rHE TCE TRUsp.

Topeka Is in the hands Of an ice trust,
which il Is evident viii turn the screws
sim further upon the people at the flrst
opportunity. The ice supply for this
city il in the hands of one concern, the
Peoples Ice company.
This company has worked a great
hardship upon the poorer classes for
the reason that no ice can be- bought
except two or three dollars worth at a
time. What is needed IN this city is
something to compel the sale of ice in
small quantities. Women and children
and invaIids among the poorer people
suffer intensely during this heated
weather for the lack Of ice. These days
ice is not a luxury, but q necessity.
Heretofore people could take a nickel or
a dime and purchase ice when It was
sorely needed. This cannot be now
done in the city Of Topeka directly
from the company. nor indirectly from
others. The ice company prevents any
of its larger customers from selling
SIN aller lots. and Will not sell direct.
Last evening the city council under
took to in some way get after the ice
trust and regulate it. Today Superin-
tendent Dickey of the ice company
makes the astonishing statements:
If the city regulates our prices we
will ship our entire product out of the
city. We are here in the interests Of
our company"
What do the people think of that2
Topeka without ice in the summer is
almost like a city without fuel in the
winter. It may be that there are legal
difficulties in the way of regulating the
price of ice. but ice is in the nature of
a public necessity, and If a company
will not treat it's patrons justly there is
certainly some way of bringing it to
terms
If the ice company does not see that
its own best interests lie in the direc-
ton Of decent and sensible methods
the city should exhaust all means to
see that its people are protected from
imposition, from suffering and a gen
eraI high-handed N ethod of doing bust
ness.
If the ice company has legal rights it
may of course stand on them What
would the people think of the water
company, which has been independent
enough for all practical purposes. if it
should say 'if the city undertakes to
regulate US we will shut off the supply
of water"2
