In commercial life. in society, in private
life and even in the gas business-the
greatest Of these is charity-and it's a lot
more fun.
II consumers could have heard Thomas
Crawford Of Clinton, Ia, discuss Attention
to Consumers before the Wednesday aft
ernoon session OF the Iowa District Gas
association they would never again knock
the gas man, and II all gas companies
conducted their business as Mr.. Crawford
would have them, associated charities
could be abolished and every housewife
afford meat and new clothes.
Here are some of the things which the
gas men discussed doing for consumers:
Mr.. Crawford of Clinton suggested:
Free lamps and shades now and then.
IdpeTdilNy IN eNefyLnlnAi
Giving souvenirs to consumers, such as
stove mats. burner cleaners, memorandum
books. new mantels, etc.
Cleaning ranges and even bath water
heaters.
Courteous treatment at the office.
Selling stoves and supplies at cost.
Mr.. Honeywell Of Lincoln:
Helping families through hard times and
furnishing them gas when out OF jobs.
George H.. Waring of Omaha:
Responding promptly to complaints and
making repairs before the consumers can
get home.
After this discussion the lights seemed to
burn Nbrighter for consumers than ever
before and each gas man seemed pledged
to do better by the consumers than ever
before. All agreed that the consumers were
a pretty good class of people after ALL"
and should have the fairest of treatment
from the companies. Mr.. Crawford paid
special attention to this in his paper, while
Campbell Fair OF Oskaloosa suggested that
meters In glass cases be kept on display
in the offices of gas companies that con-
sumers might be educated free Of expense
in reading gas meters and knowing Just
how they worked. Mr.. Fair said he also.
had an instrument which would prove to
any consumer the quality of the gas.

Gas Burning for Health.

During the session ]. C. Gray of Des
Moines presented a paper proving to every
gas man present that gas burning means
health. Substitutes for coffee. breakfast
FOODS, lithia waters and health resorts were
all shown to be of no consequence when It
comes to insuring perfect health for the
family as compared to the burning of gas.
The members of the association liked Mr..
Gray's conclusions so we'll that the sugges-
ton was made by George Mclean of Du-
buque that copies be prepared to present
to the physicians and architects, contrac-
tors and builders, in the big Iowa district.
Mr.. Gray declared burning gas purified
the air and was of great assistance IN
ventilation. as It caused the air in rooms
to change much quicker when the proper
system of ventilation was used. The
speaker had the figures to show just how
much carbon-dioxide the burning of each
cubic foot of gas produced and that with
all the gas and other fires less than l per
cent of the oxygen in the world had been
consumed in the last $500 years.

Can for More Capital.


Recent attacks on corporations nave az
gravated the unfortunate general business
depression TO such an extent that the gas
companies OF the west can hardly get capt
tai sufficient to enlarge and improve their
plants and keep up with the growing
towns
This was one OF the striking statements
mad by Jansen Haines OF Des MOines,
president OF the Iowa District Gas assoeia-
ton, in addressing the association. which
opened its fourth annual session at the
Rome hotel Wednesday morning by adding
twenty-six new members to the list and
recommending that the council select
Waterloo. Ia. as the next meeting place for
the association.
President Haines' address closed the
morning session, which was attended by
about eighty gas men from three different
~states-Iowa. Nebraska and South Dakota.
Il believe that It should be our aim at
all lines to bring before the public the
fact that In no other line Of business Is the
continuity and uniformity Of service so zeal

1.-The Delinquent Account" came in for
discussion following a paper by A. w.
Borden of Hastings, Neb. 1t was during
this discussion that the gas men condemned
a practice which one or two admitted they
had tried.
Though II was a bright idea to put a
$175 wheel into a meter when gas was
selling for 81 per thousand cubic feet in
order to get even with a consumer who
refused to pay his bill" said one of the
gas men. I'VE put this wheel in aud our
deadbeat friend paid S1.75 for his gas un-
I'll the old bill was paid. Then We took
the peter out and put in one with a 81
wheel. Some time afterwards we discov-
cred that the meter with the Sl.75 wheel
had been placed in the residence of another
consumer and he was paying s1.75 for his
gas This Disguised us and we have had
to resort to other means of collecting bad
bills-no more wrong sized wheels for us
IN order to make up on bad onsumer
This provoked the general condemnation
by the gas men of a practice which they
do not like and which does not pay in any
way. 1t also brought out the discussion
of the prepayment meters, and many IA
vored them. Mr.. Crawford of Clinton said
one-third of the meters of his company
were the slot machines and that when
such machines were robbed he had usually
been able to collect the money taken from
the party whose home or store was robbed.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-06-18
Change for Meter Rent.

L. l.. kellogg. general manager of the
Sioux City Gas and Electric Light COM
pany, suggested that the term meter
rent should be erased from the vocabu-
larry of the gas companies and the term
minimum charge" substituted. The sug-
gestion met with favorable comment. the
gas meen feeling that they should have a
small charge as a minimum.
ITO Illustrate" said G. w. Clabaugh of
the Omaha Gas company. I'VE have a
meter for sixty emergency light in an
Omaha business house. This machine cost
US about OF. Sometimes It will not be used
for months, but we have our money in
vested in It and at a low rate Of interest
we would get $3.50 per annum on this
amount of money, Then the meter is de-
preoiating as 1t stays there in the cellar
month after month and not selling a cubic
fot Of gas. On such machines We ought to
have q minimum charge. whether there Ia
a foot OF gas used or not"
