GHEAP els.

The ,eople of Kansas City are en-
loving the rare luxury of a gas war,
AID gas has reached the unpreee-
derted low price of 80 cents a thou
sand cubic feet in that city This
low rate has been brought about by
the Philadelphia Gas Trust, which
has declared war against a local com.
pany which had previously reduced
the price to ST. This is the biggest
single cut ever made in the price OF
ga, in America. Recently the Stan
dard Oil Trusts gas interests con
quered the Addick' S gas syndicate in
Brooklyn by a cut Of, first, from ST.. 20
to ST. and then to 80 cents, but the
low price Of SO cents has never before
been reached,
This gas war has exposed the I'M
mense profits heretofore made by
the gas companies in the leading
cities of this country. The usual
net rate fingers around 81 and 80
a thousand cubic feet. Ia Little
Rock the rate is $3.50 and in Pine
Bluff So thousand cubic feet, but a
reduction Of 80 cents per thousand
cubic feet is made if the bill is paid
before 5th or the 8th Of the month.
This makes the net rate in Little
Rock So and in Pine Bluff $3.50 per
thousand. The rate varies with To-
cation, but, as we remarked above,
the usual net rate in the leading
cities Of the country where there is
no competition is about 81.
In view Of these charges it might
be interesting to know that during
the controversy in Kansas City,
Col. Payne, one Of the officials, de-
eIared that his company could make
two per cent on the capital invested
by furnishing gas at 81 per thou
sand cubic feet. Commenting on this
statement, d dispatch says that this
would be a profit Of $50, 900 annually
on the present gas output at Kansas
City. The income at 81 would be
$175, 900 showing a grand cost Of
production, according to Col. Payne,
of $40, 900.
In view of these figures the in
curry naturally arises what would be
the proftsof the Kansas City Gas
Company if it received the same rate
for gas per thousand cubic feet as OBJ
tain in Little Rock and Pine Bluff
At 81 per thousand the annual in
come of the Kansas City Gas Com
pany would be $350,000, from which
take the cost Of production, $40, 00Q,
audit leaves an annual profit Of
1910, 600.
St. Louis is another city that is
enjoying the benefoient blessing of
cheap gas. The local gas company
OF that city has reduced the price to
81 per thousand cubic feet, and the
reduction is announced to be a
permanent one.
In the campaign for lower prices
in gas thelocaI consumer cannot but
hope that the low prices prevailing
in some Of our neighboring cities
will reach Pine Bluff. The net price
in this city is $3.50, and in view of
the recent disclosures from official
quarters to the effect that gas can
be manufactured and served to CON
at 81 per thousand, and
then a dividend of two per cent
made on the capital invested, it does
seem that there is room for a big
slump in the price Of gas in this
city
The GRAPHIC is informed that the
and contract of the pres
ent gas company expires next year,
and it might be well for our city
fathers to bear these facts in mind
when they come to make a new con
tract.

TIE NELTAN YIELDS

The Sultan Of Turkey has yielded
to the demands Of Of the Powers for
reforms in Armenia, under the pres
sure Of gunboats, and has issued his
proclamation to that effect In the
mean time, however, the Armenians
are still seeking refuge in the
churches and gunboats from Toraish
slaughter and assassination, and it
remains to be seen if the reforms will
give the Armenians the protection
desired There is danger, however,
that the protection OF the Powers
may embolden the Armenians to
outbreaks against the Turks, which
may result in still further riots and
disorders. Ia the meantime the
Powers refuse to withdraw their
gunboats, which were so powerful
and persuasive in bringing the Sui
tan to terms, from Turkish waters;
and their formidable presence may
prevent further disturbances for a
time and insure the execution of the
reforms demanded by the Powers.
