HARTMAN FLAYS
BOOKKEEPING
METHODS

The bookkeeping methods Of
the Washington Railway and
Electric Company were under
fire today at the car fare in
crease hearing before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission. Com
missioner Harleigh FL. Hart
man told William f. Ham,
president of the company, that
the company s method enabled
it to exact a double profit
from the public.
II don't agree with you," asserted
Ham. There is no duplication here
in any sense or form. For the life
of me, l can't see that there is any.
thing here that Is not absolutely
correct
Hartman continued to press the
traction company head for a fur
ther explanation Of the methods
used in handling the accounts of the
Washington Interurban Company,
a subsidiary Of the Washington Rail.
operates buses on B1adensburg
Road northeast.
Rents Itself Buses
The interburban company rents all
busses used on the line from the
Washington Railway and Electric.
Company. Ham said that his COM
pany charges the interurban COM
pany per cent of the total value
of the busses. plus 10 per cent for
overehad and incidental expenses.
A further charge is made for depre-
citation and insurance, Ham said
The 10 per cent item attracted the
attention of Hartman.
"Is not the 10 per cent item a
duplication of figures introduced in
the Washington Railway and Elec-
tric Company case?" he asked.
Absolutely not" Ham said.
Hartman drew from Ham the
admission that the 10 per cent
charge is made against property
used jointly by the two com.
panies and that it could be
found in the accounts of the
Washington Railway and EIec.
trio Company as well as the
Washington Interurban Com
pany.
" Fails at Conviction
Then how can it help but be
duplication?" asked Hartman.
Ham explained that the item Is
included az revenue in the Wash.
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany accounts, but is offset by an
expense item just as large.
isn't 1t true that you are show
ing 1t as an investemnt once and
claiming It for an investment twice?''
asked Hartman.
mo, sir" replied ham.
"T don't see how you can help
doing that" said Hartman.
'I don't agree with you," answered
Ham.
Ham bristled as he went into q
more detailed explanation of the
accounting methods, but apparently
failed to convince Hartman that
Implications were not made favor
able to the company.
Hartman switched to another
line Of questioning and Ham In
terrupted him, declaring, II am
confident that there il no duplica.
| tion."
Hartman seemed to have salts
fled himself on the question and
did not refer back to it.

"The only conceivable opposition.
to the plan will come from the in
surance companies, McReynolds
said. "Of course the Government
can make such insurance much
cheaper than any company could
for the simple reason that the ad.
ministrative expenses and other
overhead would not be deducted
from the insurance funds. Such
overhead would. [ understand, be
taken care of by appropriations.
Keeps Old Workers
"Such a plan takes care of the
old workers who otherwise would
not be able to get insurance. It
also helps the youngsters in the
service.
"Of course. can not speak for
the rank and file of the Govern
ment workers, but, personally, /
think that the plan is practical and
equitable to the workers and to the
Government"
Other chief clerks and officials
reserved comment until they should
have an opportunity to peruse the
eral such officials said, the plan ap-
pears to be fine, but they pre-
ferred to wait before going into de-
tail.
A plan whereby the Federal Gov
ernment may establish a low rate
group or blanket insurance for its
employees Is expected to be the chief
topic of discussion at an official con-
ference here September 6. The plan
affects every member of the great
army of persons working for the
Government.
The plan, as proposed by Rear
Admiral Rosseau at the meeting of
the New York Federal Business AS
ISOLATION. composed of executives
in charge of the various Federal
offices and departments in and
around New York, has been referred
to board consisting OF IL of the
Government chief clerks in Wash
ington.
Plan Procedure
This board will, after they have
determined whether the plan will
make suggestions as to its adapta.
course of procedure.
In the event that the Govern
rent went into the insurance
business as, suggested it would be
able to place a group policy far
cheaper than any commercial com.
pany 1t was shown. It would do
away with an agents commission.
1t was pointed out. and would
have to pay no heavy overhead
expense.
Legislation Needed
Sentiment regarding the proposal
is expected to be shown shortly.
Necessary legislation would have to
be passed by Congress before the
plan could be effected.
At the meeting of the chief
clerks they will voice the opinion
of their subordinates and il ap.
proved 1t would be passed on to
the heads of the various depart
ments. Then 1t would probably
reach Congress in the form OF
recommendations from the depart.
ment heads.
Another feature that would en-.
able the lowering of the cost of
insurance would be that in most
States no medical examination
would be necessary. An examina-
tion would be required in States
having a law calling for a physi
clans examination. Doing, away
with the physical test would aid in
lowering the cost. 1t was pointed
out.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. II H.N,s.l.--
The probable cotton yield is still a
matter OF doubt among buyers Of
cloths and many manufacturers
Some very good Judges Of past
cotton matters contend that the
yield will be substantially higher
than the Government estimates IN.
dictate, and they are backing up
their judgment now by refusing t.
buy cotton or hold their goods
when they have reasonable OPP
portunity to sell at q profit. The
firTnness OF the cotton basis Is an-
other indication Of the difficulties
attending hedging at the present
time and the merchants represent.
Ing mills are hearing constantly
from manufacturers who are urging
higher asking prices for goods.
The sheeting and print cloth mar
kets are firm and some other gray
goods divisions show that resistance
to lower prices Is becoming knore
general.

During the course of the day new
high records for all time were regis
tered by United States Steel, by Balti-
more e. Ohio and by American Can.
There were a host of Others. but these
will serve to show the scope of the
speculation.
Rails Join Advance.
In the last hour the rails became
more prominent. Baltimore &, Ohio had
been strong all day. but toward the end
Guiding Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania, Nor
folk e. Western, Missouri Pacific and
Flew Haven.
Notwithstanding the extent Of the adj
vance, it did not look as though the
movement was getting out of hand. The
rise was not violent, but persistent and
consistent.
Hugeb locks of stock changed hands
in all the favoriteS at the opening. This,
of course, was due to the accumulation
of overnight orders, but trading kept
up on almost as large scale as the
day went on. In the first half hour the
turnover amounted 10 L. 10000 shares.
Before noon the tape was 81 minutes be-
hind and prices appearing on the ticker
were no guide to those prevailing on
the floor.
Some called it Hoover" market

as a continuation of the bull movement

In any event money vas not factor.
The renewal rate for call loans was
per cent in contrast with the high of 10
per cent in effect at the close yeSter-
day. Funds were in supply at todays
renewal figure and calling for loans was
nominal.
Copper stocks were still the leaders,
but the buying broadened out to include
all sorts of induStrials and not few
rails.
The price of copper metal held around
its recent high, but there were signs
that consumers were recovering from
the panicky state that had been bring
ing them into the market regardless Of
price. Conservatives in the industry do
not want runaway market in the
metal.
Larger Dividends Predicted.
Predictions of increased dividends
and of larger earnings were heard in
connection with all the prominent COM
panies. Anaconda was the favorite,
touching 155 at one time, up 712 points
on top of an advance of points yes

went along, practically every one of
them at new highs. And in most cases
not simply for the year, but for the
present shares.s
In the early trading both Bethlehem
Steel and United States Steel were &C
lively bought. The latter. above 1872,
was within fraction of its previous
