He should benefit materially from the

Griffith gave Bentley very little en-
couragement along the line of letting
him have any of his surplus playing
material. There are other outlets for
the discarded athletes which fit better
in the Old Foxs scheme of things.

bic, but merely calling attention to
the situation.
Most of the Senators as they
voted to reject the various amend
merits, reserved the right to change
their vote on the floor of the Senate.
Several members of the committee
declared that they favored the
principle OF the Blaine amendment,
which would establish prudent in.
vestment as the basis of valuation
for local companies.
They said they would vote for 1t
as a separate amendment to the
Public Utilities act, but did not
want to cause the defeat Of the
merger resolution by attaching it
to that.
Reflections Made
After reporting out the merger
resolution the committee voted to
adopt a supplementary resolution
reported by the subcommittee, in
structing the Public Utilities Com
mission to hire DIR. Maltbie to make
the valuation of the new company.
Among the amendments rejected
by the committee today was one
proposed by Roberts to force the
existing companies to turn over
their 1900, 900 depreciation reserve
to the new company; another by
Roberts to limit the franchise of
the new company: an amendment
offered by Clayton directing half
fares for school children, and
another by Clayton providing for
universal transfers between street
cars and busses.
Rely ON Expert
The Roberts amendment provid-
ing for transfer Of depreciation re-
serve brought on a long discussion
between Blaine and other members
OF the committee. Blaine insisted
that under the merger agreement
as now written. this money would
go into the capital account OF the
new company and would result In
higher fares.
The other members of the com
mittee, led by Senator Vandenberg,
Of Michigan, relied upon DIR. Malt
bie's advice TO answer Blaine's arg
uments.
The discussion became very gen
eral at times and involved q debate
on the merits Of the whole merger
proposition.
During this discussion. Blaine
charged that the banking interests

is q bad thing and are suspicious

Democratic Leader Declares
Bill Will Raise Cost
of Living in U. S.
BY the Associated Press.


LEXINGTON, KY, September 49,
The assertion that the administration
tariff bill would raise the cost of liv-
ing to American consumers "Some-
where between 500, 000, 900 and 81, 000,-
100000" was made here yesterday by
Jouett Shouse, chairman of the national
Democratic executive committee. He
was here in conference with Kentucky
party leaders.
Our executive committees activities
have been principally In the direction of
doing what we could to oppose the en-
actment Of the most eXtortionate tariff
bill that 1t has ever been sought to put
over on the country" said the state
ment.
IT would remind you that during the
campaign there was no thought of any
general tariff revision, still less any sug-
geStion of raise all along the line"
The Democratic chairman said Presi-
dent Hoover's call for the extra seS-
sion of Congress afforded the oppor-
tunity which was taken full advantage
Of for a general tariff raid"
The most effective means of combat
ing the ubiquitous levy" said the
chairman, appeared to be the broad
casting Of the opinions and findings of
those who are opposed to the meas
ure. That we have made no mistake
In our policy" said the statement, lis
indicated by the circumstance that 90
per cent of the press Of the United
States, regardless Of party Affiliations.
