WHO HAS BEEN FILM Fla AHMED:


If one may judge by statements re
Gently made to the Montana Stat
board of equalization by attorneys o
three railways in this state, the North.
ern Securities company have been film
f1ammed.
That company has taken the word
OF the three interested roads as to
their respective values; it's capitalize.
ton is based on those values. Operat.
ing some 1880 miles of road, the
three railroads have succeeded in per-
'suading the Northern Securities CON-
pany that their roads are worth on an
average about SIS, 800 mile-$33, 900
mile in bonds and $4,000 a mile in
stocks. It is not to be supposed that
this valuation was accepted without
careful investigation. On the con-
trary, it may be assumed that alb
solute proof was shown that the roads
are worth SIS, 800 mile on an average.
Otherwise, careful investors would
not have put their money into the prop
ostion.
Yet the tax attorneys Of these roads
came before the Montana state board
of equalization, wearing the guant
mask OF poverty, and deposed that
the roads were not worth more than
some 81, 500 mlle-mostly good
deal less. So the hardhearted state
board as sessed them little higher,
and the tax attorneys went away ex-
ceedingly sorrowful because they saw
visions of Poverty's Wolf ringing their
doorbells.
The Burlington has 1O2 miles Ct
lines in the state, appraised at So
$3.50 per mile, the total being $780,
992. Calculating on the basis given
i'll the statemdnt as to the bonding
OF the roads under the new deal, the
states appraisment of the Burlington
in Montana would be IS, 90, 900.
The total mileage of the Nor thern
Pacific in the state is 1876, including
main line and branches. The ar
praisment in the case Of this road is
about $4,924 per mile, the total being
SOTO, 500 According to the new ar
Management the appraiser ent would be
SIS, $50, 900.
The mileage of the great Northern
and the NJ ontana Central is 1880 and
the appraisment is 5000 per mile, Or
a total of So, 1l5,7oS. If appraised ac-
cording to the figures given out cor
corning the new combination the
the figures would show a total of S55.-
440, O0o
1t appears. then, from the figures
concerning the recent combine. that
the tax attorneys were misinformed.
that some facts and figures had been
withheld from them. For the men
who had access to all the figures we've
the men who organized the Northern
Securities company. made their own
statements as to the values of their
respective roads and accepted one
another's statements that the AVERAGE
value of the roads is SIS, 800 annie i,
stead of about IS, 900 mile. Perhar
the tax attorneys who appeared before
the state board of equalization merely
forgot to multiply their figures by
from IL to ,, an error that any one
might make under those circumstan-
ces.
SO IL was that the philanthropic at
torneys who cane to II elena TO Mead
Tor their roads stated the value of
those roads at from as to s. 5 per cert
OF the valuation accepted by the
n )rth ern Securities con ,,any, which
now expects to make the fixed charges
of $50, 100000 d year over and above
