SPECIAL ELECTION
SET FOR june 9Th h.
NEW ULM CITIZENS TO DECIDE.
ON MUNICIPAL PLANT
PROPOSITION
BOND ISSUE IN THE SUM OF
$3.50, 900 TO BE VOTED
UPON.

A special election on the bond issue
for the erection Of the proposed new
municipal power plant in North German
park will be held Tuesday, June 8. The
bond issue to be voted on was placed at
$3.50, 900 at a special council meeting
yesterday noon. This puts the matter
up to the voters Of the city. They will
have to decide whether New Uln is
going to have new municipal power
plant that will be large and efficient
enough to be of service. to the city for
many years to come
Council Did Its Duty.
The city fathers have done their duty
IN regard to this matter. For many
months they have discussed it in a most
thorough and painstaking manner. A
large number of special meetings were
held to gather the necessary information
and to get at the bottom Of the question
so as to serve the city in the best way
possible.
AS on previous occasions when this
matter was up for discussion President
u. Is. krook again at a special meeting
Monday evening called attentionto the
fact that the council never tried to force
decision in regard to the building Of a
new plant. The councillors always con-
sldered the possibility of having the old
plant improved and enlarged if that
should prove expedient and advisable
in consideration of the high cost of build
ing material and labor at the present
time. Mr.. Krook added, however, that
before the final decision is made it must
be kept In mind that the change at the
old plant would entail an expenditure
almost as big as the one for the new
plant the difference having been placed
at between $4,000 and $4O,000--and
that the efficiencysof the new plant would
be by far greater than that OF the Old
one. These things should be made
known to the people to place them in a
position where they understand the
matter thoroughly and are able to form
their own opinion.
Sale of Bonds.
The sale Of the bonds is another matter
that will come up for consideration as
soon as the people have decided to have
them issued. Every citizen, without
exception, will have to get interested in
this matter, Mr.. Krook stated, because
the larger portion of the issue will have
to be sold in the citySof New Ulm. It
will be good Investment, free from all
taxes and at 5 per cent interest, according
to present plans. So far no offer has
been made from an outside bonding firm
to buy part of the bonds.
Receive Contract.
Gulden & Vercoe were. awarded the
contract for plumbing and heating Of the
new power plant, in the sum Of 81 ,945.

CANDIDATE CHOSEN
STEEL TRUST ALLOWS AMB1-
GUOUS TAX PLANK IN
PLATE ORM.
PREUs ONLY PRE-CoNvENTIoN
CANDIDATE OPPOSED TO
TONNAGE TAX.

j. A.. u. Preus, friend OF the steel
trust, was Endorsed by the Lindquist-
Burnquist machines elimination con-
vention" at St. Paul last week to OPP
pose Doctor Henrik Shipstead, far
mer-labor candidate for governor.
Preus, according to the admission OF
the Duluth News-Tribune, which is
owned by G. G.. Hartley, iron ore
operator, is openly against any kind OF
tonnage tax legislation. To fool the
voters, the convention adopted a plank
for a fair" tonnage tax law, which would
give Governor" Preus loophole
through which to veto any tonnage tax
measure passed.
The manipulation Of the convention
was so raw that julius A. Schmahl and
w. F. Schilling, Mortified farmer,
bolted.
The politicians serving the steel trust
were not quite able to prevent the adop-
ton Of tonnage tax plank in the plat
form, so Minnesota will be treated to
the novelty" Of an anti-tonnage tax
candidate running on a tonnage tax
platform.
The tonnage tax plank, however, is
capable OF various interpretations, as
speakers at the convention pointed out
1t reads:
1--WE favor the enactment Of fair and
equitable tonnage tax on iron ore. Z
E Senator w. A. Nolan of Mower county
chairman Of the committee that drafted
the platform, told the convention that
no one could possibly object to fair
tax.
Eve shall ask the gentlemen from
northern Minnesota to come down and
assist the legislature in drafting tonnage
tax bill so it will be fair and satisfactory
to all.
Mayor Joseph Austin Of Chisholm
previously had complained that the
plank from the Nonpartisan league
He referred to the tonnage tax as some
thing strictly Russian and indicated

Schmahl Knew.
Preus was supported by every dele

An active campaign in the iron range

highly interesting and instructive, goes
without saying. The time-worn, thread
bare political tricks employed by plumber

farmer-labor candidates.
