At independence Hall, where he touched
the Liberty Bell and looked with moist
eyes upon the spot where Lafayette re-
ceived his credentials as General III the
Continental army, Marshal Foch was
most impressed. He reverently patted
the historic old bell, and his fingers ran

Good Start on Unifying City

The official inquest into the prostra-
York's transit facilities was begun
yesterday by Gov. Miller's Transit
Commission. 1t got away to a brisk
start, despite concerted efforts Of
Mayor Hylan and his Corporation
Counsel to derail and wreck it before
it could gather headway.
Chairman McAneny and Clarence J..
Shearn. examining counsel, despatched
business so smartly that before the
close of the afternoon session the
commission had entered in the record
results of much of the intricate work
its experts have been engaged upon
for months. Half a dozen of these
specialists, armed with charts and
tabulations compiled from the figures
embodied in the railway companies
sworn reports to the commission, took
the stand and successfully painted in
what Mr.. McAneny called "the back
ground of the picture"
These figures showed that as the
number of passengers on city lines
has increased facilities have almost
continually deteriorated. From COM
pilations made by Fred w. Lindars,
chief accountant to the commits
sion, it appeared that on all the lines,
rapid transit and surface railroad
companies in the city, the number
of revenue passengers carried annually
had increased 277 per cent. between
the fiscal years 1918 and 1921.

passengers had dropped from sos to

phrase "car seat miles," 1t was ex-
planned, means the number of seats

The witness assented when Mr.. Shearn
said: 'Then. with an increase OF more

cent years expenditures for maintenance

been only about one-half or less than
one-half OF amounts expended for like

lowance for the decrease I'm the pur-

shown that IL the New York Railways

PLENTY OF PROTEST

Now comes the Arizona state tax commission and announces that

matte effort to deceive the commission, the public. aud in
turn the courts, and an honest effort TO ascertain the facts.
From 81 to SO per cent Of the traffic expenses of each Of

of such a thing was made by the witness Tor the company.
''Since 1920 operating expenses. relatively. and in most
eases actually, have decreased. Labor is either cheaper
or more efficient. Supplies have decreased in prizes. In prac-
trally every line of business, TO which the telephone business
is no exception. operating costs have decreased. In the tclc-
phone business, in practically every instance, operating re-
venues have increased in the face OF a decrease in many other
lines Of business. II is not unfair to say that the situation
today of a publicutilityc company with fixed rates of charges
aud with increasing returns is very favorable as compared
with those lines of competitive business which have been and
are subject TO the prevailing economic conditions.
These statements arc not quoted with the Inference that they

the Importance of a careful, public inquiry into the reasons behind
this proposed rate increase.
The state corporation commission has the power to conduct
