HOOVER RECORD
AS FARMER AID
Br00khart Scores Peek as Prin.
cipal Villain In Farm Relief \
Program

Conceding that the farm problem
would Be well on its way to Z So
luton BY now Il either major party
had kept its promises. Senator
Smith w. Brookhart Of Iowa told
m audience here last night that
Herbert Hoover stands today ~ the
best friend Of the American farmer.
Reviewing Hoover's record, Brook.
hart said he fought against odds to
maintain agricultural prices during
and immediately after the war, and
that the farmers Of the nation re-
,ceivad the highest price in history
Tor their exportable surplus when
Hoover was handling t.
3 In ~ .pieharss of the -1asslsFelief
situation presented by Bfopkhart
George N. Peek, head Of the corn
belt committee and . supporter Of
Governor Smith, was portrayed as
the principal villain in the farm re-
lief drama. Peek, he said, Is sup
porting Smith In m effort to defeat
Hoover so that, four years hence,
Charles G. Dawes may be the Re-
publican nominee for tho presidency
and defeat Smith. Frank w. MUIR
ply Of Wheaton, Mimi. Brookhart
charged, is . coconspiritor with Peek
in the alleged plot.
The support which certain big
business men have given Governor
Smith, Brookhart said, comes almost
wholly from the gambling element
typified by Chairman Raskob Of the
Democratic party. Although lam
basting Smith with an occasional
jibe, Brookhart turned his heaviest
sarcasm on Raskob, alleging that
he and the clique he represents in
the financial world are trying to
dupe the farmer into supporting
Smith, and ct the same time offer
ing them nothing more tangible upon
which to base their hopes for relief.
Fair Deal Promised
Making scant effort to defend the
record Of the Coolidge administra-
ton, Brookhart emphasized the
point that Herbert Hoover is the
only candidate for the presidency
whose election promises the farmer
q fair deal. Hoover, he slid, has Z
thorough understanding Of the farm
problem and : real sympathy with
the farmers problems. He realizes,
Brookhart said. that unless steps
toward : cure are taken Immediately
the farmer will be reduced within
10 years to . state Of peasantry.
Hoover, he said, will bend every ef-
fort toward preventing such .
disaster.
The speech was the third that the
senator had made in this state in
two days. He addressed gathering
ut Dickinson Monday night, and
after = conference with the Republi-
can committee here yesterday morn
ing he went to Wsshburn.

senator 10 the holder Of . dis
tinguished service record in the

DEFENDS
S50,000,000
VALUATION

Neither side scored very heavily
today, as the merger hearing be-
fore the House District committee
went into the second day.
Lieut.. Col. Harrison Brand, jr.,
of the Public Utilities commission,
was the only witness. He testified
that the $4,000, 900 valuation SET
up in the merger agreement is fair
and said that he had approved the
plan because he believed it would
result in lower fares than con-
tinued dual operation of the local
street cars.
ss-examination of Bra d
brought out the fact that the Court
of Appeals. in valuing the Capital
Traction Company at S26. g00, 900,
had deducted nothing for deprecia-
ton. This decision is the basis on
which the merger valuation is
based.
The public utilities commissioner
listed four reasons why he believed
fares will be lower under a merger.
They were: The $50, OOO,9 valuation,
the economies resulting from Joint
operation, relief of the companies
from inequifable taxes. and the more
efficient use of available facilities,
with accompanying greater patron.
age. - ---T-
Defends $50, OOO, 900 Value
Brand defended the s5O.00e, 600
valuation by declaring that if a
valuation were made today of the
Washington. Railway and Electric
Company, based on the court de-
cIsion in the Capital Traction case,
Il would amount to $50, 900 600,
which, added 10 the Capital Trac-
ton valuation. would amount 10
$56, 600, 900.
Colonel Brand also submitted 10
the committee his personal valua-
ton of the two companies, which
he totaled at $50, 100000. He ar
rived at this total after deducting
$4,000 900 for depreciation of the
w. r. E. properties. which was not
done by the court in the Capital
Traction valua ton.
The value of the properties of
the two companies in Maryland was
estimated by Colonel Brand at
$1,000, 600. instead of the $4,000. 900
claimed by the companies. He
valued the Washington Rapid Tran
sit Company at $500, 900. i'm cOmpari.

QuiZZed on Bachman
Brand admitted that Bachman
knew more about the valuation fig.
ures of the companies than any
other commission employee, but had
not been called. He explained that
Covell had not been asked to testify
because the commission had gotten
Covell's views on the merger and the
valuation before the hearing started
