RAIL MERCER
TALK REVIVED
Petition of w., R. & E. for
Higher Fares Cause
of Speculation.

Request for financial assistance for
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company and the Potomac Electric
Power Company was made yesterday
to the Public Utilities Commission.
Date for a hearing will be set in the
near future.
A warning that the scent fare might
not prove sufficiently productive of
revenue was given the commission
when it went into effect November ].
Figures presented by the company
yesterday tend to show that for the
months of November, December and
January, under the scent fare. the
company has failed to meet operating
expenses. taxes and interest charges
by Sc. .9l1. GO. From which it appears. d"
the petition states. that the net de-
crease in the annual income would
amount to $50 .1S3.0s"
Present Rate 10 Cents.
Washington electric power consum-
ers are now paying ten cents per
kilowat hour, although the commits
sion ordered an eight cent rate al
most two years ago on July 10, 1871
The reason for such a condition, IL
is pointed out, is that the case has
been taken to court and pending ac-
ton the old charge Is still made. In
case the court hands down a decision
adverse to the company, all accumu-
lated back charges in excess OF eight
cent rate must be refunded.
Three methods of alleviating the
street car condition are suggested in
the petition. They are: Increase in
the initial rate OF fare in the District
establishment OF a zone system in
the District; or a charge for Transfers !
issued by the company to its own
lines and a charge for intercOmpany
transfers issued and received from the
Capital Traction Company.
Possibilities of another traction
merger are being discussed. Commits
siOner Brownlow declared yesterday
that he had always been enthusiastic
for such a move. provided 1t was made
on the basis of a proper valuation.

Who Benefits by High Prices?

You feel that retail meat prices are too

Your retailer says he has to pay higher
prices to the packers.
Swift & Company prove that out of
every dollar the retailer pays to the
packers for meat, . cents is for packers
profit IS cents is for operating expenses,
and IS cents goes to the stock raiser; and
that the prices of live stock and meat
move up and down together.
The live stock raiser points to rising

must 60 hand in hand with the new cost
of living.
No one, apparently, is responsible. No

We are all living on high-priced scale.
One trouble is, that the number of dollars
has multiplied faster than the quantity of
goods, so that each dollar buys less than
