FOR HALF:AND-HALF
400, 900 National Members to
Be. Told About the Fiscal
System in District.

Four hundred thousand members of
the Young Mems Christian Association
of the United States will soon be ad-
vised of the necessity Of the present
half-and-half fiscal system for the
District Of Columbia.
An outline Of the report recently is
sued by the executive COMMITTEES Of
the citizens committee of 80 will be
published in the next issue Of Associa-
tion Men, the national organ OF the
Y. NJ. c. A, and readers of the mag
azine will be urged To ask representa-
tives in both houses Of Congress to
defeat any legislation that is intended
to alter the present financial relations
of the Federal and the District Gov
crnments.
Henry B. F. Macfarland, chairman of
the executive committee, returned this
morning from New York, where he ar
ranged for the publication of the argu-
ments favor.ng a continuation of the
half-and-half system. Mr.. Macfariand
said he talked with several business
men in New York. and all of them ex-
pressed surprise that any attempt was
being made to upset the arrangement

SAYS DISSEMINATION
IS BEHIND RATE PLEA
Brandeis Asserts Free Storage
of Big Shippers Eats Up
Freight Charges.

Evidence of the heavy loss sustained
by Eastern railroads through free
storage. loading and unloading freight
shipments, was submitted by Louis
Brandeis, Of Boston, special counsel
for the Interstate Commerce Com
mission m the advance rate cases at
a hearing on the free service question
before Commissioner Harlan today.
Mr.. Erandeis cited examples at Phil
adelphia. New York. Baltimore, and
other cites to show that free unload
ing and delivery constituted discrimi-
nation and ate into the revenues of
the roads. absorbing a large part of
the freight charges.
The inquiry was Instituted by the
commission to determine whether the
roads could get along without the
requested per cent increase in rates
II they made proper charges for the
services they gave free to large
shippers.
Among specific cases Mr.. Brandeis
alleged discrimination in favor OF
certain shippers and against certain
warehousemen at Philadelphia, where
the Pennsylvania road. he says. gives
free storage and delivery to goods
stored in subsidized warehouses. while
other shippers using other warehouses
have to cay for this service them
selves.
This service said Mr.. Brandeis,
cost the Pennsylvania at Philadel-
phia 1882 26162 in the year ending
June 20. 1913. This provision on the
part Of the railroad appears strikingly
improvident from whatever point OF
view it may be regarded. Why should
the Pennsylvania throw away money
in paying for service which other
warehousemen would perform with
out pay to the ra!lroads?"
Illustrations of the heavy cost Of free
services at Buffalo. New York. and
Baltimore also were given to bear out
the contention of the commission that
the railroads sustain a heavy loss
through their free services to large
shippers:
At Baltimore, Mr.. Brandeis said, the
Baltimore and Ohio supplies storage at
Locust Point on certain terms to mer-
chandise in transit. An examiner Of
the commission reported on the record
of twenty-one carloads of tobacco from
Virginia points to New York. which
were stopped in transit, unloaded and
stored at Locust Point before being for
warded to New York The Baltimore
and Ohio haul on these twenty-one cars
was l5S miles. The freight charge was
$3l. .ls. and the storage and labor S2Ss. 20.
making the total charge $631.3. The
actual cost to the road in connection
with the stopping and storing Of the
shipment was placed at $.Sl.12, or q
loss OF $14914 over the cost of rail trans
oortation.

structive legislation, and agreed that all
that was needed was to get the facts
before all the Senators and Represen-
tatives. including the $50 members of
the House who had taken no part in
the legislation. referred to in order to
insure defeat Of such legislation.
AS one OF them, Western inan said !:
The country will not stand for that

glad to contribute the one-half Of its
expense. I did not kno wbefore that
my per capita snare was cents, but I
would gladly double that IL could. 1t
seems insignificant to me-"
Mr.. Macfariand added that he thought

men received the statement Of the facts

House virtually on that issue. tho
statement was not startling. True. it
came at a later hour and when 1t was
rather unexpected, but the Speakers
antirathy to rules of this character is
well known. and it was not surprising
that he .'blew the lid Off,"
On the other hand, IL the Speaker
should follow up this statement with a
bitter speech on the floor, a speech IN
which he attacks the Presidents policy
as such, then the party split will be
worth watching. The Speaker has a
gets to be a personal issue between him
and the President or between the Speak
er and some Administration spokesman,
the end will not be written until 1916.
Congressman Hardwick of Georgia
yesterday took the Clark detection seri-
ously.
He indirectly read a lecture to the
Speaker. who remained silent for the
time being, Mr.. Hardwick demanding to
know if the Speaker realized IF we tear
Woodrow Wilson down. no other Demo-
crat will have a chance?"
The Hardwick attack. presenting a
dramatic situation in the House. was
greeted with slight applause, but his
statements were too loaded" with dire
possibilities for the Democratic party to
disapprove them.
Congressman Underwood. majority
leader, in his conservative way, has
disagreed with the President. He be-
li.ves it is economically wrong to
charge coastwise ships for the canal
privilege Furthermore. he thinks 1t
no violation of the treaty, and again.
and with much emphasis. he argues
that Democrats should follow their
PARTY platform, which declared for tolls
exemption.
II Speaker Clark follows similar lines,
content merely to state his opposition
and meet defeat when the votes are
counted in the House. the Democratic
crisis will blow over. II Mr.. Clark
in his heart, gives the British lions
tail a twist. attacks the administration

sails the talk of national honor"
Dcmocracy's troubles truly will be on.
The Washington times., 1914-03-28

Many Surprised.
Mr.. Mcfarland addressed members
of the international committee of the
Y. NJ. C. A. at the Union League Club
Thursday night. and outlined the pro-
posed legislation threatening the organic
act. He briefly referred to the report
of the committee OF one hundred. and
promised to send each Of the men pres
ent a copy.
THE men from all over the country
whom I met at the dinner and repre-
sentative business men with whom
talked while in New York" said Mr.
Macfarland. could hardly believe that
there was a determined effort. even
among q few men in Congress, to stop
the progress OF the National Capital by
breaking up the half-and-half arrange

HOKE SMITH LEADS
SENATE TOLLS FIGHT
Reads Into Record a Report on
Canal Revenue Written by
Prof. Emory Johnson.

The acrimonious feeling in the Senate
on the Panama canal tolls question
flared up in that body this afternoon
before it had been in session ten min
utes. Senator Hoke Smith stirred the
subject up by reading into the Record
certain views of Prof. Emory johnson
given in a report at the last Congress.
Prof. johnson was opposed TO tiils ex-
emption for the coastwise ships.
This brought Senator Bristow to MS
feet to point out that the views of Or.
johnson were never accepted by the
Government on the subject of tolls.
He would have imposed tolls that
would have penalixed the people & OF
this country from the begann,ns: n :.nted ne

ing ali the traffic would bear

O'Gorman, If this Is the same Johnson

ernment, was delivering lectures oh 'he
Carnegie Peace Fund?
Il understand he Is the same man,
said Senator Bristow: ..
Senator Hoke Smith said he thought
Prof. Johnson's statements on coast
wise shipping and tolls were we'll con-
sidered.
"Prof. johnson further was in favor
of allowing railroad-Ow ships to use
the canal" said Senator Bristow. :! =!
trust the Senator from Georgia Will
not follow him in that and undertake
to repeal the provision to exclude rail-
road-owned ships"
Senator Smith said he was following
him only as to the particular question
at issue
Senator William Alden Smith remind
ed the Senate that all the report from
Prof. johnson was before the Senate
when the canal act was passed.
The Baltimore convention was also
held after the johnson report was
made public" he said.
whereupon, Senator Thomas called
for the regular order.

TOLLS DEBATE IS
RENEWED|N HOUSE
(CcLtinued from First Pase.)

iCcLtinued from First Pase.)
probably will be the last speaker heard
In opposition to the Wilson program.
Congressman Underwood. in an able.
dispassionate speech Of one hour. voiced
his opposition to the repeal yesterday
afternoon. He was followed by Con-
gresham Palmer of Pennsylvania, who
presented the Administration side, in a
speech Of unusual earnestness.
The delay in the adoption of the rule,
prey ented a full day of debate yester-
day, but when the House convened to-
days six hours of oratory were ahead.
The repeal bill will be in order again
on Monday. and, in fact, until 1t Is
passed or defeated
Interest Is Undiminished.
Interest in the repeal fight seemed un-
diminished today, and the attendance
was large. both upon the floor and in
the galleries. Aside from the issue of
tolls exemption. great question OF
party policy is involved, and there are
observers who shake their heads omin-
ousiy and say the Democracy is headed
straight for the rocks. The breach be-
tween the White House and House
leaders, who have heretofore been for
all Wilson policies. Is regarded with
more nervous Democrats fear it is but
the beginning of the end in the disrup-
tion process.
Others see in the tolls controversy a
RAISING difference of opinion, which will
be Strengthened out when the party gets
back at the job of routine legislation
The bitterness of the debate in the
House, however, indicates that many
wounds are to be healed. and the fact
that fifty-five Democrats voted against
the President. despite his personal plea,
shows how far apart are the Demo-
cratic factions.
Breach Depends On CLARK.
The width of the breach in Democratic
ranks depends largely upon the speech
which Speaker Clark intends to deliver
Tuesday next. If the Speaker confines
himself to an academic discussion of
the treaty and the tolls question; IL
he expresses in his terms mis- opposf-
tion to the Administration proposal and
his irtent to register his vote against II,
the fare-up will not be as serous as 1t
has been pictured since the issuance of
the Clark statement.
This statement. it will be recalled, did
not attack the Presidents position di-
rectIy. but referred to the attempt to
Jam special rule through the House
to consider the repeal bill. AS Speaker
Clark, when he was in the Democratic
ranks as a member Of the minority. had
often inveighed against gag" rule and
his party had obtained control of the
