PUG Sets August 81
For Gas Rate Hearing;
IWiII Shorten Case
By DON S. WARREN,

Washington Gas Light Co. rates
for the year beginning September /
are to be considered by the District
Public Utilities Commission at hear
ings to be opened August 81 How
much of battle will ensue was un-
certain last night, but there are
several controversial items at issue
BY majority rule of the PUG, the
hearings were limited to considera-
tion of rates, regulations and condi-
tions of service lin accordance with
the sliding scale arrangement" for
annual adjustment of customer
charges. Gregory Hankin, PUG mi
nority member, dissented insofar as
this language may preclude CON
Slderatlon of the reaSonableness CT
any element of rate-making not
withstanding the sliding scale) ar
rangement"
Under the sliding scale plan, how
ever, the PUG proposes to inquire
into the primary" rate of return
allowed the company under the ira
ditional system of rate adjustments.
The primary or basic rate of return
now allowed is 6.5 per cent, but in
earlier years 1t was higher.
Whether the OPA or other Federal
agencies would seek to intervene in
this case was not known last night
A year ago, the OPA became a party
to the gas company rate case. In
the later consideration of Potomac
Electric Power Co. rates the Federal
agencies waged a fight for heavy
rate cuts and fundamental changes
in the sliding scale plan.
Commission officials indicated
yesterday they do not intend to
permit the gas case to be protracted
this year, particularly in view of
the fact that the PUG now has un-
der investigation, and plans to have
public hearings sometime this fall,
the sliding scale plan for Pepco.
Principles adopted as a result of
such investigation and hearings, it
was suggested, later would be ap-
piled to the gas company. There
fore, one official said, there was no
good reason to go into fundamental
questions" in the preceding gas
company case.
Last year, the gas company won a
$20l 900 rate increase from the
PUG. The OPA won an appeal in
District Court, but lost out in the
District Court of Appeals which up
held findings of the PUG. The COM
pany has made refunds to its Gus
toners of some $4,000 under the
terms of a stipulation It entered into
at commission hearings. In both the
gas company and Pepco rate cases
the PUG limited to 81 per cent the
tax payments which may be charged
by the utilities to operating ex-
penses. This withstood court test in
the gas company case, but is under
attack in the court appeal in the
Pepco case, now before District
Court.
District officials said they do not
anticipate this year any question of
an increase in gas company rates,
as judged by figures on expenses for
the past test year, ended June 30.

D. {. Salvage Group
Urges Big Increase
In Paper Collection

Striving for the city's 100 per cent
support in its drive to save waste
paper for the war effort, the District
of Columbia Salvage Committee
yesterday called on all commercial
and industrial firms to increase
their efforts to collect even more
material than they are now doing
Meanwhile, James E. Collifiower
committee chairman, has announced
that meeting of officers of trash
collection firms will be held Tues
day night at committee headquar-
ters in the Washington Gas Light
Co. Building to coordinate the
drive Salvaging of material col
lected by these companies is most
important to the campaigns sue
cess.
From business houses the COM
nlittee wants all types of paper, in
cluding properly prepared mixed
paper. The latter type is not wanted
from private homes unless properly
boxed or bound Several plans for
salvaging paper have been suggested,
including one whereby portion of
money realized from its sale could
be contributed to a special employees
fund as compensation for workers

of War bonds.
Must Be Bundled.
1t has been suggested that groups
of employees be enlisted to take
charge of the paper drive, setting
aside space where boxes and paper
Of all type might be collected. The
committee repeats its warning that
great care must be exercised to avoid
violation of fire regulations. 1t urges
that various grades of paper be
separated, bundled and properly
stored to await collection
1t is pointed out that firms must
be careful to keep the paper as clean
as possible and dry 1t also should
be kept free from the danger of con-
tamination by being thrown in with
other trash, practice that reduces
the volume of salvable material in
many instances as much as so per
cent.
Representatives of e. establish
ments are on the District of Colum-
bia Salvage Committee and the
opinion is unanimous that all will
have a substantial contribution.
Every one in business firms is
asked to do their best to achieve
the goal of saving an additional
100000 tons of paper this year as
requested by the War Production
Board
Plans for collection of papers in
residential districts are being made
by area captains. but it has been
suggested that groups confer on the
best methods of doing this. Char
liable organizations, civic associa-
tions, boys clubs, fraternal groups,
parent-teachers associations and
others interested will help gather
waste materials.
The District of Columbia Salvage
Committee will arrange to collect
bundles of $50 pounds or more from
private residences but can not call
for less than that because of man
power and transportation prob
lens.

the company was entitled to claim
rate increase because for the pre-
vious test year its rate of return fell
below per cent.
The amount of the increase
claimed by the gas company last
year was reduced, however, by ac-
tion by the PUG ON the tax pay
ment credits and other changes in
financial accounts.

More Tuxes Wanted

It is interesting that Secretary
Morgenthau should have renewed
his request for an additional $45,-
OOO,OO0,0OO in new taxes and savings
at time when the House, the Sen
ate and the administration have
been so unsuccessful in their efforts
to agree on a satisfactory pay-aS-
you-go plan.
Mr. Morgenthau wants to raise
around 16,OoO.OOO0OO in new taxes.
To do this. as he very frankly states,
the main burden will have to be i'm
posed on those with incomes of less
than $4,000 year, for the levies on
the higher incomes cannot be greatly
increased without approaching out
right confiscation. Yet, curiously
enough, it is this lower-salaried
group-those to whom the Treasury
looks for the bulk of its needed new
revenue-that stands to suffer most
unless a real pay-as-you-go system
is put into effect.
The Senate, in passing a modified
version of the Ruml plan, went on
record in favor of the best method so
far proposed. This plan, previously
beaten in the House, met defeat
again by greater margin after the
President had threatened to veto it.
This veto threat was not accom-
panied, however, by any statement
of plan that would meet with
presidential approval, and the result
is that Congress, lacking any worth
while guidance from the administra-
ton, is getting nowhere fast.
This being the case, one cannot
help but wonder what is In the back
Of Mr.. Morgenthau's mind when he

Lip Service Only

From The New York Herald Tribune.
The complete failure of the trainers Of
this countrys war tax measures to relate
them to changes in individual incomes
is emphasized in a study in the April
issue of The Tax Review by Prof. Harley
L. Lutz of Princeton University. Be-
tween 1910 and 1941, Prof. Lutz shows
the aggregate income of individuals re-
porting less than $4,000 net income in
creased by more than $40 1000, 900, 900, yet
the income taxes paid by these persons
rose in the same period by only $685.
100000. In other words, the rise in taxes
paid amounted to only about per cent
of the increase in net income. Contrast
this with what happened in the case of
incomes Of more than $4,000. Between
1910 and 1941 the total net income re-
ported by this group rose by only s2,225,-
100000, while taxes paid by its members
increased sl,34O 100000, or 60 per cent
of the total. Virtually all economists
agree that the most effective method
of combating imitation is to draw off
excess profits resulting from the war
time expansion of industry and agri-
culture. The administration itself has
given lip service to this theory time and
again; and 1t is actually applied with
respect to corporate profits.

Adults Defended Against Charge Of
"IntoIerance" Toward Children.

To the Editor Of The Star:
May I have the privilege Of comment
ing upon letter in The Star entitled
"Wave of Juvenile Misbehavior Due to
Adult Intolerance" and signed Margaret
G. Miller?
May I disagree with the author most
emphatically? She claims that juvenile
misbehavior is due to the intolerance of
adults, parents and otherwise. To my
have children been 50 indulged 1t is
unfair to the children and has reached
the point of Wickedness. Fathers and
mothers and sometimes aunts and uncles
are working night and day trying to see
that their small relatives shall have
better chance than they did I should
like to know where Miss Miller has
been to encounter intolerance toward
children?
Even in buses and on streetcars in
dulgent parents allow their offspring to
crawl right down your back. Should
you protest, you are IAN old meanie.'
Miss Miller says that our children are
what we make them. We don't make our
children. They are the result of thou
sands of strains of hereditary traits.
We may shape them, but we certainly
do not make them, Whatever children
are today (discounting the fact of hered-
itary tendencies) is due to too much
indulgence and not to intolerance on the
part of adults. LAURA K. POLLOCK.
