Get Married on Job.

The Kansas supreme court and the

the gas case directly in conflict with
the decision of the opinion of Judge
Wilbur Booth to the effect that the
state utilities commission has no juris-
diction over the Kansas Natural Gas
company and it's distributing COM
panies.
In his opinion three weeks ago
Judge Booth decided that the Kansas
commission could not fix or regulate
gas rates in this state. He held, also,
that the gas controversy involved fed
eral questions and that the gas dis
tribution in Kansas was interstate
commerce Today the supreme court
wrote an entirely different opinion
when it said that the Olathe company
could not increase rates without the
consent of the state commission and
issued a writ of mandamus in the ac-
ton.
Contract Must Stand.
The supreme courts writ was issued
in suit brought by the Kansas COM
mission against the Kansas Natural
and the Olathe Gas company. The gas
companies are alleged to have sought
to abrogate the contracts by which the
Olathe company obtained portion of
it's gas from its own wells and the re-
mainder from the Kansas Natural. The
court held this contract could be brok-
en- only on approval of the utilities

Notwithstanding. The Kansas court
held that the sale of gas was subject
to state control. 1t said
Notwithstanding the decision in the
federal court touching the interstate
character of the business conducted
by the receiver. we adhere to the de-
cision that when selling natural gas to
consumers thereof, in this state, the
receiver is not engaged in interstate
commerce.
The Kansas court holds that the
distribution of natural gas is specific
