When the corporations want II law

diet the. buy that. too. Where are we
drifting to"
The City Council did u good thing
when It knocked out the Calumet
Western.
The next time the Calumet Western
does business with the City Council I,
will let the Gas Trust lawyers alone
%SA
Fourteen members Of the City COun
ell Of Chicago have relatives working
for the Gas Trust.
The Eagle has the names of all o.
these men ana will publish them In du'
time.
Some Of these Aldermen have sons a
work.
Some of them have brothers.
Some of them have nephews.
Two Of them have cousins.
All of them got the jobs on tn
strength of favOrs extended to the Gu
Trust In the City Council ut the ex
pense of the people.
For the first time In years the Cit!
Council has refused and neglected t
fix the price of gas and to regulate tn
financial dealings of the city with tn
Trust.
RefOrmers come SO cheap that all tn
Gas Trust has to do Is to give employ
ment to the son or other relative of a.
Alderman to secure his vote.
The various gas companies In NeN
York City have Just bid for the cit
contracts. As a result OF the recent
Instituted gas war, the Consolidate
offers gas mt 80 cents per 1000 cubi
feet, while the New Amsterdam Offere
theirs at 45. These are less than one
half the old rate, which was o. cent
Thus New York gets gas for 45 cent
per 1000 feet while Chicago has to pa
81 net.
No wonder there Is no money to clea
the streets!
When a million OF dollars are throw
away to the Gas Trust In order tha
cheap "refOrm" Aldermen may secur
jobs for their relatives, what else ca
you expect?
Millions for the Gas Trust and nc
one cent for clean streets is the shibb'
leth of the reform" City Council.
The most baneful. threatening IN
dangerous influence In public life to-da
