GAS RATE RAISES
LAID TO WHIMS Of
STANDARD OIL CO.
Attorney General Attacks Con-
tract Consolidated Co. Made
Last December.
80 CENT BOOST ASKED.
Cost of Production Put at
$1.47 in Argument for In
crease to $50.
30 CENT BOOST ASKED.

Argument was heard before Judge
Learned Hand in the United States
District Court to-day on the applica-
ton Of the Consolidated Gas Company
to raise its rate to $3.50 per thousand
cubic feet, as supplementary to his
recent decision that the old 80 cent
rate was unconstitutional. The rate
was then increased TO &1.20.
william l. Ransom for the company
asserted that the present cost TO the
company OF making gas is $l-H and
said the increase was due 10 the cost
OF gas oil under the new contract
made Dec. IS last.
William Hayward for the PrDlic
Service Commission asserted that the
1873 cents a gallon contract for gas
oil closed by the company with the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
set the price unduly high. He as
serted that gas-oil of excellent quail
ity could be bought to-day in Okla
homa at 2 cents a gallon as against
the 8 cents a gallon base price charged
by the Standard Oil.
But" he said, "the Standard Oil
controls the pipe lines from the oil
fields. Who else has pipe lines to
bring oil to the seaboard at an ex-
pense of cents a gallOn?"
Mr Hayward cited figures to show
that 70 per cent. OF a ton Of coke is
left after the gas has been extracted,
and that at the present rate-S12 a
ton-coke was selling for more than
it cost TO buy the coal.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien said
that there is a falling coal market
everywhere, and that this condition
was recognized by coal authorities.
He said he failed to understand why
the Consolidated Gas Company felt
justified in paying 1881 cents a gall
lon for Oil in the light Of the big de-
crease in its cost.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Don
nelly said that in March, 1920, oil was
$3.50 a barrel. To-day, he said, Oil
at t1.75 asbarrel, is lower than at any
time since 1915.
John Holly Clark jr,, representing
the Attorney Generals ONCE, in com
menting upon the increase asked for
by the gas company, said:
"There can be only two explanations
for this remarkable procedure.
Either the contract is not made in
good faith but for the purposes OF
this case with the expectation that
when the light OF judicial scrutiny is
turned away the price will be ad-
justed and the contract modified, as
similar contracts were modified In 1914
and 1919. or the Standard Oil Company
Is in a position to maintain it's price
regardless OF market conditions and
that the complainant has so conducted
itself by relying so exclusively on
water gas manufacture that It is now
forced to pay whatever the Standard
sees Mt to charge.
1.-The first alternative may or may
not be true, but it seems that the
second is true to such an extent that
the regulation OF the rates for gas in
this city now depends not on the
Legislature nor the Public Service
Commission nor on the courts but on
the whim Of the Standard Oil Com
pany."
Decision was reserved.

Behind these advances. actual and
prospective, is a story of arbitrary
Government and business methods
that, finds few parallels 1t involves
the strangulation Of competition. with
what approximates Government sane
tion and seemingly total disregard Of
public interest and opinion.
Shortly after the Sugar EquIlisa-
ton Board was diSbanded by the
Government, the price of sugar be-
gan 20 soar. From a price Of 7.26
cents a pound 1t rose TO around 26
cents a pound. 1t was then nearly
everywhere thought that the price
would continue to rise. Domestic
wholesalers and refiners loaded up
with huge stocks at high prices,
and contracted for additional stocks
for future delivery at from 20 to e
osn4S a pound Beet sugar and other
American growers practically doubled
their crop because OF the outlook.
Cutan planters refused to part with
'Ehetr crop because they became con-
thrmed In the opinion that sugar
would Tdse 70 35 and perhaps 20 cents
a pound. Large New York banks
made huge loans to Cuban and other
planters on the basis OF prices then
prevailing.
Meanwhile & was extremely DIM
cult for consumers to obtain sugar
m spite OF the record breaking prices
in force. But the expectations OF big
sugar interests, OF bankers and re-
Hnera, were upset and the sugar
bubble collapsed. The importation Of
foreign sugar, principally from Java
and South America, broke the market
and prices sank to approximately a
preIwar level with tremendous losses
to the interests who refused to part
with their holdings at the high prices.
But sugar interests and planters
have taken a new grip on their cour-
age and have started another drive
against the pockets of consumers for
the purpose OF recouping their losses.
The method of procedure as planned
is this:

 It is said that wise man may change his mind, but fool never; and you can't make a wise man mad. It seems there are very few wise ones in this world, for most of us get mad about nothing and even sometimes when we only imagine it is coming our way. A word to the wise is suf- fieient, but with us it takes hard knocking and lots of talking. That's the difference.
