V0TEF0R CAPITAL
URGED BY HARLAN
Northeast Business Men
Hear Plea by Ohio
Representative.

National representation for the Dis
trict of Columbia was advocated last
night by Representative Byron B. Har-
Ian. Democrat of Ohio, in a speech be-
fore the Northeast Business Mems As
sociation at its fifth annual banquet
in the Raleigh Hotel
Expressing the view that the Capital
should have representation on the Dis
trict Committee of House and Senate
in order that those bodies might be
mere accurately guided in determining
policies and programs for the city, Rep
resentative Harlan said, in part:
The National Capital has a greater
right to congressional representation
than any of the possessions of this
country"
The Ohioan asserted that in consid-
ering needs of the District, members of
Congress are inclined to regard Wash
ington in the same light they look upon
the needs of their own home commu-
mites, failing to distinguish the indivi-
dual features and needs of the Capital
City. In justice to the people of the
District of Columbia, he said, this sit.
uation should be corrected.
Mr.. Harlan called for happy me-
dium" in considering the needs of the
government of a large State and that
of municipality when discussing Dis
trict Of Columbia legislation.
Other guests at the banquet included
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superintendent
of police; Capt. Richard Mansfield OF
No. 9 precinct; Arthur c. Smith. pres
ident of the Federation of Business
Mems Associations, and others. Curtis
c. McCalip was chairman Of the Ban
quet Committee, and Robert w. McCul-
Tough. president of the Northeast group,
presided at the affair.

ASK CONSTRUCTION
OF SEWAGE PLANT
Dahlgren Terrace Citizens Suggest
Work Which Would Create
Jobs for 5000.

The building of a modern sewage dis
posal system, which, it was estimated,
would put 5000 men to work In the
District. was suggested as a means OF
fighting unemployment, by the Dahl
gren Terrace Citizens Association last
night.
1t was pointed out that the present
system is inadequate and out of date,
and that before many years construc-
ton of new plant will be compulsory.
The association passed resolution
requesting traffic authorities to grant
equal parking privileges to private as
well as commercial vehicles. The reso-
luton asked either that trucks be for
bidden to park double in the downtown
sections or this right be extended to
private cars.
Congress was asked by the group to
appropriate money for the construc-
tion of a new fire house at Fourteenth
street and Rhode Island avenue north
east. The Commissioners will be urged
to have the Baltimore & Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroads build the pro-
posed bridges or overpasses at the three
Rrade crossings in the Northeast section.
TIE association decided to hold a
garden contest in its section this
year.

BIDS ON new PUMPS

ers Plan to Increase District
Water Supply.

Maj. Joseph D. Arthur, jr.. War De-
partP1ent engineer for the District
area, today was studying half dozen
bids for pumps. designed to increase
Washington's emergency water supply
from three days to more than five days.
The bids, which ranged from $23 900
to $36,340, were received yesterday.
Estimates first were received several
weeks ago, but were rejected on the
ground the pumps called for would
necessitate erection of a special build
ing that would be both expensive and
unsightly.
The new bids call for Moody pump,
which would require a less expensive
and more attractive building.

BY BANKS IS NOTED.
Institutions Have Increased
Liquid Positions by Purchas-
ing U. S. Securities.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, January THE Gov
eminent bond holding complex of ma
tional and State banks and trust COM
panies became more intense in the last
quarter of 1882. judging from the state
mentS of these institutions now being
published and showing their condition
at the year end.
Three of the large New York banks
and trust companies on December 81
were in possession of Slot 900 900 of
long and short term Government issues.
Three months previously the total of
such securities owned by them was
1864 100000. Six banks and trust
companies held S1,867, 100000 of Gov
eminent paper, while the ownership of
Government loans in the portfolios of
IL institutions was $2,420,00o, 000 or
roughly II per cent of the outstanding
United States Government debt
Two banks in New York City had suf-
f1cient Treasury obligations to pay off
SO per cent of their total deposits.
In addition to their holdings of Gov
eminent securities, their statements all
indicated a strong cash position. with
cash in vault and in the Federal Re-
serve Bank and due from other banks
ranging from rs to 80 per cent of de-
posits.
Quite uniformly the liquid position
of the New York institutions. and this
is also true of the banks in other large
cities OF the country, advanced in the
December quarter over that indicated at
the end OF June and on September 30.
The policy of building up great bank
portfolios in Government securities has
been in effect for the past two years.
It has reached point where it is
estimated that approximately one-half
OF the total United States Government
debt is in the possession of banking in
situations. A considerable portion of
their Government holdings are of
short term character. On these the
income return tapers down from less
than per cent to a nominal figure.
In other words, the banks today are
carrying a higher ratio of Investments
on which the return is less than that
paid to their depositorS, than ever be-
fore in their history. Sacrifice of in
come has been made to the creation of
liquid position This has not been
modified by the much easier conditions
in the banking world during the past
six months

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY H. n. McGHL.

Editor, McGill Commodity Service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass. January T.
All commodities during the first week
OF the new year registered an advance.
The upswing was due to three groups.
agricultural products, live stock and fine
textiles, cotton in particular recording
strength. A summary of price changes
in IA individual groups reveals three in
creases, four decreases, and seven re-
manned unchanged
Industrial prices for three consecutive
weeks have shown no disposition to
move upward or downward Industrial
activity is holding moderately above the
low Of 1882, while the lowest volume of
raw material production on modern
records is working against further in
creaseS in inventories.
Agricultural products increased mod
erately during the opening week of the
new year. Since the period of extreme
ly low prices in the Summer of 1882,
prices of agricultural products have
shown more disposition to rise than any
other group, and are now Is per cent
above the extreme low Live stock
prices also registered strength. repre-
senting a natural rebound following
price def1ation that was carried to an
extreme rather than any significant
capita consumption of pork and lamb
is being well maintained, but the trend
of beef consumption continues down.
ward
Non-ferTous metals, ferrous metals,
paint materials and vegetable oils rep
resented the four groups that declined
during the past week. In each case the
degree Of price weakness was extremely
small, thereby failing to equalize the
price strength noted in farm products
and textiles. The fractional decline in
non-ferrous and ferrous metals was due
to tin, zinc and steel scrap. China
wood and coconut oil were responsible
for the decline in vegetable oils. In
paint materials, litharge, red lead and
white lead were moderately lower.
All other groups held steady.

NEW YORK. January THE New
York Stock Exchange has taken action
designed to bring free and full play
of the spotlight of publicity on corpo-
rate earnings statements and balance
sheets and to insure greater accuracy
in the figures
In announcing its action, the Ex-
change made it clear that a majority
of the Nations leading corporate exec
utives had rendered their moral sup
port to the step. Ten years ago it
was said, such action would have been
impossible, but conditions have 81
changed since then that the Exchanges
officials forecast a sure success for the
project.
Can Refuse LiStings.
Richard Whitney, president of the
Stock Exchange. departed from usual
custom and made the announcement
before group of newspaper men, who
were invited by him to fire away with
questions. He explained that the Ex-
change was exercising its authority
over its own security listing privileges
as a means of reaching the goal in
sight. 1t lacks power, he added, to tell
corporations what to do, or not to do,
but 1t can refuse to accept securities
of corporations for new liStings, unless
they comply with demands Of the Ex-
change.
The new ruling provides that begin
ming on July next, "all listing applica-
lions from corporations must contain
the certificate of independent public
accountants, qualified under the laws
of some State or country, certifying
to the correctness of the balance sheet,
income statements and surplus state
ments for the most recent fiscal year. I"
This ruling, which demands that All
audit OF the books be made by some
agency outside the company itself, was
expected by the Exchange to insure
full accuracy for the earnings state
ments, and to lead directly to more
complete, as well as reliable, publicity
about the earnings and balance sheets
of the company.
A few exceptions to the new rule viii
