Must Defeat Disloyalists.

'1f in any congressional or senatorial
election there prove to be danger of the
election of disloyal candidates. it will be-
come the duty of Americans, regardless
of party affiliations, to defeat such can
ddates and to set loyalty to the nation
above personal loyalty to the party The
defeat of men supporting the Union in the
congressional election of 1862 did much to
lengthen that war. and a like result in the
elections of 1863 and 1864 would have en-
abled the disloyalists to put the Union in
peril.

must be supremely American Every

WILL AVERAGE ABOUT
IS PER CENT INCREASE
hiaher Rate is Granted For Period Of
tho War and Six Months After
Council Ordered to Prepare Ordinance
Making Increase, and Distributing
Il Between Light and Power Rates.

Rates for electric light and power
in the city are to be advanced. Fol-
lowing hearing before the state
board Of Cancellation, held here
Wednesday on The application of the
Iowa Railway and Light Company for
an increase In its light and power
rates, the state board. late in the day,
ordered an increase equal to l cent
per kilowatt Tor both light and power
The city council was ordered to pre-
pare within ten days an ordinance in
creasing the rates and distributing the
increase between the rates for light
and for power.
The increase is granted by the board
for the period OF the war and for six
months after. The city, which ac-
cording to Mayor Reilly, did not agree
to be bound by the finding of the
board in advance of the hearing, was
drawn into it by the application Of
the Iowa Railway and Light Company.
The city can contest the award by
taking the case into the federal court,
but whether this will be done in view
in it's experience in fighting the gas
case, Mayor Reilly thought doubtful.
Average About IS Per Cent
The average increase tor the con-
sumner Of electric light will under the
award probably be about Is per cent
above their present bills. The public
utilities company has contended that
the average rate for electric light has
been III cents per kilowatt. On that
basis the average increase would be
about Is per cent.
The finding Of the board. which first
holds that the company is entitled to
an increase in rates says:
1.-The complainant is entitled to an
increase in rates for electric light and
power in the city of Marshalltown
equal to 1 cent per kilowatt for all
current furnished for power and light
purposes in the said city of Marshall
town, and that the ordinance rate be
increased to that extent during the
period of the war and for ak months
thereafter.
"As to the manner in which said in
crease shall be distributed between
current used for power purposes and
current furnished for lighting pur-
poses:
1T is ordered that subject to the
approval of this board, the city coun-
Gil Of MarshaIltown. within tho next
ten days, prepare and submit to the
board an ordinance providing for said
increase and providing for said dis
tribution." The order u signed by
