THE ELECTRIC CURRENT
SITUATION


IN nice. easy tone of voice, one
.,;oh+ last week. we were informed
that Hamilton may not at this time
have to spend its $65o,ooO bond issue
for new electric plant. We are eoio
that city council may enter into
contract with the Union Gas and
Electric Company, of Cincinnati, for
electric current. That the Union Gas
and Electric Company was wiling 70
furnish Hamilton, under a fve-year
contract, electric current at rate
lower than Hamilton can make it.
Let's see, just short time ago, we
bere informed unless we did something
real oucik that the city was going to
be in darkness, that the present plant
was Inadequate to care for the city's
needs Of electric current. Mayor Smith
anpointed a committee to go into the
situation. The committee reported
that current could not be secured
from DAYTON nor Cincinnati for love
nor money. 1t was intimated that the
squeeze" was going to be used on
Hamilton to make it relinquish It's
electric plant, that there was a deep
scheme laid to mulct Hamilton.
Mayor Smith called special cleo
tion for referendum on issuing
$3.50, 600 worth of bonds to erect q
new and larger plant. The people re
sponded and by their votes indicated
that they didn't propose to be hello
up and shook down by any outside
concern.
Now comes the proposal from the
Union Gas and Electric Company tc
furnish Hamilton with current at 8
rate lower than it can make it. Why
this sudden "right-about-face" on tht
part of the U. G. & E. Compan!
We are also told that it is under
stood that the contract is all read.
and if council sees fit, can be entered
into at once Who authorized the pre-

this all done? And why have thes'
negotiations been taking place with
out the knowledge of the people, th'
people who have already stated mos
emphatically by voting bonds for
new plant, just what they want? Ar

Citizens, wake up There are fey

electric current The Union Gas and
Electric Company, of Cincinnati,
wants five-year contract to furnish
ne with electric current, and at the
end of five years, plu-ey! goes the
electric plant. Then the command will
he given to "stand and deliver" Wake
up. Mr. Citizen, protect your interests,
If that contract is ever entered into
your electric plant is gone and you
will never be able again to lay claim
to municipal ownership of your cleo
trio plant, and, believe US, you will pay
rate for electric current such as
YOU have never dreamed of before
of paying
To man up tree, there is rot

and the sooner it is removed the bet

The people of this city voted $780,
600 for new electric plant and that
is what the people want The sooner
some people realize this the better il
will be for their political health.
Then there are few who are not
interested politically who will perhaps
be better off too if they sit down and
study the peoples wants.
There doesn't seem to be very

REPUBLICAN BID BOLD

man said:
"Th4 Republican bid is bold. 1t

woman who ever stood for any form

AN UNPOPULAR NAME
Inder the above caption the Ports,

Under the above caption the Ports
mouth Labor Review says:
"The whirligig of elections, like
that of time, brings about its re-
venges. Whether the Volstead act is
modified or not, Mr. Volstead himself
has been beaten at the primary cleo
tion in the Seventh Minnesota district.
He will be converted by it from con-
gresham into a civilian, from gem
tleman of 100 per cent publicity into
, an individual of less than one-half of
one per cent of ohscurity. Unwept,
unhonored and unsung, except by the
Anti-Saloon League, he dries up and
blows away in the period of exces-
sive drought which he has helped to
bring upon the country, says the Bal
timore Sun. The man who beat him
in the republican primary is dry, too,
bat he might not have won over a
candidate whose name was not Vol
stead 1t was a name to give any
rival an unfair advantage, 1t would
arouse resentment and anger even in
the arid regions Of a political Sahara
of traditional prohibition purity like
Maine, much more than in a state like
Minnesota, which has only recently
been dragged to the altar of virtue by
the truculent Volstead act. 1t is safer
to be named anything but Volstead
during this campaign, if you have any
political aspirations. Another straw
apparently indicating Minnesota 8
thirsty temper is furnished by the
| triumph of the democratic candidate
in the Fourth Minnesota district,
WHOSE slogan WdSJ am WrlnglnR
wet" People are demanding higher
percentages of everything just now
higher percentages of honesty, or
courage, of manhood. The one-half of
one per cent man will no longer do. !"
Unfortunately, since the above was
written, the Minnesota supreme court
has ruled in favor of Congressman
Volstead, and it remains to be seen
how the thirsty" of the Seventh
Minnesota district take to Volstead
at the regular election in November

RLOCKADED CROSSINGS

SAAoGh10KI0
How long will the people have to
stand for the blockading of the street
crossings by long freight trains for
long periods of time? Not day
passes but what this happens. Work
ing people going to and from their
work are held up until sometimes they
have barely time enough to throw their
meals into them and get back to their
jobs. Many times it is utterly impos-
sible for them to get to eat as much
as they want. Much indignation is
aroused and the city officials are much
condemned for their seeming neglect
to stop the custom. All this is be-
cause the crossings are blocked for
as much as fifteen minutes, and some
times longer. It isn't the freight
crews who are altogether to be blam-
ed for this, but the switching crews.
They get cut of cars on the main
track up around Vine street and the
Ford plant, and act as though they
don't know how to get them off when
freight train hoves in sight. And
further, they act as though they did
MT care how much they discommode
the public in making them wait long
times to cross the street. These are
the fellows the police ought to get.
We know that the city hasn't any more
police than it needs, but here is some
thing that should have attention. One
officer should be placed along the rail
road on Fourth street and let him time
the switching crews, and every time
that they violate the city ordinance,
sign warrants for them and bring
them before Judge Kautz. And when
they are brought before his honor
they should be given the extreme
limit; and when this is done, for
goodness sake-forget the suspended
fine. Make it stand About one or
two whirls of this kind will stop the
growing habit. They do say-when
one is talked about, especially unfav-
orably, that his ears ring; well, if
such is the case, then some of the Of
fcials' ears ought to sound like all the
bells, anvils and cannon in the world
are inside them when one of those
long freight trains on the B. & O.
railroad blockade the city's streets
from the Ford plant to Hanover
street.

Federal Judge Dayton, Of the north
ern district of West Virginia, is dead.
During his judgeship he attracted
wide attention by the injunction grant
ed in the Hitchman Coal and Coke
Company case. Workingmen and
mankind in general would have been
better off if this decision had never
been rendered, for if ever the shackles
have been placed on workingmen, it
was done by this decision. 1t is under
this decision that local shop induced
a number of its employees to sign away
all rights of American citizenship.
The change is expected soon, as such
methods cannot endure
for long. If it did, Washington, jeff
erson and Lincoln would turn over in
their graves.
