THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ETTLE THE ISSUE NOW Of all municipal issues that call for prompt settlement, | he water problem is paramount and the earnest cooperation | the city should be given the members of the city com. | \ission in solving the matter which means so much to the, tture development of this enterprising city in which the tizens have a just pride. The election May 14, will bring a great public expression on the issuance of bonds. It should place in the hands the city commission the authority with which to develop policy that will bring concrete results to Bismarek as far its water supply is concerned, Bids ave“to be called for to ascertain the cost of a new _ vant and also what the expense will be to put the present = olant in shape should the city commission and the Bismarck | Vater Supply company come to an agreement as to the erms of sale. | The commission especially is to be commended in_in- structing the city engineeer to alter the plans and specifica- | tions so as to provide the city power to pump the water into the reservoirs. It would seem advisable for the city to con- trol this too so as to insure water pumped at the lowest pos- sible cost. Under present arrangements the water consum- | ers are taxed $8,000 a year solely for expenses in delivering water to the reservoirs where a gravity system does the rest. Under a recent decision of the railroad commission, the old rate of 24 cents a kilowatt for pumping the water was: cancelled and the rate was advanced from the flat rate of 2ty cents a kilowatt to cents for the first 1,000; five for: the second; four cents for the next 5,000; the next 5,000, | ihree-and-one half cents and for all over 12,000 2 rate of three cents was fixed. The city of St. Paul has an arrangement with its public utility to pump city water for six-tenths of a cent a kilowatt. | = Until the railroad commission ine sed the power rate for! pumping water in Bismarck, the cost was about $4,000 a{ year, | That the city commis ration of this phase is reassuring that no step will be taken! without first considering the costs and the general welfare | of the water consumers and the tax payers generall) | It is necessary at all times for the city to have available its own power for pumping the water so that it will be im-' jossible to burden the people with excessive water rates | “hecause of the high cost of delivering the water to the: reservoirs. i Another item which will contribute to reduced rates to} the consumers if the city plan works out is that when new | mains are laid and adequate fire protection afforded, the cit itself by general taxation will pay its fair proportion of the; overhead cost because of the fire protection afforded. This | will ease the burden to the individual water consumer. | If the city decides to build a plant, let it be a muni ipal | plant in every sense of the word so that the entire rate | making power will be directly in the hands of the city itself! | and not dependent upon contracts with other utilities or | Bismarck may find itself no better off than now. \ There is an overwhelming sentiment in Bismarck for a; city owned and controlled Water plant. The present commis- | ‘ sioners won hands down on that platform and they have | started to redeem one plank in their campaign pledge. i Every citizen who has the welfare of Bismarck at hands | should support: them to-the limit in their efforts to promote | the general welfare of Bismarck. RESPONSE EXCELLEN' Committees at work on the drive for juvenile and adult | bands repo¥ted fine response to the ticket sale. There are = a number of tickets still to be sold and those who were missed * in the canvass amg uged to get their tickets at the Auditorium | 3 box office tomorrow evening. It is hoped to secure sufficient funds from this benefit to finance the,band until fall when : probably another benefit will be given at which either the adult or juvenile band will appear. It is hoped to put the band upon such a firm business ooting that it will be able largely to finapce itself through ; oncerts and other functions. Bismarck of all cities in the tate needs a good band to aid at public functions. Con- = ucted propely a good band can earn much revenue upon its _own initiative. \ Through the supervision of the public school authorities | : n cooperation with the Association of Commerce, the suc- cese of the ventnre should be assured. The men and women who gave so generously of their ‘ “time and eftort in the ticket sale drive are to be congratu- slated. Interest will not lag but rather increase in the band “as time goes forward and a real musical organization is built upsin Bismarck. Don’t forget the date. ‘Thursday evening at the auditorium. 2 Be on hand and boost for the Bismarck band fund. = It will be your band and your interest will deepen to the extent you have made such a civic institution possible. Don’t be a slacker! FOR HARMONY AND PROGRESS ‘ % . For the last two years North Dakota has been gradually , £ ovowing from the extreme bitterness and even hatred which | Bepy cloned the state during a part of the period of ascendancy | of the Nonpartisan League in the state. The fall from auto- ne power of A. C. Townley followed closely upon his cam-| paign for boycotts which the league farmers in general re i ected. There followed an effort upon the part of some} league leaders to convert residents of cities to their view-| y groin. Many of the imported socialists left the state and| numerous league workers began to disclaim any connection | with socialism. The gradual movement toward a better basis of understanding in the state has expanded rapidly within the last year. The disintegration of the league, which one of its leadets asserted had been in progress since. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE 1919, accelerated the movement. But even with the league ' a powerful minority as evidenced in the last election, the conflict had taken on a lighter hue. Perhaps the sale of the Fargo Courier-News comes as a natural sequel to other events. Financially it was a load- stone upon the necks of Nonpartisans, and they could not continue to bear it. A mere agent of propaganda cannot function in a large measure in any community in the masquerade of a newspapcr. The sale of the Courier-News is of more than unusual import in North Dakota. First of all, it should do much to prevent a recurrence of a political warfare so violent that neighbors on different sides of the political fence found themselves unable to continue to be friends. Secondly, it is \eertain to be a blow to the Nonpartisan League as that or- ganization has functioned in the past. Without a flaming imouthpiece, the league cannot hope to rally the support that {it has in the past for the kind of a fight it s waged, HA!
