Donald X. Richberg, special attor.
ney for the city in gas litigation mat
tiers, made the fiat statement that
the state public utilities commission
Is without power to fix gas rates for
Chicago. He said this power was
vested alone in the city council, and
that the act creating the commission
did not take away this power.

J. Lynch, chairman of the city coun-

could rest assured that there was lit.
tie chance for the Peoples Gas Light
and Coke company to override coun.
ell made rates by appealing to the
state commission.
The gas company asked the state
utilities commission to assume the
power to regulate gas rates in Chi
cago," said Mr.. Richberg, although
this power has been delegated to the
city o. Chicago by legislature and
laws, which have never been re-
pealed by express language or by
necessary implication.
The Peoples Gas Light and Coke
company was granted charter In
1855. its right to operate in the cit,
was made dependent upon the con

MACHINERY. MAcHlNiSTS AND
WAR.

Although 1t frequently has been
said in the last three and half
years that this is a war OF machinery,
not much has been said about the
machinist-the man at the drill press
and the lathe. Here in America, the
land OF machinery. the war is being
fought. The man with the handful
OF cotton waste and the delicately
marked steel rule Is doing remark.

fort to defeat the Prussian military
scheme OF world domination. The
motor he bores, the gears he cuts,
the bearings he grinds and the brass
and steel he cunningly fits together

the fact that this country is pos.
sessed OF many clever artificers and
an abundance of metals ought to spell
ultimate victory for the nations cause
in the war-world freedom and de-
mocracy.
But there is another angle that
must be taken into consideration,
Unless the Government at Washing
ton is provided with sufficient funds
to conduct this war, all the machinery
on earth will not bring victory. II
lies with the artificer and every other
citizen to aid in providing the Gov
eminent with the necessary money.
Ever since the war started In Eu

his now historic message urged Con
