2"“ ADVISES FLEHARTY TOFIGHT FAREHIKE Capper Says Burden of Proof Must Be Placed on Company. Expressing the opinion that “you will be just as active and lous mn the people’s behall as any lawyer acting in behalf of an individual client and that your purpose will not be to consider the matter from a judicial standpoint, but as an advocate of the public' in- terests,” Senator Capper. chairman of the Senate District committee, has written Ralph B. Fleharty, people's counsel, pointing out that every proper legal step should be taken in the Capi- tal Traction rate increase case to place | upon the company the burden of proof as to the need for a higher fare. Senator Capper outlined in detail what he regarded as the policy Congress intended should be adopted by the people’s counsel in rate cases and ex- | pressed confidence that Mr. Fleharty | would take the same view. The Sema- tor made it clear that he was not per- sonally undertaking to say in advance | what the decision of the should be, but to express his belief as to the part the people’s counsel should take in such cases. rate cas2 k | | | | Had Heard Doubts.
