BOOKKEEPING BLAMED
FOR ROADS LOSSES
!. c. C.. in Hearing on Proposed 5
Per Cent Increase. Hears from
Clifford Thorn.

Clifford Thorn. member of the Iowa
State railroad commission and represent
ing seven other State railroad commits
sions who are protesting against the
proposed increase Of Der cent in freight
rates. yesterday told the Interstate Com
merce Commission that the railroads by
a bookkeeping system. evidently adopted
in 1872. were showing a net decrease an
revenue and this was brought about by
showing an increase in maintenance.
Mr.. Thorn said that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad had shown an increase of
8, ,00o.0 for maintenance in 1913 over 1872
Mr.. Thorn claimed that II this N,00o, 900
had been taken out OF surplus instead OF
operating expenses the net income Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad would have
been increased % per cent.
President Daniel Willard. who was
present at the hearing yesterday, asked
Mr.. Thorn IL he thought the railroad had
juggied its figures, to which Mr.. Thorn
replied:
The failure of your railroad to ac-
quaint the public with a change in your
method Of accounting leads me TO be-
lieve there was an attempt on your part
last year to prove a decline in net
revenue when 1t did not exist"
Mr.. Thorn said that IL the public could
be acquainted with the facts they would
know that the present apparent lack Of
prosperity on the part OF the railroads
is largely a matter of bookkeeping.
Mr.. Thorn said that his analysis of
figures presented to the Interstate Com
merce Commission ~ the railroads and
by the railroads to their stockholders
showed that every railroad system in the
Eastern part of the United States petit
tioning for an increase in rates with two
exceptions. the Bangor and Arostock and
the Western Maryland Railroad, had
pursued this system.

TAX BILL GIVEN
UP AS HOPELESS
Committee Puts Redrafting
of George Measure Up
to Prouty.
TASK IS DIFFICULT ONE
Two Amendments of Majority Are
Pressed roush-Dissention
Beginning to Develop.
TASK Is DIFFICULT ONE

Having emasculated the George tax bill
OF Its meritorious features. the House
District committee discovered yesterday
that the hodge-podge measure they had
worked into would be valueless as a
taxing machine. After wrangling for
two hours over the corpse, the commit
tee dropped upon the unwilling shoulders
Of Representative Prouty, Of Iowa. the
task of redrafting the measure.
While there was a slim quorum present
during part of the discussion. the vote
upon which Mr.. Prouty was given the
job of reconciling the bill with his
amendment was only Z to 3-less than
a majority. AS the George bill origi-
nally was written to deal only with real
property. and as the Prouty amendment
not only covers tangible personally under
Its provisions, but includes also intangi-
BILE personality, for the taxing of which
there now Is no machinery, the difficulty
is obvious.
Judge Prouty didn't want the job. but
the committee, conscious Of its lack Of
knowledge of the subject, insisted that
he take it. Probably the fact that Judge
P.outy drew them into their predica-
ment had something to do with the in
sistence.
The importance of the discussion lay
principally in the disclosure OF new dis
sentions in the committee over the
measure. Representative O'Leary dis
covered something in 1t to which he was
opposed, and announced. that he would
vote against the bill. Representative
Cary, who opposes almost anything for
one reason or another-or for none at
all. became refractory during the dis
cussiont over the power vested in the
Commissioners. Representative George,
who Is unfortunate enough to know some
thing about taxation. sat by and predict
ed-what Is obvious-that the bill would
be mutilated beyond recognition by the
time II reaches the House.
The committee managed to adopt two
amendments in line with the policy OF
the narrow majority-one making non
residents OF the District eligible to ap-
pointment on the board OF assessors. and
another permitting the employment OF
extra assistant assessors only for the
first two assessments under the proposed
act.

QUESTION OF COLORED
WOMEN VOTING RAISED
Mrs. Edwards. of North Carolina.
Puts Query to Leaders in Suf-
frage Movement.

THE suffragists do not let one single
day pass into eternity without proclaim
ing from the house tops that the women
have a right to vote" said Mrs. f. G.
Edwards at anti-suffrage headquarters
yesterday, speaking on THE Southern
Woman" Mrs. Edwards Is a North Caro-
linian and is visiting in this cityy. She is
organizing anti-sufrage societies in her
native State.
THE deep sense of duty and fairness
and justice naturally will impel the suf
fragists not only to ask for the vote for
their white sisters in the Southern States,
where they are now engaged IN organ
izing suffrage clubs, but also for the
black women" remarked Mrs. Edwards.
There are in the Southern States ap-
proximately 100000 negro women. who
might, IL they choose. dominate the
Southern States II the claims OF the suf-
fragists are granted"
There are many persons, according to
Mrs Edwards, who. with Senator Borah,
would like to know II the colored women
of the South are to be permitted to vote
under the proposed constitutional amend
ment
Northern surragists," continued Mrs
Edwards, after all their shouting for
the right to vote will not calmly and
without protest permit the suppression
of the vote of the black women of the
South. and II is naturally to be expected
that the Northern idea will prevail in the
end and give the ballot to the black
women OF the South
An enfranchisement of the Southern
negresses on paper, followed by their dis
franchisement in practice and in fact,
will not work. according to Mrs. Ed
wards, but il will surely lead to racial
disorders and an examination by Fed
eral authorities of the entire suffrage
conditions in the South
DO DR.. Shaw, Miss Adams, Mrs. Nc
Cormick. Mrs. Funk, and the Southern
Suffrage League leaders demand the suf-
frage as a right?' asked Mrs. Edwards.
IF SO, do they believe that the black
women of the South have a right to
vote? II so. will they tolerate, or are
they now contemplating the suppression
of, the votes of the black women OF the
South"
