BIG PROFIT IN GAS.
Supreme Court Told Cost Of Manufac
ture is 64.04 Cents.

Des Moines. Jan. 23-In an argu.
ment to the supreme court yesterda,
in submitting the Cedar Rapids gas
case, Congressman-e lect James w
Good contended that 1t cost the com
pany to manufacture and distribute
the product an everage Of but 64.04
cents for the five years ending with

plant, or investment on which inter-
est must be earned, were involved in
the Cedar Rapids case as presented to
the court yesterday James II. Trewin
and John Hughes made arguments for
the gas company and Mr.. Good for the
city.
The case involves the validity of a
90-cent rate fixed by the council by
ordinance. The company had been
charging $1.25, with 10 cents off for
prompt payment. The new 90-cent
rate was fiat. The company promptly
ing the rate and Judge F. o. Ellison

the ordinance and affirming Judge Ell
lison's decision, the money held by the
trustee will be returned to the con-
sumers who have advanced it pending

That the adjustment Of the milling
in transit privilege on starch effected
by the railroads at the rate hearing
in Cedar Rapids this week is one of the
most important rulings made recently
in the middle west is the declaration
of e. G. Wylie, freight commissioner
of the Greater Des Moines committee.
Commissioner Wylie declares that
adjustment of the milling in transit
privilege on starch by the Illinois
Central and Rock Island roads is an
entering wedge for the adjustment OF
all milling in transit privileges, unless
the interstate commerce commission
forces the railroads to return to the
old system.
1f milling in transit privileges are to
be cancelled on corn that is destined
to be made into starch. with the same
propriety the privilege might be an
nulled for meal, feed and all kinds OF
cereal products.
Under the old milling In transit priv
ilege corn might be received at Onawa,
shipped to Cedar Rapids, made into
starch and carried on to Chicago un-
der an extension Of the corn charge;
under the precedent established at the
hearing corn destined to be made into
starch must be billed from Onawa. for
instance, as starch. The corn will be
charged for per hundred pounds as tho
it had already passed thru the factory
at Cedar Rapids and been converted
into starch. This makes the rate in the
case Of the Illinois Central ~ per cent
higher than under the milling in tram
sit privilege. The Rock Island in
crease was just as distinct but not
quite SO large.
Commissioner Wylie says that a
precedent has been estab-
lished and fears for the future. unless
the commission restores the old privil-
eye. If all milling in transit privileges
were annulled there would be marked
Increase in the cost Of production of all
cereals, feeds and grain products.
