property would be as of the date
stated
That was nne. II indicated a spirit
of cooperation and fairness seldom
found in dealings between com
mission and a utility.
SPLIT ON VALUATION.
But the company claimed that the
value TO be allowed as a basis on
which to tx a fair profit should be
much more. 1t claimed. and now
the property would cost on the basis
OF the higher prices for materials and
labor that have obtained since July
l. 1914 No claim is made that ma
terial and labor costs for construc-
ton put in prior to July 1, 1914 were
on the high level that has since OBJ
tanned, but nevertheless the COM
pany contends that II is entitled to
the benefit of those high levels. just
the same as II IL had paid them
Specifically, the I company has
added 40 per cent Ia the agreed re-
production figures, contending that
that represents the increases that
have occurred. since The commits
sion, OF course, has not allowed the
claim in fixing the fair value OF the
property. and whether Il is allowed
by the courts remains to be seen
The point is that the tendency of
privately owned utilities IL to in
crease capital value per mile Cor per
whatever unit OF measurement ap-
plies) while the tendency of publicly
owned utilities is TO decrease capital
value per mile, or other unit.
The difference is fundamental and
highly important. Under private
ownership, IL means that utilities con-
stantly get more and more into debt,
and have to pay more and more in
terest. which in turn must be COL
lected from the public.
Under public ownership, Il means
that the utility constantly keeps pay
ing of its Indebtedness, which de-
creases it's interest payments, and
p. o. Is ONLY OFFSET.
And you can put the following
statement down as gospel:
AS long as public utilities are al
lowed to INCREASE their indebted
ness per unit. and are allowed to
earn return on that increase, they
can NEVER reduce their charges.
The same situation as to claims
for capital value applies to the
Washington Railway and Electric,
only more so. It's claims are greater
than those of the Capital Traction.
This" condition alone, without
numerous others, brings you newt
able and logically to the conclusion
that the only final, hundred per
cent remedy for our trouble in the
District is for the Government to
step in. take over both properties,
and run them in the interest of the
public.

Up for Debate.

my AntoTn1trOhai NeWo b<ENsS-~
The biggest political and economic
battle that the national has seen for
many day was under way when
the House of Representatives was
called to order this afternoon
The Fordney tarin bill, sponsored
by the Republican majority, was
the bone OF contention
Republican members were aroused
to q high pitch by the attack made
on the bill by Congressman Garner
in the report for the minority. In
which the Texas legislator charged
that II had been drafted with -trick-
cry" for the benent of a few men
w no financed the Republican party.
Gamers bitter attack upon the
measure, which would supplement
the Underwood tariff bill. created n
considerable sensation, and there were
promises that the House would have
its own little battle OF the century"
during thecoming weeks.
To add to the strife came word
from the State Department that sew
eral foreign governments have made
ocial protests against the bill, and
that these representations are being
forwarded to Congress.

OIL AND COAL ARE FOUND
 ... IN s. E. ALASKA Plans Under Way To Develop These
 For the Market This City. Both coalsand oil indications have been discovered in Southeastern AL lska near Juneau. Local companies have become interested in some of these prospective enterprises.
 Oil has been found and tested that compares favorably with the best grades that have made outside camps
 a,nous. The claim owners are not :io;ng any talking as yet, for they vant to make sure of securing ground in the right place and some more prospecting will be necessary before that can be done.
 Thers is every reason to bell however, that one drilling outfit will oc put to work during the coming season.
 Coal indications have been found n many places on the mainland and islands. In some instances, outcrop- ping. lodges have been found large enough to cause local development companies to be formed, in the hopes of placing the coal on the mar ket before next summer. Most of those searching for coal for immediate development purposes are looking for ledges extensive enough to provide tonnage, at a minimum cost, as they are not pre- pared to spend a great deal of money for development purposes. The coal therefore, must be near the water where it can be landed on scows, an> .shere extensive tunneling will not be necessary.

REPORT ON
 YUMA POWER RATES

A report will be made to the Can- fornia railway commission and the Arizona corporation commission by the committee appointed to look into the matter of power rates Of the Southern Sierras Power company at Yuma within the next few days, ac- cording to Ben Ferguson, engineer with the commission, who returned yesterday from Yuma.
 With MT. Ferguson were c. c. Bartlett of Riverside, representing the power company; w. J. Dodge of San Francisco Of the California cofn- mission, and F. A. Jones, represent ing the Yuma Commercial club. They will go over the figures gathered at Yuma from the Yuma Light. Gas and Water company and the Yuma Ice, Electric and Manufacturing company. The United States Rec lamation service also is affected by an increase. using the power of the company in developing the Yuma mesa.
 The company was granted an in- crease by the California commission and the case reopened when the Arizona commission protested that | the rate was prohibitive in develop. ment in the Yuma valley.

force, it contains two important diff ferenceS:
 Under the old law annual city as sessments on improvements are due from property owners on the same date the interest and principal cou- pons of the bonds become due. This system makes 1t practically impos- sible for the city to meet its pay ment on the bonds the same day due. The 1919 law calls upon the property owners to pay their annual interest and principal 30 days before pay ments on the bond coupons become due. This makes 1t possible for the city to meet it's obligations to the bond holders and serves to make the bonds more attractive.
 The other departure of importance which the new law takes from the old is a provision which makes it compulsory upon the city to begin proceedings to sell property in cases where the owner fails to pay assess ment principal and interest within five days from the date due. Under the law now in use the bondholder has a right to demand the sale of any property when the owner fails to meet the assessment upon the day

MIAMI ID ESCAPE
 HIGHER WATER RATE

Asserting that conditions were such in Miami that he did not feel justi- fled in asking for an increase in water rates, J. J. Mackay, manager of the Mackay Water company, has asked permission of the corporation commission to withdraw his applica- tion.
 The company furnishes water to the town and since the mines have closed down, Mackay has come for ward to do his bit by not making any attempt to raise the rate as he had previously sought to do.
 In his letter to the commission, he stated that the Standard Oil com pany, from which he buys fuel oil, had guaranteed to make him a rate within the next 15 days. The hearing for an increase. which was set for April g, was cancelled by the commission
