taken up the matter Of lowering the maximum rate
as soon as the day circuit picked up sufficiently to
warrant it. s@.= @ ss /
# It would seem that a satisfactory revision Of
the light rates could be made without burdenng the
taxpayers with the expense Of special selection,
which, won by adherents of municipal owner
ship, will most likely force the vicious corporation
to raise its water and telephone rates Then there
will be more special elections more expenses for
the taxpayers to meet and more food for the lovers
Of factionalisnn to fatten on. 81 5
