MCCLELLAN PRESSES FOR
PROMPT ACTION UPON
HIS FIVE-CENT FARE BILL
Continued from First Page,

three quarters OF them, could have
been retired at par. Is II possible
that Congress is going TO permit the
people to be compelled to pay inter
est for the rest Of time on the water
in these bonds? Suppose they had in
financing this company placed the
value of these bonds at $4,000. 600
or $4,000, 900 instead OF $4,000, goo:
there would have been no relief fuI
the people"
Senator Ball suggested that the
s4.0o0.0 900 of bonds to which Senator
NcKellar was referring had not been
included in fixing the rates of street
car fares by the Public Utilities Com
mission, but Senator MCkel1ar i'm
mediately demurred to this. He pro-
Eceeded to read to the com mittee many
of the claims which the report of the
utilities commission showed had been
made by the Capital Traction Com
pany when the commission was fixing
the value of the company's property
He referred to claim of $685., 900
for early losses of the Rock Creek
Railway Company" on the assumption
that the Rock Creek Railway Com
pany should have earned s per cent
in the period 1s92-95. and. as a mat
ter of fact. had lost $4,000. Senator
Mcclellan declared that they had no
right to attempt to make the people
pay the interest on their losses.
Reads Other Claims.
Senator Ball wanted to know if the
report didn't show that these claims
were not allowed by the commission
and he continued: IF the Public
Utilities Commission valuation is
used in fixing rates OF fare, and these
claims were not allowed, they can
have no bearing on this matter"
After reading other claims for
abandoned material and for expired
patents. Senator McKellar said:
apparently this company dragged
through a fine tooth comb and included
all the claims 1t could, even to profits
which it said should be allowed
Senator Copeland said that he
owned a farm in New York on which
he lost about $4,000 q year. He
lowed to include that loss in the
value.
Sees Change Aiding Line.
Senator McKellar replied that ap-
parently he should do so, and added
all you have to do is to get Congress
to allow you to make such q valua-
tion." Senator Mckellar referred to
| the claim allowed because of the
change from the old cable system to
| the underground trolley system Sen
ator Ball called attention to the fact
that Congress had ordered a change
| in the system. Senator McKellar
said, however, that the change had
really been in the interest of the
company. enabling it to give better
service Another claim mentioned
| by Senator McKellar was for the
! destruction by fire Of the old cable
power house.
why should the company pay in
surance against fire." said Senator
McKeIlar. "if it can get Congress to
10. K. such a claim? At this point
! Senator Ball insisted that Senator
McKellar should find out whether
these claims were allowed by the
commission and also whether they
have been considered In making the
rates on street car fares or not.

Outlook Bright

The business outlook is very
promising.
The attitude of the business eon-

the stock market, increased COM
n1odity-buying and the genera ex-
preston of confidence since the
election. The prevalent feeling
therefore, the world over is that
better times are coming everywhere
and nothing will do more than this
to bring them.
The disorganized state of indus
try in Europe since the war has af
fected trade between that continent
and the rest of the world, with the
result that the price of farm pre-
ducts and raw materials have been
depressed and the purchasing pow
er Of great numbers of people re-
duced. This has been The sore SPOT
in the United States, but the rise of
farm products since last June has
gone long way toward relieving it.
Ten Years ago people we're asking
If it would take ten years for agri-
culture to get back into norma re-
latlons with the other industries.
and then within ten weeks the thing
was done, and by a simple natural
readjustment of the relations be-
tween supply and demand. 1t is evil

Local Man Nominated
To Pioneer Board
On Record.

AT the request OF a number of the
water users OF the Pioneer Irrigation
District, Joe Dickens has agreed to
permit his name to be used as a can
cidaie director from the third pre-
cinct.
Patrons of the district in 1909 and
later will remember that lac served
in that capacity from the frst pre-
cinct for two thrce-year terms. and
helped to work out a financial plan
that established the credit OF the dis
irict on \ sound basis so that its war
rants were accepted at par and old
construction and maintenance war
rants, long outstanding. were redeem
cd at face value with interest.
Also. il was during his term of
Office that plan for drainage and
an additional water supply. was devcl-
oped and an equitable distribution
OF the cost thereof apporiioned to
the lands. By many this was re-
rarded as impossible. while others
predicted that it could not be accom-
plished without almost endless liti-
CATION; yet. so careful. thorough and
painstaking was the work of he dir
cctors in this matter, that not single
protested case was taken to court.
Furthermore. il was during this
six-year period that the Distrie.
charges were at their lowest. nos
wthstanding the fact that almost
$4,000 was paid on the original
bonded Indebtedness and nearly that
much on old outstanding warrants.
While Mr. Dickens WAS member
OF tho board OF directors. the dis
trict took over the maintenance and
operation OF number OF the larger
laterals that had previously beca
maintained and operated by the users
at thor own expense in .'ddtion to
their regular District charges: it in
stalled better measuring devices near
the head OF the main canlls per-
manent work at the headings and a
now residence for the headgateman
on the Phyllis.
1t is the recollection of these ac-
complishments that has caused 81
many OF the water users 10 insist
that Mr.. Dickens shall get in and
help out again at this time.
