D. G. Transit
LosesAgoin
On Gas Tax

The D. c. Transit System
today lost another round in its
effort to escape payment OF
about $38O,OOO in city gasoline
taxes.
The Public Utilities Commits
sion today again refused to
grant a retroactive switch in
the formula for calculating the
company's profits for the r.
month period ended last August
81.
Because of the company'S
earnings during this period. the
P. U. c. rejection of an appeal
for reconsideration leaves the
company still subject to the fuel
tax payment. The Districts
deadline for payment passed
December 81.
Under its congressional fran
chlse, the company is exempt
from this tax if its net operat-
ing income figures out to less
than 6l2 per cent of the profit
base.
| During the year ended August
81, the rate of return on the
rate base - a S13.3 million
value set by the commission on
tangible property-was slightly
more than 7 per cent. The
company had asked that this
base be changed to gross operat-
ing revenue, which amounted
to about $27.7 million.
If the P. U. c. had agreed to
using the $27.7 million figure
as a base. the company's rate
of return would have been less
than 6.5 per cent and the COM
pany would not be subject to
the gasoline tax.

American Marketing ASSocia-
ton and the American Farm
Economic Association, Mr.
Clague said the future or de.
ferred wage increases will moi
always add to productivity
gains.
He mentioned the 1948 Gen.
eral Motors contract.
In that contract, the commits
sioner said, there was cleal
recognition of the responsibility
of the union to cooperate ir
bringing about greater produc-
tivity to warrant increased
wages.
Largely Missing Now
However, in many of the new
agreements there is no such
contractual provision, he con-
tinued, there was often on in
dication at all of any connec-
tion between wage increase and
productivity"
With the upward surge of the
cost of living there has been a
renewal of interest in escala-
ton and the number of workers
under such escalator clauses
has increased to new peak level
Of AS million persons.
Another speaker before the
American Statistical Associa-
ton mentioned the escalatol
clauses in wage agreements.
He was Joseph w. Garbarinc
of the BrookingS Institution
and the University of Cali
fornia.
Wage oscillation appears to
have been a factor, though not
a major one, to the initiation
of the past decade"
But he did not recommend
abandoning the idea of the
system because 1t may be that
wage oscillation can be modified
to eliminate some of the most
serious objections that have
been raised"
Mr.. Clague also issued "a
word of caution" in agricultural
productivity.
He said that while it is true
that agriculture has forged
ahead since l947, this did not
show that the level of produc-
tivity on farms is ahead of the
level in non-farm industry.
The decline in agricultural
employment was the subject of
