GAS CONSERVATION.

AT last the citizens of Shreveport
have been aroused to the realization of
gas conservation. How much gas has
been wasted It is not possible to com
pute accurately, but it has been made APP
parent that the gas being wasted can be
conserved and be made usful and profit
able. When the gas In the gas and oil
field was being wasted in the early
stages of Development the Caucasian
urged conservation and demonstrated
that II were possible TO stop the waste,
bet It's argument was met by opposition
and It was more or less ridiculed tor
ifs suggestion. Time has vindicated the
position of the Caucasian. Not only
can the gas being wasted be conserved,
but it can be reserved for manufacturing
purposes.
In this effort at the conservation OF
gas, much credit is due to the Chamber
Of Commerce whose activity in the right
direction is bearing fruit of good re-
suits.
When the committee from the Cham
Der Of Commerce reached Baton Rouge
Tuesday to lay before the Legislature
the condition existing and to plead for
relief, they met DR.. David 7. Day and
Or. c. Willard Hayes of the United
States Geological Survey, from whom
they obtained the most valuable of prac-
tical information. The committee were
given the assurance that not only could
the gas. being wasted be conserved, but
It can be utilized for commercial pur-
poses. II now remains for all the citi-
zens Of Shreveport and of Caddo parish
and this section Of the State to unite in
this conservation Of the gas supply, said
to Be the greatest in the world, and
which, If handled iudiciously, will add
millions of value in the progressive de-
veiopment of Shreveport and this sec
ton Of the State and indirectly the
Whole State of Louisiana.

TUE SMITH RIII

Il would seem that Monroe, as voiced
editorially by the News-Star. is opposed
TO the Smith bill, which provides a COM
mission form of government for munich
paIities Of ten thousand inhabitants.
New Orleans is excepted In this as in
other measures not desired or favored
by the representatives of that city.
The News-Star would urge the Legis
Iature to amend the Smith bill and make
it read: aThe City of Monroe excepted"
This Is unnecessary. As provided in
the bill. the commission form Of govern
nienl as proposed, Is not compulsory on
the city of Monroe. However, the
change of government from the present
system Of mayor and councilmen to
commission Is left to the decision of the
majority of tie qualified voters, when
one-third of such voters shall demand
such an election. Perhaps It is this
feature which Is Objectionable, and
