KEEN ARGUMENT
ABOUT VALUATION
Missouri Pacific Railroad
Wants Its Property Evalu-
ated by Hurds Estimate.
BATTLE TO RAISE FARES

l., I. Ilurd. valuation engineer OF
tie Missouri Pacific Railway company
was examined before Special Master
Frank Gaines in the case in which the
Missouri Pacific seeks to enjoin the
state and the railway commission
from in,erferin. with its advance i'll
passenger rates above the regula-
ton 2-cent fare.
Mr.. Hurd some time ago made a
valuation Of the road which the state
railway commission declares was
never accepted The commission
holds that he made up his valuation
from data found in the Offices OF the
Missouri Pacific instead OF going out
and making hrst-hand survey OF the
valuations, The Missouri Pacific is
seeking TO use this valuation as cvl-
dencc i'll the case TO show that more
than 2-cent passenger rate is neccs-
Sary TO pay out on the investment. Y,
u. Powell rate expert for the state
railway commission, and Attorney
General Willis Z. Reed are cross-ex-
aiming the company's witnesses.
The commission and the company
are practically agreed, it is said, on
the quantity OF equipment OF the road,
but the difference of opinion comes on
the valuation OF the same.
The company holds that the value
of the new equipment recently added,
plus the valuation given in 1909,
makes a total valuation of the road
!, Nebraska OF $l9,000,000. The COM
mission contends the valuation is
much less.
The hearing is on in the Office of
Frank Gaines, 1904 City National
Bank building.

In general, women in Washington,
both in official and non-offcial life are
keen on giving American-made ma
terials and designs OF whatever type,
at least an equal chance with those Of
foreign origination.
Mrs Champ Clark, wife of the
speaker of the house of representa-

the Congressional Circle within the
next week TO discuss ways and means
for developing by all methods possible
an efficient, self-suffcient America.

cy in the domestic economy will form
the slogan of what may become a ma
tional organization.
Mrs. Clark feels that the congress.
ional contingent which is directly
responsive to domestic conditions
/ throughout the entire country, may
be free to devote its energies to pro,
| viding for home contingencies, such
as the fostering Of home industries and
! the maintenance OF a normal business
and social problem of unemployment
may be not forced upon the nation at
! this critical moment.
Mrs. Clark, in discussing the posi-.
bility Of a national organization. said:
"At any time the furthering of home
talent and the upbuilding Of native
enterprises would be simply following
the dictates Of common sense. With
the nation mOblizing its resources for
active participation in a world war.
the thorough-going, systematic effort
on the part Of American women. rich
and poor, to build up the structure of
domestic trade and commerce by any
means within their power, is merely a
tangible expression Of a practical and

New York, April 21.--Men whose

should be done to combat the hyster
ical cry Of many publicity seekers for
the wrong sort of economy
In this tense period, they insisted
any movement launched by people
whose names frequently appear in type
is likely to gain momentum without
much serious thought being given to
the circumstances, and it was their
contention that a misguided policy of
conservatism would not only hamper
the operations of the nation but
would throw out of work hundreds
of thousands Of men and women and
wreck the necessary industries which
employ them.
In each case ii was made partiCu-
larly clear that there Is no opposition
to the elimination of extravaganza, but
that such a movement is much to be

consumer, but in industrial organiza-

Economy Propaganda Destructive.
In the opinion of Samuel FlOer.

Bro, the propaganda instituted by the
society leaders in the name of patriot

a boomerang, doing more harm than
good. 1t will, first of all, throw out
of employment large number of
workers who will have no other means
of support, and who will thus become
a charge Of the city, state or federal
authorities; and, moreover, It will de-
crease incomes and thus diminish the
yield that the government can obtain
by taxation.

HystericaI Economy Harmful.
Said a manufacturer who has suf-
ficient confidence in the merit of the
merchandise he produces to insist
upon it being sold under its right
name, and not disguised as an i'm
ported product
"Hysterical economy, which is like
ly to be fOstered at the inception of
our entrance into war is going to do
untold harm to the country, If it is
allowed tC gain momentum Most
people will be afraid to combat the
arguments Of these sO.caled advocates
of economy, on the ground that they
will be accused of unpatriotic meth.
DDS but it should be brought home
to these people that the boarding Of
money is the worst disaster which can
happen to a nation. OF course, do
not mean that people should continue
to spend money eStrayagantly for un-
necessary things, but insist that men
and women should go along the even
tenor of their ways, with a realization
that when they spend dollar it
should go where it is going to do good.
There are thousands OF rich people
in this country who, like the rest Of us,
will bear our share of the wars bur
dens through the medium Of increased
taxation, and we are all going to pay il

buying many Of the necessary things

conditions we are able to buy, what

Americans must

Americans must adjust
spending to war conditions,
abstain from Wasteful use of
commodities and make their
purchases judiciously, If they
do not adopt this course of
their own free will, the econ-

war will force them to do it,
and it's compulsion will be far
more effective than any gov
