Gas and Electricity Economy.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Kindly give space in your paper for
the following, as 1t is pertinent to
an article in The Star and other pa
pers which states that the United
States Fuel Administration proposes
to notify all householders that they
may consume only half the average
amount of electricity and gas burned
each month May ask II the house.
holders; who are already heavily
taxed, pay excessive prices for food
and 70 without coal, will submit to
such high-handed methods, when the
roofs Of hotels. liberty gardens ana
dance places are q blaze OF light
night after night from to - o'clock
It is absurd to suppose that people
are burning gas in their homes dur
ing the summer months for any but
necessary purposes-light and cook
ing. As a large number OF homes use
gas and electricity for cooking food.
these homes cut OF with half supply
will be obliged to go with uncooked
food and to sit In semt-darknsss,
while roof gardens and places OF
amusement, pleasant but not neces-
sary consume all the light they want.
If there is such pressing need to save
gas and electricity let the theaters
and such places be closed before
the householder, who Is now bearing
the brunt of the war, il to have his
supply of gas and electricity cut or
at the option Of the fuel administra-
tion. M. c. MERRILL.

to article IL. section 81. Of the police

TAXATION OF RAILROADS

]. e JOnss, the we'll known Wash
ington correspondent, sends out the
following bit of news in reference to
taking railroads. 1t is generally
customary for the government as
well aa state legislatures TO soak the
railroads because they are corpora
tions. MIR. Jones says:
1t seems that even government con-
troll of railroads does not remove the
question or taxation, and now the
government itself is placed in the
position of asking the governors of
the several states, through Mr.. Nc
Adoo, to protect the roads against
being over-taXed. In the old struggle
over railroad matters the difficulty
was to make the roads pay enough
taxes, but Mr.. McAdoo now points
out that the United States govern
ment is the taxpayer. and that the
imposition of unnecessary state and
local taxation on the railroads will
be q distinct impairment to the
carrying on of the war and an added
burden upon the government.
