' ti kZETTE. IMMO TODD a 80N. ,ATURDaY APRIL 4. 1908. The Republican Ticket. The ticket placed in nomination at the republican city convention last week is an 'excellent one, deserving of the hearty and united support of the republican electors. Each and every in an eau 'easily he elected if the voters turn out and do their duty at the polls next Tuesday. The varied interests of the town demand the beat available talent in the council, prudent, conservative, economical, ready to extend a helping hand to existing industries as well as to those in prospective. A reduction of one- third in number without a diminution in duties renders the position°, alder- man more arduous and responsible then ever before, and it is a matter of congratulation that such a fortunate selection was made. If Mr. C. E Reed is elected mayor, as he deserves to be, he will heve good support at all times end under all circumstances, Impirunt Queetions. To C. E. Reed. nsminee for mayor; Dear Sir: There is considerable discussion as to what you will do if elected mayor. helieVe the public has a right to know your attitude on several matters before casting its vote, and I, as a cit- izen, would respectfully request your views 013 the following subjects: the police force, Sunday closing, the (ran- : chises, taxation, sewer extension, water works extension, street work. Respect fully, CITIZEN. Bol h of the republiean candidates for alderman at large, N. C. Nranz and W. H. O'Connell, have declined, also G W Hetherington, democratic candidate for alderman in the first ward, and J. C. Hartin, republican candidate for alderman in the fourth. Two of the vacancies have been filled by the nomination of W. C. Lueck as aldarman at large in the first and second wards, and G. A. Emerson as alderman at large in the third and fourth wards. The annual report of the state in- surance commissioner shows that the tire, marine, hail, and cyclone com panies reeeived as premiums and assessments in Minnesota last year $8.374 716 03. and paid $3,802,796 03 in losses Isn't it about time for that Ion/ protnised reduction of rates in the smaller towns? A R Pfau, of Mankato, has been appointed judge in the sixth district to till vacancy canoed by the resigna.) tiori f Judge Lorin Cray, and C. W Stanton in the fifteenth to fill vacancy catted hy the resignation of Judge M A Spooner. Both of the new appointees. of course. are detnocrats. Between $2.000 and 93,000 in money was found upon the person of 1liss Eleanor O'Brien, who died in M inneapolis last Saturday, aged seventy-one years. It was found by the undertiker while embalming the remains for burial. The supreme court sustains a ver- dict id 135.000 tignin8f the Milwau kee Road for the death of a brake- man at Lyle. the largest amount for personal injury ever awarded in this state Gov Johnson announces that if the Denver convention tenders hint the democratic nomination for president he will accept, a great re- lief to an admiring mnstituency. An tthauccessful attempt was made to wreck the C. W Cowles with (I) namite at St. Paul last Sunday evening. The damage to the steam- er is about $300. Senators Nelson and Clapp have agreed upon W. E. Hale, of Minne apolie, to succeed Judge William Locbren, resigned. The aporney general holdethat the state has no right to impose an inheritance tax upon real property situated in another state. g. W. A. A. A. Sttott and J. P. Hedin rep- resented Hastings Camp No. 4747 at the county convention in Rose mount on Wednesday. W. F.

The HastingaGazette doesn't think that plaee is actually in need of a municipal court, which is no doubt very true, as larger cities have been known to exist nicely without such a luxury, for it is a fact that a mtmici= pal court Is something on that order. -Staheafer Game. tteechr eiatrdrta. To the Citizen of Hastings; In answer to the inquiry of Citizen in Friday's isaue of The Daily Gazette, and also in answer to criticisms and rumors heard on the street, I will say the nomination was tendered we with- out any solicitation whatever, and I was very reluctant to accept, because it involves a loss of time from my private affairs that I can ill afford, yet I recognize the fact that it is every man's duty to do his part in these matters, when,called upon by. his fel- low citizen s. It is certainly neceeaary for some one to make the sacrifice of his time and energy, .and I presume the public has as much right to expect it of tne as of any one else, and I will not shirk any duty thus imposed upon me, so I have, accepted the honor and respon- sibility, with a feeling -of deepest grati- tude for the confidence it, implies, with a determination to deserve that confi- dence by doing my dots.. In answer to Citizen's questions as to bow I stand on matters of public interest, I offer a few planks as a part of my platfortivand although a man entering upon new duties cannot deter- mine exautly what course -will prove best in all instances and under all circumstances, I believe I can out- line the principles on which I pur- pose to act: 1. The police. I do not believe a candidate for mayor should place himself under any obligation to any aspirant in order to obtain his sup port, because the .msyor should be in a position to discharge an officer in case of neglect of duty, without feel- ing that he has repudiated an obliga tion, and this principle applies to any other officer iu whose appointment he may have a voice. I believe the mayor should hold bus officers up to a high standard of vigilance and sobriety. This demands that he not only have the authority to discharge them, but that he should feel under no obligation to them for his election. 2. Sunday closing. I believe that the laws of the state and the ordinan. ces of the city should be administered wit bout partiality or equivocation, and enforced in the spirit intended by the legislature and the council, that is with judgment and discrimination, and, if elected, I shall endeavor to enforce the laws in this spirit, as far as I am upheld by my fellow citizens. 1 -shall treat saloonkeepers the same as I do other business men as long as they act in good faith. 3. Franchises. I shall not favor the granting of exclusive franchisee or privileges to any person or cor- poration, under any cireumstances, nor the making of any contract, ob- tigating the city to pay for any cer tain number of lig tts or other set, vices for a long term of years, but I shall favor granting the privilege of using the streets, alleys, and public grounds to any responsible person or corporation, for the purpose of fur nishing to the city or our citizens any services that are generally demanded. when such privileges are properly re- stricted, and no pole or other ap pliance .should be placed on any public grounds without the consent of the council or its authorized agent, and no one should be allowed to earn more than a reasonable interest on the money invested, without dividing the ex,tess equally with the city. 4. Taxation. If elected. I shall en. deavor to curtail expenses to the end that taxes may be reduced, whenever it is consistent with progress and true economy, and I believe there are many places where more economy can be practiced 5. Sewer extension. I shall not favor any extension of the sewer eye tem except at the expense of the property benefited, and then only when a majority of the property owners petition the council for such extension. And that a uniform front- age tax be levied against property abutting on streets where water mains are laid, to help pay the cost of the mains, and to provide money for ex- tensions without additional bonds This tax should be spread over a number of years so the burden may not be too heavy. This plan wouid result in placing a good part of the cost of the mains on the propertt benefited, wbere it evidently belongs, and in the ultimate retirement of the bonds. 6. Water works. I shall favor the extension of the water mains when- ever petitioned to do so by a majority of the property owners, along any street where it can he demonstrated that the water rentals will amount to a sum equal to the interest on the bonds_neoessary to pay for the bay. bog of the mains. 7. Street work. 1 believe that our street work should be of a more per- manent character, and that it is better to do a little well than to cover a Form quickly and perfectly, delicious hot biscuit 'It breads, cake and there is no substitu RPRI CREAM BAKING POWDER The active principle of which is °I1 from grapes, pure cream of La- the most wholesome of all fruit a No alum -No Ihno phosphates Those caring for health must avoid alum powders.

Do you not think it wise for our people to accept a reduction in price of so oonvenient a commodity as ic electricity? ter The new franchise will guarantee oon- nd tinuous service, which the maven,' are tit not now ie anyway bound to give. The day current of electricity is an important n. factor in the upbuilding of any city, as it ill furnishes cheap and convenient power for id manufacturing plants, as well as for in. The Franchise Proposition. An Open Letter te the Citizens of gamines. Inasmuch as the franchise question is being agitated to some extent, and bias - much as there seems to be a disposition on the part of some of our well meaning citizens to make it an issue of the spring election oarupaijn, I deem it only fair that our people beoome informed upon the question, aud will endeavor to ex- plain it impartially and •eorrectly. In the first plaoe, the franchise asked for by the Electric Light Company iS not an exclusive one? It in no way probede any other company from ooming into the city and enjoying the same rights and privilege& The oompany asked for a fif- teen year franchise, but finally consented to accept one for thirteen years instead. It has been decided by competent attor- neys that it is entirely within the power of the city council, under our present charter, to geant a franchise for any period not to exceed twenty years. The proposed tranbhise does not in any way bind the city to use or pay for any oertain number of street lights. It does not in any way gnarantee to the company any stated amount of patronage of any kind. It fully protects the city and its inhab- itants from any snits or actions to reoov- er for damages which might arise from the operatiug. maintaiuing, or enlarging of the compagy's plant. It binds the company to furnish an all day current for at least one year and during the en- tire life of the franchise, provided the consumption of electrioity does not de: crease below an umsasonable amount. This is oertainly all that our people could expect in this line, aud much more than they have heretofore enjoyed. It pro- vides for an annual inspection of the books and accounts of the oompany, and makes it possible for the city council to reduce the rates when the earnings of the company are too high. It prohibits the issuing of additional shares of stock, bonds, or any other evidence of indebted - nese over and above the preeent capital- ization, except for actual improvements or extensions of the plant. and then only with the oonsent of the council. It pre- vents the oompany from consolidating with or selling out to any other company, except by permission of the city couecil It prevents the company from paying ex- orbitant salaries to its officers or employ- es for the expresa purpose of keeping down the earnings of the plant. It fixes themaximum rates which may be charged for electricity, and in, every possible way Is a great improvement over the franchise under which theoompany arenow operat- ing. I will leave it to you, my reader whether or not the above provisions do not fully protect the interests of the city and its inhabitante, and whether or not they are not all, even more than could be expected of the company at this time. Now let us see if there are any benefits to be derived by issuing a new franchise at this time. First, the aro lights will be run until one o'clock inatead of leaving our streets in darkness at the hour of midnight, aud one-eighth of the entire number used will be run all night, and this without additional coat over what we are now paying. The rate for incan- descent lighting will be reduced from the present price of fifteen cents per kilowatt to twelve cents per kilowatt. This plums the small consumer upon an equal foot- ing with the large one, whereas, hereto- fore, the larger consumer has been given the advantage through the extra dis- counts, and the smaller consumer has been compelled to pay the exorbitant pries. It is doubtful whether any cont. pany oould furnish the same lights at a dividual use. Now the proposition seems to be some- thing like this: The plant is here and has some time still to run under the old franchise and at the old rates. When the franchise has expired they can quit or go on, just as they' like, and this with- out any rules or regulations to govern their actions except the general laws. They may oontiuue to nharge the preeent exorbitant rates, or they may decline to operate the plant at all and leave the city in darknees. Those, fellow citizens, are the facts as they oonfront us. The company are now paying taxes upon their property the same as any other firm doing business in oar city, - and the franchise is amassed at five thousand dollars, which aseeesment will be 10E4 if a new franchise is not granted, as it is obvious that the franchise can not be ameseed if there is none in existence. Why should the aaseesable property of our city be reduoed to tbe extent of five thoctsand dollars? It has been suggested that any company operating under a franchise be required to pay a gross earnings tax to the city, and we will dis- cuss that point briefly. Fired, is it any more right to exact such a tax from any company who are doing business under a franchise, thereby being limited in the marketing of their product, than it would be to ask any firm or individual doing business under competition to pay such a tax? We propou to limit the prioe for which they may eell their product, be- sidee making other restrictions, and then to add iusult to injury by requiring a grosa earnings tax beside the regular taxes seems to me like putting an ex- tremely high valuation upon Hastings privileges, which by the way have not in the past deoade been considered very valuable. If our flour milling industry were burdened with such a tax, how long do you anticipate it would be in operation? If the merchants were re- quired to pay a gross earnings tax on their volumeof business it would have the simple effect of stifling competition and hence raising the prioe of oommoditiea. The writer knows of a certain city where this very condition exists, and its effect is ilisastrons to the welfare of the city and a serious burden to her people. The exacting of a gross earnings tax from any company to whom a franchise was grant- ed would be in effect the giving of an ex- clusive franchise, tor we oould never hope to secure any outside companies to enter our city under snob drastio conditions. On the contrary we sliould and do en- courage all such enterpriseeland are glad when they oome into our oity. Whitt effect has such improvements as eleobio, light plante, telephone, gas, street oar , companies, or anything else of that nature which would naturally come under tbe franchise form of government upon tbe value of onr property, and upon the general prosperity of our city? Do they make our property worth more or less? Do they made life more a burden or less? I wish the city ootuicil might be asked for and would grant a hundred franchisee to as many oompanies in the next ninety days, it they would all come into our city, put in modern improve- ments, employ our people, and pay taxes hke the rest of II& There is some possi- bility of a oompany being formed to put in a gas plant, but under no considera- tion could such a project be launched without at least a thirty year franchise. The writer would weloosne such an addi- tion to our city, and I teal confident that the majgrity, if not allour citizens, would do the same. Om ie always oheaper than electricity, and especially for cooking purposes, and ie always used to a large extent for *doom poppies wherever obtaiasbie. • wish it distinctly understood that T have no personal interest in any fran- chise proposition. I own no electric light stook, nor any other kind of stock which is governable by franchise, nor do I care to own any. 1 believe iu a fran- chise as the only way to regulate the operations of a company and protect the people, and, while they are valuable, yet I believe any city should be glad to give them away under proper restrictions for the protection of her people. A gross earnings tea mane simply this: The coustuner must pay the extra amount of ooat of operating occasioned by the tax for the commodity, whatever it may be and, while the tax would benefit all, the burden of coat would be borne by the few who use and pay for the commodity. Thia of itself is manifestly unjust. The real and only object of a franchise is to govern the price of the oommodity, for the simple reason that usually in small cities companies operating under a fran- chise have no oompetition. Now, my friends, I hope you wilt think about these things a little and try to beoome familiar with the facts before forming an opinion. The franchise question is not and should not be a part of the election cam- paign. The writer is oertaiu that there is not a candidate on either side who is in any manner pledged to or interested in any franchise proposition whatever. We must have some oontrol of the corn - pules doing business in our city, and our only method is by franchise. A franchise ia not a thing to be afraid of. It is preeminently for the protection of the people. I will leave it to my reader whetber it is not the wiser thing to see that men are elected to office who can and will treat this, as well as all other business propositions, wisely and fairly. Our people should rise above such petty jealonsies and look tor the men for office who are fair and unbiased. Men who have business ability to conduct the business of the city in a creditable man- ner. Meu whose integrity aud character are unquestionable, and who are not seeking offioe for the vain glory there is attached to i or bemuse they have an ax to grind," regardless of who they are or what their nationality or creed may be. I wish to say in defense of my- self that I have not beeu asked to write this explanation. Not a soul knows that I am writing it, and I speak for no one but myself, and can substantiate every statement made. I do not ask an election to office at the hands of the 'people for any specific purpose whatsoever, and es- pecially woald I decline suoh an election if it were for the empty honors it conveys. I am too busy a man to wart the squan- dering of my time on public affairs, and it is only a feeling of loyalty to the city of my choioe and a deep interest in her welfare that prompts me to even allow my name to go on the city ballot. I liave no "ax to grind," and am in no way pledged to any firm, corporation, or individual. I stand firmly upon a platform of a "square deal" to all, and shrill always look to the welfare and the prosperity of the city of Hastings, aud the protection and fair treatment of her citizens.
