RALEIGH, N. Cm May 24.—Receipt
of a letter from former President Wil-
son stating that in his judgment the
retirement from Congress of Repre-
sentative E. W. Pou of the Fourth
North Carolina district would be a
"serious loss to the party and to the
country,” was announced today by B.
8. Jermarn, Raleigh banker. The let-
ter from the former president was in
response to one requestng his estima-
tion of the North Carolina congress-
man, who faces opposition in this dis-
trict for renomination.
“I am glad to have an opportunity,”
Mr. Wilson wrote, "to express my con-
fidence in Mr. Edward E. Pou. He has
certainly been a most conscientious
and useful member of the House and
throughout my administration render-
ed me and the causes I believe in the
most constant and generous service.
In my judgment his retirement would
be a serious loss to the party and to
this country.”

Aside from the physical damage from

undesirable. A semi-professional at-

inclination towards tom-boyishness to

"In the southern and mountain Paci_
.l 8rouPs 12 5-10 per cent instead of
the 25 per cent so authorized.
"On inter-territorial traffic except
as otherwise provided herein, 20 per
cent instead of the 33 1-3 per cent go
authorized.”
In the matter of reasonable return
the commission pointed out that until
March 1, 1922, railroads had been le-
gally entitled to 6. per cent annual
earnings on the aggregate value 02
property used in transportation
The sum was fixed by the transpor-
tation act as the amount equal to 5%
per cent wit hone-half of one percent
additional to be granted in the dis-
cretion of the commission for provision
for improvements and betterments U.
railroads. The commission exercised
this discretion and the reasonable re-
turn consequently had generally been
Known as "the 6 per cent return.” The
commission in modifying the fair re-
turn standard, reviewed testimony
taken by It in the general rate cas
and concluded that "a sudstantial re-
duction in the percentage of return
might be unsettiing in its effect, par-
ticularly in light of the fact that the
roturn allowed in 1920 was not real-
ized.
"We may observe that a fair return
of 5.75 per cent," the commisslon sasa
in further explanation, “• • • after
deducting the Federal corporation in-
come tax on a return or 6 per cent,
would be approximately th, equivalent
onsain return of • per cent out or
which the Federal Income tax was
payable."
