MAY GIVE 70 CENT GAS.
THE CONFUSION TO SIT.
Tzco Petitions Presented asking 1t
to Take 4ction ON Price.

The State Lighting Commission will begin
next Monday at the City Hall hearing on the
application of citizens for reduction in the
price of gas in this city. If advance informa ton
can be depended on the commission will order
a reduction in the price of gas from 81 to about
a. cents or 10 cents a thousand feet The Ste
vens committee recommended uniform rate for
this city of so cents thousand feet, and an at
tempt was made to pass bill making this the
rate. After bitter fight the bill failed TO pass
its opponents being led by Senator Patrick H.
McCarren
The State Commission is composed of the fol-
lowing Frederic E. Gunnson, chairman; Joha
G. Davies ex-Attorney General, and Lucien l..
Shedden. The commission has Offices in the
Hanover Bank Building. For weeks 1t has bean
getting ready for practical action.
Before the commission are several petitiors
asking a reduction in the price of gas. One az
these is known as the Page petition, its sponsor
being Alfred c. Page. It asks for reduction
of the rate to 10 cents thousand feet. An
other petition has been filed by Clarence j..
Shearn candidate on the Hearst ticket for Dis
trict Attorney IT asks for reduction in the
rate in accordance with the findings of the Ste
vens committee which found that gas could be
solo in this city fair profit at 10 cents a
thousand.
Under the law the State Commission can
investigate on its initiative the quality
and purity of gas and the pressure ernployed
the mains. but it has no AUTHORITY to take
up the question of reducing the price of gas
unless requested by the Mayor of a city or
by a petition signed by at least one hundred
citizens.
Mayor Mcclellan while putting himself on
record in the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment in favor of a municipal lighting plant
has not made any move toward geIung
lower rate from the gas companies 1or the

OTHER LABOR IN THE SOUTH.

While it isn't a fact that the in
PRODUCTION now of Italian laborers
throughout Georgia has passed the
experimental stage, as intimated
in an Augusta dispatch, it seems
that these laborers give satisfac-
ton in Griffin, where quite large
number of them have been en-
ployed by contracting firm. 1t
may be that Italians are employed
in other parts Of the state, says
the Savannah News. If so, the
fact has not been reported to the
newspapers.
Continuing upon this important
subject the News says:
We have no doubt that gradual
| " Italian Iaborers will migrate to
this and other Southern states. In
the country districts the negro la
borer doesn't seem to be giving sat
isfaction. He is becoming too I'M
reliable. He isn't ready to work
when he is wanted and too often
he is missing just at the time when
the need of him is greatest.
Italians are making their way
into South Carolina and Alabama,
according to recent reports. For
several years they have been set
Ting in Louisiana, some of them
being well TODD farmers in that
state: Italian immigration, once
turned towards the South, the
probabilities are it will steadily in
crease in volume.
A question is, does the South
care for Italian immigrants? Are
there not immigrants of other ma
tionalities she would rather have?
These are questions that should
be considered at once. Now is the
time to settle it. Will the German
and Scandinavian settle where the
Italian does? Italians from some
lsections of Italy make excellent
citizens. Those from other parts
are likely to remain laborers al
| their lives, or return to their ma
tive country as soon as they have
accumulated a few hundred dollars
| The coming of these Italian la
borerS should be notification to tn,
NEGRO that if he doesn't become
Isteadier, more reliable and thriftie.
he will have to migrate to SOM
other section of the country. Tn,
E Italian will run him out. TIL,
Italians have run the negroes GU
of very many occupations at tn
North and they will do the SAM
thing here in the South unless tn
negro becomes more worthy of tn
, place he occupies.
