GAS VALUATION
FIGURES CONFLICT
Utility Experts Land Esti.
mates Nearly ST, 900, 900
Lower Than Company's.

The value Of the real estate held by
the Washington and Georgetown Gas
Light Companies will be placed by Pub
lie Utilities Commission witnesses at q
figure nearly sl,00o,ooo lower than that
estimated by the companies In the val
uation case now in progress
According to an exhibit filed in the
case today, the commissions expert on
land values. E. Catesby RowZee, will
testify that the lands are worth $2,343,-
600. The company experts valued them
at $3.289, 600. a difference of $e47, 900.
Streets and Alleys Not Included.
According to the exhibit filed by Sr.
Rowzee as he started to testify today,
there is not great deal of difference
in values placed by him and by the
other experts on individual parcels of
land. In some cases, Rowzee's estimate
Is higher than that of the company
experts. Substantially, the difference Is
caused by the fact Rowzee was in
structed by the commission not to in
clude values of certain properties of
the companies placed in public streets
and alleys and certain wharf prop
critics. The commission will contend
these should not form part of the valu-
alton.
This mornings session of the yalua-
tion case was largely taken I'D with
Introduction of maps and other exhibits
by the companies.
Maps Cause Controversy.
Maps of the company;s east station
property included several streets and
alleys, since closed, but which were on
the street plan at the time the COM
pany originally put up its buildings
many years ago. The introduction of
this map caused quite a controversy be-
tween William A Roberts. counsel for
tne commission. and Stoddard M
stevens, jr, for the companies.
The valuation is supposed TO be
GATED as of June 30, 1882, and the
streets were closed subsequent to that
GATE: Therefore at that time. part of
the land on which the East Staion was
built was public property, not owned by
tne gas company. Mr.. Roberts con-
tenoed the maps were inadmissable as
showing the conditions on June 80, 1882.
They were finally allowed in the record
as showing conditions today.
One of the principal issues on land
values between the commission and the
companies is whether these lands should
or should not be Included in the yalua-
tlon. The companies put them In, but
testimony to be offered for the COM
mission later will leave them out.

tition Is adopted for the industry and

The committee, acting at meeting
here last night, said its recommends
tioi will be placed before county vice
presidents of the association at a con-
ference here Friday.
w. s. Akin, executive secretary, said
reasons for the recommendation were:
Failure of Il. r. A. TO take adequate
measures to prevent "chiseling''; inabil-
ity of restaurant operators to cope with
mounting food and labor costs and
price cutting by "chiselers," and refusal
of N. r. A. officials to permit opera
ton temporarily under the proposed
national restaurant code, which pro-
vides a uniform "mark-up" on food
prices.
Akin said the operators had been In
vited 10 file exceptions to the Presi-
dents unemployment agreement. but
that those who did SO were unable to
obtain action on them.

Acting Together.
(New York World -Telegram)

l Never in the countrys history has so much
 been said as is being said about the end of rugged indvidualism and the necessity of thinking and acting in the interest of all Gods chillun It is a hopeful sign. It seems to indicate the immnence of new era, or at least the necessity of a new era of cooperation, if that part of the
 human race comprised in the bounadries of the U. S. A. is not to continue to be ground between the mlstones of an ever efficient technology and ever greater concentration of wealth. Two examples of the preachments occurred on Thursday. The Presidents wife, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said to the graduating class of the Wash ington College of Law that a "social-minded code of ethics" was coming into this country She described her code: Do not wish for special priv I1eges; wish for privileges for all. Attain all you can attain in developing your own gifts and use
 them for the good of the whole of society. You will never get the greatest joy out of living until you feel you are one with great many people-a whole country, perhaps"
 And here in New York Dr. Dixon Ryan Fox Professor of History at Columbia University told 161 graduates of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Banking that the new Am erica" was emerging and admonished "If you bring to this new age the individual materialsm of the past you will not fit" He urged his hearers to accustom themselves to regulation and to the 3erv- ice of the public interest rather than of personal ambition.
 In most cases advice of this tenor comes from the more idealstic class-coege professors min- isters, members of the new Government at Wash ington And yet it comes out strongly from many other sources.
 After three years of a depression unoue in American or world history-a depression due ir, great part to prodigous economic advance-the
 instincts of people, and also their desperation are seeking new outlets of hope. It is becoming prima facie evidence that under the modern large scale industrial economy, organization and cooperation must be effected universally well as in the great individual units of human endeavor.

Exceeding Wartime Record.
Daily Journal of Commerce Seattle,


 Speed in excess of that noted in war days in recruiting for work in the National and State forests has been in effect during recent weeks The Federal Director of Emergency Conservation Work states that by July than 275, ,O0O men will be at work in the forests The men are selected after examination and sent to army conditioning camps. The War Department is accepting the men and, after conditioning, installing them in forest camps at the rate of 5400 day. The Federal Director has been advised by army officials that such daily average far exceeds the average main tained during the World War by the American army and navy combined.
 These men are not potential soldiers The Ad- ministration desires to make that point clear Should military authorities obtain valuable informa- ton and experience, however in handling the work army with the speed in evidence, the nation is just that much ahead
 These young men, most of whom have been drifting like ships without rudders since the de- pression set in, will some day look back upon their service in the forests the most constructive train ling they received. They are being tided over Ia dangerous period of formative youth, and the value to the and to the country cannot be overestimated.
