RATES UNFAIR
TOD.C.PEOPLE
Finds Street Railway Service
in Capital Decidedly Infe-
rior to That of Home City
WILLING TO ASSIST FIGHT
Detroit Man Will Accept Place
on Senate District Commit
tee If Citizens Here Desire

"The street car fare in Detroit is
cents. There is no reason why it
should be higher in Washington"
With this statement, made barely
five hours after he had taken the
oath of office as junior member of
the Senate from Michigan, Senator
James Couzens yesterday aligned
himself with those citizens of the
District who are fighting for re-
duced street railway fares.
IMPOSITION ON PEOPLE.
The newly-seated Senator was
positive in his views regarding rail-
way conditions in Washington.
That the fares are excessive and
are an unwarranted tax upon the
people of the Capital. he regards as
beyond question.
Compared with Detroit, in which
city he served as mayor and
brought about a scent car fare
through city ownership. Couzens be-
lieves that the service in Washing
ton is decidedly inferior. While the
service on the lines of one COM
pany compares favorably with De-
troit. the Scent fare and the pre-
vention of competition. he believes,
are unnecessary.
SURPRISED AT SYSTEM.
Evincing particular interest in the
relationship between the Capital
Traction and the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company. Couzens
expressed surprise that the Public
Utilities Commission should allow
one company to earn excessive divi-
dends In order to guarantee a nor
NAL earning to the other.
The ruling which permits both
companies to charge an Scent fare
as a means of guaranteeing per
cent to the w. r. & E Co., while
allowing the Capital Traction. to
earn as high as 10 and IL per cent.
he looks upon as a subject for i'm.
mediate investigation.
when such a situation exists it
is time to look for the nigger in the
woodpile,' Senator Couzens de.
clared.
GLAD TO SERVE.
A few minutes before, Senator
lCouzens expressed qualification at
the welcome accorded him by Dis.
trict people upon his arrival here
Questioned regarding his attitude
toward accepting a position on the
Senate District Committee, he said
he would be glad to serve provided
the people of Washington gave evi.
dence of wanting him.
The demand for the new Senator
as a member of the District Com
mittee. sponsored first by the Wash
ington Herald Immediately after his
appointment. has grown more pro
nounced each day. Both the Com.
mittee on Committees and the Sen
ate District Committee have been
flooded with letters and petitions
indorsing him for the position.
While Couzens has had no intima
tion from the Committee on Com
mittees as to what his assignment
will be. he expects to learn at least
a few Of them today. In view OF
the city-wide demand it is gener
ally believed that he will be given
a place on the District Committee

FIGURE OUT DAIRY RAr,oNs
Of Value and Cost Of Various
Feeds Available.

A series of 20 dairy feeding schools
were conducted during the spring
months In six New Hampshire coun-
ties by county agents, working coop
eratively with the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural college. Seven more are
planned. In carrying out these schools
lecturing and formal talk have been
practically eliminated and the dairy
men are seated at tables. where they
figure out for themselves the compo
sition Of various rations and compute
costs. Much enthusiasm has been
aroused.
That the results are worth while is
indicated by the statement Of Hook
sett farmer. who reported a saving Of
81 day, while another who attended
the school at Warner wrote the coun-
ty agent that he Is now saving S86 a
month as result Of feeding ra-
tion that he figured out there. The
discussion provoked by the farmers
figuring these rations gives a better
understanding Of the value and cost
oS the various feeds available than
any amount Of lecturing could posi-
bly, accomplish.
