The people Of Springfield, ILL.,, are
aroused over an action of the city
council of that city in restoring a very
low rate to large consumers of water
"a rate less than cost-and charging
high rates to small consumers to
make up the deficiency. That was
the system in vogue here before the
new rate ordinance wegt into effect
The water company was giving very
low rates to one class of large con
sumers and was forcing the small
consumers generally to pay ex-
orbitant rates to more than make up
the loss on the favorites. The new
Nater-ordinanee has upset this sys-
tenn of robbing the many for the bene-
tit of the few, by compelling the
water company to charge fair rates to
ALL consumers; and the small fel-
lows, the house-holders, the working
men who use only a few buckets of
water daily In their homes are not
forced to pay for water used by the
big fellows, in order that the water
company may be saved from loss.
The Springfield Register. in the
course of a vigorous editorial com.
mcnt in the matter says
Superintendent Willis j. Spaulding
of the waterworks department has
made a good fight to secure a more
equitable arrangement OF the water
rates. He has demonstrated clearly
what an outrage was being perpetrated
uron the small consumer by making
him pay high rate to support the
water works system while the few
special privilege corporations are
supplied with water at less than cost.
THE State Register approves OF
any plan OF action whether it he the
formation Of a consumers league or
any other similar procedure which
will afford protection against perpe
tration of these offenses by priv
ilege serving city council

- Does radinm, after all, exist? DR. Gus
tave Lebon, the eminent Frenchman, says
no, and offers to prove that radium is
merely barium, if any one will give him
about $4,000 to pay for the experiments
The net practical result OF these, as he
points out, would be to convert one body,
radium chloride, worth $4,000 gram
into another, barium, worth less than a
penny a gram. But the scientific conse-
quences would be considerable.

The Demands of the Pressmen Stop

Denver. Jan. 14.-It is possible that no newspapers will be read at Denver breakfast tables tomorrow. The de- mands of the International Pressmen's Union for an increase of pay are still under discussion by representatives of the union and the managers of the News, the Times, the Post and the Republican late tonight.
 The demands of the .pressmen in clude a seven hour day. an increase from s. s4 and s5 per day for press men and helpers, to s4. s and S6 and back pay on the basis of a seven hour day from March 1, 1909, when the de- mands were first presented. The reg ular editions of the Post, an afternoon paper. did not appear today and only one edition of the Times. It is inn probable that an agreement will be reached in time for the mail editions of the morning papers.
