The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-12

Never before have such blessings
been showered indiscriminately upon
the deserving. The illusions of paci-
fism, humanitarianism, christianism,
vegetarianism, are all consolidated in
to one vast and dazzling panorama
by the magic wand of glittering gold
held by the agents of Morgan. All
the discordant notes of people and
sects formerly regarded as queer"
are, by the same necromancy, merged
into one vast dithyrambic to the
dawn of world peace that only awaits
the act of the United States entering
the world court
Most Not Spoil Graft.
CURELY no one who sympathizes
~ with the self-appointed saviors and
up-lifters could expect the eminent
seators sojourning Iin the cave of the
winds at Washington to interfere with
the idyllic performance by exposing
the motive force fsbehind the whole
works IS
Then there is ghe personal graft
of the senators involved. How dc
they know they will come back to
the senate after this term? One
would be base American indeed who
would not seize the opportunity to
provide comfortably for the family
and the coming generations that will
carry the illustrious names of today's
statesmen down the ages. S it not
the essence of Afnericanism to pro
vide for the familyg Who would be
so base as to deny this right to the
statesmen of our day? People who
question the benevolent role of Nor
gan in this affair are striking at the
very foundation Of the family. By
questioning the motives of the gentle
retiring, sanity ministers of the gos
pei one strikes at the foundations O.
religion. At all costs and in spite
of everything these institutions mus
be preserved.
What difference does it make wher,
the money comes from? If it is
tainted its use to get the United
States into the world court will puri
/ fly it.
Not Opposed In Principle.
THE stalwart senators who opposed
4 the investigation of the source o
funds to corrupt the nation into the
world court have not abandoned tht
business of Investigations. They are
in favor of Investigations in principle
but object to this particular one.
1t is noteworthy that many of those
senators who have formerly assailet
the vanguard of the working class
the Communists, with the most vitrio
lie and mendacious charges of being
bribed by foreign gold should be pre-
cisely the ones who holly resent al
investigation of the islush fund useC
in the most fragrant campaign of cor
ruption ever perpetEated in history.
While we know such an investiga
ton would leave unhung the scoun
drels involved. it would shed ligh
upon the workingssiOf the capitals
propaganda machines and expose thu
venality of the pacifists and othe
phrase-mongers in the service of i'm
perialism. This government dare no
do anything to pflory the CRATER
and corruptionistsa because the gov
eminent itself is the agent of thu

Claims StiII Being Paid
The compromise decree provided

consumers after $500,O00 had been
deducted for franchise taxes and
Federal income taxes due by the
electric company.

was constant litigation before the
courts in which the irnpounded fund
was involved.
In 1917 the Public Utilities Com.
mission completed b valuation Of
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany and on the basis Of this val
uation ordered reduction Of cleo
tric rates from 10 to cents per
kilowatt hour.
Immediately the electric company
sought and obtained an Injunction
preventing the new rates becoming
effective, attacking them on the
ground that the rates were based
on a valuation which was erroneous.
The company also filed suit to com.
pei revision Of the valuation to q
much higher figure.
In granting a temporary injunc-
ton to be effective until settlement
Of the valuation case, the court de-
creed that the company continue to
collect 10 cents per kilowatt hour
for electric current and to impound
2 cents, this being the amount Of
the reduction which was ordered.
In 1913, a decision was handed
down in the District Supreme Court
affirming the valuation established
by the Public Utilities Commission.
This decision, if allowed to stand,
would probably have resulted In
the sustaining Of the lower electric
rate ordered by the Commission.
Went to Appeals Court
The electric company then went
to the Court of Appeals, objecting
to the Supreme Courts decision.
This court reversed the lower court
and sent the case back with the
object of having the valuation re-
vised.
It was while the case was III the
lower court that the compromise
agreement was reached. The if1s
pounded fund had reached 6,388.s
445.54. Under the compromise dee
cree the fair value OF the electric
company's property was established
at $32 500, 900. It was further pro-
vided that the rate for electric cur.
rent should be based upon turn
OF 7A per cent on the above-narned
valuation, plus estimated cost Of
additions, undepreciated and weight

was ever made by the Commission

Davis attacks the legality OF the
compronaise agreement reached last
year between the Public Utilities
Commission and the electric COM
pany. BY this agreement an iIn-
pounded fund of $6,888, ,445.54 was
ordered divided between the cleo.
trfc company and consumers OF
electricity.
Denies Courts Authority
s-The order Of said compromise.
complains Davis petition. was
void in that the court was without
authority to sign any valid decres
affecting moneys belonging to your
petitioner In cause in which 40
was not named party litigant. =
Davis, the petition shows, was
paid SAG as his share Of the inn
pounded fund. He now seeks to
obtain $40 additional, declaring that
his total share In the fund was $78.
The petition asks the court for
permission to file an intervening
petition; to vacate and declare the
compromise agreement of no force
and affect; that the case be re-
ihstated for trial and that the
court order the electric company
to pay such awards due him.
Cites Appeals Decision
Reviewing the litigation over the
impounded fund, Davis declares
that on December 90, 1924, the
Court OF Appeals declared that
the Public Utilities Commission
had not followed the proper pro-
cedure in placing q valuation OH
the electric company and remanded
the case to the District Supreme
Court for the taking Of further
testimony.
Davis declares the lower court
took additional stestiniony And. in
the midst OF these proceedings q
compromise was entered into be.
tween the attorneys for the eIec-
tric company and utilities commits.
sion. II was this agreement which
prog1ded for distribution or the
impounded fund, and established a
new valuation for the company.
The court lacked authority to per-
NIT this compromise agreement,
Davis contends. He points out that
the Supreme Court had aready put
It's stand of approval on another
valuation figure and that the Court
OF Appeals had never reversed the
decision establishing this valuation.
