Kansas City Review

Kansas City, Mo, July 8.-CUP)-
Two men and a newspaper founded
by a third, all of whom rose from
humble positions to leadership in
their fields of endeavor. are engaged
in what they say will be a fight to
the finish" over the price Kansans
are to pay for the gas they use in
their homes.
Millions of dollars in consumers
money, millions in utility profits,
other millions in values of utility
security prices held by millions OF
investors. and the political fortunes
OF a governor are the stake In the
struggle.
The two men involved are:
Henry l.. Doherty. who started as
a newsboy and built the billion dol
lar Cities Service corporation and its
subsidiaries, and at 81 after win
ming fight against disease, is ready
to fight to the finish"
Harry Woodring. who began as
ar office boy in a bank. and Is now
democratic governor of republican
Kansas, the third man so honored
in 20 years.
The third man. now dead, is Will
liam Rockhill Nelson, who came
here from Indiana with little
newspaper experience. fought the
city's battles and is now represented
in this latest utility fight by the
newspaper he built, the Kansas City
Star. operated and owned by his
employees.
Gas meters that tick westward
through Kansas play their tune at a
cost of from IS cents to 81 per thou
50 nd cubic feet to the consumer.
tn. tf hn nf
the Henry l.. Doherty company, the
Cities Service company and multiple
subsidiary companies.
The gas is handled from wells in
Kansas, oklahoma or Texas until it
reaches the consumers stove, by
one of the affiliated companies or a
subsidiary.
Thus, a pipe line company may
sell gas to municipal distributing
company at a rate Of 40 cents ana
the distributing company may sell II
to the consuming public at high
er rate. both companies Fronting.
The average domestic consuming
rate is from SIS cents to 81.
All transactions are by some
branch of the company built and
rurtured into a billion dollar institu-
ton by the bearded Doherty.
The question of whether Kansas
gas rates are reasonable or eXorbl-
tant, might represent nothing more
than another utility fight did it not
involve these unusual factors:
An investment of millions,
threat to throw this investment into
receivership, an order to stop the
sale of widely held Cities Service
stock in Kansas
Charges by Doherty that Wood
ring is waging campaign of per-
secution and coercion and is domin-
ated by the "evil influence of the
Kansas City Star.
Decision by Doherty to sue the
Star COR damages.
Action by the Kansas public SER
vice commission to investigate DOH
ertys costs of gas production.
Agreement on all sides that from
now on Its fight to the finish.
Since early this year, the Star has
told its readers day after day that
the Doherty companies We're gouging
the public, that their prices were
fixed when natural gas supply was
scant. its cost of production and dis
trihution high.
The Doherty interests so far have
made little effort to defend the
rates Until Doherty's telegram to
Governor Woodring, their policy was
largely one of silence.
