ARGUMENTS SENT
TO CLUB MEMBERS
Opposing Statements Concerning: the
Electric Light Bill Go with
Postcard Ballots.
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL VOTE
That the Saunders electric light
bill contemplates not municipal own
erslifp, but Water board , ownership
of an electric light plant In Omaha,
Is asserted In the argument of the
opposition that went out "with bal
lots to all Commercial club members
providing an opportunity for an ex
pression of opinion as to what shall
be the club's attitude toward the
bill.
That Omaha's present electric rates are
excessive and are a municipal handicap.
Is asserted by friends of the bill In one of
the opening sentences of the 300-word ar
gument that goee wltn the ballot The
ballots were mailed yesterday. They are
In the form of a post card. Tbey are to
be returned to the club Friday and will
be canvassed Friday night or Saturday.
. Ararwmeala Kor aad Aaatast.
' Arguments for and against the bill as
they went out with all the.-llots are as
tn'lows:
Statement supporting Saunders electric
light hill:
Thnsw cities will lead whose economlo
and Industrial advantages excel.
Klectrtclty la a mouern economic re
quirementcheap electricity an Industrial
neceslty.
Therefore Omaha's excessive electrlo
rates ore a munh losl handicap.
A recent month's bill at 2ft1 Bberman
avenue and the coat of Identical service
elsewhere la as follows:
Omaha , MM
Hastings 4.10
Kansas City, Kan ; 1.7
Lincoln 8 )
Calgary 3 IS
Knr.rion, Ont !M
Cleveland l.M
Onriha a U-cent electricity eosta for
fuel but 1-S rent mure than Cleveland's
S-cent electricity.
Therefore, Omaha's excessive ratef are
not due to coal, but rather to monoooly.
Reduction of rates through legal regula
tion Is an Iridescent dream. Juch at
tempts In Omaha have not meant final
regulation, but futile litigation.
Therefore, nubile ownership, alone,
promises relief.
It -ia advlaalil to atteinnt to acaulre
the present eleotrlo plant, bolstered by
a perpetual rranchlse and tiuttressed Wltn
dlrldend-psylng wster securities?
If not, the alternative is a competing
plant of sufficient capacity to act as a
regulator of rates, but, designed to afford.
Ultimately, relief to all, if necessary.
The Haiindera bill empowers the Metro
politan Water district to develop such a
plant under the most favorable circum
stances, provided only, that the people
vote bonds there'or.
Objections ta Meaeare.
The opponents of the bill base their
opposition upon the following grounds:
The bill contemplates not municipal, but
water-board ownership.
A water board Plain la unnecessary to
regulate rates, the city now has that
power.
To construct a water district electrlo
light plant would duplicate the existing
plant; to Invest In two plants when one
will suffice. Is unbuslness like.
If the city wishes to enter the electrln
light business. It should exercise Its pres
ent cnaner powers ana acquire the ex
lating, plant
Alter tne city gmn ted a-franchise to
the electric light company, and the com
pany has spent millions In constructing
a plant to perform Its franchise obtlca
tlnns. It Is unfair for the oKy to dsstroy
the value of the plant by subjecting It to
an uncommercial competition through the
Omaha Investments shoiffd be dealmhla.
If the people destroy the Investment made
unuer me eierino ugnt franchise then we
show that Investments here are not pro
tected, and the effect will ho n mri.
ouslr retard our development
Municipal ownership and municipal
competition are quite distinct Municipal
operation of a publio atlllty necessarily
should bo a monopoly. W'hea a city haa
power to regulate Ue- rates and services
01 a pumio uiuity, snunwiptai competition
with such utility Is uniust and incon
sistent.

Railroads' Income
Declares Stenger
"The last month, when 1a& weather
and almost Impassable , roads have been
the rule, has given us an Idea ot what
the- automobile haa done to. railroad
travel," asserted Ernest Stenger, general
manager ot the 8t. Joseph Grand Isl
and road, who Is In town. Contluulng,
Mr. Btenger aald:
"Through Kansas and southern Ne
braska the country roads have been In
such bad condition during 4h last month
that people have been unable to drive
tiutomobllee over them. During that time
the local travel oa our lines has increased
wonderfully. We could note the Increase
the very day the roads became Impassa
ble and have also noted that it haa held
up. changing but little from day to dsy.
This Increase, must be attributed almost
wholly to the fart that the automobiles
have not been running."

RAILROADMEN ARE
STRICTLYHEUTRAL
Favor No City in Advertising- Stop
oyer Privileges on Exposi
tion Tonrs.
IS UP TO COMMERCIAL CLUB
While the railroad paiMenger men
have commenced a campaign to en
courage travel to the Pacific coast,
they assert that they are not doing
anything to Induce people to stop off
at any particular point enroute,
either going; or coming.
"Omaha," said Oeneral Passenger
Agent Wakeley of the Burlington, "has
been designated ss ono of the points
where paasengers trsvrltng In cither di
rection will be permitted to stop off and
remain Shi long as. they like, providing
they ontmtie the trip during the life of
the ticket.
"Attention to the privilege of the stop
over In Omaha Is noted In the folders and
time cards, but In this respect this city
is not given a preference over others. We
could not do this, for if we did, even
town between Chicago and the Pacific
coast would be clamoring for the same
attention."
Railroad passenger men assert that It
It Is desirous that Omaha be put on the
map as one of the points where special
notice Is to be called to stop over priv
ileges, the Commercial club, or Its pub
licity department should take the matter
in hand and do Its advertising through
the east. They take the position that It
would be unfair to other cities along
their lines If one city should be singled
out and advertised aa a point most at
tractive to visitors going to. or coming
from the exposition. Bald Mr. Wakeley:
"It Is very likely that the railroad pas
senger offices would gladly co-operate
with the Commercial club and the pub
licity department In the distribution of
certain advertising matter, but no road
could Jump In and boom any one city
along Its line to the exclusion of the
others."
