Working for the cities.

For instance, our industrial depart
ment has not been noisy, but it has
been hard at work for severai months.
We have carried on individual cor
respondence with over seven hundred
manufacturers and in every case have
attracted their attention to the group
of cities in the power zone, rather
than to any one locality. We have
actively taken UP with the commercial
bodies in different cities which
sought our assistance, the work of
treating with more than twenty-five
active prospects.
Just now we are still engaged in
organizing our department for this
work. We are in negotiation with sew
eral to find the best man anywhere
available to head this organization.
Much more can be done when our
power service Is distributing electric
energy. We feel that we are only be-
ginning now. With help from the
communities it will be possible to at
tract some large new basic industry
for the valley. Those which will fol
low will be easier to attract. We still
believe that where they will settle
most thickly depends upon which COM
munities have the most intelligence
and spirit and willingness to work
doggedly for an end that is worth
while. No city can succeed of its
citizens forget that new industry
has a money value in dollars and
cents to every professional and bust
ness man in 1t, and that money in
vested wisely in soliciting and locat-
ing a factory pays high rate OF
return"

Investors Of the Millions Still Believe
In Power Zone Cities Which Are
Becoming More and More
Attractive.
NOT MORE TERRITORY
Attitude and Intentions OF Mississippi
River Power Company Stated
Frankly With Some Advice
to the Citizens.

So many different views have been
expressed regarding the attitude Of
the Mississippi River Power Company
toward the Industrial growth of the
communities in the power zone, that [
am delighted with the opportunity of
defining that attitude said Richard
Washburn Child, in his office IN the
Monarch building this morning.
Mr. Child is the representative of
the Stone & Webster interests who
have the management of the company,
and his duties are in part the develop
mentIof an industrial policy and the
organization of a well equipped indus
trial department. which shall DE eli.
fecti2e and act with the various com
mercial bodies in the power zone to
locate new factories when the electric
power from the Mississippi river is
available for use.
We are sometimes asked about our
faith In the industrial growth or
these valley cities,'' continued Mr..
Child. II cannot express this faith
IL,
the resident manager of the company,
has done. Stone e Webster and their
investors have put more than s25,-
n00,e0o down into the bed OF the
Mississippi and. in miles of high cost
efficient transmission lines. The en-
terprise will he successful with the
present market for power, but the
real promise of any larger profit Is
expected from larger market, which
means not larger territory to serve
but more factories to use power in
the power zone as 1t is today. Mr.
Trawick points out that those who
have invested have a good many mir
lions Of faith in industrial growth, and
1t would be hard to indicate faith
more forcibly. We only ask everyone
to believe in the future of the valley
as manufacturing center as strongly
as we believe Id it.
Must lnocuiate Manufacturers.
The fact is, that eastern manufac-
turers. who are tempted to establish
plants in the power zone cities, must
be infected by the well grounded be
lief Of the people VINO live in these
cities,
That is why the spirit of a com
munity counts for 50 much. 1t is the
most important factor in industrial
growth It is hard to keep down the
success Of a community where every
go hehcres in their own tomorrow.
The right spirit will pull manufac-
turer. into the location Of plant
more effectively than favorable freight
rates. low cost of power, good labor
conditions, close markets or any other
one element acting singly. A commur-

EQUITY setween cItles.

Another point on which there
seems to be some misunderstanding
has to do with this company's atti-
tude toward one community as dis
tinguished from another An associat-
ed company has bought some Indus
trial land at Keokuk and 1t is true
that our rates for power are slightly
lower within small radius of the
dam, because-and only because to
power that goes beyond that small cir
Gle, it Is necessary to add the cost Of
transmission.
From this, many unthinking per-
sons have drawn the inference that
the company was only interested in
deveiopment at keokuk, or that it
was expecting land profit by holding
industrial land. Neither of these in
ferences have the slightest foundation,
and should be wiped out
In buying the small tract OF two
hundred odd acres available for fac
tory sites in Keokuk the purpose was
to hold enough land to prevent specu-
lation which might hamper the Keo-
kuk commercial body locating the In
dustries which we confidently expect
will find advantages in; Keokuk. It
must be remembered that Keokuk is
different from many of the other cit
les because flat industrial land is not
available there in SO generous I sup
ply as at other places. From the lit
tie industrial land we hold, we expect
no profit and seek none.

any one community at the expense of
our interest in others-Athat is, as to
the suspicion which some seen to
have that we will urge manufacturers
to abandon pians to locate at Burling-
ton, Dallas City, Fort Madison, War
saw, Hamilton, Quincy, ST. Louis, or
any other place in favor OF location

business sense to correct the fancy,
we could not afford narrow policy If
we would. Let me say without qualifi-
cation that we will assist each COM
munity in any way in our power to
locate new industrial plants.
We realize. however, that the de-
termining factors in decision of a
factory to locate must be the compare
tive advantages which each industry
may find in each locality it investi-
gates. That is to say, today one
manufacturer may find his advantages
are at Hannibal. Therefore he will not
go to Fort Madison. Tomorrow, anoth

Sentenced for the Fifth Time,

Willie Bethune, of Manning, S. c.,
was sente~ced Tuesday for the fifth
time tc Gle for murder, has announced
that he will again appeal. The basis
of his appeal this time Is that the l2W
providing FOR the elcctGocution OF
criminals has gene into effect since his
trial and conviction. The prisoner
claims that the cIcctrocution as az
plies to him IS ey pest faoto law a1I
therefore he CaInot be put to deaf il

trocution, the appeal points OUT, coz

section, the prisoner holds, prevents
his execution by hanging.
Bethune's first conviction was in
