OPEN LETTER TO MR. NASH

on EU Falsehood.
WHY MUNICIPAL LIGHTING PLANT IS NEEDED
EswaK Rawata of Tfc Be Replies

Ths following open letter liaa been A
dresaed by Edward Roaewater, editor of
Tha Bee, to F. A. Nash, president of the
Omaha EUectrlo Light and Power company:
OMAHA. Oct. 21. WOi. Mr. Fred A. Nash,
President Omaha Electric Light and Power
Company:
la an addreaa delivered by you before the
Prospect Hill club In Opposition to the es
tablishment of a municipal electric lighting
plant you are quoted as charging that "&
Hoeewater had gone to the stockholders of
tha Omaha Water Works company In the
east with a plan to start an agitation fo
a bond Issue to purchaso the electric light
company's plant and so attract attention
toward the lighting company and away
from tha water works company." but waa
Refused, for the rwuioa tbat tha eastern
ownera of the Omaha water works are very
anxious to sell their plant. Too. are also
quoted as saying that thereupon i .turned
my attention to the Omaha officers of the
water company and convinced them that
they must defeat the water works purchase
In order to bold their Jobs; hence the pro
posed bond Issue for an electrto tight plant.
A row Uee Railed.
I concede that as manager of the electric
lighting monopoly you have the right, and
possibly It may be your duty, to oppose the
proposed establishment of a municipal light
ing plant In Omaha, but you have no right
to resort to deliberate falsehoods for the
purpose of boltrlng your monopoly of
public lighting. I have notr been In New
York slnos April of ths present year. I
have never bad any communication, verb
ally or otherwise, with the owners of the
Omaha water company or any single stock
bolder In relation to electric lighting or the
proposed municipal eiectrio light plant

WUIUl UMJ tava j w w
water company to push ths eiectrio light
bond proposition as a means for delaying
or defeating the purchase of ths water
works, because such a suggestion would be
Idiotic. The purchase of ths water works
has been decided upon by the city. Ths ap
praisement will be completed within a few
days and ths only thing that can stall ths
final acquisition Is a contest In ths courts
over ths plies to be paid.
Tou know as wsll as I know that mu
nicipal ownership of public utilities was
ths Issus In ths Ust dly election and that
ths mayoralty candidates of all parties
Benson, iioores, Howell and all ths candi
dates for ths oouccal were publicly com
mitted In favor of prompt action to ae
qulrs both an electric light plant and ths
water works. Tou know that the proposi
tion to acquire a municipal lighting plant
would hare been subm.tttd a year ago had
you not -used your pernicious influence on
the council to delay It. Tou also know
that ths proposition now before our cltl
sens does not contemplate the buying out
of your plant or any Interference wi n It
and that Its only purpose Is to furnish
Omaha with electric lights of ths best
quality In every section of ths city, leav
ing your company to supply eKctilt; lights
and power to privets consumers. '
Csss.1 Befvsr the -
This Is not, however, the first Urns that
you havs resorted to downright misrepre
sentation designed to deceive the people
of Omaha Tour attempt to befog the real
Issue Is a repetition of ths well, known i
methods by which you havs managed to j
acquire valuable franchise privileges for :
(your corporation. For example, when yon
wanted to secure the franchise for electric I
lighting wire conduits, you gave assurance,
not only to ths mayor and council, but to
myself and others Interested In the up
building; of Omaha, that eastern capitalists
identified 'with your eiectrio light snd power
company would build . the Platte river
power canal. If they were granted ths
rlgnt to lay conduits In Omaha. Tou must
havs known then that this wss s delusion
snd a snare. Just ss you knew later on,
when you wsnted to secure sn extsnsioe
of your contract for eiectrio lighting, that
the published story emanating from your
self, that Armour A 'Co. were behind your
proposed electrto power canal scheme was
untrue.
The only part of yor speech befors the
club- which bore ths semblance of truth
waa the. declaration that the owners of
the water works are anxlqua to sell their
Bennett's Great
plan, doing the business a month, that Bennett s Grocery is doing.
Another fact our competitors in the grocery business in Omaha, take their "cue'' from Ben
nett's. We regulate the popularity of an article, we give it a price and there you are! The other
fellows follow suit. Our stocks are fresher, larger, have a greater variety, our bargains are 'WAY

plant That fact has been repeatedly
pointed out, by myself through Ths Bee,
In combating ths pretentions of ths bogus
champion of municipal ownership, R. B.
Howell, who engineered the compulsory
water works purchase . bill through ths
legislature under pretense tbat the water
company was opposed to ths purchase when
ho knew that his bill was concocted under
under Inspiration of ths water company
for ths purpose of forcing the purchaso at
a time when material and labor are high.
But you and your satellites are only trying
to throw dust into ths eyes of ths people
when you seek to make them believe that
the eleotrio light bond proposition was
brought forward now to retard and prevent
the purchase of ths water works, and your
efforts to make ms appear as an unprinci
pled and selfish conspirator against the In
terests and welfare of Omaha Is as in
famous as it Is baseless. I havs been a
sincere advocate ' of municipal ownership
of publlo utilities for mors than a quarter
of a century, and unlike some people who
ars now joined with you In trying to thwart
the acquisition of a municipal lighting
plant, I have not been a weathervane, nor
have I been, playing to ths galleries. I have
advocated municipal ownership from con
viction. I havs been for municipal owner
ship, not only becauss It will cheapen ths
cost of public utilities, but becauss It will
eradicate tha corrupting and demoralising
Influence which the public utility corpora
tions ars constantly exerting upon our mu
nicipal government. No corporation has
tampered more persistently with our city
officials and councils than ths eiectrio light
ing monopoly. It Is a matter of notoriety
that It keeps on Its pay roll a gang of pro
fessional boodle distributers, who make It
their business to hound our councllmen
from morning till night, ply them with
whisky and wine and entlcs them to all
sorts of resorts and supply them with cour
tesies and free excursions from Lake sfaov
awa to Okoboji. We may not bo abls to
put an end to these corrupting and de
bauching agencies by establishing our own
lighting plunt, but we will make a begin
ning and ths easiest beginning will be with
that branch of our public utilities that In
volves ths smallest outlay.

NEW SUGAR RATE CONSIDERED

Reciprocal Sehedale Is Bslas;
Proposed.
A new tariff Is under consideration by
ths western roods. Ths rata Is for ths ac
commodation of ths beet sugar manufac
turers of Idaho and Utah. Ths proposed
tariff Is I cents below ths present one, but
requires a minimum shipment of 60,000
pounds. It Is believed ths rata la a recip
rocal action on the part of the western
sugar manufacturers to get even with ths
eastern shippers, who ars benefiting by the
present sugar, tariff.
It first was supposed Havemeyer, the
sugar king, wss back of the movement for
the lower rsu, ss he has been iq Utah and
Idaho for several days looking over ths
sugar beet plants. Ths petition for the
lower rate, however. Is made by ths Inde
pendent manufacturers for the purpose of
putting them on a level with their eastern
rivals. Ths rats asked for Is U cento to
St. Paul. 61 cents to Peoria and 60 cents
to Chicago from Utah snd Idaho common
