II railed attention to the fact that the Omaha city commission now haa power to regulate th crates of the electric light Company.-. If a bill were brought In to cut th rates square In the middle Trum- blo said h would support It, but he did not favor auch bill a this one, which give the company no protection what ever. He asserted that the electric light plant at Omaha paid lea than 10 per cent on Its aesesaed valuation last year. "t hv served two term In the legisla ture and I never took the floor In behalf of the corporation," said Mr. Trumble. f'l never met any representative' of the Omaha Ulectrlo Light company until It attorney appeared before my committee.

Opposes Coaf IscaUloa. i "I. am her to protect man' property against confiscation, t ara not la favor of a law giving lh Omaha Water board control over. thle. matter, because nobody regulate th .Water board, fwould favor a bill to condemn and take over the light ing il ant "but tbls Is not a municipal ownership proposition. It I simply munic ipal confiscation by the Water board." Mr. Druesedow, supporting th bill, said th Water board members were subject to recall and In view of the faot that Howell was beaten by 4,008 ovtes In Douglas county- last tall lit his rac for governor,' Druesedow did not think there wa much foroa In th talk about build ing up a political - machln to control Douglas countv eleotions.

Haater Opposes. Mr. Hunter took the floor against th bill and showed that the city of Omaha now haa full power to fix rates for eleo- trio light, to puritfiase the plant or ' to build a competing one, as It may see fit If th crtjr commission refuses to act said Hunter, the people themselves can Initiate an ordinance for any of these things. He did not believe In extending the power of the Water board, claiming that this simply contributed to building up a political machine. "Isn't the power la the hands of tbe people of the water district?" asked IJlmer. , 'City Caanatlaaloa gheald Rale. "No, It hasn't been by any mean," re I lied Hunter. "All th people do I to elect th board members for six year. The Water board is continually on bad terms with the Omaha city official.
