~ HOMER JOSEPH DoDoE.

The exact status Of the finances Of
American railroads. street car com
paniss, power. heating, and lighting
companies and the great industrial
corporations will be told to the public
by two OF the nations foremost nnan-
eiers when the Interstate Commeree
Commission. tomorrow, hears the tes.
tlmony OF Frank A. vanderlip, presl.
dent OF the National City Bank. Of
New York, and Paul NJ warburg,
vice governor OF the Federal Reserve
Board.
These fnanclers. both eminent a.
bankers and both serving the Ameri.
can Government, have been invited by
the Commission to make public the
vast amount OF information they have
accumulated, so that the American
people may know whether or not the
big corporations serving the general
public are underpald for their ser
vices.
Co1eerted Demands.
With q movement more concerted
than ever has been made in this
country before. public service corpo-
rations Of all descriptions are demand
ing from Federal and State authori-
ties substantial increases In their
rates. Previously they have been re-
fused or put OF on the ground that
they have overstated their needs
Tomorrow expert testimony will be
adduced calculated to show the Amer.
lean people whether the public ser.
vice corporations have q Just com
plant or whether they are using the
war as an excuse to obtain greatly
increased revenues out of the pockets
OF the public.
The Commission has assured Itself
and the public OF receiving impartial
testimony by inviting, not as wit
nesses for either companies or their
Immediate customers, but on its own
motion and as witnesses for the gen
eral public, two men who are In the
Government service and sworn to
faithfully serve no special Interest,
but all the people.
Corporations HandIrapped.
These nnanciers will tell the Inter.
state Commerce Commission that
American railroads and other public
Utilities have felt the increased cost
OF living as keenly as the Individual.

manufacturing establishment may ad-
Just the prices II charges for its prod
ucts to the rising scale Of wages of
labor, costs OF materials, and other
charges, and while workingmen may
strike for higher wages and salarisd
men seek other jobs. the public ser
vice corporations cannot add to the
price OF the service they sell except
by leave OF regulatory bodies, and.
furthermore, may not strike or seek
other jobs.
Mr.. Vanderlip and Mr.. warburE
will show that because the big corpo-
ratlons have been unable to show
earnings in recent years, they cannot
get new money invested in their en-
terprises, no matter how legitimate
and necessary. They will state that

What viii be the size Of the army
for which estimates for appropriA-
tions viii be presented to Congress
by Secretary Baker is q question
which is causing . profound stir in
army circles. Nor is the interest in
the matter confined to army circles.
congressmen are wondering about II.
Published reports that Secretary
Baker will put in estimates for the
maintenance Of ], 600 900 men are in
part responsible for the attention
which has been directed to this
matter.
So far. the Secretary has not been
willing to state how many men he
will estimate for. Good reason exists,
however, for believing that the gem
erRl stan wants much larger estimates
put before Congress than the Secre-
tHry is willing to support. The gen.
eral stan wants Congress to provide
for at least 3,o00. 900 men. Plenty of
army officers want the number to be
still greater than that

Deep seated feeling exists in army
quarters that by reason Of the Rus
eAA AN1-Aah hGNNAOpluCulS the
United States ought to come to the
front now with q smashing program
OF preparation which will remove all

nnal outcome Of the war.
In the absence OF . definite an
nouncement from the War Depart
ment II cannot be said hatIy that
Secretary Baker will hold the number
to 1000, 900, but the talk to this ef-
feet 10 causing uneasiness among
those that want American prepara-
tions multiplied and magnifed. This
total would be less than the number
which Congress had In mind last ses-
sion when IL was making army appro-
priations. Then the total ran over

Congress based its calculations.

Baker may supplement his estimates

gency estimates and that, although

TWO LAST DAYS T..
Make COUNTY FAIR
Popular Verdict IS That Fair
Was Well Up to Stand
ard Set.

The last two days of the county fair
saved the situation and brought the
receipts close to last years. which
held the record. In spite of the driv-
ing rain on Wednesday, receiving day,
and threatening attitude on Thursday,
very fine line Of exhibits were brot
in. The stock barns were filed and
number of horses were housed in a
tent. The coops in the poultry tent
were all filled. The showing in the
general exposition hall was very good,
and it is matter of speculation as to
what would have happened if nice
weather and good roads had prevailed
on the first day of the fair. Every in
dication is that the fair would have
been swamped with exhibits. It is
the generally expressed verdict that
the arrangement and decoration in
the auditorium was the best yet seen.
The success of this years fair in
spite of untoward circumstances
proves to the most skeptical~ that it
has won a firm hold on the people
and that they will stand by it as a
permanent institution.
The following statement of receipts
will give an idea Of how attendance
compares with former fairs:
