highly on their progress after hav-

He pointed out the fact that the
Chickasha company is placed in a
position of which it might well be
proud that is Company A the first
company in the regiment.
"The purpose of organizing tho
Oklahoma National guard is prima-
rily for service within the state and
tl;e nation" declared Major Barrett.
"There are first line troops now in
service on the border. It is possible
that the Oklahoma National guard
will be called upon to go to the bor-j
der and relieve those troops that
they may he sent over seas where
they are so badly needed. It is
within the power of the United
States government to draft any of its
(itizens for service not only in the
United States but anywhere in the
world. That law has been tested1
out in the highest court in the land

RAISE IN
GAS RATE
ALLOWED
Corporation Commission Pe:mts Local
Company to Boost Price to $1.85;
Bate Is Effective June 1
In an order Just issued by the Cor-
poration commission the Chickasha
Gas and Electric company is author-
ized to raise the gas rates in this
city to $1.8.") per 1000 cubic feet the
rate to be effective on and after
June 1. This order was issued fol-
lowing a petition filed by the local
company with the corporation com-
mission asking that a raise in the
rate be permitted. The hearing was
held in Chickasha on May 20.
The commission stated in its opin-
ion and order that it found from
the testimony and' data submitted
by the company that a raise was
justified. Paragraphs from tho rul-
ing of the commission follow:
"The petition states that the gas
receipts from the operation for the
year IT 1 6 were $218-16.61; operating
expenses for tho same year $16-
297.18. During the year 1 01 7 the re-
ceipts from operation amounted to
$23lo2.r2 and operating expenses
to $21617.11. There was a net op-
erating income of $1"i2j.21 without
a charge for depreciation or interest.
With such charges allowed the re-
sult shows a material deficit.
"It is evident from tha foregoing
and tho commission finds that the
applicant needs the Increase prayed
for. -It is the duty of the corpora-
tion commission to protect the pub-
lic against a failure of service of any
public utility and such protection
involves not only the prevention of
extortionate charges til

rates sufficient to safeguard the ex- ing up cannot be described" said

is no justification for continuing in

than its cost of production."

That the morale of tho allied ar-

the beginning of the war due to the
