The Gas Situation in New York.


From the American Magazine.
The worst feature of the gas situa-
ton in New York, so far as the inter-
ests of the general public are con-
cerned. lies in the disposition of the
money which has poured into the
treasury of the Consolidated Gas com
pany. Instead Of using these millions
strictly in the development of its gas
business. the company has devoted the
greater part of them to the acquisition
of the securities of electric lighting
and other companies which have so far
paid either very low dividends or none
at all.
Without regard to this state Of af-
fairs. however. the Consolidated has
continued to charge its customers
enough to enable it to pay s per cent.
dividends on its wv capital of $50
600, 900. although only about one-third
of it is invested in its gas plants, with
the result that the gas are
iii fact being taxed through their gas
bills to meet a deficiency created by
the investment in securities which have
so far proved Improbable. Eventual
ly, these electric lighting companies are
certain to make enormous profits. n
as they are owned by the Consolidated
Gas company these profits will pour
into the Consolidated's treasury. What
then is to become of the public's in
terest? Will the price OF gas be vol

be made the basis for another water
ing of the stock? Whatever the future
has in store. the fact remain that at
the present time competition has been
stifed. and whether n uses gas. cleo
tricity or only kerosene. 1t is all the
open pockets at the confluence of the
golden streams.

NERVOUS prosperity would seem to be
the proper diagnosis of the tariff dis
turbing symptoms manifest in various
parts of the country. The country is
doing too we'll Everybody is doing bet
ter than anybody ever did before IN all
history. There must be something wrong
about it, People who are accounted
sane and level headed in the ordinary
affairs of life are fretting and stewing
about this extraordinary prosperity, and
are contriving how it may be upset. Ii
d merchant should voluntarily reduce
his margins of profit merely because of
the conviction that he was making too
much money, or if mechanic were to
insist on lower wages because his ac-
count in the savings bank was increas
ing too rapidly some suspicion would
arise as to their mental equilibrium.
Yet great many people are contemplate
ing something similar to that extraor-
binary abnegation when they lie awake
nights planning how to rip up the tariff
and check prosperity. 1t is queer dis
ease and hard to classify. 1t must be
that it is nervous prosperity.

Indians at State Fair.

One of the most interesting and in
structive features of the Wisconsin State
Fair, to be held in Milwaukee Septem-
Der 1918 will be a model Indian Village,
composed of Indians from various Wis
consin reservations. This exhibit is be-
ing arranged for at great expense and
under the supervision of we'll known
ethnologist, and will undoubtedly be the
best effort ever made in Wisconsin to
show the Indian to advantage and illus
trate his manner of living, games, couD-
ellis and occupations.
The Indian Village will occupy large
portion of the beautiful grove in the
southwestern section of the fair grounds
and will be a free feature for all who at
tend the Fair There will be special
program of Indian events for each day
of the Fair. The committee in charge
of the exhibit propose to show the In
dian as he might have been found in the
wilds of Wisconsin one hundred years
ago. Many of the most striking types of
Indian mon have been secured for the
exhibit, and with them will come their
squaws and papooses. They will live in
their Indian tepees; the babies will be
rocked in cradles suspended from the
trees and the squaws will be busily en-
gagged in making Indian baskets string
ing beads and following their daily rou-
tine work The Indians will be encamp-
ed few days prior to the opening of the
Fair and be a leading feature the entire
week.
Special reduced railroad rates of one
fare for the round trip have been an
nounced for State Fair week
