Repre- entative Ralph Gilbert, of
Kentucky, continued his attack on
the s50.900,000 merger valuation
in the hearing before the House
District Commute today.
Peoples Council Ralph B. Fleharty
defended the valuation and the mer-
gre f.iansn-and answered several
inquiries as to- his qualifications
to hold the office of Peoples coun-
eel.
When the hearing opened William
Nick. Clayton, chairman of the pub

era ton of Citizens Associations. re.
turned to the stand for brief
statement in application OF his
testimony of Yesterday.
Clayton reiterated that the pro
poEed capitalization of the merged
company is in violation of the pub
JIG utilities act and includes
watered stock issue Of $7.000.0 900.
He also declared that one of the
reasons why the Washington Rapid
Transit Company is not to be in
cluded in merger, but is 20 1e
bought by the merged companies.
is to escape a A per cent tax on
gross receipts.
When Fieharty took the stand he
read a prepared statement outlining
his reasons for approving the
merger plans.
The trend of his statement was
that Washington has always been
DESTROYS OF merger and, believing
thta it would he illegal to force a
merger, he had accepted the com
panies' plans because he thought it
L. L l. i
Citizens Opposed
He admitted that when he sought
the advice of citizens associations
he found most of them opposed to
the merger.
Gilbert asked F'leharty why the
companies insisted on vaIua ton
Of S50,000,000 for 10 years when
they claim they could get higher
rate base under new valuation.
Fleharty said that they had
agreed, to the valuation as a base

bert indicated that he did not !think
that the reply was satisfactory.
Gilbert asked Fleharty to exs
plain why the common stock Of
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company had risen 500 per
cent since the North American
Company acquired a large portion
Of it, when the earnings had in.
creased only about 200 per cent.
The peoples counsel said he was
unable to explain that. Il must
confess that ! have not followed
that closely" he said.
Gilbert announced that he
thought the merger should omit a
fixed valuation.
Gilbert and Representative Frank
Reid Of Illinois asked Fleharty
about including in the plans a pro.
vision for half fares for school
children and provision for arbitra
ton In labor disputes.
Fleharty said that he thought

President John u. Hanna, Of the
Capital Traction Company. how the
companies stood on those questions.
Hanna said that as far as the
Capital Traction Company is con-
cerned there was no objection to
providing in the plans that the Pub
lie Utilities Commission could order
such fares for school children.
He said that he personally OPP
posed it. but that it was a matter
for the Commission to decide.
During crOss-exa mination by Rep

that in his opinion the companies

Reid stated that he was willing to

The exhibit, that will be sent from
Sheridan County will be somewhat
different from those sent in the past,
n that it will be of strictly adver-
Using nature for Sheridan County.
County Agent, Ferguson who is in
charge of the exhibit with the assis-
tance of Mr.. Steve Sleight and Mr..
Harry DeSilva are working on de-
signs that will advertise two of Sheri-
dan County's major crops, namely:
spring wheat and flax. The last five
years Sheridan County ranked first
in comparison with all other counties
IN the state in the production of flax.
For the past two years it ranked

wheat Mr. Ferguson is capitalizing
IN these facts and these two crops
will be the feature of the state fair
exhibit. The plans for this exhibit
were worked out early in the summer
and submitted to several authorities
on display work in the state and il
was their opinion that such an EXHIBIT
would be of an excellent advertising
scheme for Sheridan County. The
entire collection will be brought back
from Helena and will be placed OF
exhibit at the Sheridan County
Fair which will be held from October
