THE LOCAL FUEL PRODIEM.

If the people Of Indianapolis were not
satisfied by this time that the natural gas
question has been unwisely handled by the
municipal authorities they must be hard
to convince. Nor are the authorities alone
TO blame. for in the course they have pur-
sued they have had the backing OF a great
many people who persistently refused to
see the situation it really existed. There
would be more excuse for this If the situa-
ton had arisen suddenly and taken them
by surprise, but it has been years in COM
ing. The present elimination is the natural
outcome or a long course OF events 1t has
been evident for some years past. more
and more so all the time, that the gas sup
ply was failing, that il was being wasted
in the most reckless manner and that the
time was not far distant when the COM
panies could not furnish anything like an
adequate supply at ordinance rates. II has

deficit in that department which amounts
to about 100000 a year. One is to stop
the free distribution Of congressional docu-
ments and department reports. which the
auditor says costs as much as 100000
year. and the other is TO reduce the
amounts paid to railroads for carrying
the mails. The latter is much the prefer
able way OF the two. Department reports,
reports of the Bureau Of Education. of the
Agricultural Department, the Smithsonian
Institution. etc, are educational. and even
congressional documents and speeches have
some value. The free distribution of these
should continue. but the allowances to the
railroads for carrying the mails might be
greatly reduced. 1t has been notorious for
years that the roads were being overpaid.

The oleomargarine law passed by Con-
gress last winter provided that the manu-
featured product must not be colored to
resemble butter, but now, plaintively says
an Eastern friend of the farmer, many
farmers. unfortunately. are marketing but
ter SO white that ii resembles oleo, and
consumers will not believe that it is the
real article" The writer goes on to say,
with increased pathos, "those who have
the interest of the dairymen at heart
worked too hard and too long to have
this oleo bill passed to warrant its being
made worthless by the carelessness of
farmers" In order to prevent their product
being mistaken for oleo he urges them
to color all the butter marketed, lin order
that it may go to the consumer at its true
value and be paid for as butter" In other
words it is right and proper for butter
makers to color their commodity artificially
until il has the appearance of honest pure
butter: but it is dishonest and even crimi-
nal for oleo makers to use the same
harmless coloring matter and so deceive
the public. Whatever may be said as to
the merits of the butter-oeo controversy,
side lights like this thrown on it show
that the opposition TO oleo is not based
on high moral grounds

The subscriptions for the purchase of
the arsenal grounds amount TO s65,OOO,
which is a creditaole sum, but not enough.
Indianapolis is not a city of millionaires,
but it contains large number of well-to-
do citizens-so many that it ranks among
the wealthy cities of the country-and it
would require a comparatively small sub
scription from each of these to make up
the fund needed. Pride in their beautiful
city and the wish to retain. unmarried

time securing another important educa-
tional institution, should lead them to give

ing evidence that the introduction OF
meters would greatly conserve the remain
ing supply Of gas and equalize its dis
tribution. and that this was the only ration
al solution Of the question. In the face OF
all these facts the city authorities. urged
on by the clamor Of that portion of the
people who refused TO recognize facts or
listen to reason, have rejected every propo-
siton of the companies looking TO con-
tinuance of the service and have persisted
in a policy Of unreasonableness until ii is
probably too late to recover the ground
that has been lost. Now, after one Of the
companies has taken steps for quitting
the business that may be irrevocable and
has adopted new plans for the future, it is
proposed TO ask the companies to accept
terms which q few months ago they were
urging the city to accept. but which were
then treated as unworthy OF serious consid-
Grafton. Early in April last, when the %
cent meter rate ordinance was introduced
in the Council under which the companies
proposed to furnish meters free, the
Journal urged that as ii was a purely busi-
ness question it should be regarded from
a business point of view. 1t was also
pointed out that in view of existing con-
ditions the question probably was between
gas at meter measurement and no gas at
ALL and that natural gas at Is cents per
thousand a very cheap fuel for cook
ing purposes. But public clamor prevailed
and the ordinance. which had the approval
of the companies. was pigeonholed. The
conditions under which it is now proposed
to revive it are, TO say the least, very I'M
favorable to its acceptance by the COM
panies. Even if they are not fully COM
mitted to other plans it would be very
difficult for them to obtain the necessary
supply of meters and put them in before
cold weather. Nevertheless, the ordinance
ought to be passed and the public given an
opportunity to obtain such benefits as may
be possible under it, If 1t had been passed
four months ago the people would not now
be confronted with a probable cessation of
the natural gas service, the near approach
of cold weather and a possible necessary
expenditure of hundreds of thousands of
dollars in remodeling chimneys and flues.
The present situation is notable illustra-
ton, and it should be a memorable one,
of treating purely business questions in a
passionate and prejudiced spirit.
