There is merry scrap on over the
location of the proposed hydro-electric
plant. The commission recommended
the Mobridge site as the cheapest,
and the Mulehead site as the next
best, although the latter would be
capable of developing more power.
The north part of the state naturally
is pushing for the Mobridge cite and
the south part for the Mulehead. The
legislature may decide to shift the
responsibility, both as to location and
as to advisability of loading the state
with q twenty million dollar debt, to
vote of the people. The promised
service Of unlimited current at two
cents a kilowatt hour is very alluring
and of course everyone wants it. but
current at that price can only be fur
nished in one of two wavs. Either
an enormous amount of current must
be sold in order to pay interest on
such debt in addition to the cost of
operation, or else the taxpayers,
whether benefciaries of the service
or not. would have to pay the defici-
ency by extra taxation. The latter
alternative would be unjust to those
30 situated that they could get no
benefit. There is another plan that
might be adopted, and that is, instead
of promising current at two cents a
kilowatt henr. to build the plant and
charge the consumers of current q
rate that would make the plant self
sustaining. This would necessitate a
higher charge at first, but as the sale
Of current increased the rate could be
proportionately diminished. Those
who received the benefit of the SER
vice could not expect to receive cheap
rates at the expense of those who
could receive no benefit, and if they
have the faith that they profess in
the rapid growth in the sale of cur.
rent they could not consistently object
to paying q little higher rate for 8
few months until the consumption

he proposes government ownership of
railroads, shipping, telegraphs: oil
and coal lande, and he criticizes the
republican platform because it does
not promise noe to repeal the federal
reserve and the farm loan laws. Mr.
Lewis seems to have seen ray of
light on the league question, but his
vision is still clouded on the railroad
and telegraph questions. Our expe-
rfence in government management of
those lines does not justify repeti
tion of the experiment. And his ref.
erence to the federal reserve and
farm loan laws is simply silly. The
platform does not promise not to re-
peal the gold standard, nor the abol i.

 There has been said by partisan writer patriot ic support is due only to patriotic service" and it that he is impressed with the idea that he has formulated a striking opigram in rebuke to who pleaded for loyalty to country and against the dispersal of the national energies in partisan it is applied to the existing situation Our pres troubles arise from the difference of opinion as to what constitutes patriotic service These diff fcrences numerous and varied. Hence the cpl gram merely becomes plattude
 There exists, however, occasion to rebuke the lit tie Americans who feverishly clutch from foreign the insults the dcprecatons and the assaults upon this country and give them approval and wide publicity, thinking thereby that they are improving certain projects of their devising For their benefit and correction there two ancient sayings that should be quoted The one is Tt is a dirty bird that befouls it's own nest, and the other the famous utterance of Decatur: My country, may she ever be right, but right wrong my country!"
