GERMANY's ONLY HOPE

m 7 should be clear to any
German living in America
that a German defeat of
fers the only hope for German
people to secure the freedom
they crave. They are OPP
pressed by the military party
and subjected to conditions
that would never be tolerated
in America. Let the forces of
ruthlessness win the war and
Germany will be bound by new
shackles to the kaiser's chariot.
Let the allies win and the Ger
man people will come into their
own. By industry and ability
exerted along just and honor
able lines they can have their
place in the sun. They can
have what they can never get
lnder the kaiser, the right to
political freedom and the gov
ernment of their own country.
The German or man of Ger
man descent who is not whole
heartedly for an allied triumph
is a poor friend of the German
people.

That Question Of a Higher
Gas Rate
ByEARL GOODWIN.
Government wons Pay share % Let's Maks the Private
User Pay the Whole Bin

The gas company petitions for an increase in rates for
the same reason that the telephone company Petoned
Both companies have been selling service too cheapy to
the Government and the private consumer Is looked upon
the legitimate Of to make up the deficit
In the of the telephone company it was not adj
mtted that the Government rate was rdicuousy low until
the evidence dragged ont after painful process of
expert testimony In the Of the gas company, Con-
gress rate of 20 cents thousand cubic feet for gas
used by the National and District Governments within the
District Of Coumba and the gas company had to accept
it, right or wrong, but every one knew the facts
Let go back: In the old days, before the Public
Utilities Commission created the law allowed the Wash
ington Gaslight Company to sell gas for dollar and al
lowed the Georgetown Gasght Company to sell ges for
$110.
Then the Public Utilities Commission created By
an act of Congress- with certain duties; and one of these
duties to establish rates which the street companies
to establish just and proper rates the Public Utilities Com
mission first had to calculate the proper valuation Of the
various public utility plants.
The Commission must first know exactly what the
property worth solid condition that may calculate
exactly what return should be allowed the investment
So the Public Utilities Commission undertook to make
valuations and before could arrive at the facts In the
of the gas companies Congress leaped into the air and
established rates for gas follows:
For the Government 20 cents thousand cubic feet;
for the public served by the Washington company Is cents
thousand and for Georgetown consumers, IS cents
thousand.
A relief of course but not an action based on any
logic, far recall All this took place In the Dis
months later the Public Utilities Commission announced its
conclusions in the matter Of fair valuation OF the gas
plants here.
Then in December, 1917, the gas company asked for
increased rate bang its plea increased COSTS and
the two companies (then being merged) allowed
90cent rate. - - &
But all of this time the Government has been getting
gas for 20 cents
Now the gas company claims cannot do business for
80 cents for privately sold gas and 20 cents for Government
gas and asks to allow tia rate that viii bring the
age up to profitable basis
All of which that if the Public Utilities Com
mission allows increase the blame for this extra
established ratemaing body and then suddenly made
its own rates, without knowledge of the facts

Ny Justification for taking part In
the discussion aroused by Mr.. Kent's
