The Logan Gas Co. has asked- the Ohio Public Utilities Commission for an increase in rates that will net the cqmpany in addition to their present profit, more than $800,000 annually. While the company has asked for the present increase, the company has' one application now before the com­ mission that was filed last-'February. Some idea of the increases asked for can be gained from the following aased on. quantities of 1000, 2000 and 6000 cubic feet of gas m May 1925, July 1925, and the last rate effective March, 1926.

The matter promises to 1reach the Courts. Tho Logan Company and the Ohio Fuel and Ohio Fuel Gas Co. are all controlled from the. same financial source. The Ohio Fuel Companies d|e now involved in litigation with the city of Columbus over increased rates, The charge is made that the Ohio Public Utilities Commission is more than fair to the gas and other utility interests in the state. The commission is riot'composed of experts but poli­ ticians, the leader of which is George Poor, of the Cox gang in Cincinnati, Gov. Donahey made a determined effort to clean house last spring but the Ohio Senate turned down his ap pointmehts under 1pressure of the lobby interests that controled the Sen­ ate. It was following this turn down at the cldse of the session that Poor gave his famous liquor party in the Deshler hotel to the faithful members of the Senate. The Greene County Senator was an honored guest at that liquor party, which was exposed in these columns last spring. Gov. Dona­ hey han all the information concerning that event with the names of all who were there. Tho whole thing will be aired dpr ing the coming primary next summer for Mrs. Snow, of Mt. Vernon, the only woman candidate for im’ ination for governor on the Repul inn side has already started her fight on the Public Utilities Commission, In her announcement she stales that she will clean house if nominated and elected regardloss of tho fact that two^of the three members row serving are Re­ publicans. Senator Marshall owes his election to the lobby interests. Ho has been long on preaching prohibition and purity but he overplayed his hand in practicing pollution. Every effort has been made to smother the event but Gov. Donahey took no chances and had detectives -trailing tho crowd, Pi'ob ably Senator Marshall would like to have his Greene county friends teat of how one man was put out of th* gathering, when he (the Senator'i •shouted “shut the door”.

In the settlement of an ei - tate 18 shares of The Abel Magnesia Co. stock was offered for sale follow­ ing another sale a t the court house door. There were few persons who knew that thp stock was being offered at public outcry, naturally meant there were few bidders. The 18 shares of preferred stock was started at $5 a share and only two bidders in action when one dropped out at the $8 mark. Mr, Wead, ‘having no knowledge of the salo until this time, having gone out to attend another sale, thought the stock was being given away and stattedt to bid. He was the lucky bid­ der at $18 mshore, face valuo of $100 each. To this was added four shares of eomtnon of no par Value. Am the sale wasn’t on Friday the 13th. ■ When the nows reached this plact»< where probably 90 per cent of .the company stock is owned and tho head­ quarters of the company, there was quite a stir. Officers and directors as well as stockholders lmd no knowledge of the proposed sate. I t had been ad­ vertised in a medium on a want page where buyers of securities seldom have occasion to look for their kind of bar­ gains. * We Are informed that Mr*. Wead has been offered $50 a share for his bargain but refuses to sell. The officers and directors in speaking of the sale are much gratified that Mr. Weed desires to hold his Ihvestment and they welcome him into the fam­ ily of stockholders, I t is safe to predict that the next industrial security stock that goes to sale from this community will be ad­ vertised where it is most likely to be read, A practical lesson on th* selection of the proper medium to reach the buying power, ’ f4v Something Special in the 'Candy line every Saturday, Th* M trvffl# Hftwy
