Handle the Depreciation

The New York Telephone Company,
III its depreciation account for 1921,
collected from subscribers S1S,S2i ,592
moro than was required to provide
properly for depreciation Of its prop,
erty, according to the testimony yes
terday of J. G. Wray, consulting engi-
neer employed by the city, at the re
sumption Of the hearing before the
Public Service Commission on the ap-
plicaton Of the city to reduce telephone
rates.
The total depreciation reserve 1or
property IN New York City alone. as Of
December IL 1921. according to Mr.
Wray, was S45.377.e76, when it should
have been S27.o56.3s4. This reserve
appearing on the companl's books, he
said was $50 per cent Of tho book
cost of the property on that date.
Mr. Wray presented figures to show
that for 1921 alone the company
charged IN its expenses for deprecia-
tion S2,124,061 i'm excess Of actual re-
quirements. The companys charge for
this account, he said was at the rate Of
567 per cent on the book cost OF it's
depreciable property of Si22,490,T74,
whereas the city expert claimed & lower
per cent was required Book cost of the
telephone companY's property as of De
cember 81, 1921. the witness said, had
amounted to Sl4G, i6S, ,962, from S69,
100 422 III 1914.
NJ. Maldvir Tcrtig, Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel. contendod that the moro
than SIS 900 600 excess the company was
charging for depreciation had accumu-
lated through high telephone rates
Mr.. Wrav testified that the deprecia-
tion figure set by the company for the
year 1927 was >s.94s ,SS7 at the rate Of
a67 per cent, whereas the city claims
the figure should be S4,S24,S23, and tina
rate should be 3.94 per cent. Further
claim was made by TIE city that if this
394 percentage is used, large savings
to the telephone user will result, and
the alleged excess reserve already &C
crtnulated by the company viii in a few
years be reduced TO reasonable proper
siuns, and the actual depreciation of the
property still be adequately provided
for.
Commissioners Charles G. Blakeslee,
Of Binghamton. and William Il. Pooley,
Of Buffalo conducted the hearing yes
terday, and Frandland Briggs appeared
as counsel Tor the telephone company.
{. G. Hill, one Of Nh Wray's assistants,
occupied the afternoon session with de
tailed explanation OF the methods by
which the city experts arrived at the
depreciation figures. At the request of
the city Adjournment was taken until

Radio Show Draws
$500 During Day
OF Spcech-Ma
General Electric Official and
Cooley Heard; New Rec
ord Is Expected in Code
Speed Contest Tonight
By Jack Binns
Radio Editor of THE Tribune

Nduf0 EUttof or Inc 1Tt0UNc
The second day of the Radio Show III
the Hotel Pennsylvania wildly por-
trayed the remarkable hold that the
fascinating art Of broadcasting by
means of wireless has upon the general
public. Ii seemed yesterday as though
all New York was trying to get into
the spacious roof garden TO see the
latest developments Of the twentieth
century wonder.
All records for attendance were bro
ken, and during the afternoon moro
persons entered the show than there
were during the whole week last year.
The broadcasting Of entertainment by
radio has undoubtedly filled long-fclt
need and radio has now taken its place
as public utility.
More than $500 attended the show
yesterday. which is S35 moro than at
tended during the entire week last
year. 1t is especially noticeable the
number of young persons who are
there, taking intelligent interest in the
demonstrations of the various radio
apparatus.
In addition to the several exhibit, rs
yesterday. there were talks by W. G.
White. of The General Electric Com
pany and Paul L. Cooley, who in Ar
drossan. Scotland. last year received
the first transatlantic message sent
from this country by radio amateurs
with low-powered transmitting ap-
paratus.
Tonight will begin the free-for-all
preliminary code speed contest, which
was won last year by B. G. Seui.er.
with a score Of 4S SIS words minute,
with two Typographical errors. 1t is
expected, however, owing to the N
creased interest in radio, that this
years winner will have TO do cousiG-
erably better than that

 But in wealth of land and minerals, the openings for more population, the posslblll ties of business the inducements to pio- neer investors and the promise of large rewards for legitimate enterprise, Mexico does not yield to any, or all, of them.
 Nor if we leave out Germany, is the pros- pect held out to American business by all Central Europe half promising as would be that held out by Mexico, if the United States would only cease handling Mexican affairs from a purely political or even academic viewpoint.
 What most Mexicans apparently want in their relations with the United States is recognized independence and business rela- tions.
 This is not commercial article If it were, the figures of an increasing trade with Mexico would be given and the wealth Of Mexico would be tabulated.
 This is merely a plea in favor of the Am erican Governments giving American busi- ness a chance in one of the richest business fields that the world affords today to Ameri- can industry and commerce.
 How can the Amercan Government do this? By devoting to the Mexican question about one-tenth the zeal and goodwill that it devotes to the affairs of France and Eng
  Central Europe
 It is not only commonly reported, but commonly agreed, that the hope of American business in Mexico hangs on the recognition of President Obregon by the Government in Washington.
 It would be difficult to find a man ac- quainted with Mexican affairs who does not say that the only choice is between Obregon and the deluge-Obregon and the present peace on the side, and revolution and business ruin the other.
 So come to the question of the polit- ical recognition of the Mexican Government by the United States.
 "One should visit Mexico in order to fully appreciate how valuable her friendship is to us," said Judge Gary after his return from the Mexican capital. True enough!
 Why then does not the Washington Gov ernment spare for Mexico, who may be made our busness friend, a little of the time and zeal that it devotes, say, to England who is our business rival in all parts of the world?
 The business friendship of Mexico is for us second in importance only to the business friendship of East Asia. Under the circum stances, it may become equally important.
 If prosperity, not politics. is our aim, why not deserve and win it?

Publicity at the Conference.
Chicago Tribune. )

Chicago Trlbune)
 We were never among those who think negotiations between nations should be carried in hall to which any crank demagogue mischief maker may find admission The first stages of negotiation, the feints parries the inevitable tactics of eXperi- ment and of compromise, must take place in private. privacy could be assured at this stage, negotia tion could not begin
 But publicity is the most formidable weapon of the honest negotiator. There crises Paris when if it had been fearessy resorted to benecent results would almost certainly have followed. This when the parties had worked out their respective positions and come to final issues.
 Another most striking of publicity the masterful opening of the conference with the Hughes plan With powerful gesture it put the confer the firm footing of realities It saved it from early disntegration in wash of rhetoric and dplo- matic finesse.
 But there is good reason fear that dplo- matic tradition may be reassertng its influence There is need for reticence the Chinese situation, but trust it will not be carried far Our represen- tatves, if they would keep out of the mischief wrought at Paris behind closed doors, should keep their best weapon at hand and never fear to it..

FRENCH INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS
 SEEING THINGS.

Paris sees a great Ane..can victory in the four party treaty concerning the Pacific Islands Accord ing to American correspondents there the French con tend that practically the only thing achieved in con- nection with the treaty the abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese treaty, which they think nimical to American interests
 It is contended that French international experts believe they see a very strong tendency toward the development of understanding, at least, among the United States Great Britain and the British Domnions In support of this belief they point to the fact that the English speaking peoples working unit at the Washington Conference and in many other matters.
 This position of Paris experts is significant if con- sdered connection with the representations of dele gates from the Eastern Republic that France and Japan are getting closer and closer together par ticularly at least far the Siberian question is ! concerned.

Putting It Up to Hoover.
(Pacific Fisherman. )

In a recent issue. Sunset Magazine editorially commented the depletion of the Puget Sound Sockeye run, and the necessity of suspension oi fishing for a number of years, making the following statement to the situation in Alaska:
 ''rhe Alaska salmon is panting right behind the Sockeye on it's way to oblivion. Leaders among the Alaska packers know that their heavy investments in canneries, traps boat and supplies will become prac tieally worthless in short time if present fishing methods continue, but the blind pressure of compet ion forces them to go regardless of consequences If the industry is to be preserved and placed permanent basis, a strong hard hand has to take charge make the needed regulations and that enforced vigorously
 'The effect of wise regulation of fishing methods is strkingly demonstrated the Columbia River where salmon canning began in 1866 Twenty years later the packers and fishermen declared that "fshed out" that the equipment might as well be moved elsewhere. But few of the packers thought otherwise. They brought about legislative restric- tions fishing which enforced because both Oregon and Washington interests kept jealous watch another. And the packers with their own money built hatcheres which performed the most effective and advanced fish propagation work in the country resulting in the restoration of the salmon supply.
 But this supply is threatened again Though the Columbia itself is thoroughly regulated the de- yelopment of power boats and power-operated gear has enabled the fishermen to go out sea- there not only to intercept the salmon schools ready to enter the river but to catch without distinction without limit regulation large numbers of immature salmon.
 This deepsea salmon fishing is a new and dan gerous which not be met by state laws. As in Alaska, the high the Pacific Coast only the power of the United States Government can be successfully invoked to and perpetuate the salmon, and in the Federal Government it is the strong hand of Herbert Hoover that do the work
 Hoover is Westerner. What better monument could he for himself than the gratitude of the Pacific Coast for preserving of its great re- sources?"
