Some senators predict this vote will

URGES PROPORTIONAL CHARGE.
". r. johnson Suggests New System
in Gas Service Rate.

Editor. The State Journal:
= L should like to suggest to the
judges Of the Kansas court Of indus
trial relations that in fixing the new
gas meter or service charge, they
make the charge proportional to the
amount of gas used
This would take the burden from
the poorer people and put It on the
heavier consumers of gas With a
fixed charge. the poorer people pay
sometimes loo per cent of their charge
for the gas they actually use, as A
service charge If the service charge
were fixed as a percentage of the gas
used, the man who uses SO worth of
gas would pay a higher service charge
than the widow who uses so cents
worth
A service charge based on this pro-
portion would distribute the charge
evenly among those who are able to
bear il. w. r. JOHNSON.
