Statistics Have Been Compiled.

Section 3498 of the Code requires that every person or corporation operating September l of each year shall make an nual returns of the business of such rail- road up to the 3oth day of June next preceding Under this section we have forms for the making of these reports. but we have experienced some trouble in getting prompt returns.
 Our construction of this section is that this data. consisting largely and mainly of statistics is necessary to be gathered in order that the Commissioners and the State Board of Assessment may. from these sworn returns ascertain the value of the different railroads in Alabama, but there is much matter contained there in of absolutely no interest or benefit to the public, and 1t is therefore a useless expense to the State to publish them as whole as has heretofore been the prac- tice.
 We have filed in. thls office. each one of these returns of the railroads which are bound and in convenient shape, where they will always be open and ac- cessible to the inspection of the public We have likewise gleaned from these re- our judgment is proper and necessary and Included the same in thls report.
 Section 3i9l of the Code makes 1t our duty to consider and carefully revise all tariffs of charges for transporta tion, and to "exercise a watchful and careful su- pervsion over all tariffs and their opera tion, and revise the same from time to time as justice to the public and the rail- roads may require, and increase or re- duce any of the rates as experience and business operations may show to be just. Under this section there Is only one limi- tation to our power, and that Is that we must 50 revise the same as to allow fair and just return on the value of the railroad, its appurtenances and equip ments."
 It seems to us therefore. that it be- comes our duty under this section to re- port. among other things our "acts and dongs'' with reference to the subject of freight and passenger tariffs. This Com mission, some time in June, requested each railroad in Alabama to file with us, in duplicate. copies of their distance tar ifs and classification of freight articles. this request and after a careful compar- ison and consideration of these tariffs and classifications. we have appended our approval to each of them Subject to re-
