MAY AMEND The
LIGHT ORDINANCE
City Commissioners Decide Dahl
mans Ordinance Would Not Re-
duce Bills in All Cases.
BUTLER PROPOSES VIEW RATEs

The city commissioners intend TO amend
the Dahlman electric light and power
rate ordinance % the extent that In all
cases thore will be q positive reduction
Of cents per kilowatt hour on the pri-
mnry rate and y OF cent per kIlowatt
hour on the secondary. retaining the cleo
trio light company's present system OF
determining what the initial quality shall
be. II IL also proposed to eliminate the
minimum charge OF so cents per month.
General Manager Hoidrege Of the
Omaha Electric Light and Power COM
pany says he wants time to consider this
amendment before making any positive
statement, but his offhand opinion is that
his company would not agree to grant
such q concession.
The Dahlman ordinance, which has
aroused criticism. and several amend
ments. have been referred to the COM
mittoa Of the whole for general discus
sion next Monday morning IN the council
chamber. at which time all persons in
terestsd win be given an opportunity TO
speak on this subject.
An Iuaaginary BfI.
The new rates which are proposed by
Commissioner Butler would operate In
this manner; light bill Of ten kIlo-
watt hours at the primary rate Of II
cepta and ten hours At the secondary
rate OF 9 cents would. under the proposed
amendment, be ton hours at cents and
ten hours ~ ~ cents, or a reduction OF
% cents on this imaginary bill.
Commissioned Butler and City Attorney
Rine state that the new amendment
would be q reduction OF n ali per cent
Of ali primary charges and i2ik per cent
Of ali secondary charges. Under the
Dahlman ordinance II was proposed TO
apply an scent primary rate 10 the first
8 kilowatt hours used and then apply a
secondary rate OF cents, both rates
being subject TO an addition of Y cent
per kilowatt hour for nonpayment of
bill within ten days. The last amendment
retains the present discount Of 8 per cent
for payment within ten days.
Other proposed changes In the schedule
are: Commercial lighting, primary rate OF
s cents and secondary of 81 cents per
kiiowatt hour; retail power, first 300
hours. 8 cents; next 400 hours. ~ cents;
next aeoo hours. az cents; excess OF
above. 2 cents per hour,
would Not Cut BIIIs.
The commissioners seem convinced that
the operation of the Dahiman ordinance
would not reduce bills In all cases and In
some instances only a slight reduction
would be received.
There 10 some objection TO the las,
amendment on account of retaining the
present system OF figuring the initial
quantity. which is the amount Of current
TO which the primary or high rate may
be applied. There are many who believe
the bills Hhould be based upon actual cur.
rent used az indicate by the meters
without any cryptic method OF determin-
Ing primary and second hours.

TWENTY-THREE ON PATENT
MEDICINE ADVERTISING,

One of the new leaves turned over
by this paper at the beginning of the
New Year was in discarding all patent
medicine advertising from it's columns.
AS a whole this class of advertising
is the most Objectionable that is offer
ed to the newspaper. In the first place,
patent medicine people are never will
ing to pay the price that newspaper
space is really worth. Again, they
impose exactions that are all but i'm
possible to fulfill, and infringement of
which results in loss to the publisher
and consequently nearfree publicity
to the advertiser.
While the objections given above
had their weight in influencing the
action of the publishers of this paper
IN discarding this class of business,
the greatest incentive was the moral
question involved. Many patent medi-
cines have been proven to be absolute
ly worthless, and others positively
harmful in their effects upon the
human system, while still others are
known to be habit-forming.
This paper long ago closed it's news
columns to the patent medicine reader
which resulted in an added tone to
the paper, though at some little f1nan-
cial loss to the publishers. In barring
this class of matter from our advertis-
Ing columns we believe that this paper
is placed upon a moral tone approach
ed by but few newspapers in the state.
OF course, it would be speaking too
broadly to state that we will never
again publish patent medicine adver-
tlsement; but-before we do so we
shall have to have the assurance of
recognized authority that the adver-
ttsed preparation is a meritorious one.
