PRESENT GAS RATE
FOR TWO MONTHS
Company Will File Petition
Asking Price in Keeping
With Cost.

The Washington Gas Light Company
will file with the Public Utilities Com
mission this afternoon a petition ask
ing for a continuation of existing rates
during September and October. or for
higher rates if the Commission should
find they are justified by the present
costs of furnishing gas. The petition
will apply also to the Georgetown COM
pany.
The present rates are: For 1OO,oOo
cubic feet or less. $1.25 per thousand
from 100, 900 to 300. 900 cubic feet, $1.20
per thousand: from 100000 to 5o'uoo
cubic feet, s1.15; from 100000 to Ioo'ooo
cubic feet, $40; from 100000 o TO ooo In
100000. $1.05; in excess OF 1,ooo'oVo
cubic feet, 81 per thousand
Consumers in private homes pay
the Sl.25 rate, the lower rates being
intended for large wholesale users
The existing rates expire automatlca!-
ly September 1. which will make II
necessary for the Public Utilities Com
mission to hold hearings within the
next ten or fifteen days.
Although the company asks at
least for a continuation OF exlstlns
rates. it is expected that the nguress
they will give as to present costs OF
manufacture will tend to show that
the rate should be higher.
The Utilities Commission based the
existing rates on the ground that the
company is entitled to per cent
return on the fair value OF It's prop
erty.
Howard S. Reeside. president OF the
gas company, said today that the
figures to be presented to the COM
mission at this time as to costs OF
manufacture will be based on the
allowed return of Z per cent on
fair value.
The erect which the increased
freight rates will shave on the cost
be discussed. iHfall probability, at
the hearings on the gas rates.
The gas company uses approx
mately $4,000 tons of coal annually
and it is roughly estimated that the
price of the coal will be about 80
freight rates.
Small Advance in OIL.
The high price of oil used in the
manufacture of gas, which was al
most entirely responsible for the in
creased gas rates three months ago,
has advanced only one-fourth of q
cent per gallon since the present rates
We're fixed in May.
The oil used by the local compa ~ in
June cost .12k cents a gallon. ere
as the supply, for July and A gust
cost 12N cents a gallon. The gas
company, under present conditions.
cannot find out until the 25th day OF
the month what the oil for the next
month will cost. -.-s.-..
Whether the, commission will con-
tinue the existing rates for sixty days
or increase them pfobably will de-
pend largely on whether they heed
s.the company's request for a 4 per
lEent instead of per cent return.
y pfciaIs of the gas company indi-
SJDday that II Is their intention
70 lay before the commission all the
facts tineysfan gather as to the costs
of operation andrlet the commission
decide whether it believes the pres
efitsrates will be fair for sixty days
Tonker.or whether they should be in

 Mexico.

Detroit. July 2S.-With the body found in trunk in New York last Friday positively identified as that of Mrs. Euene LeRoy, police here to- night were awaiting further reports from various cities where men be- lieved to be the husband of the slain woman have been taken into custody.
 Authorities at Satillo. Mexico, have been. asked to confirm reports that a man known as Oscar J. Fernandez had been located there. According to the Detective Bureau this report held a possibility that the man wanted has been apprehended, their previous in- vestigations having shown that Flu gene LeRoy,r o. ]. Wood" and 70. J. Fernandez" were names used by the husband of the dead woman
 A description of the Fernandez re- ported at Satillo had not been receiv- ed here late tonight. Officers, it was said, may be sent to Lawrence, Kan, in an effort to identify a man said to answer LeRoy's description.
 Officials said the refusal of Allan A. Tatum to accompany local officers here from Birmingham will in no way hamper their investigation.

 Winnipeg, Man, July 31.--The Arc tic region, according to a unique the ory tentatively advanced by ViI- hjalmur Stefansson, noted explorer, Is the original home of the bluegrass that has made Kentucky famous and the bluegrass region of the southern commonwealth may have evolved from seed first cropped from an ice berg drifting down from the North In 4he glacial epoch.
 Afr Stefanssnn while on visit to his mother in Winnipeg, deplored the general ignorance regarding the Far North and said school ceo9raphies and text books which gave children false ideas Of the region should be rewrit- ten.
 -There are $40 species of Towering plants in Arctic Canada" said Mir. Stafansson, and three times as many n0n-flowering species.

TO THE PEOPLE OF POLK COUNTY

I am a candidate for a second term as State Senator from the Thirty third dlstricI comprised of Polk-Scott counties, ana With the knowledge and experience of Legislative work during my first term, now feel that am better qualified to represent the best ln- terests of the people of the district
 EDUCATION. My record in the Senate will show that I have always voted the edu- cational interests of our state. we must not overlook educating the children. We must raise our standard of education in this state We must provide better buildings, better equipment. and more pay for our teachers, or else our school system will not be what it should be. The people of each school dls- trict should be able to vote whatever school tax they need to run their schools. Many ot our boys and girls can obtain employment elsewhere that will pay them more than they can get teaching school. This Is important
 GOOD ROADS. Everybody favors good roads. We need law that will provide for drag system in our state. Each township and road district should be able to vote what ever road tax it needs to keep up it's roads. I believe the constitution should be amended so as to permit the people in each township to vote the amount of road tax it needs for the up-keep of their roads.
 BUDGET SYSTEM. 1 favor a budget system for our state and county. If we had this, money would not be spent so freely. Let the Budget Committee meet and allot each department of the state and county government just what money it needs to run that department, and tell them they can't get any more If we had budget system the school directors of each township could see just what money they needed to operate the school in their district for the next year, and then vote that amount of tax. The bud- get system pulled Illinois millions of dollars out of debt

I have always been for Woman Suffrage, and recently supported the ratification of the amendment to the constl- tuition to give women equal suffrage. be- lieve if will be the salvation of our state along educational lines for the men will pIadlv turn the greater part of this work over to the women where it rightly belongs, for they have the education of the child at heart. States where the women vote, 1t has been proven that they take the educational interests in hand.
 OUR PENITENTIARY. Something must be done with our pardoning system. We need a pardoning board that will carefully consider every application for pardon, in- stead of leaving it like it is. We can't afford to encourage murders and send convict to the penitentiary and have him met at the gate with full and complete pardon. The people of Arkansas demand that something be done to better this condition.
 SOLDIERS BONUS. Many of the states in the Union are giving the men that were in service bonus of $250 to $1,000. Some of the states are giving the boys sixty to 160 acres of state land. Arkansas should show its appreciation along this line and do something for those who so nobly represent ed their country in time of war
 OIL IN ARKANSAS. Arkansas will soon be one of the largest oil fields in the country. The people of Arkansas need geological re- port printed. It is said that a recent Gov ernment report of Arkansas shows that a strong trace of oil will be found in South Arkansas, and then jumps up to our part of the state The time will come when many of the farmers of Polk county will have oil wells on their farms
 IN CONCLUSION. l will not be able to see all the voters before the election, as l have to get over two counties, but your SUD- port will be appreciated just the same, and l assure you that since having served one term. am better qualified to represent the Heople of the entire district, and if reelected for second term, 1 will put my whole soul and heart into my work and do my best to represent the people of the entire district to their interests.
