A Suggested Reform

Every session of congress brings with it the
pork barrel.
Podunk Center wants a postoffice building.
Wants it built of expensive Indiana limestone.
The congressman of the district in which Podunk
Center is situated, mindful of the coming cleo
ton, rustles around most busiy and bids for
Podunk Center's vote by getting bill through
congress providing for fine limestone postof-
flee building for the little village.
Podunk Center boasts, we will say, five hun
dred voters. The new building costs $4,000, or
$50 per voter.
Chicago with 100000 voters has postoffice
building that cost $10,O00,000, or $50 per voter
Podunk Center in other words, has grated
$50 per voter from government taking Chicago
as the basis.
Evidently Podunk Center has postoffice
building beyond the needs of the village. This
condition could be automatically regulated with
justice to all concerned. Let the United States
government provide only portion of the money
towards defraying the cost of postoffice build
ings. Let this be stipulated amount per voter
such as $40. And require at least as much more
per voter to be raised by the community before
the money is available. If Podunk Center then
wants to build a $4,000 post office building, its
citizens can vote the $40 difference per voter.

Honest Gas for Honest Money

Mr.. Bavis' objections to the proposed fran
chise for supplying natural gas to Richmond are
valid and true The things left out under the
assumption that the state utilities commission
will provide for them, will be fatal omission If
the commission should be declared unconstitu-
tional.
When you buy gas you buy two important
things, namely, heat units delivered at certain
fixed pressure
From the first statement made by the gas
companys engineer, Mr.. Krick, the Palladium is
under the impression that the new company is of
fering gas that contains 1000 heat units. 1t is
this standard quality gas that is offered you at
40 cents a thousand cubic feet.
If the quality of gas supplied should drop to
600 heat units you would require 1000 cubic feet
of gas then to give as much heat as one thousand
feet yielded previously. In other words, you
would be using twice much gas or you would
be paying 80 cents for 1000 heat units, where be-
fore you paid but 40 cents.
There is nothing In the present proposed
franchise that protects you from this contingent
cy-except the state utilities commission. And
the constitutionality of this commission is
questioned
Under the state law community has the
right to include in franchises granted by it pro-
Visions Tor quality or service. RlcnmOnQ Cnen
has the right to protect gas consumers on the
basis of quality of gas furnished. 1t can provide
that the 40 cents you will pay for natural gas
shall be for so and so many heat units-1,2 200, &C
cording to the company's engineers first state
ment. And it arrange so that if the heat
units drop to 600 per thousand feet you will only
have to pay 20 cents per thousand feet for the
gas you consume because, at that price, you will
still be paying 40 cents per 1,2OO heat units, the
unit of measurement for gas value
Large factories, efficiently managed, buy the
enormous quantities of coal they consume on the
heat unit basis. They do not pay two dollars a
ton for grade of coal that has 1000 heat
units per ton, and the same amount for another
grade of coal that only yields 1000 heat units per
ton. They buy on the heat unit basis and not on
the ton as the standard.
So with gas and the local consumers.
when it does not insist on an honest bargain with
the natural gas company. You ought to be ena-
bled to buy your gas on the heat unit basis just
as the efficient manufacturer purchases his coal
according to that standard.
President Whitcomb, of the Allegheny gas
company, says his company will not come into
Richmond if standards of pressure, quality, heat
units, ETC., are insisted on in the contract.
Why, if all he wants is to earn honest money
for honest service?

An unbiased audience could scarcely
help handing it 10 the Sayles Players

this is considered the best play pre-
scented by the company since their ap-
pearance in this city. This is the IA

Sayles did well in selecting his cast for
this play and the parts were we'll as

story of the play centers around jim

fact last evening that he is an actor.
Besides the very excellent manner in
which Mr.. Sayles assumes this role
there were several other surprises for
the audience. Sam B. Wilson, general
faVorite here, was very clever and was
most realistic in his part of "Plinky,
Davis" a forger. This is Mr.. Wilson's

the auditors during his short stay

tive last evening. Miss Worth is a
good actress and did better last even

HELBACK MADE GOOD SHOWING

Rudolph Helback. Durant's swift
half mile sprinter, and who outclasses
anything in this section of the state
for that distance, ran in the half mile
in the Inter-Scholastic Meet at Still
water last week, and while the decis-
ion was not in his favor, his friends
believe that the race was at least a
tie. Rudie and his only near rival
finished neck for neck, and in the
opinion OF the gentlemen who judged
first places, the race was a tie, as
both men broke the tape together.
The person that judges the second
places, however, gave Rude that po-
sition and the judges agreed to ac-
cord first place to his opponent.

JAILED yAGs

Thursday afternoon the sheriff's
force jailed a man named Arthur
Decker and a woman named Violet
Decker, supposed to be Decker's wife.
The arrest was made by Chief Bled-
soc on vagrancy charge. A week or
so ago, Under-Sheriff Bishop met this
couple, and learned that they had no
place of residence, no work and no
means of support. He then gave the
man plenty of time to get job, as he
said he was hunting WORK, and told
him that he would be arrested IL he
didn't either get work or leave town.
The man, II convicted of vagrancy, will
likely be put to work on the road
gang, where he belongs. n
