NATURAL GAS RATES REMAIN STATIONARY Not Effected by the Increasing Price of Fuel Oil With the price of fuel oil increasing local consumers of the Southern Counties Gas company are fortunate in that they receive moderately priced natural gas from this utility. Consumers of manufactured gas in California find that their gas bills automatically jump with each increase in the price of fuel oil, according to J. C. Hayden, local manager of the Southern Counties Gas company. This is so because of the sliding rate schedule established some two years ago by the State Railroad Commission. Manufactured gas in California is made principally from fuel oil, a by-product of petroleum. Two years ago when the price of fuel oil was decreasing, the Railroad Commission found it necessary to establish a sliding rate schedule for manufactures a natural gas product, are receiving the highest grade of natural gas and service at moderate rates." concluded Hayden. AN OUTLAW TOWN It is not surprising if the citizens of Herrin, Illinois, considered themselves immune from the penalties of the law after the wholesale murders of June, 1922, were permitted to go unpunished. The most recent outbreak of mob rule in the town is said to have been due to those who wished to see the liquor law enforced. Scandalized citizens took matters in their own hands and cleaned up the sources of the illicit traffic. A man was killed, troops were called out, and the scenes of a year and a half ago were reenacted, although some of the horrors of that earlier affair were lacking. There was no justification for mob action in 1922 nor this year. The law was ample to cover conditions at both times, and the people had full power to seen that the law was enforced in an orderly manner. If the local authorities refused to do their duty, there were county and state powers to call upon. If they all proved reckless to their trust, the voters who put them themselves, and can substitute others in office have nobody o blame but when their terms expire.

The apple, so did a fracas start- This is so because of the sliding rate schedule established some two years ago by the State Railroad Commission. Manufactured gas in California is made principally from fuel oil, a by-product of petroleum. Two years ago when the price of fuel oil was decreasing, the Railroad Commission found it necessary to establish a sliding rate schedule for manufactured gas companies. As each decreases in the price of fuel oil was announced automatically a drop in manufactured gas rates became effective. Today the price of fuel oil is increasing and conversely the Commission's sliding rate schedule for manufactured gas increases the gas rates as the fuel oil jumps in price. During the past month fuel oil prices have increased twice and on each occasion the Railroad Commission has authorized increases in the price of manufactured gas. "The domestic rates for natural gas served locally by the Southern Coun- ties Gas company are in no way related to the price of fuel oil." Hayden declared today in discussing the rate question. "Therefore, the natural gas rates here remain stationary while manufactured gas rates are increasing throughout the entire state. Our company is distributing straight natural gas to more than 120,000 consumers in Southern California and we are receiving greater volumes of high grade natural gas now than ever before." While consumers of manufactur- ed gas in certain parts of California are forced to pay more for artificial gas as the price of fuel oil mounts, and consumers, because the company
