FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
APPEALS TO PEOPLE
Americans Must Save Staple Foods
if hungry Millions of Europe Are
to BE Fed

Until the next harvest the utmost
saving of all staple foods will be
necessary if we are to feed the hun
cry millions Of Europe and thereby
arrest the spread of social disorder
which threatens the whole of Eu-
rope" says j. n. Emerson, county
food administrator. IF We practice
the most careful conservation we can
furnish Europe 100000 to 20
100000 tons Of all kinds of food
stuffs For the satisfactory feeding
of all Europe much more than our
available surplus is needed
of Europe's 42O,000,00O people,
all but 40.000,000 will require food
imports to carry them through to the
next harvest. Plans have already
been made for supplying deficiencies
of the 125,0O0,00O people of the
larger allies, England, France and
Italy.
Oul tliO0b plNSolliS AOOu I'oh -
to supply the necessities of the 75,
100000 people of the small countries
just liberated from the German yoke.
These include Belgium, Seryia, Rou-
mania, Poland, Lithmania and the
Czecho-Slovaks and the Jugo-Slavs,
Our first duty is to re-establish these
peoples in health and comfort. Their
full needs will not be known until
MIR. Hoover returns from Europe,
where he has gone to make a COM
plete survey of the food situation.
The devastation wrought by the
Huns in France and Belgium has
been repeated in many of these sec
lions and great quantities of food
will be required to prevent further
misery and starvation"

Proposed Increase of Nearly 400 Per
Cent by W. W. +. Co. on Electric
Power Rolls City Fathers

Alleging that the proposed in
crease in power rates for municipal
pumping purposes for the city of
Pullman by the Washington Water
Power company is exorbitant and en-
tirely unreasonable, the city coun-
Gil Thursday evening took steps look
ing to a full investigation of the
feasibility of changing from cleo
trical power to steam or gasoline en-
gines Members of the council were
also instructed to confer with admin
istrative heads of the State College,
which maintains its own power plant,
to ascertain whether or not it will
be possible to secure power for
pumping purposes from the college
plant at fair rate in case the pro
posed Washington Water Power in
crease is made effective.
The proposed increase in power
rates by the Washington Water Pow
er company based upon the recent
determination of the valuation of the
plant, would mean an increase OF
from 800 to 400 per cent in the
cost of pumping water to the city
reservoirs, and the members of the
councilmanic body are unanimous IN
their declaration that they will not
stand for any such increase in the
cost of maintaining the municipal
water system, but will resort to one
of the three emergency measures
named if it becomes necessary.
After full investigation it is alto
gether probable that one of the three
measures will be approved by the
council.
During October just passed the
city used 1890 kilowatt hours of cleo
trieity for pumping purposes, the
company's bill being $3.50. Based
on the new rate proposed by the COM
pany the cost of operation during
last month, for the same pump and
the same amount of power, would
have been $297.15. For the full
wear ended October 81 last, the total
cost of pumping, under the old tariff,
was approximately $1,000; under the
proposed new schedule it would have
amounted to s3697.55.
Considered by the council as a
"eounter-irritant' is the proposal OF
the Washington Water Power COM

CITY MAY TRY GAS OR STEAM
POWER FOR PUMPING WATER

pany that a new 400-gallon pump be
installed by the city to replace the
present pump of 800-gallons capac-
ity, the contention being that the
present pump is large enough for a
town four times the size of Pullman.
The company submits figures to
show that the operating cost of the
smaller pump, under the proposed
new schedule, would be, based on
the demands of the past 12-month
period, $2176.65, as against
$3697.55 for the S0O-gallon pump,
while the purchase price of the new
pump would be close to $4,000.
The new tariff filed with the city
administration by the Washington
Water Power company, includes, be-
sides the municipal power rates,
changes in the residential lighting,
commercial lighting and power, flat
rate lighting, general power flour
mill power, bulk grain elevator, mu-
nicipal street lighting, flat rate water
heating, and employees rates.
A slight reduction in rate is not
ed in the residential schedule, the
proposed rate being 3 cents per kill
owatt hour for the first 20 hours,
with three cents per hour over that
amount, the present rates being IS
cents for the first so hours,
1t is expected that the state pub
lie service commission will be in
Pullman early next month to conduct
general hearing and strenuous OBJ
jections to the proposed increase in
power rates will be registered with
the commission.
The. new rates proposed by the
Washington Water Power company
for electrical current for different
purposes are as follows:
Residential Lighting and Cooking
Rate-First 20 k. W. hours per
month, 13c per k. ". hours; all over
that amount, three cents per X. W.
