Chicago—s17-318 L One cont per copy, ix cents per we ey mall or carr No free eopten, ELECTRIC FROtyeure FAIRLY STATE The question of whether the city shall, or shall not, proceed t 0 eutad: Ush a municipal electric plant at Cedar Falla, will be submitted to the Voters of Seattle on March 4 next, The proposition must be squarely faced. It cannot be shoved to one side, or dropped with a few careless observations. AD ON is to be reached. aspects of the ma diced standpoints, but from the sole Good sense therefore dictates that all ter should be thoroughly considered, not from preju standpoint of the public weal. If the city establishes a municipal electric plant for private as well as public service tt will become the ttle Electrio one competitor of the § Company. There will be no other competitors worthy of serious consid eration. The situation Is a simple one, The Seattle Electric Company controls absolutely, through an alliance with the Snoqualmie Company, the pro duction and sale of electric compa aby pany fixes the pric a by th It ts stat friends of the operating with an fleges of control, We are informed that 8 ight and power In this clty ye to public approva he other * holding franchises for electric lighting and power have been or have withdrawn from the field, The Seatt Ele and power without let or hindrance Electric Company that tt ts and will not abuse tts priv tone & Webster, representing the Eastern financiers who are behind the company, follow the rule of giving the best possible service in th believing that it pays ! > business, all cities where they ong run to secure public approval rather than public distike, Citing an example, they potnt to the fact that Mr Stone has ju the local street car service so as to put an end that he will spend a large su tock rolling Cri tes of olles, declare that Mr. opponents, to the end that the munic dered built.

The majority of sensible people competition ts a good thing. They trade and Industry. They oppose object the control of prices.

The Seattle Electric Company is the most powerful corporation tn the city and one of the most powerful in the Pacific Northwest. It has done many things of material benefit to Seattle. It has brought here and expended yast sums of money, which have supported families and made trade better at the stores. The company has brought together, unt- fied and more ways than one. ettered the street railways, It haa proved itself a benefit in On the other hand it has obtained a monopoly of electric light and power distribution and is now charging tts own price for electric light and power. MANY PEOPLE CONTEND THAT LOWER PRICES COULD BE CHARGED AND STILL LEAVE REASONABLE PROFIT. pbody wants the Seattle Electric Company to do business at a loss. Nobody who has the interests of the city at heart, would want to have @ municipal plant built at Cedar Falls for the purpose of selling power and light at ruinously low prices. The people are fair. They are willing to let live all merchants, all handlers of pubiic utilities, but THEY ARE INSISTENT that no excessive orofits shall be made. It {s idle to claim that the city might run the Seattle Electric Com- Pany out of town by building a municipal piant at Cedar Palls. The company has an alliance offensive and defensive, with the Snoqualmie Company and now derives a large power. It would therefore be on a basis to ¢ Part of its electricity from water mpete with the electricity derived by the city from water power at Cedar Falls. The Seattle Electric Company ts in Seattle to stay. It will always be treated with consideration by the people of the city as long as tt de- serves consideratic cause {t has done good in the favored with the privilege of fixing prices for light and p efty. The Star proposes to be fair in fair in handling all matters pertaining to the public welfare. It ca the arguments of both sides, ipal plant, so that the voters may judge for Of the proposition. There is a great deal sa the subject of municipal ownership of public utilities and many per m. But there seems no good reason to say that be past that it should be exceptionally wer in this the treatment of this matter, as it ts for and against the proposed mun: mseives as to the merits pro and con nowadays ¢ €an be found who conscientiously oppose such ownership for various rea sons.
