I'VE believe that there should be a

amount to be charged for electric cur
rent and all such matters of public
regulation, and after dealing equitably
with both the rights of the corporations
and the rights of the people, regulations
could be promulgated which would re-

courts.
''It would seem that the committees

and the greatest of self-denial on the
part of these gentlemen. the fact re-
mains that they have not the time to
give these questions the attention they
demand; but Congress readily can
create such a commission by appropri-
ate legislation.
''If the commission were created,
composed of high-class engineers and
accountants, who could deal finally
with such matters, a conclusion would
be reached which would do substantial
justice TO all parties-the public and

Kansas City Points Way,
Says Munsey's Magazine

IF you Should call on Mayor Brown.

group of merchants, doctors, lawyers.

AIRS OF the community" says Munsey' 9
Magazine editorially
Here Is a precedent which helps to
divorce politics from the business of
running city. 1t happens because a
clear-headed and practical man Is IN
the mayors chair. When Mr.. Brown as
sumed his office he said
"1 don't think that any man is able
TO run a city as Il should be run II he
must depend solely upon the advice,
counsel. and assistance of party lead
ers and politically elected officials.

So he asked group of private citi-
Zens to meet with him end the heads Of
week, and to talk over the city's busi-
ness frankly and informally.
The hard sense of the local mer-
chants Is projected into the question OF
appropriations. The seasoned experi-
ence of leading doctors is used to pro-
toct the health of the community. The
best minds at the city's bar help to
safeguard the taxpayer. and SO on. In
short, a large and varied talent Is cry
stallized for the general good. Tho

lating': its function is 20 inject practical
methods into the city administration.
This Kansas City experiment marks

else. Kansas City is showing the way.

Major Armes Calls on
Traction Company for
Voluntary Transfers

Major George A. Armes has called
upon President George Hamilton, Of
the Capital Traction Company, to settle
the universal transfer controversy by
having his company declare itself volun-
tarily in favor of universal transfers
with all street car lines in the District.
so many have requested me to take
an active part toward helping secure
free transfers" Major Armes told Mr..
Hamilton, that / sent letters to the
District Commissioners and the Cham
ber of Commerce in relation to passing
an order to issue universal transfers on
all the street railway lines in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
IF you will read my letter, published
in The Times of September q, a copy
of which left at your office, believe
you will agree with me that 1t will pay
better in the end to grant universal fEee
transfers. and that II will meet with
the approval of the country at large
greatly benefiting this city and placing
you on record as a man Of honor and
fairness"

TROLLEY RECEIVERS
ADVOCATE UTILITIES
BODY FOR DISTRICT
Declared Best Means of
Equitably Adjusting Pre-
yailing Public Issues.

Although taking the only course at
hand to enforce exchange OF transfers
at the corner of Fourteenth and Ken
nedy streets for patrons of the Balti-
more and Washington Transit Com
pany's line. between that point and Ia
.koma Park, and to test the validity Of
the universal transfer law, the attorneys
for the receiver of the company strongly
are in favor Of a public utilities COM
mission for the District, and will assist
the Chamber OF Commerce in getting
such legislation when Congress opens.
The transfer suit will come up before
Justice Clabaugh on Friday. when, 1t
is expected, a definite time for its hear
ing will be set.
In the matter of the control OF the
public service corporation, we seem to
be many years behind the progressive
cities of the country" Mr.. Lerch said.

Columbia performing public functions,

sum whatsoever for the valuable rights
which they obtain, other than the
amounts invested In their respective

Next. he took up the larger loans. in

of their indorsers or securities. The
new examiners mind seemed to
course and turn and make unexpected
dashes hither and thither like blood
hound seeking a trail. Finally he
pushed aside all the notes except a
few, which he arranged in a neat pile
before him, and began a dry, formal
little speech.

had not expected this. He had struck
