WILL ASK INCREASE
IN GAS RATES HERE
Application TO Be Filed With
Service Commission.

Mr.. Leon H. Ware, receiver for the
Martinsburg Gas Company, has been
granted permission by Judge Aston
G, Dayton. of the Federal Court, to
file application with the West Virgil
MIA public service commission for an
increase in the rates for gas supplied
to consumers in Martinsburg. This
application will be submitted to the
state board within the next few days,
and will be- acted upon in a short
time.
The gas company will base it's APP
plication upon the increased cost OF
production of gas, stating that every
item which enters into the manufac-
ture of its product has advanced in
price to a point where an increase
in selling price is necessary to pro-
tect the stockholders. AS Superinten
dent Ware is operating the gas com
pany under the Federal Court re-
ceivership, it was necessary for him
to get permission from Judge Day
ton to file the application.

and the record Of such bonds and
their renewals are IN the hands Of
the state treasurer
The second risk in the present
system is in depositing state funds
in banks at times when their deposi-
tors bonds may have expired and
nave not been renewed. in which
event the state is without any pro-
lection whatever
In view Of the fact that the taxes
from the public service corporations
for his fiscal year will be due soon,
when nearly three million dollars
win be paid into the states credit,
the action Of Treasurer Johnson has
been taken at this time so that all
these funds coming first 10 him, may
be distributed among the banks in
amounts covered by their bonds, If
their bonds still are in force, and if
expired, to prevent their being plac-
ed in those Institutions at all
While he will still have no control
over the other funds being deposited
daily under the present law without
his knowledge as to where they are
being placed until the deposit slips
come TO him, he believes the new
arrangement will add greatly to the
safety Of the largest proportion of
the states income.

Charleston, ian. 5.--Breaking down
practices which have been in use in

ficaths q such deposits TO the state
treasSIer for record, Treasurer w.

that this authority belongs to him and
declares that he intends to be state
treasurer in fact as well as in name.
In support of his position, Treas
urer johnson has secured the passage
BY the state board OF public works a
resolution directed to all public ser
vice corporations in the state, request
ing them ito pay their 191741S taxes.

hereby directed to transmit copy
Of the foregoing resolution to each

In stating the purpose OF his action,
the treasurer points out that it is
necessary, SO that he may be in posi-.
ton properly to protect the, state and
its funds under two important risks
for which he, as treasurer, is held
responsible. One of these risks is
the over-depositing Of funds in some
ofs these banks beyond their bonded
liability To the state, over which his
only means of control under present
practices. is through checking out
those funds in paying the states OBJ

Ono Strong Man.

Secretary Baker has not convinced
the members Of the senate committee
on military affairs that his compla-
ditions and management Of war de-
partment business Is warranted by the
facts. The committee fears that the
secretary's testimony has given the
country a false impression OF the eff!-
cheney Of department methods and OF
the degree Of success attained in sup
plying the army with clothing and
munitions.
The country has sources OF informa-
ton quite apart from the secretary's
statements before the committee. Men
OF affairs who have spent weary weeks
in Washington trying to do business
with the government. official and VOL
untecr workers In war service. persons
having knowledge Of conditions at
Washington and In tho camps, do not
share Mr.. Bakers contented optimism.
There are reports OF a feeling OF gloom
and apprehension at tho capital. OF a
feeling that the business Of preparing
for war IL not under competent man-
agement and direction: and there Is q
pervading fear that ca1amities ana
national humiliation viii be the penal
ties OF administrative incapacity to
make good and effective use Of the
vast sums congress and the people
have provided.
