Senator Says $25, 600, 600
PAYMENT Would Be Admis-
sion of Guilt.

Payment Of $25,00o.0 900 to Columbia
in ratification Of the treaty would
constitute an admission by the United
States that she stole the Panama
canal. according to Senator Irvine L.
Lenroot, speaking last night before
the City Club.
Qualification Of this treaty. as re-
quested by President Harding, would
be a blot on the nations honor" said
the speaker. In March. 1917, Senators
Lodge. Brandagee.. Borah. McCumber
and Fall. in q minority report. op-
posed the payment of this money to
Colombia. The reoprt used the fol-
lowing language:
This treaty is. in effect. not only
a plea Of guilty to the charge made
against US by Colombia. but an
payment of s10.000.00o. the price for
which the government of Colombia
had agreed to convey to US the right
Of way over the iSthmus while she
claimed sovereign rights over that
territory. we shall also pay $15.000.000
to Colombia as exemplary damages.
No Other Construction.
"'No other construction can or will
be placed by the world upon our ac-
ton. Nor can we avoid this conclu-
sion by declaring to the world that we
half times greater than we paid
Panama for our right OF way, to es-
tablish cordial relations of amity.
We cannot afford to purchase cordial
relations with any country. We can
not afford to answer a blackmil de-
mand.'
II can conceive of no change in con-
ditions that would warrant our plead
ing guilty to an International crime
we never committed. If there is any
such change. the country is entitled
to know the facts"
The nation which has control of
the oil supply of the world in twenty
five years. said the speaker. will be in
a position to control the merchant ma
rine of the world. In this connection
Senator Lenroot said that the supply
Of oil in the United States would be
exhausted in twenty-five years if the
present rate of demand continued.
President ]. 4. Whitfield. who pre-
sided at the meeting. explained to
the .assemblage prior to the address
just what the club proposed to do

OLD STREET CAR RATE TANGLE
PROBED BY NEW COMMISSION
Find Present Fare Gives Capital Traction
Too High Earning, But Different Rates
Would Work Hardships on w. R. @E.

The witness answered that expenses
would decline somewhat, but not in pro-
portion to the loss OF revenue
Getting back to the question OF depre-
citation, which was gone deeply into by
Commissioner kutZ in the morning, Mr..
Clayton asked Mr.. Ham why his COM
pany did not begin to create a deprecia-
ton reserve years ago wher the COM
pany was able to pay a good diSiueno
on common stock.
Mr. Ham replied that no depreciation
was set up then because the system was
maintained in a high degree of eff
cheney out of operating expenses.
Col Kutz questioned both Mr.: Ham
reducing expenses through cut IN
the pay of trainmen, but both officials
said they saw no possibility OF that.
Mr. Ham opposed a reduction in the
pay of motormen and conductors
which ranges from 81 to 56 cents. an
hour. and Mr.. Hanna said his company
has a contract with it's men which
cannot be reopened until next March
Commissioner oyster questioned MIR.
Hanna at length as to the reductions
which have taken place in the price
of coal and other supplies entering
into street railway operation.
Merger Best Solution.
Discussing the perplexing problem
of how to meet the widely different
needs of the two companies fairly
Mr.. Hanna said that real solution is
a merger and next to merger. meas
ured service or Zone-fare system
would be the most equitable. He re-
called. however. that the people
voiced a strenuous opposition to a
zone-fare system. He said that while
he regards the zone system as equi-
table in principle. he believes the
wishes of the people should be fol-
lowed on that subject.
In answer to questions of Mr.. Clay
ton. Mr.. Hanna said the Capital Trac
ton Company paid divideH1 of 9
per cent to stockholders last year
but that it hoped to pay per cent
dividend in 1921.
Mr.. Hanna testified that his COM
pany had a surplus revenue Of 1898.
About 100000 of this surplus was
used in writing off of the company's
books the value of the old single
truck cars which the company was
required to abandon.
Mr.. Hanna said that despite the
total revenue of the company during
the last few years. increased divi-
dends have not been paid to stock
holdess. The company. he said. has
never earned or paid moBe than a
per cent dividend. During the past
two years. he continued, the COM
pany has bought more than a million
dollars worth of equipment without
borrowing money.
Mr.. Hanna further declared there
is no basis for statements being
made that the attitude of the Capital
Traction Company is standing in the
way of merger. President George
E. Hamilton has repeatedly made
known his terms for a merger, the
witness added

Once more the public utilities COM
mission must determine whether it is
wiser to fix different rates of fare for
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio and the Capital Traction COM
panies or have a uniform rate that
will give the Capital Traction more
money than it needs.
Here is the. situation as presented to
the new commission by the two compan-
les at yesterdays hearing:
The Washington Railway and Electric
Company said it must have the present
fare of four tokens for 80 cents con-
tinued in order to approximate per
cent revenue on it's valuation.
The Capital Traction Company showed
it could earn more than per cent on its
valuation with the former rate Of four
tokens for 25 cents and cents for inter-
company transfers.
The Capital Traction Company further
stated that if it continues to charge the
present fare throughout 1921 1t VIII
earn $1.6S0, 200, or 1913 per cent on its
valuation.
Oppose Separate Rates.
William F. Ham, president OF the
Washington Railway and Electric. and
Capital Traction. both opposed separate
rates of fare for the two roads. Mr.
Hanna. however. did not ask for con-
tinuation of the existing fare. but merely
presented the financial condition of his
system to. the commission.
Mr.. Ham frankly stated that if the
commission should decide to fix differ
ent rates for the companies the Wash
ington Railway and Electric would need
a 10-cent fare to start with.
Supporting Mr.. Hams argument. Mr..
Hanna declared that a lower rate OF
fare for the Capital Traction Company
would increase still further the earn
ings Of that road and decrease the earn
ings of the Washington Railway and
Electric.
The hearing adjourned until 2 o'clock
this afternoon. when William Nick Gay
ton of the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations will make his closing argu-
ment. He indicated yesterday that he
will argue that each company be given
exactly the rate of fare it needs. on the
ground that the commission has no right
to 20 on indefinitely presenting un-
necessary revenue to the Capital Trac-
ton Company.
Two Weeks to Decide.
The commission has two weeks in
which to decide the street car case,
which will give the new members ample
time to study carefully the perplexing
situation.
When Mr.. Ham predicted that he
would need 10 cents if the Capital Trac-
ton Company is given exactly what it
requires. he explained that his road
would be constantly losing traffic If the
other system had a lower fare.
But Mr.. Ham, as travel would fall
off wouldn't expenses be reduced by the
operation of fewer cars?" asked Mr..
Clayton.
