THE WAY TO REDUCE IS TO
REDUCHi

One effective way to reduce the
price of commodity is to reduce it.
Increased consumption is not going
to be induced through a reduction
that does not reduce; such reduc-
tion, for instance, as that made by
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany on electric current for domes-
tic uses other than lighting.
The Consolidated Gas, Electric
Light and Power Company, of Bal
timore, has come forward with a
reduction that reduces. 1t recently
cut the rate on gas for lighting
from 80 to rs cents per thousand.
Now it announces a reduction on
gas for domestic uses, which pre-
sents sharp contrast to the method
employed by the Washington COM
pany. 1t is a reduction that will
mean something; mean it not to a
handful of users, but to many thou
sands.
Here is the plan:
Beginning February l, gas for
lighting purposes will be served at
rs cents per thousand. But for all
used in excess of the amount used
in the month of greatest consump-
tion in the last year the rate will be
35 cents, provided that amount is
not less than 1000 feet.
This means, in short, that if in
any month of last year a given con-
sumer used 1000 feet, then in fu-
ture he will be entitled to use 1000
feet at 75 cents, and as much as he
likes in excess thereof at 35 cents.
There will be no need of new meter
or meter charge; it will be a simple
matter to determine how the
amounts are to be divided between
the two rates; and it seems equi-
table.
The effect of such reduction will
be startling, in the domestic econ
omy of thousands of homes. Take
the case of the small consumer, who
has not used gas for cooking and
heating. Assume that he used 1000
feet per month for lighting, his bill
last year-when the rate was 80
cents-was 1920. Under the new
arrangement let it be assumed that
he used the same 1000 feet for
lighting, and in addition 1000 feet
for cooking and heating. This gives
a showing thus:
1000 feet at Is cents..........s3.oO
1900 feet at % cents.......... lao
1otal ..............''..''' f'io
Former average cost per 1000. soc
Future average cost per l 900. .S5c
1t is apparent that this change in
rates will induce a large use of gas
for both lighting and other pur-
poses; for the average family will
use more light on the 35-cent basis
than it did on the S0-cent one, be-
sides being willing to install fixtures
for a general extension of gas
utilization.
Between this Baltimore gas plan
and the Washington electric "reduc-
ton" there is the difference between
sincerity and insincerity; between
genuineness and buncombe; between
frankness and the utter lack of
frankness. The Baltimore company
will increase it's business, as we'll as
it's popularity with the public; the
Washington company, in the light
of the exposure recently made by
The Times, has merely managed to
add to the force of the community
conviction that it is trying con.
stantly to "put something over" on

AT one point the president said:
II am not saying this in spirit of
Indictment. But the real trouble is that
business has been under the direction

short hand expression for that small
body-we call il Wall Street. And,

men i'll and about Wall Street who

and public spirit and who don I intend

and we will have to use it."
because, the president continued,
"there are other men in Wall street who

AND RICHARD
BUY MADISON SQUARE
Jimmy Johnston Due to Hit
the Skids in the Very
Near Future
Py H. G Ham. ION

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Nov. Jimmy Johnston,
who has had so much to do with box
ing bouts at Madison Square Garden
that his name has come to be syno-
mum for the big enclosure, is just about
ready to take his seat ON the creased
skids.
Some time today Edward Z. Mccall,
who is receiver for the Garden expects
to come to terms with Tex Rickard and
Samuel McCracken, promoters extra
ordinary, and these two will come in
to active charge of all bouts at the
Garden.
Mccall has announced he is going to
depose Johnston as matchmaker for the
show corporation, lessees of the Gar
den Athletic club, and it is all be-
cause Jimmy did not want to make
an accounting to the liking of Mccall.
Also Mccall is displeased because John
ston didn t go through with the Moha-
Weinert bout, which caused the boxing
commission to order suspension of the
Garden shows and to fine the Garden
Athletic club $1,000.
McCracken and Rickard, when they
sign the papers, are going to inherit
the Moha Weinert affair, whether they
want it or not, and it will be the first
bout to be staged in the garden. Rick
ard and MeCracken are understood to
have promised that they will stage this
match and some say they even have
agreed to pay part of the fine assessed
against the Garden Athletic club.
Are Great Managers
Before Rickard and McCraeken can
stage their bouts they will have to go
through the motions of organizing an
athletic club and will have to apply
for a license at the boxing commission.
Jimmy Johnston is apt to make fuss
when this time arrives, as il Is under
stood his contract for the conduct of
Garden bouts has another year to run.
He is now in disfavor with the box
ing commission because he failed to
show up at a meeting of the commits
sion in response to subpoena.
McCracken and ,Rickard have been
associated for many years in various
ventures, among them being the mons
ter affair at Reno in 1l0 when Jack
johnson won the. heavyweight title
from James j. Jeffries.
Rickard and MeGracken startled the
pugilist world by offering a purse of
$l0l 900 for this and coming out of 1t
with huge profit.
1t was Rickard also who staged the
bout at Goldfield, New, between Joe
Cans and Battling Nelson offering a
purse that in those days was considered
ridiculous.
The fight attracted an enormous
crowd and Richard was big winner.
His last effort was the Willard Moran
bout, in which he was associated with
McCracken and which netted him
neat profit. Richards long record of
promoting bouts shows not one unsuc'
cessful affair.
Rickard is said to be contemplating
a match between Charley Weinert, local
heavyweight, and Jess Willard for the
heavyweight championship. Johnston
had been trying to arrange 60 be-
tween Frank Moran and Fred Fulton,
but this bout is now considered defi-
nitely off. Ike Dorgan, manager of
Moran, has wired terms for such
bout to Harry Sherman of st. Paul and
an attempt is being made to stage it
on Thanksgiving Day.

Marion County Fruit
Growers Invited to
Horticultural Show
(Canital Jonrnal Special Servicel

Capital Journal Special Serviee)
Corvallis, Or, Nov. 2.-'T wish to
extend special invitation to Marion
county fruit growers to come and en-
JOY our Hort Show with us and get
the benefit of our very excellent dis
plays said Professor c. /. Lewis con-
cerning the Third Annual Show to be
held in the men S gymnasium Friday
evening and Saturday, next. Competl-
itive exhibits of fruit grown by gradu-
ates, some of whom live in Marion
county, will be one of the principle
features.
The show will be staged in repre-
sentation of the early English Tudor
garden. 1t will consist of three groups,
lpomology, Horticulture, and vegetable
gardening. The man feature of the
pomology display will be 40x60 ft.
floor map of the United States outlin.
ed in moss, showing the types, variet-
les and amounts of fruit grown in each
state. There will also be apples of diff
ferent varieties from thirty states to
compare with the Oregon grown fruit.
Competitive exhibits from the home
orchards of students will also be dis
played. Other fruits will be arranged
in baskets designed to show the possi-
bilities of fruit decoration both for
the housewife and the merchant.
The central feature of the vegetable
gardening section will be model green
house showing the types of plants and
methods of production in growing
plants under glass. Another feature of
the display will be market packs of
leading vegetable products of Oregon
and district markets. The main display
will be grouped about broccoli, Ore
gon S new and promising money vege-
table crop.
Chrysanthcmums will feature the
floral display. This alone says Profes-
sor Lewis will be worth to many peo-
pie all the sacrifice it requires to come
to the show. The decorative possibili-
ties of Oregon S ornamental plants will
be exemplified for the benefit of home
makers and home owners.
81 hope our growers will feel, ~ con-
cluded Professor Lewis, "that they can
come and spend the day with us as our
guests and at the same time gain
more comprehensive idea of the vast
and wonderful possibilities of Oregon
horticulture. -
