CHEAPER GAS.

The proposal of representatives OF
the Omaha Gas company to reduce the
price of gas to 800 in consideration
of an extension of their present fran
chise is worthy of consideration as an
indication that concessions might be
had by negotiations IL satisfactory
terms can be reached. That 1t would
be far better to get relief from the
present gas company than to seek it
by granting second franchise to a
all who have studied the problem.
Successful competition in gas is not
to be found in any city of any size in
this country, although the attempt has
been made time and again, and IL we
are ever to reach the stage of munic-
ipal ownership the city will be in much
stronger position with only one gas
plant to acquire rather than two.
The suggestion, however, is good
and applies for that matter not only
to gas franchises, but to other fran
chises as we'll, that the city should
formulate its own scheme of franchise
concessions and fix the terms with
view to safeguarding the public inter-
ests as well as protecting the private
consumer as a condition precedent to
submitting any proposition to the
people for ratification. In the present
case the price of gas in Omaha has al
ready been reduced 20 cents thou
sand Cubic feet within the past year
and the proposed reduction to $1.00 is
not to take effect for another year,
so that there is no reason for great
haste on either side.
If the city and the gas company can
get together without yielding any of
the reasonable demands of the public
it would be a contamination highly
desirable, but it would not do to sac
rifice the interests of the Greater
Omaha of the future for small pres
ent gain.

The complete report of the Interstate
Commerce commission, which has just been
published shows that in the fiscal year
ended June 30. 1906, the gross earnings Of
the railroads of the United States were
s2,os2, 49, 4O6 passing for the first time
the two billion mark, and being an in
crease Of s107 .3OSs15 over the earnings of
1904. Operating expenses in 1895 were
1880, 500 152, leaving net earnings OF SOIL
$50, "a, an increase over the previous year
OF s55,602, 4l6. The operating expenses aver
aged trihe more than two-thirds of the
gross income.
That we are a nation OF travellers is
shown by the commissions report that the
total number OF passengers carried by the
railroads in 1905 was 73SS34.661 Estimat-
ing our population at 100000. it appears
that on an average every man, woman and
child in the country took over nine trips
that year on the steam railroads. to say
nothing of their travels on elevated, sur
face and subway lines using electric. cable
or other motive power.
There may be some people in this coun-
try who have never travelled on steam
railroads. but the companies don't miss
them. In 1895 the railroads carried %. 49,
9S5 more passengers than in 1904
AS a rule In making reports of the pas
senger traffic the railroads do not include
those travelling on passes. an immense
number in the aggregate. 1t will not be as
large In the future, owing to the anti
pass provisions of the new interstate COM
merce law. While there will be big
decrease henceforth in the number of
"deadheads," the earnings Of the rail-
roads from passenger traffic will show an
enormous increase. Not only Will passes
be abolished, except for railway men, but
nearly all reduced rates for individuals
and many low rates which have been
granted on account of conventions and
other events will be discontinued
1t Is probable that a number of states
win > enact Laval thfs year reducing TIE
maximum passenger rate to cents
mile but this may result in gain in
stead of a loss in earnings to the railroads.
1t did so In the case of the Boston &
Maine road which recently voluntarily cut
its passenger rate from cents to cents
per mile.
The increase I'm travel on that line was
so great at the lower rate that there was
a big gain In net passenger earnings, much
to the discontinue of the managers of
some other roads, who predicted disaster
from the rate reduction.
