FIGHT FOR cHEAP GAS.

Judge Hook made a ruling in the dol
lar gas case this week which is OF more
than passing interest, not only in its
litigation. but also because of the fact
that the court admitted that it was
contrary to his personal judgment to
rule as he did.
The point at issue was whether or not
a municipality has any right to enter
into a contract such as was found in
the franchise of the gas company, spec
flying limitations ON rates. 1t was
shown by the attorneys for the city that
the supreme court of the United States
has by bare majority of one ruled on
a question similar to the present one,
and because of that opinion, the city's
contention in the present case was sus-
tanned by Judge Hook. The only argu-
ment which the gas company's attor-
neys could find in refuta ton to the SUI
preme court ruling was that the ruling
was contrary to precedents and what
might be called a freak" opinion. One
of the supreme judges who voted in
favor of the opinion. 1t was pointed out.
is now dead, and the chances are that
before long the position of the court
will be reversed.
As it is, however, the city succeeded
in excluding from consideration all tes-
timony which is calculated to show that
the rates in other cities similar in size
to Topeka are as high or higher than in
Topeka, which the gas company would
have had to prove. 1t will save a great
deal of money for which ever side in the
controversy is obliged to pay the costs.
The issue in the case is now clearly
drawn. 1t is simply question of
whether the rate which Topeka pro-
poses to enforce is so low that the gas
company cannot make a fair profit on
its product. The company has intro
duced practically all of its evidence on
this point. 1t has taken testimony in
Topeka, Chicago and New York, and
has piled up a big bill of expense for
somebody to pay Now the city will
take hand, and try to prove that the
gas company can manufacture and sell
gas for s1.O0 per 1000 feet, and still
make a good income on its Investment.
