Not" said Miss Irwin. that I be-
lieve in unrestricted franchise for
either sex. | believe in an educational
qualification. Every man or woman
who votes should be able to read or
write.
But when it comes to a matter of
the full franchise for one sex as
against another, then both men and
women should have equal voting priv
iIeges, whether restricted or unre-
stricted.
And I do not believe in property
qualification alone for women" stated
Miss Irwin. Many educated and bril-
liant women who do not own property
are far more capable of expressing
| themselves wisely through the ballot
than the average man.
But assuredly the women who do

their adjustment. Here am l. | pay en-

seyenty-three cents per 1000, the COM

capitalization. The company, by its
proposition has admitted that it can
furnish gas at seventy-five cents in
large quantities at profit. 1t ought
to do so according to its own stand
Iards to all our citizens.
Profits Too Great.
But the standard of profits is I'M
PERSONALLY high. In Indianapolis the
report in 1910 shows that the Con-
lsumers' Gas company supplied only
$500 consumers and had only $50
miles of pipes, yet it furnished gas for
5sixty cents per thousand to people of
that city In Toledo gas is furnished
lat still lower rates. In Passaic, n. j.,
when 1t was found that the common
council was about to close contraC-
lat fifty cents per thousand with the
former mayor Andrew MCLEAN, the
limited Gas improvement company Of
ifered the same rate and agreed to
tpay in addition, $4,000 to the city for
seventeen years, $4,000 to each of
the hospitals, $4,000 for a new school
land to the Fireman's and Policeman's
Relief fund, $4,000 each. According to
the report of the American council in
birmingham, England, the city gas de-
.partment of that city, which is operat-
ling it as a public utility made three
reductions in the price of gas within
-four years, the last reduction being in
1911 from fifty-three to forty-six cents
,per thousand for a quarterly consump-
stion of less than $4,000 feet; to AZ
icents between $4,000 and 100000 feet
sto 80 cents from 100000 to 100000
fleet; to SO cents for consumption be-
tween 1000 900 and 100000 feet, and
flor each additional million reduc-
Ition Of two cents until a minimum rate
sof twenty-four cents is reached. For
manufacturing and motive power the
reduction was from sixty-six to thirty
two cents; for a quarterly consump-
ton of 100000 feet or less and so it
was graduated until a minimum of
twenty-four cents was reached and all

Oppose Long Contract.
'It will be seen from these figures
what enormous profits can be realiz-
ed by gas companies when properly
managed 1t is to be hoped that our
city government will not think Of en-
tering into a new contract for a long
term with the Light, Heat and Power
company on any such terms as propos-
ed. 1t is better to submit to their eX-
tortionate charges few years longer
under their present franchise than to
tie up the future of our city by such
an improvident contract.
"It is to be hoped that within the
next few years a change in the laws
,and constitution of Indiana will permit
the condemnation and acquisition of a
public utility like this by our city and
tits operation by the municipality for
the benefit of the citizens and we
fought not to forestall any such &C,
