Bntered at the poate GIVE IT A FIGHTING CHANCE aract Co, has applied to the City Council for an ‘The Seattle amendment to its franchise which will permit it to ent petition with the Seattle Klectrio Co. in furnishing electric light and power to the peopl of this city Tt asks that the proviso be removed which mak it Impossible for the company to ever raise a price one eration of this concession it agrees franchise which will make its maximum rat thar the rates now prevailing in Seattle, ‘The proposition made by the Cataract Co. I# certainly entitled to care ful consideration. No one can deny that it has been prevented from en tering into competition with the Seattle Electric Co, Nor ean any one deny that the latter, taking advantage ef its monopoly, has been charg- ing high prices for ite power and light. The Cataract Co. could not reasonably be expe sums of money in enlarging fs plant and its distribution system, when the probabilities were that the Seattle F it in ‘a rate war, put down prices for a while to or below the actual Cost of reduction, and compel the Cataract Co. to follow suit, ‘The latter would thus be permanently crippled by unprofitable rat nothing more or less than going out of business and leaving its costly plant behind for its opponent to gobble up at any price. Then the Se~ attle Electric Co. could put prices up to old figures. ‘The arrangement was unfair, because it did not and could not tn- elude the Seattle Electric Co, which, with a more liberal franchise, might raise and lower rates at its pleasur It would be unfair to allege that the City Council had such a sinister outcome in view when it granted the Cataract Co. its franchise, —T point was made that the electric companies would probably consolidate after awhile, and then, if the Cataract Co. happened to be In the saddie, 4t could take advantage of its monopoly and raise rates to any point it saw fit, unless restrained by its franchise. ra ‘Whether this contention was well founded or not, it no longer figures as an important factor In the case. ‘There can be no monopoly in the electric business after the city gets Hs municipal plant into operation. Genuine competition and reasonable must prevail among the private companies, or the city’s plant will ‘take all of the custom. In the meantime, while the city is building its plant, the Cataract Co. ‘agrees that it will cut present rates twenty-five per cent. if its fran- chise is amended a® requested. If it enters actively into competition for business, THE SEATTLE GLECTRIC CO. WILL BE FORCED TO MEET ITS RATES. ‘Could anything be more desirable? ‘The entrance of the Cataract Co. into the field will tn no way ad- versely affect the municipal plant. The city will in the ena have the best and cheapest electric light plant, and will be able to sell all of its elec- trictty regardless of the others, if it s> desires. ‘The Cataract Co. derives its power from the Snoqualmie Falls power plant, which, owing to the great cost of Its construction, mrust pay more interest on bonds than the city’s plant will have to earn to make ends cept a new amendment to Its twenty-five per cent. lower 4 to expend large strie Co. would engag ‘The Cedar Falls electric plant will always be a good thing, either as of direct supply for the people, or as a check upon overcharges private companies. Tt appears that the interests of the people will be best subserved at time by allowing the Cataract Co. to get Into the loca! business, thus ‘the Seattle Electric Co. a chance to lower its rates twenty-five per i it ‘Then, when the city gets its municipal plant into operation, another rash in rates will be in order. persons may ask: “If the private companies wil} cut tn order rates which the city’s plant will make, what chance will the municipal plant to thrive?” ‘The city can always light its own streets, and that @eal. It can also sell light and power just as freely as it which will keep the osmpetitive compantes from charg- reasonable living figures. if Li He ‘l ‘The municipal plant can be used asa club to batter down high rates and asp them down permanently. ‘ —_—— fs hard to tell sometimes whether or not Sir Thomas Lipton is advertising teas. A few Gays ago a cablegram from London was published in many ‘American newspapers announcing that Sir Thomas was having a mighty row with the directors of the Lipton Company, Limited, because he did nat give more of his time to teas and lesy to yacht racing. One director shook his fist and another choked up with emotion over declining divi- dends. Thereupon the yachtsman spoke up tartly and said that his time was his own, but that he would contribute the advertising expenses of the tea company out of his own private purse Just to stop the mouths of the kickers. The directors immediately accepted his generous offer and apologized. ‘Whether this cablegram was pald for by the Lipton Company, Lim- ited, is an open question. It looks suspicious. | INJURIES PROVE SERIOUS Waiter Graham, the boy injured on East Jefferson stteet yesterday morning by running into a street bear, ie atill in a precartous condition.
