WANT The GAS BILL PUSHED
Citizens Express Themselves Strong
ly in Favor Of Reduction.
Financial Ability of the Company tn
Out-Has Paid Extra Dividends.

Public sentiment in favor Of the 75-cent
gas bill introduced into the House by
Congressman Madden is being expressed
freely BY those who are vigorous in
their advocacy of the reduction in price,
it is pointed out that such lowering OF
the rate viii not be detrimental 10 the
interests of the company. It is shown by
the financial record Of the corporation
that it has been able 10 pay not only its
regular dividends without trouble bat
also To furnish extra slices from its finan-
cial melon TO its stockholders. Aside from
the fat profit features, it Is the conten-
ton of the supporters of the cheap-rate
idea, that lower prices will cause an in
crease in the business of the company
that will more than Offset the difference
in the receipts caused by the lower scale.
At the same time it is pointed out as
one of the beneficial results that many
who are not able now 10 do so would be
given the opportunity TO make use Of the
gas as fuel in their stoves and ranges.
Il is expected the agitation in favor of
the bill is likely to take some definite
form before many days are past. and
inasmuch as most of the citizens assO-
Citations have approved the measure, It
is quite probable concerted action will
be undertaken 20 get quick and favorable
consideration of the measure by Congress.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Permit me TO congratulate the young
est Washington newspaper upon being
the only one TO editOTially and unequiv-
ocally support the 75-cent gas proposition.
When we come to think of it, it is
strange that a member Of Congress not
on the District Committee should be the
first to champion this righteous measure
The House and Senate District Commit
tees could have given US 75-cent gas
years ago. 1t is years since we were
offered 75-cent gas by a group of re-
spOnsible citizens. at the head Of whom
was the late Anthony Pollock. the rich
est man in town. These citizens offered
to deposit 100000 in cash in the Treasury
as an evidence of good faith. to be for
feited if they failed to give us 75-cent
gas upon a gas franchise being given
them. II was not given, and. of course,
did not need to be, for the existing com-
pany, being the creature of Congress.
could be required to furnish 75-cent gas
at the pleasure of its creator
There may be few doubling Thomases
who, through tenderness for vested in
terests. would want to have it demon
strated that IS cents is a fair and suffi-
cient price. The proof is Obtainabie.
Several legislative Investigations have
shown that in communities where the
gas-prOdu2ing material costs about the
same as here, gas of . candlep0wer can
be delivered at the burner for less than
40 cents. However. we need no other
proof than the record Of the regular and
extra dividends Of our gas company.
Three years ago it divided a sum equal
to its entire capital stock. in addition to
its regular annual dividend The proof
of the pudding is in the eating
There are some dark spots in the his
tory of this light-producing corporation.
In the year 1866 the stock was increased
