ATTORNEYS ARGUE
PR0PERTY'S LIFE"
Telephone Rate Case Again
Concerned With Depre.
citation Problem.

The telephone rate case In District
Supreme Court, now in its fourth day
OF trial, dwelt on the intricacies of
depreciation all morning
The Public Utilities Commission
two years ago ordered the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. to cut most
telephone bills 10 per cent. This is
really what the case Is about, but so
far the testimony has all been about
depreciation.
The company, through August B.
Gompf, put into evidence a series of
tables showing how long 81 classes Of
its property can be expected to live
while in service before being replaced.
In the case of property, which lasts.
for example, five years, the company
charges one-flfth of its cost each year
to its depreciation account. It is the
contention of the commission that
these periods are too short. In other
words, the property continues in serv-
Ice long after its entire cost has been
retired through charges to the depre-
ciation account, 1t is charged. The
result of this, the commission con-
tends, is that the company shows a
smaller net income than it really has.
Today Peoples Counsel Richmond
B. Keech asked Mr.. Gompf if it would
not be fair to consider these service
lives of the classes of property in de-
Gliding the figure which should be de-
Quoted from the cost of reproduction
of the property new in arriving at a
final value figure.
George P. Hoover, attorney for the
company, argued strenuously that this
would not be fair. His contention Is
that the only thing which should be
deducted is the observed deprecia-
ton" Keech and Hoover were each
trying to impress their views on JUS
tice Jesse G. Adkins.
Previous to this, Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel William A. Roberts had
also charged that the accruals to the
depreciation account were too large,
and said that the commission later
in the case would introduce affirma-
tive evidence to establish this.

Drastic Action Planned
Against Private Agencies
Which Charge Fees.
Plans for q drastic move against

Plans for q drastic move against
private employment agencies which
charge fees were being considered
today at the District Building at the
direction Of Commissioner George E.
Allen.
While the corporation counsel's
Office is making this study, COM
mercial concerns in Washington are
to be asked to cooperate with the
District Public Employment Center,
operating under the Labor Depart
ment.
The move, Allen explained, is not
directed at private employment or
ganizations operating without charge
to the unemployed. He declared.
however, he is vehemently oppo-ed to
the principle of profit-making con-
Germs charging the unemployed for
registering or placing workers in jobs
The Commissioner planned to call
together some time next week a group
Of hotel executives to ask their CO.
operation with the Public Employment
Center, in all cases where they need
additional workers.
Allen said it might be possible to
accomplish the purpose in mind by
legislation or by raising the license
fees now paid to the District by pri-
vate employment agencies or by adop-
ton Of stringent regulations. Mean
time, he said, the major trade and
business organizations of Washington
are to be asked to cooperate in the
program.
The program, when formulated, is
to be laid before the Commissioners
for action.

A machine which may reveal the

demonstrated for the first time to-
night by its inventor, DR.. H. G. Dick
inson of the Bureau of Standards, be-
fore the Washington section of the

the forces operating in human nature,
whatever they may be, which lead to
saving and production.
When the pumps are set at work,
the inventor believes, there Is dupli-
Gated in about two minutes the eco

Member Adm Onishes
Colleagues as Too
PerflulctOry.

The House District Committee was
admonished today by Representative
Dirksen, Republican, of Illinois, be-
cause it showed too much indiffer-
ence" in handling District legislation.
He declared emphatically that COM
mite members attended to their
duties on District legislation in "too
perfunctory a manner"
Dirksen insisted there should be
full attendance when important Dis
trict measures are under considera-
tion. He also said the committee
itself should give more serious atten-
ton to such measures and grant full
opportunity to District residents to
express their wishes.
Dirksen suggested that the mem
bership Of the committee be reduced
to about five members in order that
there might be a more careful con-
sideration of legislation.

CITY HEADS SEEN
OPPOSING RACES
Board to Hold Public Hear
ing Friday on Legal
Tracks Here.

While the District Commissioners
will hold a public hearing Friday on
the proposed bill to license race tracks
here, it appeared unlikely today that
the city heads would send a favorable
report to Congress on the matter.
Commissioner George E. Allen has
gone on record as definitely opposed
to legalization of race tracks here,
with provision for betting under the
pari-mutuel system, and Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen expressed doubt as to
whether betting on horse races would
be a good thing for Washington
Hazen, however, said he would be
open-minded until after the public
hearing.
Allen, in a public statement, de-
clared he could see no benefit to
washington in the licensing of race
tracks and said "it might do a lot
of harm"
There Is plenty Of racing near the
District" Allen said, ..'and I see no
reason for establishment Of race
tracks in the National Capital. Horse
races bring both a fine element of
people and also many Of the bad ele-
ment, such as race horse touts, and
probably there is more of the bad
element than the good.
Establishment of race tracks here
might start many persons to gambling,
who otherwise would not indulge.
The argument is made that legal
control over race fro rk opd boffipo
does away with illegal forms of book
making, but to my knowledge there
are more bookmakers operating in
towns that have legalized racing than
in other places"

H|NR|CHS NAMED
IN WORKS SURVEY
Ickes Brings Pressure to

employment.

Prof A. Ford Hinrichs of the
Brown University Department of Eco
nomics has been appointed a men,
Der of a group of specialists who will
help the National Planning Board of
the Public Works Administration in
a Nation-wi survey on the timing
and coordination of public works
projects.
Before announcing the appoint
ment Secretary Ickes said yesterday
that pressure is being brought to
speed up jobs in order to absorb
quickly as many unemployed as pos
sible.
Confers with Hopkins.
The Secretary declined to estimate
how many men would be employed
within the next few weeks, but said
he had conferred with Harry L. Hop
kinS, relief administrator, who has
ordered the rehabilitation of the A.
100000 men now employed on civil
works
At the same time, Secretary 1ckes
revealed, real estate spectators are
delaying the Public Works Admins
tration's low-cost housing projects.
Without identifying the city. he said
spectators have bought options to the
extent that virtually all available sites
are now in their hands.
Just Too Bad, He Says.
"In that case" he said, "it will be
just too bad for that city"
The administrator explained the
Housing Corporation would not pay
speculative prices for property, and
rather than be put to that expense,
would abandon projects otherwise held
feasible and useful.
The Secretary declined to explain
why the lum-clearance projects in
the District are being held up. It has
been known for some time that tenta-
tive approval has been given for four
such projects here, but the sites have
not been announced and the projects
are still pending.

the total wealth Of a nation hard
times are always close at hand and
the proper means for recovery Is to
restore the balance.
The net income, or standard OF
living of nation, is first indicated
in a glass container mounted on the
left of a see-saw beam. As this is
raised a surplus becomes available
which is pumped into two containers
one containing productive wealth,
such as personal property, and the
other productive wealth, such as
stocks and bonds.
The liquid representing wealth Is
pumped through these containers,
which are connected by glass tubes
and valves in the manner in which
wealth circulates and accumulates In
the economic system. As the wealth
flows the position of the see-saw beam
is fuctuated. When the nation is
prosperous the beam remains approx
mately level, with the standard of
living balancing the total of produc-
tive wealth and annual fixed interest
charges. But surplus of savings will
cause. an imitation of stock and bond
values and upset the balance Then
the balance is tilted with an infia-
tion Of values followed by an increase
Of hxed Indebtedness and an increase
Of fixed interest charges.
