ALL D. c. CAR LINES
PARTY T0PET|T|ON
Commissioners Order Indi-
Gates Desire for Uniform
Rate of Fare.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day issued an order making all street
railway companies in the District
parties to the application of the
Washington Railway and Electric
COMPANY for a straight eight-cent
fare.
The commission adso announced tnat
hearings on the street car fare ques-
tion will start in the boardroom OF
the District building at 10 O'CLOCK
Thursday, December 16.
The order issued today directs the
.CapitaI. Traction Company, the East
Washington Heights Tracflon halis
road Company, the Washington ana
Maryland Railway Company ana the
Washington-Virgini Railway Com
pany to be represented by counsel at
the hearings.
For Uniform Rate.
This order is taken as an indication
that the commission intends TO ad-
here to the policy Of establishing
uniform rate of fare on all the street
railway lines Of the city.
When the commission granted the
present rate of fare to the Capltai
Traction Company in May Witnout
that company having asked for it
the commission expressed the hope
that Congress would revise the meth
cd of taxing the street railway COM
panies.
Submit Heavier Tax.
The proposed change was to abol-
ish the existing A per cent tax on
gross earnings and substitute
heavier tax on net earnings In ex-
cess of per cent return on the
value of the railway property.
This change would practically re-
lieve the Washington Railway and
Electric Company of taxes, since
it is not earning 6 per cent on fair
value, and would take from the Capt.
tai Traction Company large part
of what it earns in excess of and Z
per cent. Such legislation would Off
set the unsought revenue given the
Capital Traction in the past SIX
sion failed to act on the Commission
ers' suggestion.
It is probable that efforts will be
made to have this legislation enacted
at the coming session.
