CHAMBER DIRECT
DECLARATION
Immediate Merger oi
Uniform Fare and
Valuation to B
Favoring an immediate merger of v
the Potomac Electric Eight and Pow- ?
er Company with the Washington a
Railway and Electric Company, a r
uniform rate of fare, and a rate of
fare which will give a fair return on
the valuation of properties, a "dec- r
laration of principles," to guide the ^
Chamber of Commerce in local public g
utility matters, was adopted last f
I night by the board of directors of *
that organization at a special meet- ?
ing In the Homer building.
The "declaration of Drincinles" ?
makes clear the stand that will be J
taken by the chamber in the hear- (ings,
the first of which was held to- *
day by the Public Utilities Commis- *
sion on public utility questions. 1
President Albert Schulteis, James c
T. Lloyd and A. E. Seymour were c
I named a committee to appear before f
the hearing today on the street rail- 1
way situation. The committee was J
given authority to speak for the 1
chamber in favor of a uniform rate 1
of fare, and to use its own judgment 1
in other matters, according to the c
evidence offered at the hearing. This
is said to be the first time that a J
chamber committee has had full au- 1
thority at a public hearing to speak J
for the organization. r
| Discussion was evoked st the meet- i
ling over a resolution introduce 1 by *
H. H. Glassie, provid:ng that the 1
chamber go on record as opposing
the zone system for fares. The mo- i
tion was defeated. (
Principles Adopted.
The "declaration of principles" follows:
1
"The utility situation in the District '
of Columbia is approaching a condi- ]
tion which demands wise counsel-ng 1
and the exercise of unprejudiced I usi- 1
ness judgment to guarantee to the
public proper consideration and ac- '
commodation. and to those who ha\e J
invested in such securities a fair and 1
just return.
"In order that such accommodation
and returns may be assured and con- j
tinued. the companies' property must
be maintained and its facilities cori
served with due regard for the pres- ,
ent and future needs of the commu
nlty. !
"The restoration of credit to public J
service corporations so that they will ,
be able to obtain new capital neces- j
sary for extension and proper equip- 15
menl is the first essential for ade- I'
quate service. The attitude taken toward
all public utility companies must j j
be of a constructive and not destruc-j
: tive nature. Local public utilities are |
an Industry which should be fostered j 1
I and developed. '
Would Remove Burdens.
. ( "All burdens unrelated to the proper
ana necessary service t'cuvimvu
should be removed. Therefore public
service corporations should be relieved
of street paving and salaries of
crossing policemen.
"We are unable to discover any reason
to justify the assertions or claims
> that better service or lower rates
; would follow public or municipal own'
ership. Therefore the position taken
j toward public utilities problems should
contemplate private ownership and
operation.
"Regulation is recognised as necessary
and proper for private ownership
> and operation, but such regulations
should contemplate changed conditions
in the community.
"Whatever form regulation takes, it
> involves duties on the part of the pubi
lie as well as on the part of the company
to protect the company serving
the public from unfair and unreasonable
competition and demands.

Company with the Washington Railt

JAPANESE ACCEPT I
HARDING PROPOSAL
FOR DISARMAMENT
(Continued from First Page.)
don or Washington Is understood to 1
depend upon the attitude of President
Harding. The British foreign offloe ,
and most of the dominion prime min- ,
isters are urging in favor of London. ;
but In view of the fact that'the lnvi- ]
tation came from President Harding
and that he suggested Washington
there is no desire here to go beyond a
mere suggestion that the gathering
be held in London. i
Melghan Favors Washington.
Premier Melghan is pressing to have
the matter decided soon, as he is anxious
to return to Canada at onoe. He '
is strongly inclined to favor Washington.
particularly as the capital of
the United States would be more suit- '
able to his own conveniences, although
he recognises there are strong argu- i
ments on the side of London.
"Don't dhili American opinion." advises
the Montreal Star, In an Important
editorial which says a mistake
will be made If the personal conveniences
of Premiers Hughes and Mas- i
say, respectively, of Australia and
New Zealand, are consulted in having
the preliminary peace conference
on Pacific problems in London.
The Star and many other Canadian I
papers and public men would like to <
see it held in Washington. <
Referring to the London possibility, i
the Star says: "This would be a |
blunder of colossal proportions in the i
reading of American psychology. The j
American people are thinking a great i
deal of the fact that this is to be an
American conference. To the Ameri- ]
can man in the street this is a policy |
of world Import first urged by Sena- <
tor Borah In the American Senate; ,
then adopted almost unanimously by ,
both houses of Congress and finally
put Into operation by President Harding."
Sees Peril In Suspicion.
Advancing reasons against the London .
proposal the Star indirectly refers to J
antl-Brltlsh organs in the states, and.
In case of a London preference, argues
thus: There are plenty of politicians
who would Insist that England was once ]
more pulling the wool over the eyes of i
Uncle Sam." England with her six i
votes?that is, her overseas sister na- <
tions, which played so destructive a '
r>oyf jYsWVtatAa nn t>ia IpnoniA nf na. l
tions, would ba represented aa cooking i
up In London a settlement which would j
afterw.ird be fed to the trusting and j
gullible American government.
Many addition strong arguments for l
having the preliminary session at Wash- t
lngton are advanced, and In closing t
the Star editor says: "Let this new
peace treaty ba made In Washington :
by men who go to Washington, unbound
and unschooled. Let the atmosphere
be American If possible. Then
we shall at least have the advantage
that as good an agreement as can be
reached will not be killed by a suspicious
American Senate."

iroperly maintain their property,

reasonable return to security holdirs."
Urge More Playgrounds.
Believing that more public playgrounds
in the city would tend to de- '
crease street accidents, the board i
unanimously adopted the resolution i
introduced by William F. Gude, chair- j
man of the parks, highways and
Bridges committee, for the immediate J
extension of the playground system >
>f Washington. Mr. Gude was author- !
zed to attend the meeting tonight at
Lhe Public Library in the interests of I
the playgrounds. It is expected that j
i large number of the parks and ;
bridges committee will accompany Mr. j
GrUde to the meeting, which will be |
under the direction of Mrs. Lucy R.
3wanton, chairman of the special |
playground committee of the Columbia j
Heights Citizens' Association.
James T. Lloyd and Chapin Brown !
were authorized by the directors to j
appear before the House Judiciary j
tnmnrrnw when it meets i
to consider the bill for the appointment
of two Supreme Court judges for
the District.
While no official winner has been
announced in the membership contest
of ihe chamber, the. board of directors
decided to give a dinner for the entire
membership committee.
The original plan of the contest
was to divide the membership committee
up into two teams, the losing
team to give a dinner for the winning
one. Both teams, however, did
such good work that the directors decided
to give the dinner instead of the
losing team. The event will probably
take place in the next week or so at
some out-of-town point.
Mr. Schulteis, Mr. Lloyd and Mr.
Seymour will comprise toe special
committee on public utilities, appointed
to confer with similar committees
of the Board of Trade and Merchants
and Manufacturers' Association.
The appointment of additional members
of the chamber to serve on the
joint convention hall committer with
members of the Merchants and Manufacturers'
Association probably will
v.- ~ ,,v.,, c?v.., v
Harper within the next few days. The
Merchants and Manufacturers' Association
has already filled out its
committee and speedy action is forecast
on convention hall planj, when
the two full committees meet.
BOARDWALK CRASH
INJURES FORTY-ONE
(Continued from First Page.)
Beach, and, as a result of the sudden
weight* this boardwalk, which was
strongly built of the best piling and
timbers and had been thoroughly Inspected
by the officials of the t6wn of
L'hesapeake Beach, collapsed in a spot
about ten by fourteen lent and precipitated
the people who happened to
be at this point into the water, which
was very shallow.
Mr. Jones stated that it is almost
impossible where crowds of people
assemble to prevent congestion and
accident, no matter what precautions
may he taken in the construction of
stands, wharves, piers, boardw&'ks
and similar structures to make them
reasonably safe for all emergencies
which can be foreseen.
Air. Jones str.ted that the town officials
would at once begin the renewal
jf the portion if the boardwalk which
had collapsed and that the work of
restoration would bo completed by
noon today, so that the excursionists
going to the Beach today would not
be Interfered with.
CHILE PLANS ilifLOAN.
Senate Acts to Offset Lobs of Duties
on Nitrates.
SANTIAGO. Chile, July 14.?The
senate In special session here yesterday
passed a bill authorizing the government
to place either in Chile or
abroad a loan of 25,000,000 pesos In
gold and 50,000,000 pesos In paper currency
at 8 per cent for five years. This
reduces the amount asked by the government
exactly one half.
The loan probably will be taken Immediately
by local bank? and will
serve to cover the arrears In the governmental
finances caused by the decreased
duties received from nitrate
transportation.
