A Plain Statement on the
Gas Price Question
By EARL GOODWIN

The people who pay gas bills viii have the Congress
OF the United States to thank In large the Public
Utilities Commission decides to allow the gas company to
increase the price And it is probable that the commission
will allow increase
Congress arbitrarily fixed price of gas used by the
Federal Government and the District government That
price which may have been fair at the time certainly
lower than the company sell for under present cond
tons
Therefore, unless the Utilities Commission embarks
upon corporationwreckng expedition the gas company
must charge YOU little in order to make proper
return upon its investment
was testified yesterday that the average price paid
by the District and Federal governments for gas is so cents
thousand That IS because Congress- having created
public utilities commission to decide gas and other rates
suddenly leaped onto its hind legs and decided part of
the gas matter all by itself without studying the situation
Now if the gas company had received from the Govern
ment all last year the rate that YOU paw It would have
added 100000 to its earnings and even then would have
made but $685.
So it Is plain that the gas company is not pratical
corporation In all fairness it be stated that the gas
companys dealings with the people and the Public Uti
ties Commission have been cean and that the figures pre-
sented to the Utilities Commission by the corporation have
not been questioned There is no bitterness between the
people and the gas company.
presume that the only difference between most of 1s
and the gas people is that believe the Government houd
own the lighting plant and the gas people do not
In the present matter going to accept the decision
Of the Public Utilities Commission if it allows an advance
of rates. and then going to work get Congress to
amend its foolish gas price law and THEN go back to the
commission and whether not gas rates to all of u
cannot be lowered

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am, or at least 1 think / am,
desperately in love with my ideal
man. and I am quite sure my love
is reciprocated. But the trouble 10
don't see him often and can't get
10 know him as well a. l would
like to; but 1 have reasons to know
that he cares for me. 1 am miser-
able without him and think OF him
nearly all the time and admire him
very much. But 1 also have as
pirations for the stage or movies
and have been considering going
on the stage, but IL do feel that
1 would have to give up this
friend, which would pain me- very
much. But the stage seems to be
calling me. After all, that might
be Just vanity and love OF applause.
This Is the reason I do not en-
courage this man, but am constant
l. keeping him at bay. and of
course. he does not understand and
is a little aloof. Do you think
really love him? But, OF course,
] do. and a friend OF his has told
me that he loves me very dearly.
l do so want to be worthy OF his
love, for he is a fine fellow and an
officer in the army. I an twenty
four years old. Don't you think
one can be in love and not know it7
n. G.
It would seem to be a great mis-
take in your unsettled state Of
mind for you to come to any deci-
sion that would commit you to the
future. Why not get over the
"stage-struck" phase that all nor
NAL girls go through with. just as
they do the measles and whooping
cough, before contemplating mat
rimony. It's so unfair to man to
marry him and then think that he
was the means Of keeping q Bern
hardt on the stage.

Do Not he Tee Eager.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


Recently 1 met q young man who
asked to call on me, and l con-
sented, but when the time came for
him to call he did not "show up"
The next morning, going to work,
/ saw him, and ! believe he saw
me. but am not sure. However, ne
disappeared somewhere, and two
days later 1 saw him again. He
spoke, but kept walking on. Later
1 found occasion to exchange q
few words with him, but he did not
apologize, which hurt me very
much. Now would 1t be all right
to carry on my friendship with this
young man, and let him call, should
he ask to do so again, or should l
treat him coldly until he has apollo
gized? M V. ="
The trouble in this case seems
to have been that you have shown
too plainly how eager ''ou are for
the young mans friendship. A
little more reserve on your part
might have had the desired effect
but as matters stand do not see
now you can preserye your dignity
by any other course than that Of
treating him with indifference.

who is apt to complain about income tax has, at the
end of 1913 after paying his tax MORE money than he had
before the war money than he would have had if the
war and its big income tax had not come.
Mr. Roper's talk should be published as a pamphlet
and circulated among taxpayers the understanding of

more cheerful
The tax that Mr. Roper is to collect is the largest in
the history of the country the largest that the country will
ever know.
And Mr. Roper has done the work of explaining applying
and collecting the gigantic of money of the
speakers Mr. Cuddhys luncheon pointed out in such
way to give absolutely opportunity pretext for
criticism any in either party Democrat or Repubh

The great victory is, as Commissioner Roper said,
worth fighting for and worth paying for.
And the who pays his tax may rest assured that

The main point to be emphasized is this:

The country needs the money. Mr.. Roper will see to
it that the money PAID Delay is bad citizenship it

Views Of . WOrkInEman's Wife.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Just a word about the NO Beer
and No Work" idea Ny husband is

as well as anybody, but now that
there Is a bone-dry law, we expect to
abide by IL cheerfully. II I had a
husband that wore such a fool button
as No Beer, No Work" 1 would get
a button with NO Work, No Wife"
1 mus say our beer never seemed to
DO us any harm, but on our street we
have the other side Of the argument
all right. When / look at that poor
little woman and her scared children,
l often think about all this talk Of
personal liberty. and 1 wonder what
has become OF her personal liberty or
her children's, or for that matter, the
personal liberty OF any Of US on the
block, when this drunkard goes on
one Of his rampages.
A WORKINGMAN'S WIFE.
The very sane point Of view
taken by my correspondent will no
doubt be shared by the wives of
thousands of workingmen all over
the country. Beer and light wines
have always seemed to me inocu-
Gus when taken in moderation;
when we have a law it is the duty
Of good citizens to abide by it. At
the same time it is the prerogatiVe
Of agOod citizen to work for the
repeal Of any law he considers to

There is no question as to the
