Commission. and Firms Account
ants Will Confer on Time Needed
for Close Inspection.

The public hearing on reduction of
telephone rates in the District which
started before the Public Utilities Com
mission today is expected to be recessed
after the afternoon session in an effort
to secure statistics from the Chesapeake
q Potomac Telephone Co. on the costs
OF operating services by class Of service.
The commission had ordered these
figures filed before the hearing started.
The telephone company, however, filed
only figures showing receipts during
December, 1881, and no figures as to
costs Byers NICK. Bachmann, chief
accountant for the commission, said 1t
would be impossible for him to de-
termine the cost of service by classes
from the figures furnished by the COM
pany.
Accountants to Confer.
1t was decided to let accountants for
the commission and the company con-
fer and make an estimate Of the time
required for obtaining the figures
sought. It was explained at the hear
computations based on 10000 bills sent
out by the company monthly, and that
it was almost a physical impossibility
to allocate the cost to the various sta
lions since all exchanges handle all
types of calls, including local and long
distance.
At the outset Of the hearing William
NICK. Clayton, representing the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, moved
that the commission make the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co part!
to the hearing because it owns the local
company. The commission took the
motion under Amusement.
Mr.. Bachmann then took the stand
and introduced Is exhibits containing
statistics relating to the company's OPP
erations for the years 1925 to 1880. in
elusive.
Investment Increased.
The statistics showed that during the
wears mentioned there was 10 per
cent increase in the amount invested
in plant, but only 35 per cent increase
in operating revenues. They showed
an increase of Sl7.6S per station during
that period.
They also showed the local company
had paid the A. T. g. T. $l.352, OoO
during those years.
The effect of installation Of the dial
system in 1880 was partly reflected in
the items for operators wages. which
amounted to 1887 900 in 1925, sl,739,-
OCO in 1929 and S1,5l0000 in 1881.
The company earned in 1881, appli-
cable to return on it's valuation, s2.259,
900, equal to a 7.34 per cent return on
valuation. Its earnings during that
wear eoualed 11e per cent on its stock
after paying all interest charges.
The company claimed that so far this
year it has made a return of $50 per
cent in the months January to April
inclusive and 6.3l per cent in May.

TAX ON CHECKS
BOTHER TO BANK
Two-Cent Levy Effective June
Fl, However, Will Be Paid
by Deposition.

The 2-cent revenue tax on bank
checks goes into effect June 81, the
new levy falling upon the depositor
instead Of the bank Upon the banks,
however, has been placed the burden
of collecting the tax and turning it
over to the Government and this action
has caused complaint from the flnan-
cial institutions all over the country
In 1898, during the Spanish Ameri-
can War. Congress imposed a 2-cent
tax on bank checks and went ahead
and printed millions of stamps These
stamps we're furnished to the banks.
the customer bought as many as he
needed and placed them on his checks
All the bank had to do was see that
there was stamp on every check.
In the present instance the Govern
ment does not propose to spend even
from each check tax by printing
stamps. The burden Of collection has
been loaded on the banks, which are
to gather in the revenue funds and
forward them to the Treasury under
certain rules now being prepared for
distribution. This action blankets the
banks with a great amount of extra
bookkeeping and attendant additional
expense.
Bookkeeping Is Increased.
It was estimated by Washington
bankers today that keeping records of
the 2 cents due the Government on
every check will add to the bookkeep
ing departments operating costs at
least 5 per cent q year. The best me-
chanical methods Of handling the new
tax were given great deal of study
at the recent convention of the District
Bankers Association at Hot Springs, Va.
Either every two cents must be
recorded on the day each check comes
back to the bank or each depoSitor'S
check must be counted up at the end of
every month, the total tax figured and
recorded. the total amount charged to
his account and the money sent to
the Government. Many bankers think
it will be better to deduct the tax of
each customer at the end of the month
than to figure and deduct it from his
account each day. In case, however
that a depositor should close his &C
count in the middle Of the month, the
latter method would not work.
ss5,0oo,o0o Estimated Revenue.
At the time Congress passed the bill
it was claimed the tax on checks would
bring in So, 900 900 additional revenue
to the Treasury each year. Local bank
ers think the estimate a bit too high.
They are not arguing that point, how
ever But they do feel that the Gov
eminent should have been willing to
use fractional part of the $95 900 900,
if it amounts that sum, in printing
stamps. which would have so greatly
simplified the method of collection.
While the tax comes on the bank de-
positor, he has one more thing to keep
in mind. He must record the tax pay
ments in the stubs in his check book
Otherwise his figures will never balance
with the monthly or quarterly state
ments prepared by his bank
Thus, as one banker said today, "the
customer pays, the bank does the collec-
ton work and the Government gets the
revenue as clear profit"

Movie Crazy
Worth Waiting
2 Years to See

It's been two years since Harold
Lloyd last treated his fans to one OF
his films. That's long time to wait
for Lloyd picture, and yet. as Movie
Crazy with Constance Cummings,
the film to break the long silence, UNI
wound itself yesterday before howl
ing, guffawing audience in the Para
mount Theater, it seemed that a
Lloyd picture is worth waiting two
years or even more to see.
To say that Movie Crazy" is the
best picture Lloyd has ever produced
sounds like the utmost extravaganza.
Yet the soberest consideration points
to that conclusion. 1t is chuck full
Of brand new gags and of some Of the
old ones dressed up as new ones and
funnier than ever. 1t has good,
consistent story, strong supporting
cast, and Lloyd himself tops every
previous Characterization. Something
has happened to the comedian in the
last two years. He is a subtler, more
mature, and generally better actor.
and gives the impression that he could
carry a story by the force of his per-
sonality even If it were not gagged to
the hilt with mirth-provoking situa-
tons.

Fannie Hurst's most absorbing story

and John Boles in the leading roles.
This powerful and fascinating love-
drama follows the romance of a girl
and man, held together by sincere
love in spite of the fact that the man
is husband and father. For twenty
years, the attachment endures, ever
increasing in intensity, until a tragedy
brings the most extraordinary affair
Of its kind ever picturized into sharp
focus.
Throughout her life, the woman has
sacrificed everything else to the man
she loved, while the man has main
tanned his position in the social world
and remained a respected member
of the community in which he lives.
The supporting cast includes June
Clyde, George Meeker, William Bake
well. Arletta Duncan, Doris Lloyd,
Walter Catlett and other favorites

WAR IS INSANE,
SAYS PASTOR

War was decried as unfair, hor-
rible and insane in a sermon yes
terday on the subject, THE Un-
known Soldier Speaks" by DR..
Frederick Brown Harris, preach
ing at the Foundry Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Asserting that forces and in
strumentalities are in the hands
of the military powers that in a
few hours would depopulate Lon
don and Paris and Washington
and New York, the preacher
warned that the next war will
be a war of whole populations
against whole populations.
The wars of the past and fear
of the war of the future have
done more than any other factor
to wreck the whole economic sys-
tenn, he said.
