LAW PROTECTS
OLD BUT SAFE
EQUIPMENT
R O b erts Estimates
Firm Should Spend
For SO Cars

Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts expressed doubt today that
under present conditions the Pub
lie Utilities Commission could
force the Capital Transit Company
to purchase 300 new street cars.
Immediate purchase of this
number of cars, which would cost
approximately $4,500,000, was ad.
vocated at meeting of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Association last
Saturday. At the same meeting
Roberts was retained by the
federation as it's special counsel
IN the one-man car case.
Can't Bar Old Cars
Roberts explained that under
the law the commission could COM
pei the company to replace unsafe
equipment He said this neces-
sarily did not apply to outmoded
equipment.
The figure of 300, Robert said,
was advanced by William Mex.
Clayton, chairman of the fedora
ton public utilities committee, who
based his estimate on testimony
by Fred A. Sager, P. U. c. chief
engineer. Sager has contended
that the company needs 300 new
cars, but does not estimate this
number of cars now operated by
the company are unsafe.
Should Buy Some Cars
An estimate that the company,
by its own admission in recent pub
lie hearings, should be compelled
to purchase between so and 100
new cars was expressed by Roberts.
The company pays approximately
$4,000 each for cars and under
Roberts estimate should expend
between $750,000 and S1,500,0OO
for new cars.
Members of the commission had
no comment today on the action
of the Central Labor Union, which,
lncenSed over recent approval of
the company's one-man car system
expansion, voted to ask President
Roosevelt that he request the res
lgnationS of the commission mem
berS.
Spokesman for organized labor
firmly opposed the companyS
plan at the commissions puolic
hearing Chief spokesman was w.
w. Keller, chairman of the
unions public utilities committee.
Keller Protests
Sponsoring the action at last
nights meeting, Keeler said.
THE Public Utilities Commits
sion has always been cold to
labor. Now it has turned its
back on the public. If it is so
interested in the utilities, the
word public should be taken
from its name and it should be
called the Utilities Commission
and paid, not out of taxes, but
by the utilities companies"

Elliott Holds State
Supported Study Is
Against the Law

The Federal Government can
not take advantage of an offer by
State governments to finance lab
oratory work to break up race
horse doping, decision by Acting
Comptroller General Richard M
Elliott revealed today.
The Treasury Departments Blu
reau of Narcotics, under which
the work would come, does not
have the money to carry on, but
Mr.. Elliott held, nevertheless, that
general statutes would be violated
under the program suggested.
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau
presented a case to the General
Accounting Office saying:
ut has come to my attention
that the practice of administer.
ing narcotic drugs to race horses
to affect their performance on
the track has become very preve-
liant. State racing commissions
have had little success in curb
ing this practice. due to lack of
facilities and lack of knowledge
of the method for detecting the
presence of drugs in horses.
SALIVA TEST
"The Treasury Department
laboratory has an improved
method of testing the saliva of
horses for narcotics which is ef-
fective in indicating whether
such narcotics have been pre-
viously administered to the ami
NAL. AS a result, the depart
ment has received numerous re-
quests from State racing COM
missions that tests be made of
saliva taken from winning horses
to determine whether a drug
has been administered.
eve are extremely anxious to
cooperate with the various
States in their efforts to sup
press this abuse of narcotics, but
available funds are not Suffi-
cient to defray the expenses in
cident to making analysis of
horse saliva admitted for tests.
These expenses include salaries
of chemists, equipment and sup
plies.
TO CONDUCT WORK
'Tt is, therefore, proposed to
put into effect a plan whereby
the department will conduct
these tests for the various States
and will receive reimbursement
from the States"
Mr.. Elliott. however held that
Congress would have to pass Spe
cial appropriations for such work
which would otherwise be illegal

force everybody to spend his entire income

This is one of the oldest fallacies in the
history of economic thought. 1t overlooks
several vital facts, such as (1) reserves are
necessary, owing to the uncertainties of life ;
and (2) capital is necessary in order to main
