WHAT: OTHERS SAY

To the Editor:
AS gas consumer of this city, have been very
much interested in the showing made by Mr.. George
in the matter of his application for raise of the
gas rate
According to his statements, which seem to have
been verified and thoroughly investigated by the
committee appointed by the city council it is
costing the gas company about $2.61 per thousand
feet to manufacture the gas which they are selling
for $3.50 per thousand feet, and that the pros
poets excellent-f still further cost in the
near future This is not providing for any dividends
for the stock holders, for any sinking fund for
the redemption Of the bonds of the company,
which amount is $25,0O0
The council committee has recommended raise
of the rate to $2.75, which it seems to me,
amounts to a'demand that the company shall con-
tinue business at loss, until such time the
cost of material and labor is less than at present.
There is investment of about $4,000 in this
business, understand. Therefore it is natural to
suppose that the company will prefer to continue,
rather than to close out at much greater loss.
But is this hardly fair to them? Shouldn't we
consumers be willing to pay fair profit such
an investment? Or at least pay the actual cost for
the convenience obtained.

shouldn't every consumer of gas be financially in
terested in either profit loss of this necessary
convenience? Why shouldn't the company be
mutual one? Why shouldn't every consumer be
stockholder with voice in the management"
Why couldn't the company be granted such
rate that certain part of each months payments
could be credited to the consumer payment for
stock of the company? ~~~~--
For instance: Would it not, be good plan to
make the rate $3.50 per thousand feet fifty cents
of which would be placed to the credit of the
consumer as a payment for stock?
In this way, all consumers would become part
of the company, and share the profits, and pay only
actual cost for the gas consumed.
The idea is only crude one, but it is interesting
and open for discussion, should it be received favor
ably by the company. I know of no reason why it
shouldn't be, as I understand that it will be neces
sary for them to issue more stock soon, in order
to make needed improvements. .
The city owns the water utility, and we have to
pay rate that pays for the investment. Why
shouldn't we, gas consumers, own the gas plant,
and stand for the actual cost of gas, share in
any profits which accrue from its operation.
The city is in condition to take the property

Periodically some Wall Street fnancier breaks
into print with fearful exhortation to America
to extend additional financial assistance to, Eoro-
pean countries.
The editor of this paper is not totally devoid Of
a heart, nor is he entirely bereft of horse sense,
but there are times when it is difficult to harmonize
the one with the other.
The fragment of heart that remains in our
shell prompts US to extend our sympathy to those
foreign countries so sadly in need of funds, and
to recommend that they all go earnestly to work
every mothers son Of them-and produce some
thing that will aid in the rapid rehabilitation of
their bleeding countries. That is what we in
America would do under similar circumstances
In the meantime, the limited amount of horse
sense we possess (not being Wall Street finan-
cier) leads to protest against any further loans
to Europe, even if the new loan be for the purpose
of paying the interest on what they already us.

Mud has been flying promiscuously for the past
few weeks. 1t has been striking, and besmirching,
and besmearing until one begins to wonder what
kind of men we put up for public office: Or per-
hans the candidates are all right and the rest Of
us need cleansing.
To anv one with a reasonably clean mind this
policv of mud singing in political campaigns is
nauseatng.
IF man deserves the mud that swats him he is
not the kind of man we should honor with public
choice If he is an honorable man he should not
be subjected to vituperation and abuse
1t requires long years OF correct living to build
up desirable reputation. To destroy it as an
act of political expediency is about the limit to
which an opponent can go.
The indiscriminate assassination of character IS
becoming entirely too prevalent in this country
but at that we are worse than the other nations
of the earth.
Our era of extravagant buying is about over
and its effect is beginning to be felt.
There is a slow but certain tendency toward
decline in prices, with the prospect that another
wear may witness material reduction in the cost
of living. ..,
But anything like sudden drop in all lines
is not to be expected 1t is rather to be avoided,
as it might bring whole commercial fabric
tumbling about our ears in the greatest panic in
history. And sane person wants~a panic
Before there can be any great decline there
must first be an adjustment in the cost of labor,
as we'll as materials, and It is difficult to conceive
the laboring man voluntarily surrendering portion
Of his wage I.
That will be the greatest obstacle of all to sur
mount and only in the exercise of time and infinite
patience can satisfactory results be produced

of Chicago paper: "A Child for Sale. Beautiful
girl, four years of age blue eyes and auburn hair

mate parentage. High cost of living reason for

the import of the foregoing to be that the party
responsible for the advertisement desired to place
the child in some home, but the wording decided
ly infelcitous. The very suggestion that in this
day parent should sell his her child for financial
considerations is abhorrent.
