DOLLAR GAS HERE
New Rate To Go Into Effect in
Topeka March 25.
Order of Judge Booth Is Re-
ceiyed in Kansas.
CONSUMER The SAME OLD GOAT
He Must Even Stand for Gas
Wasted in Transit.
Higher Price VIII Decrease
+ Consumption Here.
CONSUMER The SAME OLD GOAT

Topekans may pay 81 or more per
thousand cubic feet for gas after
March 25 as the result of the order
made by Judge Wilbur F. Booth at
Minneapolis permitting the Kansas
Natural to advance rates on distrib-
uting companies to 35 cents.
The order was received by the clerk
of the federal court here this morn
ing. L. G. Treleaven, of the local dis
triouttng company, said he had re-
ceived no official notice of the increase
but that il the order had been made
it would necessarily mean an increase
to the consumer.
Il am not in position to say just
what the increase will be-" said Mr..
Treleaven. But will say that If we
are compelled to pay 35 cents we could
not afford to sell at less than 81 a
thousand
Pay for Waste Gas.
At present the local company is pay
ing 28 cents a thousand for gas. In
explaining why the increase in the
charge to consumers will be nearly
twice as great as the increase in
charge to the distributing companies,
Mr.. Treleaven pointed out that the dis
tributing company would also have to
pay the increase on "unaccounted for
gas and that it would also greatly de-
crease the consumption.
OudCCOuHIeQ LOT gas II was e&-
planned, is that which is wasted from
the time it passes into the distributing
company's mains until sold. Treleaven
said he could not sell nearly as much
gas at 81 as for 80 cents. 1t would
place it beyond the reach of many
persons, he said.
The order filed this morning re-
stores the schedule of rates known as
the "35-cent zone rate" established d
July IA. 1919. but temporarily sus-
pended by the order of August o,
known as the ascent zone rate"
Higher in Topeka.
BY this latest order zone 3. which
comprises the northern trunk and
branches of the Kansas Natural. and
includes Kansas City, Kan, Topeka,
Fort Scott, Leavenworth, and a dozen
other northeastern cities, the rate is
advanced to So cents to the distribut-
ing companies Zone !, comprising
the field lines and towns of Independ-
ence, Coffeyville, Parsons and Tyro,
Kan, have a 20-cent rate. Zone 2,
comprising the southern trunk and
applying to several Missouri towns,
has a 33-cent rate.
Notices to be sent to the various
distributing companies advising them
of the increase are being prepared by
John NJ Landon. receiver for the
Kansas Natural, with the approval OF
Judge Booth.

KEEP TAX LEVY DOWN
State May Absorb Big Legislative Ex-
pense in Present Revenue.

Legislative expenses amounting to
100000 to S35O.0O0 may be absorbed
by the state without an increase in the
state tax levy this year. according to
Samuel T. Howe, chairman of the
state tax commission. 1t is believed
today that total expenses thru legisla-
tive appropriations of the special ses-
sion will amount to $35O,O00 and may
reach 100000.
Increased appropriations have been
approved lately by the ways and means
committee and add to the budget
which had already approached the
100000 mark. Among the new items
recommended by the financial COM
mittees are: $25,0OO for the state
board of health for mobilization of
fighting forces against the flu; $35,000
for state highway commission, $12, 900
for new barns at Hutchinson state
fair, $4,000 for state bank commits
sioner's office and a number of mis-
cellaneouS items.
