With Congress drawing to close,
leaders are seeking hints as to the
attitude of the President on major
measures. Word from the White
House that the veto will be attached
to certain bills presents new problems
for the proponents. There is no dis
position on the part of a goodly num-
Der to override the veto, surely not
before the primaries. Hence the
steady march of legislators to the Ex-
ecutive Mansion seeking to sell their
plans to the Man with the Veto.

words were written by Fern Pesheck
and Nellie Wakefield. The following
is copy of the song.
Our Senior High and our classmates
From whom we are to part
And today we bring and before you
sing
Of our class of twenty-siX.
With tears our eyes are filling fast,
Yes, tears that all may see
Our class of youth, our class of
truth
Our class of twenty-six.
Oh! purple and gold are our class
And the violet is our flower.
With woe each heart sees US depart
Our class of twenty-six.
The class that ever leads the van
Whose courage naught abates.
Our class of youth, our class of truth
Our class of twenty-six.
Chorus
Oh! Hip, Hip, hurrah for our class o:
twenty-siX-
Our own dear Senior class.
The time has come when we have t,
part
From this dear old High of ours.
We love every one of this class O.

With whom we've fought for fame.
The class of this song is the clas
where we belong.

At first the wheat market displayed
a downward trend with May especially

port business at Winnipeg. together
with signs of enlarged flour trade at
Minneapolis, added to the strengthen

conditions in Great Britain.
Approaches to a strike settlement
were taken here as implying probable
increased European demand. Under
such conditions. trade short of wheat
to deliver on May contracts became
active buyers. whereas earlier in the
day disposition to sell May was in
evidence. This selling of May was
mostly due to talk of further wheat
shipments soon from Kansas City to
Chicag go and was also ascribed to no.
tice that hereafter a daily report to the
government would be required on each
open account in May wheat exceeding
100a000 bushels. The previous mini

Cool weather combined with the de-

Frost was regarded as probable to-

prices were steadied by the low tenn

PL AN IS
FOR FIVE CENT
GAR FARE

Al scent street car fare IN the Dis
trict Of Columbia IS possible under
Government ownership and operation
Of the two traction companies.
This fact is shown BY figures sub
nitted to the Senate District COM
naittee today by Major W. 2. r..
'6scveH, Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner or the District.
The scent fare is possible under
Government operation or-as an
alternating proposition-<ne lending
Of the city's credit to the two trac-
ton companies, which would permit
them to obtain money at rate not
to exceed 4 per cent.
Boiled down. Major Coyells fig
ures are based upon the following
data:
The market value of the outstand-
ing shares Of the Capital Traction
Company, the washington Railway
and Electric Company and the Pc.
tonac Electric Power Company is
S65. OO0. 900. A per cent return
upon this market value is $1,000. 900.
Major CoYeu excludes from his COM
putation all considerations OF physi-
cal valuation or fair value.
Using this $2,G00,000 as the 4
per cent interest which the Federal
Government would have to pay for
the money it borrowed with which
to purchase the outstanding stocks
and bonds of the companies, Major
Coyell then consolidated the corpo-
rations at an estimated saving in
operating expenses Of $4,000 an
nually.
$500 Surplus Seen
On this basis, at flat scent rate
of fare, and with the electric tight
rates unchanged, the corporations
would make the required per cent
return and also accumulate, $500
surplus in addition.
The scent fare. however, would
not provide any sinking fund with
which the stocks and bonds of the
corporations could be retired, so that
the District government could own
the lines without incumbrance.
