VOTE TO SAVE OUR ELECTRIC
PLANT

Much is at stake for the future of
the municipal electric light plant at
the coming election next Tuesday. On
the result of that election hinges the
question of whether or not we are to
own our own plant and retain our
independence, or be turned over into
the hands of big corporation which
is now standing over US with sharp
claws outstretched to grasp us and
hold us forever in its clutches of
greed and high prices Are the voters
of Hamilton going to be so blind to
their own interests as to let this be
put over on them and allow them
selves to be led into a trap from
which they may never escape simply
because our daily newspapers are
with the corporation as against the
best interests of the people and
and spreading its propaganda? The
Press doesn't believe such is the case.
Whether the dailies are knowingly op-
posing the peoples best interests OF
not the Press is not saying. The
Press leaves this with people to reach
their own conclusion
The Press doesn't believe, however,
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-11-02

that the Hamilton people are going
to walk into this trap next Tuesday
with their eyes open, but the Press
does believe that there is going to be
a decree registered so emphatic as to
leave no doubt whatever as to just
how the people feel on this matter
that is, that they want our present
plant enlarged And it is important
that the people should speak out en-
phatically, for if the friends of the
local plant are defeated it will mean
that the big corporation will step in
and by injunction stop the work of
enlarging the plant which is about to
start, until such men go into office
who will put a permanent stop to any
further thought of enlarging the
present plant and will hook up with
the outside concern. On the other
hand, if the people by their vote make
it known that they want no outside
interference, the enemy is likely to
lay back.
Don't overlook the fact, Mr.. Voter,
that the advertisements of the big
power company continue running q
number of times each week. They
bring no outward return and they
are not being run for the health OF
the power company-nor for the
newspapers.
There is persistent rumor, of the
undercurrent kind, going about that

HUNGER is THE HUNGRIEST

THING IHERE lS
If anybody ever had the idea that
food would still the cravings of hum
ger that person made great mis-
take. Hunger builds up the body and
makes it capable of bigger appetite.
That's what you get for your thanks
when you start out to feed the beast.
Also that's what the beast gets when
it starts out to feed itself.
Labor first had hunger for another
piece of black bread. Then it had a
hunger for something to put on the
bread. 1t had hunger for a house,
then for a house with more windows
and more rooms and with rugs on
the floor
Invention conspired with hunger
and made men want clothes of mill
spun cloth, shirts of finer texture and
better cut. Invention and hunger
made labor want pianos, telephones,
monographs, pictures. Nobody want
ed monograph or telephone fifty
years ago.
Of little use is a life made richer
by finer material surroundings if you
must come home after ten, twelve,
fourteen hours of labor, exhausted,
ready for stupor sleep. The brain,
groping for its right to comprehend
it's surroundings and to enjoy beauty
and music and be fit for thought,
YES, for exultation and exaltation,
fights for freedom from fatigue. The
work-day must not rob it of its life.
The fine correlation between the
human desire for shorter work day
and the development of machinery is
what helped to make a richer life
possible. Isn't it the fact that the
machine woke up the race and gave it
