AUGUST 20, 1009. Mr. BuIIard' Reasons. Editor Tribune. I am going to cast my voto against the proposed issue of Water Bonds next Tuesday, for the following reasons: I will get no more water, no bettor water, and no cheaper water, than I nm getting at present Why then, should I vote an additional mortgage upon my property for somothlng that I do not need, and do not want. A new plant could not como any whor near paying tho fixed charges for interest and maintenance, unless the people wore forced to connect with it, and this would mean an additional tux of at least fifteen dollars to each consumer, or fifteen thousand dollars entirely unnecessary expense While I believe in tho theory of municipal ownership, in order to look for its nractlcal success we- must have a whole lot of heavenly conditions which , . A- - . f t Al.f uo not seem to me to exist is una community. Tho Water Company is my servant. and so far has rendered mo service that has been cntirelv satisfactorv Tho office holder, and civic employe is su poBcd to be tho servant of the people, but he usually wastes n wnoie lot of timo trying to bo boss. I believe in an honest day's work for an honest day's pay, and In an honoRt day's pay for an honest day's work. The firivato corporation usually gets what t navs for. and pays tho market price. Tho municipality usually pays the highest prico. and acta tho least for it. I am not an apologist for tho Water Company. I owo It nothing; It owes me nothing. If it wore not willing to give mo fair service at a reasonable cost, it should, and enn bo forced to do so, but it is entitled to a fair profit, on a fair valuation of its real property. If it is trvincr to cam or tret both dividends on its stock, and interest on ts bonds, the aggregate representing more than the real valuo or tho property, thero is remody, and it can bo applied. x bcllovo that a limited franchise can be drawn that will bo acceptable both to tho people and tho Wntcr Company; that under its provisions tho much needed extensions would be speedily constructed, and no ono would be obliged to pay for what ho did not get and did not want. F. E. BulIjAHD, Some Waterworks Facts. Editor Tiiujunb: I desire to call your ultention to a few facts in referenco to tho water works problem which each and every property ownor in tho city should know .and have a chanco to consider before .sgrolng to tho polls to cast his voto for -Jior against tho proposed water bonds. "!S5i Tho question has now simmered down to u puroiy uusinoss proposition. The citv has offorcd $00,000 for tho water plant: tho company rofusod this, but odors to sell, and assorts that it hus sold tho plant to tho city at tho nn praised value, namely $85,000. Now tho difference, which is $25,000, would cost each property owner during the noxt twenty years tho small sum of ono dollar per your. That io about the avorage amount, but c largo numbor ol workinamen who own their homes would not have to pay over fifty cents each year, whllo tho larger proporty ownor would pay prohably two or thre'o dollars each. Now in order to savo this ridicuously insignificant amount tho voters aro naked to enter into i costly fight with tho water company They aro asked to voto for tho water bonds which means n voto to confiscat nr. lease suo.uuu worth ot tholr own proporty, in tho shape of their house connections with tho old mains, all of which thoy will havo to roplaco immd lately, if tho bonds carry, in connect ing with tho now mains which it is pro posed to lay in tho alleys, thus nronib King tho use of a single foot of tho old connections. But this is not all. Tho promoters of this proposition to build a now plant uo not intend uy a long shot to lay i wator main in each alley with tho pro poseu 3iuu,uuu. uortainiy not more thn ono in ovory third alloy. Tho unfortunates, thorefore, who havo not a sufficient pull to havo their particular alloy selected as tho ono in which to loy tho main will bo obliged to pny trom llfty to ono hundred dol lars each to replace their houso con nectlons which thoy foolishly confis cated bv voting for tho bonda. If the city undertakes to correct thie injustice it can do so only by voting ad ditional bonds later, all of which the taxpayers will havo to pay anyhow. Can any rational man figure out how and where he is going to save money uy supporting thia wild-eyed prop osition. In viow of these facts as well as the probability of protracted and costly law suit and the possibility of a decis ion adverse to tho city in tho end, every taxpayer who has not become hysteri cal in regard to this matter ought to readily see that the step proposed wowa ue suiciaai to tno city's in terests at that timo. N. McCaiie An Article from Mayor Patterson. To tho Voters and Taxpayers: Since sunmitting tho water bond proposition I havo taken pains to us certuin how municipal ownership of water plants wns affectinc tho water consumer and the tax payers in towns similar to North Platto. In ovorv in- st.inco brought to my attention I have found that it resulted in lower taxes and in furnishing water to the consumorat from ono-tnird to ono-hnlf of tho rates prevailing in North P atte It would make this arthila too lengthy to attempt to puuusn an tno corres pondence. But tho letter from Hon C, J. Miles of the city of Hastings ia a fair Bumplo as to tho workings of mu nicipal ownership of water plants. Wo quote from it as follows: "About 22 yoarx ago our city voted $35,000J)O bojW UX wtUt-rvplant niitl a few ySari later votoo $10,000,00, and again $16,000.00 in bonds making n total of $uu.uuu,uu. we mnko no levy for our wator plant and we havo from timo to timo improved, out of its earn ings, so that it stands on our books at $105,000.00, so that our (net) earnings oh this plant is represented by tho dif ference between the bond issue and the present value. As I say, wo make no ovv but appropriate the entire revenue for the operation nnd the improvement of the plant. The city gets tho bene fits of freo hydrants for lire protection and freo water at parks and drinking fountains and we very often give free water to public and charitablo enter tainments. It would be difficult to ndviso you of th.i cost of for nix and eight room cottages for tho reason that tho consumption of water is not uni form; then, again It depends upon the season. During somo quarters, a great deal of water is used. I would risk a gucs3 that the average eight room houso with conveniences would cost from $8.00 to $10.00 per annum nnd n six room approximately $5.00 to .f (5.00 When Hastings nut in thin nlnnt about 22 years ago it was then a city about tho si ze North l'iatte is now. Hastings is surely n irood cxamnlc for us to follow. North 1' atte having given a franchise Co tho wator com pany 22 years ago, its consumers have liad to pay (wo and three as much for water consumed and on top of that have had to lovy n seven mill tax for hydrant rentals, Our sinter town of Grand Island has a municipal plant and in a letter from their water commissioner we find 45 per cent of the water consumers pay not to exceed tour dollars per annum anu ou per cent aro payinir six uo art t rn ... t 1 1 and less per annum and more than $10,000 of extensions to tho plant have been mnuo during mo past four years out oi tno earnings ot thcpinnt. Tho city of Lincoln, Nebraska. Is another example of what municipal ownership has accomplished for the people. The city now has a plant worth one and one half million dollars. The total bond issuo is about $250,000.00. Tho difference between the value of tho plant at present and the bond issue represent tho not earnings of tho plant which havo been put into extensions from timo to time. Besides this when Lincoln neeedod $50,000.00 to pay for n city hall '.ho money was found in the surplus earnings of the water plant Tho franchise that tho old water company aro now fighting for must be a very valuable thing or thoy would not bo spending their money bo freely in tneir euorts to ueieat tnese bonds. And if it is a good thing why not vote these bonds and take it In for the people The paid emissaries of tho wator com pany aro threatening us with litiiration. rhia company has a record for litiga tion, out tno record snows that in every instance where tho people have stood by their guns and voted tho bonds for a municipal plant, the water company has como down from their high horse and have sold out their old plants to tho rity. It waa so at Sioux Fa lis. Norfo'k. Kearney, and at thollttlu citv of Wah io. where they tried to sell the'r pinnt to tno city for $00,000.00, a plant not. worth half of that Bum. but when ,tho pnoplo voted tho bonds for the municipal plant the water company conveyed tho plant to tho city for $17.000.00.. History will repeat itself at Nortl l'latto. Voto the municipal water bonds, and your mayor and council will bo ablo to buy this old plant, or so much I it ai enn bo incorporated to ad vantage in tho new municipal plant, ior wnac ic wouiu no worm to tho city, Of course thoy could refuse to sell, but they won't for tho roason that they Know tno city, in mat event, would go tuieuu wun tno now piant anu when it waB ready for operation, tho old plant wouiu uo put out ot operation and would havo no value. "Vigilanco is tho prico of liberty.' For twenty-two years you havo been paying exorbitant tributo to a boodllng corporation, who realizing thoy are in the last ditch are mnkinc a hard firrht relying on tho power of their money to uuiuai mo win o mo pcopio in mis lection.

Como out nnd show your colors by talking and working for tho success of tho bond issuo nnd on olection day, take a day off. and mako assurance doublv suro by helping to get out tho voto, boo to it mat tne menu ot tno bonds vote early and that no Illegal votes are nor mittcd to be cast.

Respect fully, T. C. Patterson, Mayor Ends the Doubtful Period. lho revival of business all along ireuictcu -as soon ns tno taritt la sot tied" hus sot in, and thu tariff itself tor tho moment seems of minor impor tance, as tho estimates of interior crops nnd trade aro mndo on raliablu data. Somo opinions aro that the country will produce 60,000,000 bushels more of wheat than last year. 275,000, 000 buBhols more of corn and 101,000, 000 bushels moro of oats. Tho total yield of groin ia placed at 4,881,000,000 bushels, or .12,000,000 bushols moro than the immonso crop of 1900. Tho conditions in Europe make it certain that tho wheut crop wit' be sold at remunerative prices, It is not expected that tho fancy figures of tho Fatten speculation will bo reached or at tempted, and that is all tho hotter. Such prices rarely do tho grower any good und must restrict tho foreign market. Good prices through the sol ling period aro bottor and this year wo ahull huvo plenty to sell at high and steany prices. All uround, expert bu"iness men nn ticipato tho best farm yield ever made In this country.

Th ONLY non-narcotic nnd lawful satory say a every ingredient of E-RU-SA is "Suitable for the purpose for which it is sold" (Piles) and the same authority condemns the injurious nnrcotic (dops) pile medicines. Only reliable, up-to-date druggists sell E-RU-SA in tsortn runic: scmiicr a: uo, atone Drug locomotives, there has gradually been an incrcasu of motive power, and a vast improvement in methods of mov ind freight. Tho profit in transporta tion will bo better for both railroads and nhippers Building operations have risen o an unprecedented volume. For tho first six months of this year the record showed an incroase of 50 per cent over last year, and a slight increase over tho remarkable year of 1906. Even with new mills, the textile in dustry, ono of the greatest employing activities, especially in Now England and Pennsylvania, has about reached its capacity. Tho financial centers have cheap money in abundance nnd the railroad can obtain means to re sumo thu high rate of betterment shown in 1M)G. The hot period has apparently not inflicted serious damage on corn. Pos sibly on tho wholo it may havo in creased tho yield by improving tho quality nnd Boundness of tho grain und perfecting tho irop in wet nnd weedy soil. With 700,000,000 bushels of wheat and anything like 3,000,000, 000 of corn the amount now regarded ns assured, the finances of tho country can hardly be in anything but a con dition to promote confidence and activ ity. Tho buying humor of the agricultural districts confirms all sta tistical optimism. As the hot period comes to nn end tho doubtful .Heason of growth gives plnco to the relief of certainty Tho ycbr 1009 ends the panic and will stand a record of years for agricultural products.
