"HOw is your gas ?"

That is the question asked in every
quarter Of the city. The Tribune has
received many. complaints about weak
gas pressure, and especially during
the past ten days.
In every part of the city is gas by
no means normal. but in some sec
tons it is a great deal better than ii
others. Many people living south Of
Good Hope street have been unable to
use the ovens of their stoves for moro
than week.
The gas used for cooking at the St
Francis Hospital has been too low to
bake with recently. Mrs. NJ. J. KOeck,
living on South Middle street, has
been compelled to send the greater
part of her food to the neighbors who
have coal ranges. II have been IN

in the history Of the Department, the
receipts averaging over 81 ,000.C0 per
month.
Although the receipts of the Office
have fluctuated somewhat from year
to year, upon the whole q gradual in
crease is shown during the fifteen
years in which the beer inspection law
has been in operation. This fact Is

within d few months because of in
sufficient clerical help. The work was
not thereafter resumed until the pres
cnt administration provided sufficient
clerical force to carry it forward.
Our dealings with those whose bust
ness brings them into official contac.
with the department have been uni
for,nly satisfactory to the reprcsen-
tativcs Of the State. Although the
brewers must pay 1872 cents per bar
rel more for doing business in Mis-
souri, than is required of them for do
ing business elsewhere, there has not
been disccrniblc the slightest attempt
upon tic part Of the brewery interests
. oppose the administration OF the
law or to evade any CT It's provisions,
and such difficulties as We have on
countered have been due almost sole
" to the occasional incGpacity or IN

come to the State of Missouri: fact
which NAV afford some ground for
fclicitation uDOu the part of thu tax
payers Of this State when it Is re-
membered that Missouri is The only
State in the Union enjoying an income
of this kind. The brewing industry in
addition to meeting the Ordirars tax
and license burdens which prevail gen
orally. IS required, under our beer in
spection statute, to pay an inspection
fee of 1912 cents per barrel of 81 gal
Ions upon all beer sold in Missouri.
Other states have attempted similar
legislation, but the Missouri statute
is the only one witch has, before tie
courts, stood the test of constitution
atty.
The Missouri statute is constitution
al only because it is primarily an in
spection and not a revenue measure.

this reason. although deeply gratified
by the increase in our collections, It is
nevertheless the policy of the present
administrator to press the inspection
features Of the statute. We have -ac-

during the past two years. The rec
ords of our laboratory show that dur
