ELECTRIC LIGHT
RATES GOETO
of President
A. E. Merrill and Aldermen Piatt B.
Walker and Wendell Hertig. Henry G.
Bradlee of Boston, one of the high of
ficers of the General Electric circuit,
was present at the meeting. Another
conference was, held today, and the
urday.
Mr. Pillsbury has, presented a volumi
nous and somewhat technical report,
which is described by Mr. Bradlee as
an able, and comprehensive document.
In answer to the, first, "question sub
mitted as to the anibunt' of the reduc
tion in the new schedule proposed by
the, Minneapolis J:Genera/' Electric com
pany, Mis Pillsbury iays^that tae sched
ule offers sl^htly^redue^d rates to the
^^short^6#^^1i^rjta^nt
consuiiae^y 'S^J^,
i-a'W^:e'
rates,lighting to the
long hour'"^vi.sxe of} electric power.
He furthermore, says 6that the prices
are not exorbitant in view' of the com
pany's reports as to' its investment,
gross expenditures^ aaid net profits.
Accompanymg"the report is a table
comparing rates for -electricity in about
thirty cities. Figuring on the basis of
ten lamps per 7 kilowatt hours, one
half an hour a day, he finds that eight
cities have higher rates than Minne
apolis has, eight about the same rates,
and thirteen lower rates. On the basis
of 30 kilowatts a month, or two hours
a day, there are only three cities hav
ing higher rates than Minneapolis, and
twenty-six with lower rates.. He ex
plains, however, that comparisons Qn
the basis of rates "are neither fair nor
satisfactory, as conditions vary greatly
in different cities.
Mr. Pillsbury recommends that, in
stead of adopting the proposed sched
ule of the General Electric company,
limiting the maximum charge to 14
cents a kilowatt hour, with a minimum
of sixty hours a month, the city re
quire the company to make the same
rate for a minimum of fifty-two hours,
for a period of a year or two, after
which, he says* there should be a fur
ther reduction to 13% cents a kilowatt
with a minimum a month of
hours, At th' end of-an five-year period

Do the clubwomen want to force all
the manufacturers of adulterated and
fraudulent foods into bankruptcy in a
single day? They can do it, if they
choose, by refusing to buy the products
of the manufacturers. Without a-mar
ket, the manufacturers cannot do busi
ness.
This is the solution of the pure food
question, according to Professor J. H.
Shepardof the South Dakota pure food
commission, who spoke today before
the general federation at the biennial
this morning.
If the consumer is ignorant of what
he buys, ignorance.'is not an incurable
disease and he can'educate himself to
deal intelligently with the pure food
problem. Study the pure food laws,
read the reports of the pure food and
dairy commission, ask that these reports
be published in the daily paper, advises
Professor Shepard. These reports should
give the lists of all foods inspected,
whether legal or. otherwise. It is not
enough for a dealer to know the legal
and illegal goods, the consumer should
know.
Adulterations are of two kinds, those
that perpetrate fraud upon the consum
er, and those that are inimical to the
public health. Every American wo

Mayor's Soul Thrills.
Following the music, Mayor Jones
was introduced. While disclaiming a
technical knowledge of music, the mayor
owned that he had a soul that loved
music. Nature itself had flashed a
warm welcome to the delegates'this
morning, which he could but echo from
the city. He paid a tribute to the City
as a musical Mecca, and expressed the
hope that before long Mihri'eapolis
would provide free public concerts dur
ing the summer. As an antidote for
the evils city life is said,.to .possess the
mayor could suggest nothing better
than good music.
Following the mayor Gustavus John

occasion to congratulate the members
on the successful season just closing.
