BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, March 4 G.N.So
The stock market moved forward
today with gains running to more
than three points as buying orders
continued to pour in on the new
tax proposals of President Roose-
velt.
Motors and steels set the early
pace and utilities came to the fore
around noon. Trading was at a
greatly accelerated pace, the ticker
running two minutes late at the
start and continuing hard pressed
to keep up with the heavy influx
Of orders.
There was a long list OF new
highs, including General Motors
and Chrysler, U. S. Steel, Standard
Oil Of New Jersey, International
Harvester, Briggs, and LIBBY
OwenS-Ford in the glass stocks.
Aviation made fair progress In
response to reports large United
States Government orders for

Steels, Utilities, Specialties

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK. September "A more
active and confident stock market to-
day got behind steels, rails, utilities
and specialties and gave them an up
ward push for fractions to 2 or more
points.
Further evidence of economic prog
ress, it was said, provided the principal
bullish inspiration. A number of new
highs for the past year or longer we're
recorded. The close was firm. Trans
fers were around 100000 shares.
The market struck its fastest stride
in the early hours, when most of the
leaders reached their best levels of the
session.
The pace slowed later as profit takers
entered the arena and whitfield down a
number of the outstanding gains.
Many active issues, however, refused
to give ground to any great extent.
Conspicuous on the climb were
shares of U. S. Steel, Bethlehem,
Crucible, youngstown Sheet & Tube,
N. Y. Central, Delaware & Hudson,
Union Pacific, Atlantic Coast Line.
Illinois Central. Southern Pacific,
Baltimore & Ohio, Electric Autolite.

turing. Waldorf System, Purity

UTILITY EARNINGS
VARY WIDELY HERE
Increased Operating Ex-
penses important Factor
in July ShoWings.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Net earnings of five public utility
concerns in Washington in July varied
more widely than for several months,
according to the financial statements.
all of which have been filed with the
Public Utilities Commission. Increased
operating expenses we're an important
factor in reducing profits.
The Potomac Electric Power Co.
continued to reveal substantial gains
in earnings over July. 1885. and for
the first seven months of last year.
An increase in the demand for elec-
tricity resulted in total net earnings
of 2,25528, against only s30l.-
462.80 in July, 1885, or gain of over
20 per cent. For the first seven
months of 1886 the corporation re-
ported total net income of $2,567,-
612.95 as compared with the consid-
erably lower figure of s2,317 .222.34.
The Capital Transit Co. reported
q drop in earnings of 125 per cent in
comparison with the corresponding
month last year, the financial state
ment showing a deficit in July this
year of $l9,080.44, against net profit
in July, 1885, of s81, ,05079. Growing
expenses made a particularly severe
cut into Capital Transit's operating
results for the month. marked rise
in the number of revenue passengers
carried being unable to offset the high
operating costs. Expenses also dealt
a hard blow to the results for the
seven-month period compared with
last year.
The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co.'S net earnings for the seven
months totaled $1,214,530. against
$1,124,147 a year ago. The July story,
however, was not so good, net earnings
dropping from sl45.219 in July, 1885,
to sl38.549 in the like period this year.
While the Washington Gas Light
Co. reported operating revenues Of
1888 ,266, against $685., ,632, net earn
ings in July were about $4,000 lower
than year ago. For the seven months
net earnings stood at $615,756 as COM
pared with S746,144 a year ago.
Georgetown Gas Light, however, re-
ported gain both in July and the
seven months over last year.

High Prices Deny Proper
Food to Sick and Needy
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor OF The star:
Maybe it isn't done in Washington,
but anyway I'm going to express my
gratitude to those six humane justices
for the voiding of law that has been
so unkind to so many of us in forcing
us to pay such high prices for meat
that we have had to do without it ex-
cept as a rare treat. To those of us
afflicted with tuberculosis (or the ever
haunting fear of its return), or other
diseases in which meat is so vitality neces-
sary to build up resistance this A. A. A.
has been plain cruelty.
If the politicians who passed this vi
cious law, or even those who encouraged
It, had to do without meat, as so many OF
us have had to do, they would never
have passed it. But, of course. politi-
clans never did care anything about the
sufferings of poor people.
And we never could understand why
we poor people should have to pay out
money to farmers in high prices through
the A. A. A., for they were at least bet
ter of than we city poor people, many
of us out of work for so long, for the
farmers never have given any money to
help us. But then we never could see
either why the Government should give
money to the farmers for doing nothing,
any more than it should give it to city
workers for doing nothing. 1t Is so very
unjust
So I'm sure that the thoughts Of many
millions of despairing people must reach
out in gratitude to those six merciful JUS
tices who were understanding enough
to place human rights above politicians
rights. MONA PHELPS.

Citizens Should Help Keep
Streets and Alleys Clean

To the Editor Of The Star:
Permit me to make a few comments
about a problem that is Of vital interest
to every citizen of Washington. have
in mind the paper problem. Our streets
and alleys are Uttered with papers, bot
ties and all kinds Of trash. Some streets.
it is true, are kept fairly clean most of
the time. However, the majority OF our
streets and alleys should have a lot
more attention.
If the city government hasn't enough
money properly to clean the Streets.
then the property owners should step
IN and do what they can in keeping
their section of the street clean. I sug-
gest that an educational campaign be
started to clean up our streets and al
leys and educate the public to have more
pride in the appearance OF their city.
Now that the snow is gone, our city
is dirtier than 1t has been for long
time. Much sand was scattered over
the streets in order to prevent skid
ding of automobiles. I am not con-
demning this practice, as the sand
was necessary for the movement of
traffic. I do think that the sand should
be cleaned up and hauled away.
Recently, at parking lot, counted
is whisky and gin bottles scattered be-
tween the pavement and the parking
property. This may sound like good
story. However, you can take my word
for it.
I advocate the purchase of additional
trash containers, to be placed at i'm
portant street intersections. These con-
tainers, when used by the public, will
greatly aid in making our streets and
walks look a little more presentable.
The citizens of Washington should
be ashamed of the paper and trash on
their streets. IVAN K. GULDEN.

Use the Townsend Plan to
Wipe Out National Debt

To the Editor OF The Star:
Permit me. please, to blow off irritating
steam! If the Townsend plan is feasible,
practical or even possible, then why not
adopt it to erase the disgraceful condition
of this country? If the plan works, let
Congress put it over for from two to five
years, or for such time as is necessary to
wipe out our national debt. Now
wouldn't that be something really worth
while? Wouldn't that inStill ambition,
hope and everything that is necessary
to really put us all on a financial foot
ing? Just think what an example-in-
centive-to have the ~. s." out of debt
entirely. A law on the books-prohibit-
ing, ever again, allowing Congress or the
Executive to put the wage earners and
home-makers of this grand country in
"hock" as has been done today. If they
want to help their British or other near
cousins, do it on q cash basis and on
that basis only. 1t will cause their or
our lawmakers to at least think it over
before following propaganda, sentiment
and foolish prejudiceS. Returning to the
Townsend plan, here is what years of
careful observation OF the 60-year old
erS diScloSes: They are of two kinds
(thoSe who are to benefit by this plan)
In the first class are those persons who
are farsighted, thrifty and have provided
for their future. They do not need nor
desire "U. S." help. The other class those
who are willfully and carelessly unfortu-
nate. They have always indulged them
selves or their loved ones to the extent
of their ability. At go they are parSi-
monious and stingy to degree, as they
have adopted pet Cor pets) in or of the
family and will indulge the latter in
every way within their means. Thus,
the 5000 per month would merely breed
additional leeches, persons who would Tin
most cases. become lazy, worthless and
probably misconduct themselves and be-
come helpless and charge on the COM
munity like their elders.
We have enough worthless and uselest
persons in this country now. Why per-
petuate this class? The Self-reSpecting
class never cry for help or consideration
of special kinds. Those earning from
500 to $3.50 per month are home makers,
providers and creditable citizens. TheSe
we would ask to pay more and higher
prices for everything, in order that
far less useful class should live in idle
ness and breed their kind further to prey
upon the worthwhile. The exception that
may be shown is the only rule to the
above statements. We are willing to
provide from $25 to $50 per month for
one or two of the unfortunates who,
through no fault of their own, are de-
pendent. One dollar per day would keep
any one alive and clothed-in this needy
class. Two hundred per month is mali
cious waste. Nine out of ten persons
never earn that much in their life as
wages Why talk of such amount as
pension? People who consider this idea
favorably arc either weak minded, or de-
liberate pirates who are willing to rob
their neighbors, regardless of conse-
quences. H. G. STRONHE1M.
