In commercial life, In society. In private
life and even In the gas buslners tho
greatest of these Is charity and It's a lot
more fun.
If consumers could have heard Thomas
Crawford of Clinton, la., discuss "Attention
to Consumers" before the Wednesday aft
ernoon session of the Iowa District Oas
association they mould never again knock
the gas msn, and If all gas compenlea
conducted their business as Mr. Crawford
would have them, associated charities
could be abolished and every housewife
afford meat and new clothes.
Here are some of the things which tha
gas men discussed doing for consumers:
Mr. Crawford of Clinton auggested:
Free lamps snd shades now snd thep.
Liberality In everything!
Olvlng souvenirs to consumers, such as
stove mats, burner cleaners, memorandum
books, new mantels, etc.
Cleaning rangea and even bath water
heaters.
Courteous treatment at the off'ce.
Belling stoves and supplies at cost.
Mr. Honeywell of Lincoln:
Helping f amillos through hrd times and
furnishing them gas when out of Jobs.
George H. Wrln' r Omaha:
Responding promptly to complaints and
making repairs before the consumers can
get home.
After thla discussion the lights seemed to
burn brighter for consumers than ever
before and each gas man seemed pledged
to do better by the consumers than ever
before. All agreed that the consumers were
a "pretty good clasa of people after all,"
and ahould have the fairest of treatment
from the companies Mr. Crawford paid
special attention to thla In hla paper, while
Campbell Fair of Oskaloosa auggested that
meters In glass cases be kept on display
In the offices of gas companies that con.
sumers might be educated free of expense
In reading gas meters and knowing just
how they worked. ' Mr. Fslr said he alsr
had an Instrument which would prove to
any consumer the quality of the gas,.
-Gmm Baralnar for Health.
During the session J. C. Gray of Des
Moines presented a paper proving to every
gas man present that gas burning means
health. Substitutes for coffee, breakfast
foods, llthla waters and health resorts were
all ehowh to be of no consequence when It
comes to insuring perfect health for the
family as compared to the burning of gas.
The members of the association liked Mr.
Gray's conclusions so well that the sugges
tion waa msde by George McLean of Du
buque that copies be prepared to present
to the physicians and architects, contrac
tors and builders. In the big Iowa district.
Mr. Gray declared burning gas purified
the air and was of great assistance n
ventilation, as it caused the air In rooms
to change much quicker when tho proper
sybtem of ventilation waa used. The
speaker had the figures to show just how
much carbon-dioxide the burning of each
cublo foot of gas produced and that with
all the gas and other fires less than 1 per
cent of the oxygen In the world had been
consumed In the lat 3,900 years.
Delinquent Debtors Scored.
"The Delinquent Account" came In for
discussion following a paper by A. W.
Borden of Hastings, Neb. It was during
this discussion that the gas men condemned
a practice which one or two admitted they
had tried.
"Though it was a bright Idea to put a
$1.75 wheel Into a meter when gas was
soiling for 1 per thousand cubic feet in
order to 'get even' with a consumer who
refused to pay hla bill," said one of the
gas men. "We put this wheel In aud our
deadbeat friend paid 11. 75 for his gas un
til the old bill was paid. Then we took
the meter out and put in one with a tl
wheel. Soma time afterwards we discov
ered that the meter with the $1.75 wheel
had been placed In the residence of another
consumer and he was paying $1.76 for his
gas.- This disgusted us and we have had
to resort to other means of collecting bad
bills no more wrong slxed wheels for us
In order to make up on bad consumers."
This provoked the general condemnation
by the gaa men of a practice which they
do not like and which does not pay In any
way. It also brought out the discussion
of the prepayment meters, and many fa
vored them. Mr. Crawford of Clinton said
one-third of the meters of his company
were the "slot machines" and that when
auch machines were robbed he had usually
been able to collect the money taken from
the party whose home or store was robbed.
Change for Meter Reat.
L V. Kellogg, general manager of the
Sioux City Gaa and Electric Light com
pany, auggested that the term "meter
rent" should be erased from the vocabu
lary of the gaa companies and the term
"minimum charge" substituted. The sug
gestion met with favorable comment, the
gas meen feeling that they should have a
small charge as a minimum.
"To illustrate," said Q. W. Clabaugh of
the Omaha Gas company. "We have a
meter for sixty emergency , light in an
Omaha business house. This machine cost
ug about W2. Sometimes It will not be used
for months, but we have our money In
vested tn it and at a low rate of Interest
we would get $3.60 per anrum on this
amount of money, Then the meter la de
preciating as it stays there In the cellar
month after month and not selling s cublo
lot of gas. On such machines we ought to
have a minimum charge, whether there la
s toot of gas used or not."
Call for More Capital.
"Recent attscks on corporations have ag
gravated the unfortunate general bualneas
depression to such an extent that the gas
companies of the west can hardly get capU
tal sufficient to enlarge and Improve their
plants and keep up with the growing
toans."
This was one of the striking statements
made by Janaen Haines of Dea Moines,
president of the Iowa District Gas associa
tion, In addressing the association, which
opened Its fourth annual aeaalon at the
Rome hotel Wednesday morning by adding
twenty-six new members to the list and
recommending that tho council select
Waterloo. Ia., as Uie next meeting place for
the association. -
President Haines address closed the
morning evasion, which waa attended by
abo.it eighty gaa men from three different
states Iowa. Nebraska snd South Dakota.
"I believe that It ahould be our aim at
all times to bring before the public the

ously maintained, the safety of the public
so well provided for and the accuracy of
our method of measurement and charges
for service so complete In every detail as
In the gas business," said Mr. Haines.
"I might add that In no other country In
the world is the price of gas so low as In
the United States when service rendered
U tsken Into consideration. When we hear
of the cheapness Of gas In Kngland, Scot
land and Germany a comparison of wages
paid for labor reveals the1 fact that a day's
labor In those countries will buy less gas
than in the Vnltfcd 'States.
Committee n 'loveatlgatloa. ' -
The president recommended that atanding
commltteea be appointed, which would have
for tlNelr work the Investigation of the
branches of the gaa business and making
reports to the annual conventions to aid In
the development of the various lines.
Euclid Martin, chairman of the executive
committee of the Commercial club of
Omaha, welcomed the members of the as
sociation in an address In which he told of
the progress of gas manufacturing along
with the cities of the west, beginning with
Illumination from candles, and towns
which are little more than Indian villages.
To this address George McLean of Du
buque responded, ssylng that the gas men
were glad to come to Omaha, as-they were
Interested In the Industries, which were
more highly developed In Omaha than In
any city In the Jurisdiction of the Iowa dis
trict. Mr. McLean spoke of the many
things which Omaha was doing for the
'empire" west of the Mississippi river and
said the National Corn exposition was one
of the. things which Omaha had made pos
sible.
"We have always recognised that the
greatness of Omaha was due to the excel
lence of the cltlsenshlp of the city and the
territory about the city. For many years
we thought no other state in the country
could excel Iowa, but we have found that
you have excelled us In the cltlsenshlp of
Nebraska, and Iowa takes a second place.
But we want more rivals like Nebraska In
the effort to reach the highest cltlsenshlp;
we want more cltlee like Omaha."

In recommending that the next conven

had three Iowa cities to consider, Includ

Waterloo delegation was on the ground
early and almost before delegates regis

tons were pinned on which said "Waterloo
In 1909." This worked snd the recom

council will formally name Waterloo next

convention.

M'GOVERN WILL NOT QUIT
Councilman Determined to Press His
Ordlaauee Walca Mayor
Vetoed.
Councilman McGovern is not content that
his ordinance, providing tor the laying of
water, sewer and gas mains tn streets
scheduled to be paved before the paving Is
laid, shall be consigned te oblivion, and an
nounces that he will re-Introduce the
measure In council meeting next Tuesday
night and try once more to pass It.
The ordinance was first passed a week
ago, but the mayor vetoed It on the ground
that It would liampef work on the streets
and delay paving. McGovern sought in the
meeting of the council Tuesday evening to
override the mayor's veto, but lacked one
vote. He says Hansen, who was lste In
arriving at the council chamber, would have
voted to override the veto had he been
there in time and, banking on the council
man from the First wsrd being prompt next
Tuesday evening. McGovern feels confident
he can again pass the measure.
The vote In the next meeting of the coun
cil will not be on sustaining or overriding
the veto, but will be on an entirely new
