DR.. Maltbie Ii framing recon-
mendatiOns soon to be submitted to
Senator Capper and his associates
respecting the Harley p. Wilson
merger agreement. Many observers
believe that the report will con
tain pointed criticism Of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission for APP
proving this agreement.
Political Gesture
Under these conditions, the COM
missions action in asking him TO
assist in its proposal valuation is
regarded merely as political ges.
ture. There is little prospect that
the invitation will be accepted.
The Public Utilities Commission
will be under severe fire in the
next session OF Congress, when
the fight for ratification of the
merger agreement will be renewed.
DIR. Maltbie's recommendations will
90 far towards determining the
Senate's attitude on the entire
traction issue. Embarrassment
would come il any Iiaison were
established between Maltbie and
the commission at this time.
Valuation Makeshift
1t was pointed out today that
the valuation the commission now
proposes to make OF the Capital
Traction COMPANY Is tn be on .,
percentage or unit basis. which
would NOT in any way he conclusive
and would not serve as basis for
action in the courts to overthrow
the 1919 valuation. il wogld
Z be OF value only az q temporary
expedient. and would not obviate
the necessity of a thorough-going
valuation at a later date.
Furthermore. the expense of any
type OF valuation would be paid by
the Capital Traction Company under
the law. This probably would place
aIJr. MaItbie in an ANOMALOUS posi-
ton If he should accept the com
missions invitation.

DOG AND CAT FIGHT

The football boys went to Grundy
last Saturday and the only exciting
thing that happened was a dog and
cat fight on the way back. 1t took
place on the Big Ridge between a
big Shepherd dog of the most fer
ocious kind and our own little Eur
Kitten. Eur Kitten" was riding
on the outside of the car, when sud-
denly without warning the canine
brute rushed out of yard and be-
gan barking at the car Then spying
our loving little pet on the fender
at once made leap for him. There
was a medly of ferocious growls,
throaty banks, savage meoWs and
hissings, canine leaps and thrashings
Of kittenish arms. Just in the nick
Of time the "chaufer" speeded up
and the big brute was left behind,
while our little Eur Kitten" lay
painting, exhausted by the battle.
