POWER PLAN
BEING URGED
Petitions Emphasize Ad-
vantages of Kettle
Rapids Site.
Ideal Location Would Serve
Large Territory, Spon-
SOrS Claim.

For many years a relentless fight
has been led by progressives in Con-
gress and in legislatures throughout
this section of the nation, desiring
to do away with some of the eX-
ploitation by certain power trusts
and to spread the conveniences Of
fered by electricity to more residents
throughout the nation, especially In
the rural sections. Pine county has
a site on the st. CroiX river just
south of where the Kettle river joins
that stream, which is suitable Tor
some such project, indicates recent
surveys made.
Kettle Rapids is the name given
to the place and lies just twelve
miles southeast of Pine City ana
seven miles northwest of Grantsburg,
Wis. The Northern States Power
Company lost it's 30-year license on
Nov. 1, 1882, but has retained Its
flowage rights on the river. Mean
while there has been a new inter-
county municipal power district
brought into existence which en-
braces some so miles on the Wiscon-
sin side of the st. CroiX. This is the
result of an overwhelming vote OF
the people there in August, 1885. The
inter-county municipal power district
is seeking a source of cheap pub
licly-owned electric energy for its
people and would, it is estimated
create considerable market for cleo
trio power produced at Kettle Rapids.
1t is recommended by those having
made a study of the situation as hav-
ing outstanding possibilities for pub
lie power in the northwest.
An Ideal Location.
Several features mapped out by
those leading in the development OF
this project and which would make
Kettle Rapids a great natural water
power site have been outlined as fol-
lows:
1.-The river flow is dependable; its
bed is glacial drift capable of with
standing the pressure of head waters
maintained by the dam. The rock
built hills on the east and west form
a natural gorge. A survey by the War
Department of the United States has

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Between fascism and liberalism all
everlasting war is going on, at the
polls, too.
Last Sunday, for instance, the Span
ish people balloted for 473 presiden-
tial electors who, with a correspond
ing number of members of the parlia-
ment, on May will choose success
sor to Niceto Alcala Zamora, uncere-
moniously driven from office by that
national assembly a few weeks ago.
AS the liberals some months back
won a great victory, the fascists de-
cided to abstain from voting, and the
result, of course, had to be an over
whelming liberal victory.
On that same Sunday the French
people began to elect members of
their chamber of deputies, and next
Sunday run-off elections will complete
that transaction.
So far, the results indicate a strong
trend i'm the direction of liberalism,
but, naturally, nothing conclusive
may be said about the final outcome
until after the election on May 3.
French Parties.
There are in France something like
nineteen political groups represented
in the chamber; most of them are too
unimportant to be known as parties,
but, acting in unison, the minority
groups can exert decisive influence.
AS matter of fact, there are really
but four major political parties; on
the right there are the Republican
Federation and the Democratic Alli-
ance which, together, form the con-
sentative, even-at times-the reac-
tionary wing; while these parties are
not officially fascist, they have quite
strong leanings in that direction.
Opposing this constellation are the
Radical SocialiSts-far more mod
crate than the first part of the name
would indicate in America-the So
cialists and the Communists; tOgeth-
er these parties, at present the strong
est in France, form the socalled
Front populaire." They have so
manipulated the politics of the pres
ent day that the impression is left
with observers that the election of
last Sunday, and that of week later.
is being fought primarily on the issue
of fascism.
