Secretary of Agriculture Wallace this | morning asked 160 bright-eyed boys and girls from the farm fields of 40 States to ponder the question of what governmental powers should be dele- gated to the Federal Government and what rights reserved to the States, counties and individuals. “The shadow of the World War lies | over us,” said Wallace to the repre- | sentatives of 920,000 4-H Club mem- | bers, most of whom were born after the armistice.

Bachman, | Public Utilities Commission expert, at |the gas rate hearing before the com- | mission. | Throughout the depression vears of 1931-33, 18 per cent dividends Were | paid stockholders, while last year the | returns mounted to 22 per cent of the company’s comparatively small $2.- £00.000 capitalization, Bachman's fig- ures indicated. Compgny officials claim this capitalization does not rep- resent a true picture of the corpora- tion’s financial structure. Gross corporate income for the period 1931-34 was $7.413,163, break- ing down into $1959,714 for 1931; $1,786,014 for 1932, $1,798,741 for 1933, and $1,868,694 for 1934, Bachman testified. These figures represent gross income minus all expenses, with the exception of interest and dividend charges. Included are the earnings of the Georgetown Gas Light Co., whose stock is owned by the Wash- ngton Gas Light Co. It is this gross corporate income which is used in figuring reasonable returns based on fair valuation of property in setting rates.
