RAIL LIFE PLAN
Santa Fe Inaugurates Life In
surance for Employees.
Minimum of $3.50 and Maxi
mum of $4,000 in Benefits.

A system of free life insurance,
automatically received by every en-
ploye of the road, after two years
service, has been established by the
Santa Fe railway. effective July 1. The
benefits to be paid employees dying in
the service of the company will
amount to per cent of the last yearly
salary multiplied by the number of
years of service. A minimum of $3.50
and a maximum benefit of $4,000,
however, has been fixed.
The plan. which will not be adopted
permanently until it is given a two
years trial. has been under consider
alton for some time by officials of the
company. Approximately 5000 en-
ployes of the company in Topeka
have been in service more than two
years.
The Santa Fe is the first road in
the country tc adopt the free insur-
ance plan. The only system in any
way resembling it is Il cooperative in
surance plan adopted by the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad and operated
similar to hospital benefits of the
Santa Fe, for the maintenance of
which employees contribute.

PLAN ON RATE CHANGE
Branches of Kansas Natural Gas Com

Independence, Kan, June 30.-At-
torneys representing distributing COM
panies bondholders, stockholders
committees and other interests. and a
few officials from Kansas and Mis-
souri, cities. met in the circuit court
here in response to a notice that John
Landon, receiver for the Kansas Nat
ural Gas company, would make his
the court by the receiver, regarding
into effect the Accent raise recently
authorized by the federal circuit court.
Mr.. Landon suggested that a grad
uated scale running from 2S to 81
cents be charged. according to the
distance from the source of supply.
This met hot opposition, as also did
the suggestion that the present ar
rangement with distributing COM
panies be abrogated for one by which
the Kansas Natural could collect at
the gate for gas furnished instead of
taking share of the distributing COM
panies' receipts and absorbing the
waste. This latter item was declared
to be large, running from 80 to 40 per
cent. and was due, the companies de-
clared, to poor pipes.
Distributing companies feared sepa-
ration from the Kansas Natural

now enjoy as units of an interstate

state and federal court rates, a posi-
ton under which they claimed they

Rise In Gas and Tires
Costs Pierce County
Thousands ofDollars
: a Day. Fine for John

Auto owners of this city are
dropping $9,324 into the Rookie
Teller Golfers every day for gaso-
line, or $9,303,260 in a year.
1t isn't "the high cost of liv-
ing" any more. Now it's "the
high cost of automobiling." All
tomobile statesmen figure that
the increased cost of gas is going
to create havoc in the sales Of
new cars.
As for tires-my goodness!
When you think that the in
crease in gas is staggering, just
cape a moment at the leap taken
recently in the pneumatics on
which all autos roll.
Rubber tires took a flat leap
skywards of 10 per cent. Over
size tires, which are becoming
more popular . every day, AMI
which are now being used on
probably one-tenth OF the cars in
Tacoma, jumped Is per cent.
Some of the large oversize tires
doubled in price.
On those $500 cars in Pierce
county, the average cost of tire
Is $25. A new set of four is
necessary about once a season.
That means 100000 spent for
new tires each year in Tacoma
and Pierce county. Ten per cent
increase is only about $4,000.
OF course, the Roths-
childs, who control the rub
her, don't need the money.
But we know one thing
They've discouraged us
from buying that little run
about this season.

Ever stop to figure up inst
what war tax" Tacoma automo-
bllists are paying?
Not to Uncle Sam, of course,
but to John D., who handles the
gasoline output, and the Roths-
childs, bosses of the rubber tire
business.
Get ready for a shock.
Every time John ID. shoots
up the price of gas one cent
gallon, Tacoma digs up
$500 additional perfectly
good dollars each day.
And Pierce county Is pay
ing $3.50 more every day
for gasoline for It's automo-
biles than II did year ago.
According to the figures of
County Auditor Morris, there are
1900 automobiles registered
from Tacoma, and $500 from
Pierce county outside of the
city, a total of $500.
A year ago the price of gas

IS 1-2 at the service stations, a
flat increase of 7 1-2 cents a
gallon in a year.
The average daily consumption
of gasoline a car. including auto
trucks, is eight gallons, accord
ing to automobile men.
IL that seven and a half cent
increase holds, Tacoma will spend
~ ,379,700 additional for gaso-
line this year, over the previous
normal price.
