ALEXANDRIA TO
BOYCOTT v. y. R. R.
FOR FARE BOOST
Congress viii Be Asked to Take
Action on Decision Allow
ing Increase.

As the people OF Alexandria and
vicinity were today banding together
to seek a congressional investigation
OF the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion's decision allowing the Wash
ington-virp inia Railway Company to
increase its rates from 2h to 3 cents
per mile. and Its commutation rates
25 per cent, individual citizens were
arranging for other means OF trans
portation to and from Washington.
Angered by the commisslon's de-
cision to permit increased fares ef-
fectiye July 13,~Alexandria citizens are
arranging with neigbbors owning
automobiles to give them their daily
lifts to and from the city.
That the increased rates of the
railway company will result In a
large increase in business for the
three bus lines operating between
Alexandria and Washington was in
dicated today by capacity business on
all lnes-the yellow, Washington
Alexandria. and Alexandria Motor
Bus Company.
Many Alexandrians Indicated that
they would move to Washington
when the fare increases became ef-
fective, thus not only saving the ex-
cess fare. but also avoiding the daily
trips between the two cities.
A vigorous boycott proposal was
made last night by Rev. ID. III. Hartin,
pastor OF the Trinity M. E. Church OF
Alexandria, who declared at Is high
time the Government released the
people Of this country from the grasp
of greedy profiteers and brought the
proflteers to punishment"
when Rev. Martin concluded his
remarks 800 members of the conGre-
cation arose in body and pledged
10 boycott the railroad
rather than pay the proposed increase
in fare.
'qf the railroad cannot operate on
its present rates. q should go out OF
business" argued Rev. Martin. "for
the people are not able 20 pay higher
rates. and nobody would ask or er.
poet the railroad TO operate at ioss. !"

The local organization also de-
nies that they have converted

Mellen said that he procured from

business OF the organization, and
that he gave his entire time and at
tention to the work and was sue

HARDING GIVES
ENDORSEMENT TO
REGR0UP|NG Plan
New ALLEGATION Of Departments
Which Overlap, Strongly
Urged by President.

President Harding and the Cabi-
net have agreed upon the necessity
for "a statutory regrouping Of gov
ernmental activities to the end, az
far as practicable, that each de-
partment shall be made up of
agencies having substantially the
same major purpose, and further
that identical or similar services
shall be grouped together" the
President today advised the Joint
Congressional Committee on Reor-
ganization in d letter to Walter
Brown, chairman.
URGES INMEDIATE STEPS.
The President urged that immedi-
ate legislation to this. end be urged
upon Congress In order that admins
trativs efficiency and economy in
Government expenditure may be In
creased.
The committee indorsed the Presi-
dents plan in an executive session to-
day.
The Presidents letter follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Brown--The problem
assigned 70 your committee has been
c.scussed at length In several recent
meetings of the Cabinet. The views
OF those chaAeed with the RESPONSE
bility of administering the executive
branch OF the Government have SO far
nrystalized that i deem 1t proper TO
present for your consideration the
general conclusions.
'isince it is extremely difficult to
administer efficiently departments
which include wholly dissimilar and
unrelated services, and quite impossi-
BILE to administer economically identi-
cal or similsr>services which are scat
tered throughout several departments,
1t would seem necessary at the outset
OF the work OF reorganization to pro-
vide a statutory regrouping of govern
mental activities to the end. as far as
practicable, that each department
shall be made up OF agencies having
substantially the same major jurpose,
and further that Identical or similar
services shall be grouped together.
This task accomplished the work OF
eliminating duplication by consoiida-
tion and otherwise and OF devistng
efficient administrative efforts for the
several departments could then be
taken up in logical order and prose-
cuted effectively.
"The Executive and Cabinet are Of
one mind that bill re-allocating the
governmental services upon the
principle above outlined should be
prepared and strongly recommended
to Congress for as speedy passage as
possible, in order that there may be
no unnecessary delay in bringing
about the governmental economy
which our duty enjoins upon us and
which the country Is demanding and
expecting. To this end we pledge
your committee our hearty lco-opera-
ton.
Syery truly yours. 4

TURNED TO USEFUL CHANNELS.
Saved from wages and salaries
dollar by dollar. this vast sum rep
resents a potential investing power
which Is being turaed into useful
channels as fast as the commercial
and Industrial demands OF the ma
ton can absorb IL. 1t Ia being COM
vcrted into great manufacturing
plants to increase production and
commodities. II is going into the
building OF new and improved rail-
road lines. and steamships to carry
American products to the far cor
ners of the earth. 1t is being
claimed by pioneer communities,
where there is urgent need for eIec-
trio light and power plants, irri-
cation dams and projects, and street
car systems.
Tn average small investor In Cow
ernment securities or the possessor
OF savings bank passbook does
not long keep his savings in their
original form. officials say.
As the savings account gets lxrg-
er the desire for higher interest
usually leads the possessor to place
part of his capital in some indus
trial enterprise which yields q larg-
er return. He then sets to work TO
rebuild the account to its original
size and the process is repeated.
RANKS AID TURNOVER.
There is another. and more direct
method also by whfkh the saved capi-
tai flows into manufacturing and in
dustry. benenting the entire country.
This is through loans by banks of the
cash obtained from savings.
The extent to which savings bank
deposits have increased is shown by
reports of the Comptroller of the Cur-
rency. The total savings accounts In
pre-war years was between two and
three millions of dollars. The total
now IS more than double that of the
pre-war period.
The billions of dollars laid aside by
investors during the war and in the
period following the armistice will
yield their owners a triple return
for their sac .,fice in refusing to spend
them for immediate needs, officials of
the Treasury Department point out.
This Is because of the rising value of
the dollar as compared with its pre-
war purchasing power.
One hundred dollars saved six
months ago now will buy securities
worth $3.50 compared with the earlier
period. This is because of the wave
of falling prices now sweeping the
entire country and involving the price
of everything from shoes to bonds
and stocks. The person who began
saving during the war period and who
has retained the habit therefore. now
Is in a position to realize a double
return on his sacrifice, IL is pointed
out. The first return Is that of IN
terest on the amount saved. and the
second is the additional value of the
commodity purchased or the invest
ment decided upon.
At this rate, investors of small
means now are In position to turn
into commerce and manufacturing
more than $4,000. 900. 900 in compari-
son with the pre-war period. This
vast potential investment power rep
resents the extent to which industry
may receive financial support when
depression disappears and the country
is ready TO turn to production on
large scale and win back, the kind of
prosperity which marked the United
States in the days before the great
