S3.13COAL CHARGE
/ HELD SUBNORMAL
Railroad Agent Says Rate
, From West Virginia
Should Be $3.50.

The rate of 1913 from the New
River coal fields of West Virginia to
Washington for Baltimore and Ohio
deliveries is a depressed rate and is
subnormal, and rate of $3.50 per
gross ton to Washington should be
established to bring the rate up to
the $3.50 tariff now in effect to Alex
andria Junction. Md, G. b. Asher.
coal freight agent for the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, testified yester-
day before an Interstate Commerce
Commission examiner.
Mr.. ASher'S testimony came on the
third and final days hearing Of
complaint by the Potomac Electric
Power Co. against several railroads
alleging the existence of unreasonable
rates to Washington and proposing
that the $3.13 rate be reduced to $2.s4
per gross ton. Previous witnesses, IN
cluding L. f. Sinclair. superintendent
of the power company. have testified
as to the unreasonablenees Of the S3lS
rate. > Mr.. Sinclair said the 29-cent
differential between the two rates cost
the company $7l 900 a year, some ot
which would be returned to light and
power consumers In the Capital If the
lower rate were established.
Declaring that the $3.13 rate on
New River coal has already resulted
in an increased amount of that coal
displacing other Goals in the Washing
ton market, Mr. Asher said the rate
if Vaintaine would eventually drive
Baltimore and Ohio coal from the
local market
On rosS-examination he testified
that the average return to the Balt'
more and Ohio from its coal hauling
business is $40 mills per ton; that
the return under the $2.S4 rate is
6.66 mills and under the $3.13 rate
is 7.35 mills per ton mile. Even
though the return under the two
rates was shown to be above the
average. return occurring to the rail-
road on its average haul, Mr.. Asher
testified as a rate expert that the
rate is sub-normal. He said a rate
Of 500. which is now applicable to
Alexan lria Junction, Nd, would be
a more proper rate for the Washing
ton district. The $3.13 rate has been
a matter of serious concern to the
B. & O., Mr. Asher said, declaring
that should the $2.S4 rate be extended
to Baltimore and Ohio delivery, it
would result in a demand for rate
reductionsSIrom shippers in, the Cum
berla nd Piedmont -Myersdale coal re-
gions. "If we were to reduce the
rate from these regions" Mr.. Asher
testified, Sin my opinion the whole
east bound rate structure would top

for both sides will he submitted by
counsel and intervenors and a tenta-
tive decision given in a few months

ANNUAL REPORTS
Herbert Brown, Chief of Ef-
ficiency Bureau, Makes
recommendations.

Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Blu
reau of Efficiency, in his annual report
recommends that SS reports to Con-
gress be discontinued. The recon-
mendation was made following a
study, at the request of the chairman
tions, he said, into reports made to
Congress as listed in House Document
No. 101.
Not only did Mr.. Brown recommend
that S8 reports be discontinued. but
that, in the document in question, 81
references to obsolete reports and 62
duplicate references be eliminated
from future issues of the document.
The report also recommended the
Capitalization of all non-administra-
tive statistics, the Bureau of the
Census. This. he said, would no doubt
result in economy in the collection of
the original data, improvement in the
output and better distribution Of
the completed product.
1.-THE bureau or Office having i'm.
mediate interest in statistics covering
any particular activity" he said,
would he called on to assist the
Census Bureau in preparing sched
ules. determining the scope of the in
quiry and planning the arrangement
Of the completed product"
Among large number of inquiries
into methods used in the Government
service, Mr.. Brown said recon-
mendation had been made on the pro.
hibition unit containing a number of
important recommendations proposing
to strengthen the existing organiza-
tion Of the unit and to consolidate in
it all supervision of field activities"
Among District of Columbia in
quiries reported were those into the
office of inspector of asphalts and ce-
ments, board of public welfare. Offices
of recorder of deeds and register of
wills and the Police Court. Recon-
mendations were submitted for i'm.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 - up - An ir-
regularly higher movement Of stock
prices, a firm bond market, lower time
money rates, steadiness of cotton fu-
lures in the face of another sharp up
ward revision of the government crop
estimate, and brisk rally in French
francs were the high lights of Thanks
giving week in the financial and COM
modify markets.
While the buying of stocks was of a
selective character, it appeared to be
largely for the account of pools, who
were plentifulIy supplied with funds
and had advance knowledge of special
developments to come.
The marking up of the call money
rate to per cent was generally re-
garded as temporary and due largely
to the heavy withdrawal of funds in
preparation for month-end settlements
The relative ease of time money led to
hopes in some banking quarters that
the New York federal reserve redis-
count rate would be cut before the end
of the wear.

Dodge Brothers Announce
y Large Increase In Sales

During the week ended November g.,
Dodge Brothers dealers in the United
States alone delivered 1855 new motor
cars and trucks at retail, according
to word received by the Stafford-Al-
berts Automobile Co., Inc, local Dodge
dealers.
Compared with the previous week
this year, the gain is 43 per cent and
compared with the week ended NoVem-
Der Z last year, the gain is 81 per cent.
That factory production is being sue
cessfully marketed by the dealer or
ganization and no excessive stocks
have been accumulated is clearly shown
by the fact that new cars on dealers
hands and in transit are now only
3O.7 per cent larger than at the same
time last year despite the fact tha'
retail deliveries to date this year oy
Dodge Brothers dealers in the United
States are over SO per cent ahead OF
last year.

that American cars pay heavy operat-
ing taxes.
''These handicaps lend added signifi-
canoe to the sales record made by the
Erskine six, the new 1-S litre Stude-
baker product first shown at the Paris
salon. During the progress of the
show. more than 1900 orders were
booked for delivery as soon as possible
While the Erskine six is unique in that
it combines American standards of
performance and the European STAN
dard of economy, this sales record is
nevertheless an encouraging omen of a
larger and better business for all
American cars. American manufactu-
rers lead the world in the production
of quality cars at low prices. AS Eu-
rope becomes more prosperous, the de-
mand for quality cars will increase
and it is probable that in this field
America can secure a large share of
the business in spite of tariff barriers
and high taxation"

"The government of the people never

pie" and you cannot substitute the
authority of law for the virtue Of

"Stabilzing and strengthening men
through the preaching of Christian
virtues is the contribution which the
Christian church has to make to a.
period characterized by many and
strange doctrines. Our generation has
witnessed many and far-reaching
changes that have effected, for good or
i'll, the church itself. With lust for
haste and a passion for change, various
methods and agencies have been called
into being, to be tried and then super
ceded by others that seemed more
adaptable to twentieth century needs.
mo one is disposed to dispute the
wisdom of some of these newer aspects
of the church's life and it's activities.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. 81. = up = Wheat
moved downward in price today owing
largely both to Argentine reports of
better weather and to pressure of Ca
madam supplies. Closing quotations
here for wheat were heavy. 7s cent to
2h cents net lower, with corn n cent
to u cent up, oats 1s cent to u cent
off, and provisions varying from 10
cents decline to 25 cents advance.
Most of the setback in wheat values
came during rush of selling which
took place right at the opening. The
reports of improved weather condi-
tions for the crops in Argentina were
accompanied by an unprecedented drop
in quotations at Liverpool and Buenos
Aires and were further emphasized by
word that wheat yields in Santa Fe
and Cordoba provinces, Argentina, are
turning out decidedly above average
volume, with quality excellent. 1t was
noted, however, that the status of the
crop in Pampas province, Argentina
nearly 3,O00,OOO acres, is bad.
Heavy offerings of Canadian wheat
at Liverpool were reported and this
fact, together with much reduced
prices for low grade wheat at Winni-
peg, counted as a general depressing
influence.
Meanwhile, export demand today for
wheat from North America was only
moderate and but little attention was
given to news that late threshing re-
turns in Australia are below predlc-
tions, so much so that the total Aus
tralian wheat crop is now estimated
at 14O, 900, 900 bushels, cut of 10000
900 bushels from the most recent pre-
vious forecast.
Corn displayed relative strength to-
day, especially toward the last. Un-
favorable weather was the chief fac
tor Oats were draggy, influenced by
wheat weakness.
Provisions were firmer early, in line
with hogs, but the gains failed to hold

EUROPE LEANS TOWARD
u. S. AUTO STANDARDS,
SAYS PAUL G. HOFFMAN

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 27.-Signifi-
cant changes in European motoring
conditions, which have presaged a new
era for American motor cars on the
continent, were outlined by Paul G..
Hoffman, vice-president of the Stude-
baker corporation of America on his
return last week from the Paris salon.
Europe has it's eyes turned towards
America" said Hoffman. continental
drivers are demanding American stan
dards of performance. They want
economy, but they have been impressed
with the superior smoothness, power
and comfort of the American automo-
biles and to attain these standards
! they are swinging from four to six
cylinder cars in unmstakable fashion,
european manufacturers have
s nsed this desire for better motor cars
and are offering wide variety of new
| six cylinder models France alone in
! this salon showed 3S six-cylinder cars.
Ballot, Delage, Donnet, Renault, Tai
| bot, Minerva and Fiat have all added
small six cylinder cars to their lines
this year. The extent to which Ameri-
can manufacturers can sell their pro-
ducts in Europe is, of course, proble-
matical. American cars, entering
France have to pay a total of 63 per
cent duty on landed cost, which is
based on the American price plus
freight, insurance and boxing. The
result is, the American cars must be
sold at very high prices. The Stude-
| baker big six president" which sells
in America for SPAS, delivers in Paris
