 In the utilities field, observers attached most lasting importance to decision reversing lower courts which had set aside rates proposed by the California railroad com- mission for the Pacific Gas & Electric Company solely because the commission did not estimate the cost of reproducing the com pany's property, in setting value on the property.
 In a series of decisions dating back to l896. the tribunal had held that reproduction cost estimates must be weighed in setting utility property values for rate making purposes. The administration, how ever, has been advocating elemina- tion of this requirement. on the grounds that it handicaps rate making bodies and gives utilities an unfair advantage.

The Recession, What Caused It, And How New Dealers Think
 Pump -Priming
 Will Cure Ii

Washington, May 3l. - Now that Congress has made it clear that there is to be pump -priming in &C., cordance with the Presidents plaa for economic recovery it becomes interesting to inquire into the req sons why the pump-primers think that It can succeed.
 New Dealers say that business
 went on the tObOggan between
 1929 and 1883 when the pump was
 primed, that it started up in 1896
 when the pump was primed and
 only went to pot again in 1887
 when pump priming was too
 drasticaIIy curtailed.
 The pump -priming theory has three props. l assume the Sys- tenn will work like this: l. Gov ernment provides some purchas- ing power when private enterprise and investment stagnates. 2. Gov- ernment's new spending and in- yestment goes to persons who will spend, take goods off the market ad create a demand for more goods and employment. 3. Business &C., tiyity then increases. Corporations and wealthy men make profits and invest savings in new plants, equip ment and so on, giving private en- ployment and reducing need for government employment.

 The Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company and the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock com- pany both challenged the boards jurisdiction over their affairs on the grounds they were purely in intra-state commerce, and sought injunctions prohibiting the board from holding hearings or taking any steps with reference to their labor relations.
 But the court pointed to section 8 of the MIRA, and in effect warned all Federal courts that under 1t Cat the same time ap- proving the sections legality) no court has jurisdiction over the board until the board files a tram script of the record of case and seeks decree compelling compli- ance with board orders. But, said the tribunal, until that time the board has authority to make ny investigations or hold any hear ings it chooses.
 In cases involving the Pacific Greyhound Lines and the Penn sylvania Greyhound Lines, the court upheld the boards authority to order affirmatively withdrawal of recognition from a labor organ ization found to be company dominated.

INVENTORIES INCREASED

Whatever other implications ! these figures may have, it is demonstrated that 1897 showed more private investment than in any year since 1892 and that there was a 50 per cent drop from the combined total of the income-pro . ducing investment and pump -prim- ing of 1887 before business went sour.
 The government contribution
 fell off because of the bonus pay
 ment factor in 1886, administra-
 ton economies ad the social se-
 curity taxes. But when the total
 practically reached six billion, in
 1886, industry became so confident
 that 1t piled up an inventary in
 crease of $5,OOO, ,OOO, ,0OO between September, 1856, and September,
 1937, the biggest increase since
 1919.
 While government cut its contri- button to purchasing power by three billions industry piled up an excess of goods amounting to five billions.
 Inventories have been reduced to an unknown extent while fac- tories curtailed and men were laid off. Pump-primers don't seem to think they can build the govern ment contribution up beyond g, ,000, ,O00,0O for 1888, which means few of them hope 10 be able to do much more than hold the linc' this year. None of them dare try do less.
 And they're all praying for a revival of capital investment be- cause they believe that's the only thing that can avert the need for still more pump-priming.

WHAT HISTORY SHOWS

It hit low of $709,000,000 in 1883. But at that time govern ment pump -priming came into the picture in q large way. Pump priming is generally understood here as governments net contribu- ton to purchasing power, roughly | the difference between the amount government takes in in taxes and any larger amount which it spends. Subsequent annual history, ac- cording to the above mentioned series of figures, has been as fol- lows in terms of capital invest ment and government pump -prim- | ing:
 I933: Private, 709 millions; gov ernment, 1856 millions; total 2565 millions.
 1894: Private. 1886; govern mcnt, 3238; total, 4624. 1885: Private, 1412; govern ment, 3154; total, 4566.
 1886: Private, 1913; govern mcnt, 4025; total, 5998.
 1937: Private, 2049; govern mcnt, 900; total, 2949.
 In the first quarter of this year capital investment had dropped to a rate of about 1900 millions an nually and government was mak- ing almost no contribution at all.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-31
THEORIES AND FACTS

The theory struck a snag after national income had risen from 40 billions in 1882 to 68 billions in 1887. You can get reasons for a dime dozen, but pump-primers will tell you that -priming had reached zero early this year, as a result of business demands for budget balancing.
 Many economists hold, on the basis of past experience, that the American economic system needs about six billion dollars of annual capital investment to keep going on an even keel. The following figures, taken from a conservative New York financial journal, give you some idea what has happened in the terms in which pump primers are thinking:
 New capital investment (private pump -priming, that is) reached an all time high of over 10 billion dollars in 1929 and dropped to seven billions in 1880.
 In 1891 the flow of capital invest ment dropped below six billion dol lars a year and hasn't come any where nea Tit since.

with work on the west end hav-
