So far, then, it seems very easy,
but here comes the next fellow and
proves TO us even more conclusively
that we may benefit ourselves even
to a much greater extent by oper-
ating III own plant. So what are
you going to do about it, Mr.. Voter?
This case has now had many in
vestigations, examinations and con-
situations of specialists, but no re-
suits so far:
Supposing we get down to facts
and see il we have a basis from
which to start to get a solution of
this matter, we would take for our
basis, 'cost of production In the
case of the municipality owned plant
the figures are placed at 2.S5 per
kilowatt hour (granted by the OPP
%ponent). In the case of the North
ern States Power Co. the cost is
placed at approximately 2.75 per
kilowatt hour, but in this case the
figures are disputed on the ground
that we have no substantial guaran-
tee that the Northern States Power
Co. will furnish continuous current
at this rate. 1t is reasoned that it
would be a very easy matter for them
to force a higher rate by simply
neglecting to furnish us with current
several days at a time, and paying
the few dollars that they agree to
pay for every day the current is off.
1t is reasoned that this thing would
not have to be pulled off very many
times before THE Victims would
be willing to pay an increased rate
of anywhere from rs to rs per ZEN
in order that we might have lights.
We should like to submit to you n
few questions before you cast your
vote in this matter.
Do you think that the contract, as
drawn at the present time, amounts
to anything as a protection of our
interests?
Can you find anything in this con-
States Power Co. from forcing a SUBJ
stantial increase in rates whenever
they choose to do so?
Do you think that our interests
are safe in the hands of a corpora
ton Of this kind, when we surrender
all our rights. in return for which
we receive very slight guaranty of
service?
Do you think that these people are
the only mes benefited, in Sioux
Falls, by crippling the industries of
Madison?
Do you think ii will lift us out of
our ~predicament if Jake or Joe gets
up and declares it to be a 'swindle'
after we have surrendered our rights
by signing the contract. and have no
lights?
Don't you think that if we should
buy current from Sioux Falls we
would have TO maintain an emery
ency plant in order to have service
every day?
And don't you think that such a

ing that we must not fail to come
out and vote these bonds, otherwise
we may be forced to take up with
