All the Cards on the Table
look Them Over

Madison sacrifices nothing if it takes advantage ofthe offer Of the Northern
States Power Company and buys electricity on wholesale basis at a low rate.
By contracting for power instead of purchasing fuel etc, the city will save not
assured of an ample supply of electricity for lighting, industrial power, house
hold appliances and cooking.
Under this arrangement the city will! continue to own and operate the cleo
trcal business and will in no way lose it's independence
In case it should be decided at some future time that the city should build its
own manufacturing plant, the plant al be constructed at a much lower cost than
at present. The cost of building and equipping a power station is fully so per cent
more than ever before.
The proposed contract on file and open to examination mint the office ofthe City
Auditor isp plainly written and contains no "jokers" If there are any points in it
not entirely satisfactory to the City, the Company is willing t come more than half
way in reaching a. understanding which meets any reasonable requirement
Northern States Power Company has been serving the people ten years We
have upwards of 5000 stockholders in the territory served and would like to have
every citizen a partner in the enterprise The history of the organization is a
open book. 1t performs its obligations and continues to grow because it enjoys
public confidence.
The cities and towns that have closed down their expensive small generating
plants and saved substantial amounts by purchasing electricity at wholesale from
Northern States Power Company offer convincing evidence of the merit of what
IS Offered to Madison. Every one of these moneysav1ng, actual experiences is
open to investigation, and the facts bear out or statements
Take, for example, the statement of the Superintendent of the municipal plant
of Kasson, Minnesota who says: "Our business relations with the Northern States
Power Company are and have been since January ], 1917, very profitable We
have not had a single shut down in two years and our price per Klowatt hour has
not been increased due to war conditions The beauty of our contract with the
Company is that there is no limit on the sze Of our load. Wehave doubled our bust
ness since I'LL connection and it has not cost us n cent outside of the services
and meters ito take OF this additional business"
81 can safely state that it was the very best thing our city ever
accomplished as far back as can remember"

Certainly the many advantages Offered to the people Of Madison by Our whole

What the Money-Saving Wholesale
Power Offer Provides

The wholesale electric power proposition Offered 10 Madison is offered for a
period of fifteen years and is covered by a proposed contracto IN file with the City
Auditor and which can be amended in any respect in vhichiti tbs not entirely salts
factory. The provisions briefly stated, are as follows:
l. The Company agrees to extend it's modern transmission lines connecting
with the large water power and steam station at Sioux Falls to the city limits of
Madison and o install at its expense the necessary substaton, transformers and
other apparatus necessary to deliver electricity at the voltage carried by the chys
local distributing system for all lighting, heating and power requirements in Mad
iSn. .
2 This is to be done within 90 days from the date of the contract, blanks be-
ing left in the draft for proper entry.
g. The supply of electricity is offered at ne of two rate schedules at the op-
ton of the city, and under either schedule the city is expected to take at least
$4,000 worth of electricity during a year. One of the rate schedules is IS follows:
Demand Charge
For each Knowatt of the first 100 Kiowatts If annual demand $4,000
per year
Foreach Klowtt in excess of 100 KIowatts If annual demand s24oo
Plus the following energy charges
For each Kiowatt hour of the first 10000 Klowatt hours in one
month 21c
For each Kiowatt hour in excess of 10000 KIowatt hours in one
Operation of the ciys fire pumps is not to be figured in determining the n
nual maximum demand.
The optional schedule is a straight emery charge, as follows:
For each KloWatt hour of the first $1,000 Klowatt hours in on
month, 312c
For each Klowatt hour of the next 10000 Klowatt hours in one
For each Klowatt hour in excess of $4,000 Klowat hours in one
month, 2bc
would be about 2Ac per Kiowatt hour. 1t will become less as larger quantities of
electricity are used
A. Full arrangements re provided for measuring the current, checking by
the city, inspection and testing of meters, rebates if meters arei Inaccurate ec.
S In case of unavoidable accidents, fires, explosions, floods strikes or fed
eral or state interference, both city and Company aep protected from consequences
beyond their control IT, however, the Company shall fail to deliver any current
for a period of more than six consecutive days the Company must pay 500 a day
penalty fr each additional day that a failure continues. Ii service lSn lot provided
in reasonable time the city has the power to cancel the contract altogether.
6 The various details as o care of property protection against damages,
arrangement for repairs etc, are covered by definite clauses
The Companys offer is in every way fair, businessike and
straightforward and will result in large annual saving to the city.

THE DESIGN OF ESSEX
CAR TO BE FOLLOWED
IN OTHER MOTOR CARS

There will be but little new in the
automobile field within the nexl
twelve months says J Edward Schip-
per, technical editor of Automotive
Industries, New York The trend will
he toward detailed refinements rather
than radical changes. Lightness high
quality, economy and greater accessi-
bility will result in better perform
ance.
The tendency in general design will
be toward lighter cars in which the
ightness is secured by more scientif.~
design and better utilization of space
This is well eSemplfied in the Es-
sex which is attracting so much at
tention throughout the United States.
said B. B. Elkins yesterday THE
wonderful performances of the Essex
will result in other cars following
its design.
t'As a result the car in the future,
like the Essex, will get better perfor-
nance and have more room for driv-
err and passenger, although mounted
on a shorter wheelbase than the aver
age car of today. There will also be
better acceleration and greater power
on hills. The lighter weight will re-
duce upkeep to a minimum.
A question often asked automobile
engineers is what effect the war is
going to have on car design. The war
is not going to have any material eff
feet on car bodies or the general APP
pearance of cars. although there is
no doubt that the lessons learned in
the last two years will leave their i'm
print in a number of important de-
tails. t
I'm the average car of the future.
ii will no longer be necessary for q
man TO pay a bin of 50 or $40 to
reach some part of his car that costs
so cents to replace. The cost of au-
tomoDile labor is so high that it is
very bad efficiency to have an mac
cessible car.
I'm the Essex for instance, the de-
signers have paid great attention to
this detail and the result is that every
part of the mechanism of the car can
be reached with the smallest possible
expenditure of labor"

MEXICAN SOLONS
DIVIDED ON LAWS
/ REGARDING MINES
Measure Prohibiting Foreign
erS Owning Property Near
Border and Sea and One
FavOring Aliens Proposed.
10y Sosnise JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED ~,srI


FL Paso, Tex, April 1.-Two pro-
posed mining bills will be submitted
10 the Mexican national congress
when ii meets May /.
Copies of the two proposed mining
laws, bound in book form, showing
the two bills in parallel columns, were
received here today. One was drafted
by the mining department of the min
istry of commerce, industries and la
Dor, and the other by the mining COM
mission of the National Industrial
congress held in Mexico City in 1918,
The first proposes TO prohibit for
eign corporations from holding claims
within one hundred kilometers of the
border or fifty kilometers of the sea-
coast, and otherwise restricts mining
development by foreign interests. The
commissions bill favors foreign i'm
Vestments and development one par
agTaph reading:
The socaIled question of national
ism arose in the hope that, sooner or
later. the need of the country to REM
edy the economic crisis which is hold
ing back development and national
reconstruction would force the adop-
ton of measures TO encourage the in
vestmepts of foreign capital, the UNI
dersigned confined themselves to pro
posing that the rights of foreign in
individuals and companies to acquire
miI.es should be governed by the law
applying to foreign relations.
We hold that a mining law should
not be converted into a law govern
ing foreign relations"
A provision in the mining depart
ment's proposed Till requires smelt-
ers and mills to publish their tariffs
and 10 accept all custom ores at the
same price for the same grade, re-
gardless of quantity. This. local min
irn men cav. would he a discrimina-
ton against the large producers in
favor OF the small mine owners. This
clause is opposed by the industrial
congress commission. All claims must
be worked or forfeited If this bill be-
comes a law This would be confisca-
tory mining men say.
