CHEAPER GAS TO-DAY
COMPANY SENDS NOTICE.
Holds Consumers Responsible for
Dollar Rate Pending Test Cases.

The Consolidated Gas Company has served
notice on its customers that while it viii sell
them gas at so cents. beginning to-day. 70 avoid
,he consequences OF disobeying the law, it win
make them pay the dollar rate in the end IL 1t be
any way possible. Two notices We're sent out by
the company yesterday. One announced that the
new rate went into effect to-day. and the other
declared that because OF the change in all the
urepayment meters. the company would "gite
away seven and half feet OF gas to the con-
sumer who uses this kind OF meter.
The company, filled with concern for the
N3orer classes" says that by doing this it win
ye them the equivalent OF $4,000 year. Ac-
.ording TO the new rate the possessOr Of pre-
oaynaent meter is entitled to S12h feet OF gas
for each % cents There are about 10000 meters
OF this sort In the city, and most OF them have
been adjusted 10 the new rate by the addition Of
4 small crown wheel to their interior mechanism.
For some reason. the gas company says that
these meters cannot be adjusted TO exactly 1929
feet and that when it came to adjusting the
meters to the new rate the company faced the
problem of giving the consumer either 21s feet
less than he paid for or IA feet more The COM
pany says It adopted the latter course.
About ninety thousand Of these meters have
been adjusted thus far. but the company calls
attention to the fact that this is kind Of WORK
which requires the services Of a high priced
man, which makes It more costly 70 the COM
pany"
The company's attitude in accepting the new
rate is shows by fits announcement which is dis
tinctly surly. It takes pains to announce that
until 1T shall be judicially determined that the
company is restricted 20 the said rate. the con-
sumner VIII be held liable for the additional
amount TO which the company Is entitled"
The announcement Of the new rate is made in
the following language:
Under compulsion OF Chapter 125 OF the Laws
of 1906 and of order Of the State Gas Com
mission made pursuant TO Chapter 13G OF the
Laws Of 1905, the company, for the purpose OF
avoiding the penalties and consequences OF dis
obedience TO the said acts and order, renders
within bill at the rate Of 80 cents, instead OF
81 a 1000 cubic feet Of gas.

Roosevelt Now a Protectionist.

New Zealand, through her prime
minister, has offered to reduce her
tariff ON our goods to the same pref
erential duties as she grants England.
But after an interview with President
Roosevelt the prime minister declares:
Reciprocity is not an easy thing to
bring about with this country" Evi.

that to let in New Zealand wool at a
lower duty would disturb the whole
protection fabric and that the stand
patteTs, who control the Republican
party, could not think Of permitting
1t. Trade, however favorable to our
manufacturers or exporters, which
would come through meddling with
the sacred tariff, would interfere with
the monopoly the trusts and combines
now enjoy. From this we may draw
the conclusion that President Roose-
welt has now joined the Protective
league in spirit, if not in fact.

A large number of plants of few

Magazine.
In front of these very tall plants
should come the larkspurs, foxgloves
and others, that grow to a height of
three feet or SO. In front of these
come 'columbines, bleeding heart, day
lilies, lupines and a score of medium
sized ones. Low edging plants, either
annual or perennial, come right down
to the edge Of the lawn. English
daisies, pansies, primulas and low
flags are used for this. Sweet alyssum
is good. too. 1t has a delightful habit
of ~self-sowing, so that it may fill all

Official Perquisites.

Most business men feel very fortu.
nate if they can take two or three
weeks holiday in a year, and farmers
and wage-earners usually have to be
content with a days holiday now and
then. But government officials from
the president down take months of
vacations, and even the clerks and
government laborers are entitled to
80 days vacation with full pay. At
the same time their hours of service
are much less than in other occupa-
tons and their salaries are greater
than could be earned elsewhere with
the same capabilities. Our officials
the servants of the people-are grow
ing to be a class by themselves, with
special privileges, under Republican
administrations.
