After the Public Service Commission was
established in West Virginia by act of the
last legislature, and The members had been
appointed, the Manufacturers Light & Heat
Company filed with the said Commission its
schedule of rates, as required by law. The
Public Service Commission, on its own motion,
has called upon this company to show not
only that the proposed rates, but also that
those heretofore charged, are reasonable.
There have been number of hearings before
the Commission, the proceedings have been
published, discussion by the public is now
going on as to what is a reasonable rate for
domestic consumption and what for indus
trial consumption.
1t is more important to the people of this
State, than to the gas companies, for reasons
which will presently be apparent, that there
should be intelligent, well-informed consider
alton of this question, and it is also so impor-
tant to the gas companies, that we are
addressing to the people of this State this
letter, and instead of stating what ace think
to be the facts in the case at issue, we ask
you some questions, so that yoW may for
yourselves ascertain what those facts are.

HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS

You know that the gas and oil people have
made some money in the business. We
know that your share in the profits has
been greater than ours as the best data we
can get shows. Did YOU know that since
1890 about $4,000 oil and gas wells have
been completed in West Virginia, for which
there were paid out by the investors to you
as landowners, supplymen, teamsters, work
men, and so on, the enormous sum of about

not to mention the additional millions paid
in taxes, and for franchises and rights of vari-
Gus kinds and spent among you in thousand
ways to hotels, stores, merchants, liverymen,
boarding houses, and so on, making your
share in the business amount to at least

$4OO,OOO,OOO

of which, incidentally, just about one-fourth
went for dry holes, representing dead loss
to the ancestor Of, sag, 70 to 100 millions Of
dollars?
In other words, that the oil and gas people
have spent in the State in the last few years
an amount equal to about one-half of the
whole taxable value of all the property Of
everybody in the whole State?
Furthermore, will you please note that the
population of your State being, say, /, $50 900
Q910 census, 1,221,119), this expenditure of
two hundred and fifty millions among you
by the oil and gas people represents just
$500 for each of you, man, woman, or child,
and the 100000, 900 represents an expendi-
ture of nearly $3.50 for each man, woman and
child in the State?
Are you aware that the oil and gas people
are paying into the treasury of the State of
West Virginia taxes which would wipe out
the entire principal of the Virginia debt in
less than seven years; in fact, that the oil,
and gas people are today paying one-hah of

AMERICANS GO
BACK To MEXICO
At THEIR RISK
State Department Issues
Warning That Unsettled
Political Conditions Make
1t Unwise to Return to
Troubled Republic
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHJ

WASHINGTON, Dec. 50.-A warn
ing that Americans who go to Mexico
do so at their own r!sl; was issue,l
by the state Department.. THIS fol-
lowed the receipt Of consular DIS
patches from TampicO, saying that
Americans returning from the oil
fields of Texas and oklahoma are
finding difficulty in getting work, and
there are more destitute citizens of
the United States at the Mexican port
than at any time since the revolu-
tionary trouble began.
In view of the political conditions
prevailing in Mexico said the de-
partment statement, americans who
go to Mexico do so at their own risk.
The department does not advise
Americans to return to Mexico. even
when they have secured employment
there 1t would appear that many
Americans are under the impression
that because the government gave
them financial aid in leaving Mexico
on account of conditions prevailing
there, it would do so again, should
they return to that country. The
department cannot too strongly en-
phasize the fact that no provision has
been made for continuing to trans
port Americans from Mexico at the
expense of the government"
Dispatches to the state depart
ment today told of the holding up of
passenger train yesterday thirty
miles northwest of Vera Cruz by
bandits, who shot two Carranza of
ficers and eighteen men. The train

PROTEST AGAINST
GERMAN DEMANDS
Belgian Minister Says Requisitions are
Disastrous to Country's Industry

ASSOCIATED PRESS DTSPATCHI
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The Bel
gian minister today filed a protest with
the state department against requisi-
tioning by the German military au-
thorities in Belgium of merchandise
worth 32.000,000 francs. 1t is asserted
the policy of the Germans meant the
ruin of industry in Belgium" The
protest sets forth the goods were not
taken for the use of the German army
and consequently the seizure is a vio-,
lation of the fourth Hague convention.
The merchandise includes cotton.
rubber, tool machines, canned goods
and metal.
The Belgian embassy announced:
The Belgian minister wishes to re-
call attention to the fact it has said
the Belgian laboring people refusd to
go back to work How could the labor
ing class work if all possibilities are
taken away from them? How can eX-
cuses be given for this spoilation of
private properties which is expressly
forbidden by the Hague convention.

Going up, a motion that represents
the opposite of depression, is to be
celebrated for sure Saturday, ac
cording to the decision of the board
of trade committee, which is in
charge. On Saturday afternoon, the
parade-which is growing even larger
than it was planned-and on Satur
day evening, the banquets, which is
settled for the Adams hotel-will
represent the Salt River Valleys
greeting to the prosperity era that
is seen directly ahead.
At the luncheon meeting of the
committee at the Arizona club yes
terday noon, it was decided to have
the banquet at the Adams, and
proper committee was sent around
to see about it. Then the lunchers
set about arranging other details of
their celebration with the result that
the following statement was pre-
pared:
"The Going Up committee has been
looking after the particulars of Phoe-
nix's big Saturday celebration. De-
tails have been left to the members
of sub committees we desire
ideas and suggestions from anybody
who has them to offer.
What we wish to impress on
ieveryone is that the celebration is for
the people, and that we want every
body to take part in it"
The plan of the parade has been
drawn so broadly that every Phoe-
ncian will have a place in it. p. C.

HUNT WILL ASK

Prison Farm, State De-
fender and Graham Noun
tain Game Reserve Will
Be Among Measures Rec
commended in Message

Economy without retrenchment:
progress without extravaganza, are
to be the key notes of Governor
Hunts message to the second state
legislature. While the governor will
recommend that no unnecessary ap-
preparations be voted at the coming
session, it is stated that he will ask
that sufficient amount be set
aside to insure the efficient admins
tration of the state government.
One of the measures which will be
strongly urged in the governors mes
sage will be an appropriation for a
prison farm at Florence The need
of a farm where the prisoners can
work at wholesome and profitable
employment was UP for considera-
ton at the last session, but the pro-
posed method of selection of land
for this purpose failed to meet the
approval of the majority Of legisla-
tors. During the past two years the
necessity of providing suitable land
for this purpose in the vicinity of the
prison has come to the governor S

carrying an appropriation for this
purpose Will be one of the first to
be introduced at the coming session.
Just how much land will be needed
for the new farm and what amount
of money will be necessary are to be
determined a conference between
the governor and Warden Sims of
the prison in the near future.
Prominent among the governors
recommendations will be the creation
of a state defender. whose duty it
shall be- to conduct the defense in
cases where the party arraigned is
unable to employ counsel. This Of
ficial would act as defender in cases
arising in the various counties, his
status for the defense corresponding
to that of the county attorney for
the prosecution.
The Hughes state defender bill, an
act creating just such an office, was
presented at both the regular and
special sessions of the legislature and
was favorably commented on by

Discussion Now Turns to
Measure United States
Could Properly Take to
Reduce High Seas Search
to Minimum

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-It is
known that a total of thirty Ameri-
can ships and cargoes. of a value
totalling many millions, have been
detained by British warships. The
American note to Great Britain, COM
planning of such detention. continued
to absorb official Washington. There
was manifest, though, tone of con-
fidence that the numerous difficult
ties which have arisen the last few
months eventually will be amicably
adjusted.
Already the discussion has turned
to the measures the United States
could properly take in cooperation
with Great Britain to reduce to a
minimum the necessity for an ex-
tended search on the high seas.
1t became known that agents Of
the treasury department, acting in
CO. operation with the state depart
ment in one case, have already in
spected a cargo of cotton, which in
spection satisfied the British embas-
sy and facilitated the progress of the
shipment TO it's destination. The be
lief is held in official quarters that a
mutual understanding might be
reached whereby legitimate cargoes
could he certified before departure
from this country, and thereby made
immune from detention.
With respect to cotton shipments
the case of one or two illegitimate
cargoes, it is recognized, caused the
British government to suspect all
shipments. The United States has
no evidence that there have been
contraband concealed cotton cargoes
but England made two specific com
plants of il. Although not vouch-
ing for or confirming the charges. the
American government thought it ad
visable. nevertheless, to issue a
warning that one fraudulent ship
ment must produce embarrassment

government were somewhat surprised
that the American note had been re-
