Sorcnsen Believes Public Owned Plants Have the Right to Branch Out Power Lines. "By what richt municipalities are denied the privilege of i their, power Hpcs to serve rural sections adjacent to said torney General Sorenseu to the Ne- braska League of Municipalities of Crete, president of the league, presided at the meeting, which was attended by nearly 200 persons. "Everything is secondary to that which brings the greatest comfort to the greatest number of people," Mayor Lynch of Fairbury told the i yofficials Wednesday afternoon, speaking OB alleged unfair practices that power companies have used in insinuating their services in small communities of Mebraska to the detriment of rural residents. One hundred twenty cities and towns are represented at the meet- Nebraska at the closing session held at the Lincoln hotel Wednes- judg- day night, incut be "cannot in my There fundamental principles involved. I-'irst, municipal plants have a right to reach out into outlying rural sec- lions, and second, no city council shall have a right to sell a municipally owned plant without the consent of the voters." 'When the legislature accords rights to lobbyists as individuals and not to the communities of the they are discriminating the law of equal rights.

They have an inscription on the. state house that reads, "Equality before the law," and that is all the' towns of Nebraska are asking for," he said. Lynch asserted that the Governor and Pptnu, Peterson spoke on developing Nebraska and municipal projects. "Power trusts ha've been spending too much money in politics and trying to aid their Various projects in many states thru this method," said the attorney general, "and have Keen known to spend from 55 lo per vote in different communities in order to defeat municipal owned projects." Able to Retire Capital. "There are two differences between private and municipal power companies," said C.

Petrus Peterson, "the private owned plant does not retire its capital investment, while the municipal plant eventually is free of capital indebtedness. The present handicap against municipal plants extending into rural sections, makes it impossible for farmers in various parts of the state to get power as no private company will operate between the city limits of two towns if it cannot get city patronage. "Power companies had written on the statutes a clause making a 60 percent vote necessary to establish a municipal plant, but this has been reduced to a majority. The Lincoln plant is reaspnably near total retirement of its capital investment and were it not for this feature, which private companies cannot complete, the city of Lincoln could not meet the rates of big power interests, which it has been able to do." Mr. Peterson explained how the Canadian system, a public subsidy by the goremment itself, retained a 50 percent capital investment plus cost of maintenance and used the dividends for new power line construction.

Should Be Unhampered. "It is written into the state constitution that water power of the state cannot- be alienated," said Governor Weaver, "and we must protect ourselves from the monopolies of the future. The program for the state and national government will include irrigation, navigation, flood control and water power sites. It is only fair that municipalities should be able to govern themselves by a majority and be unhampered in furthering progressive measures in their communities." The governor spoke of the Missouri river improvement program and the bringing of industry into the from the time that his name ap pears on the ballot a public office until he is elected, and then the influential means at their command are exerted to have him do their bidding. To overcome this influence, he said, there is only one means--the organization of all the towns, to bring pressure to bear on Omaha and Lincoln so that these cities may know that the rights of the smaller towns, which are all contributing to the wealth of the larger cities, are being violated.

Mr. Lynch also brought out that the majority of the municipally owned power plants in the state are on a sound financial basis and are rendering a real service to community. The following resolution was presented at the afternoon meeting: "Nebraska League of Municipalities again endorses positively the program of bills presented to the legislature in session, in the interest of all citizens represG'iie'l. "Also that nothing therein is in way intended and our judgment does not worlc a hardship on any community or organization, but does mean much for ilftvolop- ment electrically of the outstate communities.

Strongheart, who for several years has been lecturing the country over for a "square deal for the- Indian," declared that the American people, not being conversant with the present status of the red- man, haven't a general knowledge of conditions as they exist in many of the schools set aside for Indians on reservations. He touched upon the present senate investigation of conduct of reservations and schools. The Indian being confined, he said, the reservation, prevents him 'rom mingling with whites and acquiring for himself a sense of responsibility which -would otherwise render him equal in intelligence and knowledge with others who are allowed full rights of citizenship.
