Nor will Americans forget. But

BABSON DISCUSSES "SMALL BUSINESSES"

interested in the success of the
business in which they are en-
ployed.
The increasing congestion o. au-
tomobiles, (due to the dumbness of
local city governments in not pro-
viding employers with sufficient
off-street parking lots), is causing
many families to move to other
areas to get work. The parking
nuisance, however, will give young
businessmen an opportunity to call
at homes and take orders for
goods. More business will be done
in the evenings. "Wagon-peedlers"
will increase in number and use
fulness. I forecast that the cycle
of the past 100 years from family
owned little businesses to big cor
pcrations will gradually reverse
and return to small speciality fac
tories.
Lessons from Abroad
Every time I go to Europe | am
impressed by the number of famil-
les who live on their business and
are thus able to give "24 hour"

vantage If he will attend to his

The reason for abandonment was simple
there was no oil.

the American Petroleum Institute put it,
This may be called an example of sinking

Unsuitable appetites for oil are to be met,

DC. May Ease
Rules for Taxiis

Easing of restrictions on near
by Maryland and Virginia taxi
cab operators to letn them oper-
ate in the District during the
transit strike is under study.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp said he is considering
the emergency measure which
would permit outside companies
to pick up and discharge pas
sengers within the District under
a reciprocal arrangement.
He pointed out, however, that
nearby area cab operators now
have the right to apply for
licenses in the District as well as
in their own jurisdiction.
Some of the problems involved
in a possible reciprocal agree
ment were outlined by Mr.
Keneipp.
He said any change from the
present system would almost Ger.
tainly require congressional &C.
tion. In addition questions con.
cerning insurance and inspection
would have to be solved.
Another problem is super.
vision, the question of whether OF
not the hack inspectors boarc
can call a Maryland or Virgins
operator before it," he said.
The District has reciprocal.
agreements with all nearby juris.
|dictions except Prince Georges

Georges, the agreement provide.

p. U.C. Accuses Transit
On Income Estimates

Capital Transit Co. today was
accused of undertaking its esti-
mates of expected net operating
Income for the 12-month period
which ends next April 80.
The charge was made by the
District Public Utilities Com
mission staff against James H.
Flanagan, company vice presi-
dent and controller. as the rate
case hearing resumed today in
the District Building. Mr.. Flan-
Iagan was due to remain on the
witness stand all day under cross
examination by Commission
Counsel Lloyd B. Harrison.
The P. U. C. attorney directed
his challenge against Mr.. Flana-
gan's estimate that in the one
year period in question the COM
pany anticipates a net operating
Income of only 1927 900.
Actual Income Listed
Basis for the challenge was
that actual income for the first
two months-May and June
of this period totaled $210,835.
Mr.. Harrison emphasized that
on the basis of the company's
computations Capital Transit ex-
poets to make only $117,000 net
Income in the entire 10 months
remaining in the test period.
"This," he declared. lis wholly
unreasonable and understated in
view of the level of actual earn
Iings in May and June"
The figures employed do not
take into account losses that
have been and will be incurred as
a result of the current transit
workers strike.
Mr.. Flanagan'S position, not
withstanding Mr.. Harrison's con-
|tention that there are good
revenue months" in the remain
ling 10-month period, was that
the actual income of last May
and June are mot indicative" of

deficits ranging from 5000 toI
$4,000.
The total net operating income
for the year beginning May l.
1854. was $657. 1882, or about dou-
Bile the amount of income antic-I
ipated by the company for the
year beginning last May /.
The controller and the COM
mission counsel clashed on an
other issue. Mr., Harrison con-
tended that Capital Transit
should in its computations have
deducted a $2.4 million tax item
from its $21.4 million rate base
for Washington operations
which would present an operat-
ing statement showing that the
company was earning a 4 per
cent rate Of return on its invest
ment
Mr.. Flanagan countered, how
ever, that this deduction, under
provisions, since repealed, of the
Internal Revenue Act of 1854,
should not be made.
Refusal to make the deduc-
Ition left the company with a
rate of return of only 2.83 per
cent.
Cites "Great" Deficiency
The company controller said
that the deduction should be
made in future calculations for
rate purposes, but he added, this
Is not proper in arriving at past
rates of return.
In any case, Mr.. Flanagan
declared, "the deficiency of our
earnings has been so great that
we're just batting a ball back
and forth and it's getting us
nowhere" He was referring to
the fact that the issue involved
percentage points that still were
far below the 6.25 per cent which
the commission has allowed as a
fair ana reasonable rate of re-
turn to the company, rate
which Capital Transit has never
actually realized. 81
The Capital Transit is asking
20-cent straight cash fares, its
present cash rate: an increase in
the cost of tokens to five for 95
cents over the present 80-cent
rate, and abolition of the weekly
