Gas and Coal Equivalents.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
There is one phase Of the gas question
that has not been discussed I'm the Journal
that should have some attention in Indian
apolis at this time, and then the proper
steps can be taken TO ascertain the exact
equivalent in feet Of gas OF ton of coal.
OF course, there are various grades Of coal
and various qualities of gas. but there is
some average quality OF coal in Indianap-
oils, and IL will not be very difficult TO OBJ
tain a reasonably accurate statement OF
the amount of gas that has the heat equiv
alent OF a ton of coal. / have made
number Of experiments and have had
others made, and i have no hesitancy in
saying that when the best quality Of Hook
ing Valley soft coal is worth 81 per ton,
then natural gas has an equivalent value
of Z cents per thousand cubic feet measured
under an eight-ounce pressure, and used un-
der similar conditions and I'm practically the
same, heaters. / would suppose that the
best grades OF soft coal at Indianapolis
would cost the consumer about s. per ton.
at which price it's equivalent in natural gas
under the pressure indicated would be p
cents per thousand cubic feet. IL the con-
sumner, at his own expense. purchases i'm
proved and economical apparatus for use
Of natural gas that fact is no more the
business of the gas company supplying
the same than IL would be OF the coal
company If one were to use economy In
the use Of that sort of fuel.

Meters Mt Richmond.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
As Richmond has survived the gas-meter
epidemic some observations from one who
was stricken, but is recovered, may be
useful. First. meters are necessary. be-
cause the pressure Of gas cannot be equal

in all homes; when payment is by the

amount OF gas furnished is very UNEQUAL:
with meters you pay for what you burn only
Second, when there is not enough OF any
commodity TO supply the demand some
thing has 10 be done TO determine who
shall be served; IL is true now OF gas AT
Richmond. and has been for several wears
that there Il not enough for us all our
gas company put In meters and raised the
price from l2lR 10 - cents In order TO cut
DOWN the number OF consumers so that the
gas would supply them; they may have
had other reasons. but the shortness Of
gas compelled them 10 do something. They
tried 10 discriminate and have two prices
according 10 the use TO which the gas was
put, but the courts would not allow IT,
The present service is generally satisfac-
tory: but Ia very cold weather they still
cannot supply all who take gas AT the

AUDITORS RIGHT DENIED
BRIEF FILED IN THE COMMERCIAL
INSURANCE COMPANY CASE.
Charles Il. COfiin-Cases in
the County Courts.

Attorney Charles L. Coffin filed a brief
in the Supreme Court yesterday for the
appellee in the case of the State of In
diana ex rel. William II. Hart, auditor
of state. VS.. the Commercial Insurance
Company, of New Albany. This action was
commenced by the auditor of state as re-
lator. and asks for a writ of mandate
against the insurance company requiring it
to permit the auditor to examine its books.
papers and general financial condition. An
alternative writ was issued. to which the
appellee addressed a demurrer, which was
sustained by the Marion Superior Court.
An appeal was prayed for and the case was
taken to the Supreme Court.
In the brief of appellee just filed the
points and authorities and arguments are
set out. I'VE call the attention of this
court to the fact that nowhere in any of
the provisions of the act is there a single
word that refers TO the right of the auditor
of state, or any other officer OF state, under
any circumstances, to wind up any COM
pany doing business under special char
ter whose condition should be discovered
to be unsafe or insolvent,' says the brief
I'm fact, nowhere in the act is there any
provision whatever made for the imposi-
ton OF any penalty upon these so-called
special charter insurance companies for
failure or refusal to comply with the pro-
visions of the act.
The theory of the appellee is that what
ever may have been the purpose of the
Legislature in passing the statute in ques-
ton, the scope of the act is limited ami
restricted by It's title. and that the title
relates to the doing of one thing, and 20
that one thing only, namely. the filing Oe
annual reports with the auditor of state.
III VIII be observed that this title Is special
and not general in it's character. 1t is not
an act relating to insurance companies
generally, but it is simply an act requir-
one speclnc thing. and this specified act
10 be done by the insurance companies re-
ferred TO only once year, and always on
or before certain day of each year. .
counsel for appellant contend that for
a long time, ever since 1871. all eXamna-
state by the auditor of state have been
made with the authority conferred by the
act or 1917. We are willing 10 concede that
the auditor of state has had no other
authority for his examinations, but that
is only equivalent 10 saying that in every
been a usurDer of authority and an intrud
er, without warrant of law, into the bust
ness OF insurance companies and that, too.
at the expense of the companies whose
rights were unlawfully invaded.
we do not imagine that the examina-
lions heretofore made by the auditor of
state. whether made by the consent of
the companies willingly given or given I'M
Ger threat or other species of terrorism,
Will be able to shed much light on the
constitutional question now under discus
sion. We do not deem it necessary TO ex-
judgment of the Marion Superior Court
shall in all things be confirmed "

The Bluebird.

When ice is thawed and snow is gone
And racy sweetness floods the trees:
When snowbirds from the hedge have flown
And on the hive porch swarm the bees
Drifting down the first warm wind
That thrills the earliest days OF prinR
The bluebird seeks our maple groves
And charms them into tasseling
He sits among the delicate sprays
With mists OF splendor round him dra vvn
And through the springs prophetic veil
Sees summers rich fui1lment dawn:
He sings. and his is natures voice
4 gush OF melody sincere
From that great fOunt OF harmony
Which thaws and runs when spring is here
Short is his song. but strangely sweet
To ears aweary OF the low
Dull tramp OF winters sulien feet
Sandaied in ice and muffed i'm snow.
Short Is his song but through il runs
A hint OF dithyrambs yet 10 be-
A sweet sugzestiveness that has
The influence OF prophecy.
Sing strong and clear. o bluebird deari
While all the land with splendOr fills
While naples gladden. in the Wales
And plum trees blossom the hills.
Float down the wind on shining wings
And do thy will by grove and stream
While through my life springs freshness runs
Like music through poets dream.
