they would actually cost for ready cash,
with prudent management, and water
ing the stock of the nominal average
cost of railroads has been increased to
two or three times their actual cost per
mile. To permit railroad charges high
enough to pay dividends on these ficti-
tious amounts is great injustice to the
people of the state, and should be
stopped. Those who put their
money in railroads are entitled
to reasonable income on the
value of the property which they
furnish for the public accommodation
and no more. That the present or
former owners were 80 embarrassed for
ready money that they paid higher than
the market price for labor or material
or both; or that they mismanaged the
building or the subsequent operation of
the railroad, whereby large sums were
wasted or stolen, or were secured as
profits by shrewd manipulators OF its
capital stock and other securities. is no
reason why these wasted sums should
be added to cash cost of the road and
the public charged dividends thereon.
The public had no share in the admins
tratiOn of the affairs of the road, and
ought not to be made in any way to
suffer from the results, whatever they
may be. The present value of that por-
tion OF the railroad property which was
finished by the builders is the basis on
which charges for railroad service should
be made and dividends should be calcu-
lated and paid. 1t is not what the prop
erty cost, nor what it was worth at some
former time, but simply and solely the
amount for which the property could be
duplicated with ready cash and good
management. On that sum and on that
alone the owners of railroad property
are entitled to have regular, reason
able and certain income. The legisla-
ture should therefore by law;
First-Declare what rate per cent is a
reasonable yearly income on railroad in
vestments.
Second-Cause every railroad prop
erty in the state to be appraised an
nually at it's actual cash value; that is,
at what it would cost to duplicate it.
Third-Direct each railroad to limit
its charges so that its net income will
not exceed that prescribed by law and,
in addition, some further allowance for
a sinking fund as q provision against un
usual losses or misfortunes.
Fourth-Require each railroad to re-
port periodically to the state an account
of its receipts and disbursements.
Fifth-Declare all income of railroads
beyond what is allowed by law to be an
overcharge and require it, as such, to be
turned into the public treasury.
The above, in substance, will sooneror
later become the policy of the whole
country, because it is simply just both
to investors and to the people. How
soon it will be adopted will depend on
how soon the equities OF the case shall
be generally understood.

never been very clearly proven that she is.
But some women are constantly in such q
nervous irritable condition that the slightest
thing annoys and startles them. The cause Of
this unfortunate state of affairs is usually
some functional arrangement; some Distress

ment or peculiar weakness incident to her

A New Railroad Policy.

Whatever else the legislature shall do
at its next session it ought to devise and
enact railroad policy for California
founded on strict justice to the people
on one side and to the corporations on
the other. 1t is injustice alone that
makes friction between the people and
the railroad companies of the state.
Under policy that would be just to
both, the railroads would be to the state
only blessing, and to their patrons
simply business advantage. Such a
policy would be model from which
other states would pattern their own
railroad laws.
The respective rights OF the public
and the railroads are these: A railroad
is semi-public institution. Common
carriers have in law always been so
held, even in primitive times when
teams only were the means OF trans
porting persons and property on the
public highways. Railroads partake OF
this public character still more, by vir-
tue of the states permitting them to
exercise its right of eminent domain
and take from private owners their
lands for railroad use. But railroad use is
public use, for even the state has no right
to take private property for private use,
and can not, of course, authorize cor
poration to do what it has no authority
to do itself. The franchise also whereby
the railroad makes itself practically
monopoly with the consent of the state
and property, too) belongs wholly to the
state, and is loaned to the corporation
without charge, and with the right re-
served on the part of the state that it
may take it away whenever it sees fit.
All it's corporate powers are likewise
free public grant from the state, but also
as loan only which the state may re-
sumo at its pleasure. Now this franchise
and all these corporate privileges that
belong to the state are valuable, and
constitute an important item in the
money worth of the railroad, and add
largely to the value of the ties and rails
and other property furnished by the
builders of the road AS these valuable
owners of the other property OF the cor
poration, but to the state, it is not just
that the corporation should make its
charges for service so high as to
pay dividend to the corporators
not only on their own interests in the
railroad but on those large values which
belong to the people and which the
state has bonded to these corporators
free OF charge. Only on their own are
they entitled to an income. This just
rule duly enforced would relieve the
public from paying charges for the use
of what belongs to themselves, and
would constitute quite considerable
item of saving.
Another large sum on which divi-
dends are wrongfully paid at the ex-
pense of the public is the excessive
nominal cost Of ths railroads over what
