DO THE VOTERS OF DULUTH WANT TO
DUPLICATE WINNIPEG'S EXPERIENCE?
The Duluth-Edis0n Electric Company has Of
fered to supply the city with street lamps of the
same character as those recommended by the city's
engineers for $500 lamp per year. The city ell
gineers state i'm their report that these same lamps
would "COST' the city $6958 if furnished by
clty-0Wned plant. In addition it offers current
FREE OF CHARGE for lighting all public build
ings such as city hall, public library, fire engine
houses and all improved city parks.
DULUTH NEEDS MORE LIGHTS, NOT
FEWER. Under the terms of the offer of the Du-
lutl-Edison Electric Company, the city would gain
o3 more lights than are now i'm use, while the
"COST' of $69.58 lamp per year under municipal
operation according to the city engineers estimate
mean 1874 fewer street lamps for Duluth This con-
dition cannot be changed because the city charter
limits the levy for city lighting to MILL and the
proportion of this available for electricity is only
$4,000.
THEREFORE,, A VOTE FOR THE BOND
ISSUE MEANS A VOTE FOR A DARKER d.
LUTH.
do you realize that Duluth is over bonded? Do
You know the interest on the bonded indebtedness
of the City of Duluth amounts to about $500 per
day for 365 days i'm the year? Do you know that
the interest per capita i'm Duluth amounts to $50!
1hls means that for every man, woman and child
In this city present outstanding bonds?
Do you want to make this condition worse? If
you do, vote for the bond ISSUE If you have sin
cere desire for your own and the city interest,
VOTE NO.

TRADE UNION CAUSE.
TO Be GIVEN BOOST
Trades Assembly Executive Board
Plans Big Campaign of Act
i've Organization.
Every Unorganized Trade in Du-
luth to Be Unionized If
Plan Is Carried Out.

ITO redeem Duluth as strong
trade union city,"
This is the program Of the new
executive committee of the Duluth
Trade and Labor Assembly.
A joint meeting of the executive
and organization committees was held
last Sunday, and the local situation
was gone over in it's entirety
1t was pointed out that there are
at least forty trades in Duluth, with
out mentioning their many subdivi-
s1ons, that are unorganized. The plan
is to reach the unorganized men in
these trades
At the next meeting of the Trades
Assembly the committee will recon-
mend that a call be issued to each
and every trade union in Duluth to
elect one delegate to a general con-
ference to be held in March for the
purpose of conducting a campaign Of
organization throughout the city.
The proposed conference will hold
weekly meetings for a period of three
months. Committees will be appointed
from the delegates to work on GER
tain trades. The State Federation of
Labor will be asked to send President
Hall here for time during the
campaign.
The Twin City unions are to con-
duct in April Union Labor Forward
movement. The leading men in the
American labor movement will visit
the Twin Cities during that time.
These will be asked to come to Du-
luth, and mass meetings will be held
in all portions of the city.
No trade or calling will be over
looked. The plan is regarded as the
most important ever undertaken in
Duluth. The services of John Mitch
ell will be secured to start the move
ment in March, and from then on it
Is expected that the crusade will
gather with such force that the move
ment in Duluth will double in men,
bersh1p in three months,
The attention of the unorganized
workingmen will be called to the fact
that their wages have remained sta
tlonery during all of the good times
of the past ten years, while the prices
OF all the things they require in their
homes have almost doubled.
They will be impressed with the
tact that it is not sufficient to vote a
labor ticket one day in the year and
'scab' on their fellows for 1854 DAYS.
1t would be better to be union man
every day in the year, including cleo
ton day. ..I.= e. Z, 81 .5.${3

TO the Voters of the City of Duluth:

10 the Voters of the City of Duluth:
On Tuesday next you will be called upon to de-
eide whether or no the City of Duluth will issue
bonds for the CONSTRUCTION of a municipal
electric lighting plant. Many issues are involved
in this question: but the principal one, the one that
concerns you most is that of the best interests and
the ultimate welfare of Duluth
The real question you are called to decide is not
whether the city shall have municipal lighting
plant, but rather whether or no you will commit
the city to policy of Wilfu and unnecessary waste
of the taxpayers money. In this the welfare of the
city is involved. You a voter and taxpayer
Qf you are the first you must be the latter, directly
or Indirectly must decide.
Advocates of municipal ownership in Duluth
have befogged the real issues involved with gilt
tering generalities, which when carefully analysed
show the weakness of their position Do not be mis-
led by the $libness of their arguments for if thew
were TO have their way they would have the CITY
operate every business, wholesale and RETAIL now
carried ON in Duluth. That is part of their doc
trine.
For instance, they tell you that mot cent of
taxes nave been levied to pay principal on gas and
water bonds. Despite this statement the yearly tax
reports show that since 1901 the sum of 6476.
winch includes interest, has been paid from the tax
levy for the water and light department. They tell
you also that the proposed municipal plant to cost
T7OOOOOOO and to have only One-thrd the CAPACITY
OF the present plant Of the Duluth-Edison Electric
Company according to the report of the engineers
employed by the city,, would be a "revenue-pro-
duclng institution; BUT THEY DON'T ATTEMPT

ted, Mr.. Gustafson said: 81 have been
a resident of the city of Moline all OF
ny life, and am now serving my sec
end term as police magistrate. / did
not seek the nomination, but if elect

Mr.. Gustafson is peculiarly qualified

! And vet this is precisely what the
republican party has been claiming
/ for its stimulating trade laws like the
protective tariff, that it made this ma
ton the most prosperous on the face
of the earth and for that reason the
masses ought to be glad and anxious
to stand the extortions of the protec-
tive taxes.
The great truth, however, which po-
litical economy is teaching now is
this; "Tthat nature is constituted
Alright that 1t is mans interest to
take advantage of the arrangements
of nature, according to the laws
which nature has established in the
world; that all human laws original
ing in man are detrimental arrange
nents which interfere with the course
Of providence; that all such laws ought
to be abolished in time, so that man
may have free scope TO extract the
ma ximum of advantage from the
sources of nature"
Social arrangements for the bene
fit of all are not laws-they are adap
tat;ons of the laws of nature. They
are requisite for society and to these
arrangements legislation ought to con
, fine itself. When men levy prohib
tive or protective tariffs, they origi
, nate laws, when they tax the whole
, population for the benefit of few
, they originate laws, when they per
