THE RIDICULOUS LAND BOARD.

Why all this hulabaloo among the ma jority members
of the land board about where the Capital News gets its
news? Is it not because this accurate and be-
it that Republicans trying to conceal
from the people9 1t is clear where the shoe pinchess
If the article published by the Capital News had been
wrong in any particular every majority member OF the
land board would have torn shirt in getting the in
formation Of such to their morning mouthpece but
far not item has been mentioned wrong, the only
public objection being that the Capital News expressed
greater confidence in Governor Alexander than did to-
ward the other members of the board and that ought
surprise no one nasmuch the confidence exists
in every mind in the state outside the minds of of
the members of the land board and wouldn't be
prsed if the truth known that the majority
members themselves feel the way about it.
But why not get down to facts? Is true it not
true that loan No. 290 for $4,000 made to Republican
officehoder interest water charges have
been paid until the state holds the sack to the extent
of more than $4,000 the property given security?
Is it true is it not true that loans Nos S47 and $40
made to husband and wife, both being prominent
Republican politicians the amount of the loans being
$4,000 and the amount of the water charges against the
land still unpaid being $2958.O7?
Is it is it not true that interest has ever been
paid loan No 62 for $4,000 loan made
July 1912 and that the state stands to advance
than $4,000 to defaued taxes and water charges and
to cover defaulted interest2
This was what the Capital News story about that
has caused such sweat to upon the brows OF the
majority members of the state land board Is it any
wonder they trying to detrac attention from the main
thngthe facts-by raising hue and cry about where
the Capital News got the information9
The truth of the matter is the Capital News always
gets the it always gets it first and it always gets it
right
Will that penetrate the worried heads Of the bowling

THE DIFFERENCE.

The orators Of Democracy, in the
Maine campaign, dwelt largely on the
fact that the country is prospecting,
but failed to state that this prosper
ity, or at least a considerable portion
of it, was due to manufacture, trade
and commerce in articles that are
created to produce devastation and
destruction in property and life; that
fill the world with blind, helpless and
crippled, that transforms populous vii
lagos and fruitful fields into grave
yards; that makes wives widows, lit
tie children orphans, and prosperity
that Gods people in every part of the
world are daily and hourly praying
will end speedily.
Prosperity existed during Rcpubli-
can administrations. A prosperity
that was due to manufacture, trade
and commerce in articles that clothed
the naked, fed the hungry, built up
instead of destroying, and made hui
man life everywhere more worth liv-
ing.
There is a difference.

MR.. WHITNEY'S LATEST PROPO-
SITION

Tuesday afternoon of this week, A.
u. Whitney of the Light and Power
Company appeared before the City
Council with an entirely new PROPOSE
ton for handling the vexatious light
ing and pumping problem which the
local authorities have been endeavor-
ing to solve for the past several
months.
Tuesday was the day set for the
opening of bids for the construction
Of the proposed municipal plant, and
1T was shortly before the bids were
opened that Mr.. Whitney informally
laid his proposition before the city
fathers.
The first section of Mr.. Whitney's
proposition, which appears in full on
this page, cOntemplates saving the
city at least 1900 per year for pump
ing; that is, he agrees that it will
not cost the city more than $1,000,
where it now costs $500 for the
same service. This offer is condition
ed upon the. city installing a stand
pipe and electric pumps of modern
and efficient make.
The second proposition reduces the
street lighting from $50 to $50 per
ight-a saving of 33 1-3 per cent
If nitrogen lamps are used, he con-
tends that the reduction will be still
more. In this connection he offers to
install and maintain five-light white
way posts for $50 each per year.
Electric power rates are materially
decreased. A cooking rate of IA
cents has been named. Commercial
lighting will remain at 10 cents per
. K. w. for the small user, gradually
being reduced to cents.
Mr.. Whitney has negotiated for the
taking over of the power and water
rights of the Central Minnesota Power
and Milling Company and, if he is
given franchise, he guarantees with
in eight months time to erect a con-
crete and steel dam west of the
bridge, and also an attractive power
house which will enhance the beauty
and attractiveness of the park. The
existing conditions of the past few
weeks have demonstrated very clear
~ that the present dam is in very
preearious condition. Should it go
out, it is problematical whether or not
it would be rebuilt. The accepting of
the Whitney proposition would mean
tho perpetuating of both the dam and
the milling industry in the city.
Many of the prominent business
men of the city have expressed the
hope to the Herald that the Council
will investigate this latest PROPOSE
ton very carefully before letting any
contracts for municipal plant.
The Herald understands that the
bids Tuesday ranged from about
$4,000 for steam plant, to about
$4,000 for an oil burning plant.
The bids did not take into consider
alton the installing Of meters, which
means another $4,000, at least, and
there may be other important items OF
expense in connection with the install
lation of a new plant here.
