BOARD TO BATTLE
T0KENFARE BOOST
Utilities Commission Will
Insist on Retaliation
Before Asserting.

A battle over the move OF the
Capital Transit Co. to boost its street.
car-token fare was in the making
today at the District Building as a
result of the sudden announcement
by the concern late yesterday that it
would abandon the 81 weekly pass
January 3. but would retain the SIPS
pass.
Explaining that they were helpless
to prevent abandonment of the 81
pass system. members of the Public
Utilities Commission reiterated they
would insist on q revaluation of COM
pany properties before considering the
proposed increase in the token fare
from four for 80 cents to three for rs
cents, with the cash fare remaining
at 10 cents.
Commission experts have been pre-
pairing data on the value of the
properties for some months, and the
work Is now nearly hnished. The
commission indicated II would call q
public hearing on value, probably
early in January, and said this would
be held prior to any hearing on the
proposed increase IN token fare.
Court Overruled Commission.
Commission members found them
selves powerless to insist on continual
ton Of the 81 pass largely because of
terms of q decision by District Court
in 1890, in which the commission was
overruled.
In that case, the court allowed the
concern to increase its fare to 10 cents
cash. or four tokens for 80 cents, as a
means of giving the company a "rea-
sonable return" on its fair value.
Street car patronage thereafter fell
OH, and two years ago the concern, by
voluntary action, adopted the 81 pass
as means of regaining lost customers.
This was the result, but company Of
ficials now declare the average price
paid per ride has fallen to approxi-
mately 6 cents, and that additional
revenues must be found.
Since abandonment of the pass does
not raise the fare above the level fixed
by the court, the commission said it
could not act In that case, but will
forestal any action on an increase
In the token fare until q new valua-
ton has been found.

GARNER SUPPORTS
RAYBURN IN FIGHT
Backs Fellow Texan in Race
for House Leadership
Against O'Connor.
BY WILL p. KENNEnY.

The return Of Vice President Gar.
ner, five weeks in advance of the OPEN
ing of Congress, is believed by many on
Capitol Hill to be for the purpose Of
interesting administration leaders in
the candidacy of his close personal
and political friend. Representative
Sam Rayburn of Texas, for House
leader.
I'm supporting Sam 200 per cent
because he is the best equipped man
for the place." Garner said today in
disclosing that he is backing his fell
low Texan.
1t has been claimed previously by
supporters of Rayburn that he is the
choice of the administration for House
leader and that in particular he has
the backing of Postmaster General
Farley. On the contrary, friends Of
Acting Floor Leader O'Connor claim
that the President personally would be
glad to see O'Connor win, but does not
intend to take any part in the contest.
Into this situation steps Garner, and
Rayburn's following seems to be count
ing on him to swing the election.
O'Connor's supporters say they vel
come the Vice Presidents participation
in the contest because House members
always have resented any outside inter-
ference in organization of the House.
Successive Presidents have been ex-
tremely careful on this account to do
nothing that would seem to be an effort
to influence the choice Of either
Speaker or House leader.
Dictation Opposed. axe.
In this connection it is recalled ths
when Garner quit the Speakers chail
to become Vice President he wished to
have Rayburn succeed him, but the
House members made it quite plain
that they were opposed to any dicta-
ton in their choice from the Senate
side. t
Vice President Garner and Repre-
sentative Rayburn have been close
friends for many years. It was Ray
burn who managed Gamers campaign
for the presidential nomination at the
Chicago convention, and who helped to
negotiate the deal through which Gar
ner received the vice presidential NOM
nation.
In the campaign just closed Garner
insisted that Rayburn be made chief
Of the speakers bureau at the New
York headquarters, by appointment Of
National Chairman Farley after the
organization meeting In Philadelphia,
although Senator Connally of Texas
previously had been slated for that
post.
