EDISON ASK RAISE
Electric Light and Heat Rate
Plea to the City.
Plant Now Running at u Loss,
Petition States.

This morning a petition asking for
rate increase was placed before the
.-ty conf --ioners y the Topeka Edi-
son company accom- anied by a nnan-
cial stetemcut covering a period of
overall years and showing a, rising
! ost in all expenses. 1t is declared inn
! possible for the company to carry on
I ou:'Iess under the rates established
! some time ago.
| In view of the increases in the cost
| of coal. fuel oil, labor and supplies. the
petition states that the rates which
were made at a time when these
changes were not al ticipated. are now
| entirely inadequate to permit of carry
| ing on the business of the manufac-
| ture and distribution of electrical en-
| ergy. except at a loss.
The Edison people say that they haa
| hoped to carry this burden without
| assistance and have carried a loss dur
| ing the past year and that the increase
| asked does not compensate for the en-.
| tire increase in cost but is merely the
| amount necessary for them to provide
| roper service under the present con-
| ditions. over which they have no oon-
/ troll. ~ = T.
The increase is not to be considerea

tended to tide over the abnormal con .
| dftions due to the war and the petit

A summary of the exhibits shown
i'll the petition indicate:
| First-That the earnings for the yeaI
ending June 80 1919 will be to per cent
| below those of the year ending June 70
| l91i. altho the volume of business is from
| L to 10 per cent greater.
| Second-That based on the business oil
the year ending June So. 1918, expenses
| have increased $50 100. or IS per cent ovel
the year ending June 80. 1917; and II pres
eat prices continue turnout the Ginning
year to June 80, 1919. expenses will be in
creased $156.O0O. of ~ per cent above tn,
| expenses of the year in which the rate.
| were established.
Third-That the proposed rate will re
| turn $6l 600. which is 40 per cent of tn,
| increased cost of operation but does no
take care of the increases in cost which
have occurred since July and August O
this year :,
In view of this condition the Topeka
Edison company petitions the cit,
commissioners to allow them to:

PENALTY
Germany, Must Pey ii She De-
lays the Game.
Ask for Armistice-Must An
swer Quickly.

London, Nov. 4.-(British admiralty
wireless)-Specific penalty for every
day the war is prolonged after the al
lies submit the arfnistice terms to
Germany, with consequences definite-
ly worse for the enemy If she fails to
recognize the armistice as an ultima
tum, is the exploration of the Sunday
Observer, as a means OF letting Ger
many know there never will be an
abatement of the severity of the pres
ent allied terms.
"A continuance of war on Ger
many's sole initiative. already respon-
sible for four years of inconceivable
horrors, cannot be tolerated." says the
Observer. THE time has come to
force the issue by diplomatic as well
as military means.
Now the main enemy is isolated
and hopeless. must he be tempted to
throw the helve after the Ratchet and
play blindly for some supposed chance
of better terms? The, time has come
to speak plainly to Germany. Allies
and America must speak at last as
masters.
TIC permit this war to continue for
one avoidable day or hour would be a
crime of weakness on the part of asso-
ciates well nigh as culpable of the
crimes OF wickedness on the part of
the enemy.
Now either the thing must stop or
the consequences must be made de-
finitely worse for the enemy. There
should be a specific penalty for every
day which the struggle is prolonged.
The allies must make Germany
understand that for rejection of
these terms. the new system in Ger
many. whatever it may be worth, will
be held responsible from an assigned
and near >date, and that Germany
when oyerthrown and invaded as a re-
suit of the persistence of this strug-
| gle, will be compelled without mitiga-
| ton, to pay its whole cost in cash of
! kind from the date named in the ulti-
