CITIES WINNING
ATFARE HEARING
Indications Are That Six Cent
Fare viii Be Con-
tinued

NEWARK, April 24:-when the
hearing before the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners on the Public
Service Railway Company's applica-
ton for a modification of the six cent
fare order came UP yesterday, the in
terests of the municipalities combat
ting the application were in able
hands, and before the days testimony
had been completed the laurels of q
bitter day rested on the banner of
Frank III. Sommer, attorney for the
associated municipalities.
Charges were made at the hearing
that the Public Service had tuggled
figures TO present a misleading finan-
cial statement to justify its demands
for an increase OF fares, and that the
company n refused to give certain
figures to the municipalities financial
representative, Mark Wolff, despite a
virtual order of the board that they
do so.
It was apparent that the testimony
had a marked effect on the commits
sion n whose hands the decision on
the application rests.
Some of the charges we're:
That though the company eStimat-
ed when 1t appealed for a seven-cent
fare that the increased revenues
would be s3,400.000, the increase. in
reality, was more than $4,000, 900,
and would include $2,OOO,0O0 "vel-
vet"
That the company requires $780,
610 more for operating expenses and
taxes in 1919 than In 1918, which was
o war" year. T~estifying on this point
for the people. DIR. Delos +. Wilcox.
traction expert Of New York, said:
Investigation of this increased cost
of operation may bring interesting
disclosures"
That man job orders that were
have been properly charged to capt.
tai"
That expenditures that should have
been spread over a period of a year or
more were often charged up to a
month, among them the 100000 cost
of Investigating the "zone-fare" sys-
tenn which is now being considered
by the commission.
And finally, that the average of
wages and number of employees sub
mitted by the company in reports diff
fered from the payroll records of the
company; that the adjusted accounts
OF the company prevented adequate
comparisons and were misleading.
The disclosures were apparently a
surprise to the company's battery of
attorneys. experts and officials. in
Guiding the president of the Public
Service companies. Thomas N. Nc
Carter.
Tilts between Mr.. Sommer and the
Public Service attorneys were fire.
Quent and brilliant and in each in
stance Mr.. Sommer. noted for his
wit and sharpness. came out on top.

ROY M. CRAIG, Business Manager
For More Profitable Farming.

H. M. Cottrell the new head of the Agri-
cultural Bureau of the Little Rock Board of
Commerce, is making splendid start in his
work for better and more profitable farming
in Arkansas.
Mr.. Cottrell has started a campaign
throughout the state to increase the value of
the farm products Of Arkansas three million
dollars this year.
This can easily be done, and if the farm
ers of Arkansas will heed the things Mr.. Cot
trel is preaching to them, they will find them
selves on the highway to permanent prosperity.
The progress made in farming in Arkansas
during recent years is sufficient to Justify the
hope that greater progress will be made during
the next few years.
We have not even begun to approach the
limit of agricultural Improvement in Arkansas.
But the future of farming in Arkansas
will depend very largely upon the young men.
Most of the problems of increased production
will have to be solved by the young men.
The average yield of all crops produced
in Arkansas is far below what it should be-
This is matter that lies directly with the in
dividual farmer, but it affects the state as
whole. AS result, the state suffers in com
parson with some other states, where product
i've conditions are not near SO favorable to the
farmer they are in Arkansas
The Journal has watched Mr. CottrelPs
work with considerable interest since he came
to Arkansas recently from Tennessee where he
was engaged in similar work He has shown
himself to be practical man, of sound ideas
and good common boss sense-and that's the
kind of man the farmers like to tie to-

Every farmer should teach his boys and

should teach them that farming is business,
and should be conducted on business basis as
the merchant conducts his store and the banker
runs the bank, and that every acre is a prospect
for more and better business every year. They
should be taught that farming is an occupation
