FINANCIAL sPEEDERs.

The speeder at the wheel of an automobile is
considered menace to society, and is justly curoed
by law. '~
The financial speeder is even greater menace
and yet he appears to be immune.
The .dastardly bomb outrage in New York is I'M
doubtedly due mainly to bitterness against these
financial speeders-a small percentage OF the popu-
lation who have accumulated most OF the wealth
of the country within a comparatively few years.
leaving the remainder to be divided among hun
dred million people. .-.ss =: -.@--.v
' These men have accumulated much of the
wealth of the country that they could produce
disastrous panic and plunge the country into the
most appalling state of confusion merely by the
wave Of hand or the stroke Of a pen. -. -.
The fact that they refrain from such action
does not lesson the danger in the least. -,
Their great wealth is drawn from all classes of
people In every walk Of life; in every article
we buy, pay tribute to some one or other OF
these speeders .
Such tremendous fortunes are dangerous in

create too great gulf between the elements

HOME BREW is RAW STUFF.
Makers DO Not Understand Distillation-
Should Ripen for Years.

BOSTON, Dec. 2S-Herman c. Lyth-
gOe. chief of the division of food and drugs
of the state department of public health,
announced yesterday that during the year
ending Nov. 30 his department has exam
ined 1,429 samples of moOnshine liquor
submitted by the police. The average al
coholic strength found in these samples
was 29. 40 as compared with 1884 in 1918.
The quality of the various kinds of
"home-brew" submitted has not improved
during the year.
ITS the raw stuff" said Mr.. Lythgoe,
and plainly the work of those unfamiliar
with the art of dstillation. The only way
the liquor now being put out can be i'm
proved Is to let il ripen for four or five
years. 1t is doubtful, however. if this
viii ever be done. because the consumer
won't wait that long
Mr.. Lythgoe who is one of the foremost
chemists in the country. said that the pies
ent output could be improved if the makers
knew anything about blending, but this
appears to be an unknown science to
them. All in all, he thinks the efforts of
the home brewers pretty crude.

GAS RAISE PLEA
AROUSES CITIZENS
Vigorous Opposition to Pro-
posed Increase Expected
From Associations.

Vigorous opposition is expected from
the citizens associations to the plea
of the Washington and Georgetown
gas light companies for a rates of
s1.44 per thousand cubic feet for gas
furnished private households after
November 1.
i In a petition filed with the Public
Utilities Commission yesterday after
noon the Washington company, on be-
half of itself and the Georgetown
company, contends that it is entitled
under present conditions to a return
of s per cent on the value of it's prop
erty. In order to earn this rate of re-
turn the price of gas to users of less
than 100000 cubic feet month would
have to be s1.44 per thousand. accord
ing to the petition.
[ The commission announced that a
public hearing on the application will
be held in the boardroom of the Dis
trict building at 10 o'clock Monday,
October IS.
Fight Per Cent Plea.
The citizens will direct their fight
againt the plea of the company for a
return of per cent on fair value.
AT the meeting of the Federation of
Citizens Associations Saturday night
/ William Nick. Clayton told his fellow
delegates the most important utility
iquestion the federation would have to
face this winter would be the conten-
ton of public service companies for
an per cent return on fair value.
\ Mr.. Reside presents figures in his
petition to show that even if the COM
/ pany is to earn a 6 per cent return
/ the price of gas to householders will
I have to be $1.35 per thousand. To
earn Z per cent return, Mr.. Reside
| says the rate will have to be $1.4O per
L thousand.
\ The present rate of $1.25 per thou
sand cubic feet expires with the pres
ent month. SO that the commission
must act on the new petition before
November /. At present there is a
sliding scale of rates for large users
which decreases the price as con-
4 sumption increases. The company
asks a corresponding increase in this
scale.
Rate Likely to Go Up.
Although it was regarded as un-
likely az the District building today
that the commission would advance
the rate for small users from S1.25 to
$1.44, the rate may go to $3.50 to
$1.35.
In summing up his appeal for an
8 per cent return, Mr.. Reside tells
| the commission:
| IAN Inadequate rate of return based
upon probable sudden decreases in
cost of material will result sooner or
later in inefficient and unsatisfactory
service to the public and impose great
difficulties in obtaining additional
ca pital for needed extensions"

ice on the Utilities Commission in the
