No Increase in Gas Rates on
Retaliation Hearings

The washington and Georgetown Gas Light Companies
not going get higher rates for gas through hearings before
the Public Utilities Commission for higher Vauaons OF their
properties
The gas companies already prospecting and receiving good
returns upon valuations heretofore determined by the COM
mission sought their valuations through hearings
Feeling they would obtain much higher valuations
they expected be allowed to charge hgner rates WnCn
would not be allowed under present valuations.
On just grounds the request for hearings has been
denied The first is that the Utilities Commission - without
funds make proper investigation of valuation claims The
second that Congress has created new commission and
that it would not be wise for the existing body enter upon
extensive work which should be handled BY the new
commission likely begin functonng for almost year.
The most significant should not the attention
local public utilities which have had such soft in
valuation hearings past The commission without
sufficient funds to combat valuation claims make its
investigations Congress did not give the commission adequate
funds and the local corporations fought the bill passed W the
Senate requiring corporations aot the commission funds
for valuation Investigations.
This bill was buried the House, which could have passed
&C. but prevented by influences that always favor corpora
tions against the public
The provisions of bill not in the least unfair to pub

corporation seeking revaluation shall set aside sufficient
funds for the commission to make full investigation These
funds would be charged TO expenditures The public would

Up in the steep rocky woods above
the Potomac watch now for Indian
pipes, or as they are sometimes more
POLITICALLY called, ghost pipes. Ghostly
indeed they are, rising so still and
white from the graves Of dead leaves,
where they crumble to a fine mold.
An unearthly translucency pervades
them. One can almost see through
their stems, as through the body Of a
wrath
For Indian pipes are saprophytes;
they live upon decayinc vegetation,
and. like most saprophytes and para
sites, they have modified greItly.
Actually they are akin to the shin
leaf, the pretty little pipsissewa and
the heath family. But depending upon
dying. plants as they do, they have
given up the task of making their
own food with the aid Of chlorophyll,
the green coloring matter of most
leaves. and 1t Is this lack of chloro-
phyll that makes them look so super
natural.
In other ways these ghoulish little
flowers have changed. Their leaves
have atrophied till they are reduced
TO merely white, habby scales upon
the stems; their roots are almost none,
and even the flowers have taken on a
wan and f1eshy white appearance.

stalk be lifted erect and the fine
seeds scattered in an Autumn wind.
