HOWELL PROPOSES
NEW GAS SCHEDULE
60-Cent Net Rate on Mini.
mum of 500 Cubic Feet or
Less Is Provided.

Another alternative schedule of gas
rates to be considered by Congress in
connection with pending legislation to
authorize merger of the Washington
and Georgetown Gas Light Companies
has been drafted by Senator Howell, Re-
publican of Nebraska, who has been
making study of the gas merger bill.
Senator Howell's latest amendment,
which will be printed and placed on
file as one Of several propositions to be
weighted when the gas merger bill is
taken up in the Senate, provides for this
following scale Of rates beyond which
the company could not go If 1t accepted
the privilege of merging:
For the flrst 500 cubic feet or less
(per meter per month"; so cents net
rate and 10 cents gross rate; for the
next 1000 cubic feet, 80 cents net, 81
gross; for the next 1000 cubic feet. 85
cents net, 95 cents gross, and for all
over $500 cubic feet, rs cents net 85
cents gross. The net rates would ap-
ply to those who pay their bills within
the discount period and the gross rates
on bills paid after that time.
Senator Howell'S previous proposal.
drafted last week, provided as follows:
For the first 2,500 cubic feet, 85 cents
net and 95 cents gross; for all over
that amount, rs cents net and IS cents
gross, and a minimum charge per
month of so cents. His new amend
ment, therefore. provides sliding scale
of rates on gas below $500 cubic feet,
with the same rates as in his previous
amendment for all gas used above that
amount.
The new amendment, however would
require the company to agree to abide
by certain additional restrictions in the
matter of valuation and rate of return
If 1t accepted these terms of merger. 1t
states that If the company avails itself
OF the privilege of this plan it would
thereby agree: l. That in any valuation
for rate-making purposes nothing shall
be included on account of franchise or
going value; 2, that the return on value
for rate-maktng purposes shall not eX-
ceed 712 per cent and that the rates for
gas after July 81 would not exceed the
schedule outlined in the latest amend
ment.
The new amendment retains the pro-
vision for a further reduction II the
thermal value of the gas drops below
6OC British thermal units, and also re-
tainS the charge for reconnecting service
within six months after it has been dis
connected for the same customer at the
same premises.
The new amendment contains some
other variations from the prior one.

BRYANT ST. BILL
RESULTS IN CLASH
Simmons Charge of Attempt
to Saddle Cost on Public
Met by ZihIman.

Chairman Zihlman of the House Dis
trict legislative committee and Chair
man Simmons of the subcommittee, Dis
trict appropriations, clashed vigorously
in the House this afternoon when Rep
resentative Simmons objected to pas
sage of the Senate bill for elimination
of the Bryant street grade crossing uiI-
der unanimous consent.
Representative Simmons, in explain
ing his objection, said that this legiSla-
ton was changed so as to relieve a
Maryland community which would be
beneficiary from any costs and saddle
the entire expenses on the District tax
payers. He said that this improvement
is on the program of the District high
way department to be carried out within
three years
Representative zihlman protested
with heat that the improvement is
recommended by the District Commits
Sioners and the Budget Bureau and
that the plans were altered at the direc-
ton of the District Commissioners, Mr.
Zihlman said that within a relatively
short period four deaths have occurred
at this grade crossing and that Mr.
Simmons had told him that he cut it
out of the District appropriation bill in
| order to substitute the widening of H
street in the business section.
During the alteration, Representative
| Simmons warned the District legislative
committee members that as long as they
continued to pass authorizations with
out consulting the proper officials and
the condition of District finances they
must expect to have their measures met
| by his objections.

Curb on Prescriptions Is
Insulting to Doctors.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, June 24.-Declaring that
the restriction placed by the Volstead
act on the prescription of alcohol by
physicians is "a reproaeh to our pro-
fession," DR.. william Gerry Morgan of
Washington. incoming president of the
American Medical Association, in his
presidential address today, asked to
have "these humiliating provisions
wholly done away with" and the matter
left entirely to the judgment of the in
dividual practitioner.
Activities of the "bootlegger doctor" :"
he Said can be guarded against by ap-
propriate provisions without casting a
stigma on the entire profession.
He said that recent QUESTIONABLE
showed that a majority of the members
of the American Medical Association
who answered 1t believe whisky is "nec-
essary" in the treatment of disease.
Congress, he declared, broke faith with
the. medical profession in enacting the
Volstead act.
"The American Medical Association
can take no part in the prohibition con-
troversy so Strenuously and, perhaps,
acrimoniousiy under discussion by the
American people," DR.. Morgan declared.
For physicians, as well as laymen, have
varying opinions on the subject; and
there are some physicians who even
doubt the therapeutic value of whisky.
''As your preSident,I do not propose to
take sides in this acute controversy, but
have something to say which repre-
sents my conviction that it is our
bounden duty to urge strenuously upon
Congress that there be radical change
in these parts of the Vo!stead act which
forbid the practitioner from following
his trained Judgment in his ministry to
the patient. Such a prohibition, in my
Judgment, is reproach to our profess
sion.
ITO be able to say this with emphasis,
I am not obliged to give my personal
views as to the therapeutic value of al
cohol.
I'VE have in our keeping the honor Of
cur profession and when a substantial
number of that profession does believe
in the use Of alcohol and their right to
its use is denied by Congress, We are
summoned to decisive action.

Conferees' Effort for Com
promise Called Fair in
Debate Preceding Vote.
BINGHAM RESOLUTION
is APPROVED, 81 TO 5
Robinson, Arkansas, Consents to
Plan if Others Regard 1t as
Way to End Dispute.

BY decisive vote of 54 to 5 the Sen
ate this afternoon adopted the Bingham
resolution declaring that $9,000,0O is
not sufficient Federal contribution for
District expenses.
The roll call vote came shortly before
the conferees were scheduled to reopen
negotiations and was in effect a vote
of confidence in the Senate conferees
who take the position that the House
should be willing to meet the Senate on
some compromise between the SO, ,000, 900
and the $12,O0O,OOO figure.
The record vote was preceded by a
general debate in which Senator Bing-
ham Of Connecticut, Senator Phipps of
Colorado, Senator Capper of Kansas
and Senator Glass of Virginia, all Wig
orously defended as fair and reason
able position of the Senate conferees
in seeking a compromise. Minority
Leader Robinson of Arkansas, while re-
garding such a resolution as a bad
precedent, said that in view of the cir
cumstances that have developed in the
pending case, he would not object to
this resolution If Senator Bingham re-
garded this as the only way to bring
about conference with the House CAL
culated to result in a settlement of the
disagreement.

ator Howell, Republican, of Nebraska.
who sought tn show that washington
has light tax burden in comparison
issue with him on this argument and
answered it.
The overwhelming vote in support of
the Senate conferees was taken at the
request of Senator Bingham as the
answer to the claim advanced in the
House yesterday by Representative
Champion, Republican of Michigan,
that there had been no record vote of
the Senate's opinion on the controversy.
The resolution read as follows:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of the
Senate that SO ,00O, 900 is not a Sufficient
contribution to be made by the Federal
Government TO the expenses of the Dis
trict of Columbia"
