COM|u|SS|ON 0RDEns BETTER GAS SERVICE
 FOR TEMPE USERS

Better gas and more Of it is assured for Tempe soon, or else the Southside Gas x Electric company will be minus it's certificate for doing business there, according to an order just handed down by the state corporation commission.
 The order provides That, on or be- fore ten days from date, (F'ebruary 3. the SouthSide Gas 6 Electric com pany shall commence the reconstruc- ton of its gas distributing system and any other work or action necessary to place said company in d position to furnish an adequate and satisfactory supply of gas to it's customers in Tempe"
 In it's findings the commission states that the e >lpany was allowed to raise its gas and electric rates p per cent some time ago, at which time the com mission took occasion to comment upon the abnormal loss of gas between the manufacturing point in Mesa and the delivery point at Tempe, the company replying at the time that it had the material for repair work and that the losses would be checked soon.
 The citizens of Tempe now claim that the quality and quantity of the gas IS as poor as ever, or worse. and the com mission takes the stand that an emerg ency exists which calls for immediate action.
 Failure to acquiesce in the order of the commission, according to yester- days announcement, will constitute grounds for cancelling the certificate of public convenience and necessity un- der which the company operates at Tempe.

"favurites" Of War Department officials
have realised from 100 to 500 per cent
profit on resale Of surplus Army SUD

name the guilty parties, but Chairman
Kahn Of the military affairs committee
announced that tho charges will be
brought to tho attention Of tho special
committee Investigating war expendi-
lures
Il want to be distinctly understood. :"
Representative Madden said, "as saying
that the men In charge of the sale Of
war surplus supplies are in combina-
tion with men on the outside to whom
an advantage is given and that in no
case except an exceptional one is any
body advised that war supplies are de-
olared a surplus except these men who
are given the inside. They never make
Ia declaration of surplus until they find
that the men to whom they sell them
have found q market The result Is
that these men who are in the business
of selling war surplus supplies on the
market are making millions OF dollars"

men, Representative Fields, democrat.
