Frank T. Campbell of Des Moines. ex-
railroad commissioner. appeared before the
executive council in the public hearings now
proceeding on railroad taxation, and made
a red hot argument for an increased assess
ment He showed that thirty states had high
er assessments than Iowa. '~ r- - J.
Governor Cummins made a statement
squarely opposing many arguments of the
railroad representatives as to methods of
assessment. He became involved in an arsu-
ment on the question with A. S. Dudley OF
the Milwaukee road, who took the position
that the value OF a railroad is represented
by the cost that would be entailed In intro
ducing it. T.. Il j.
Governor Cummins Immediately differed
with him. He said he believed the value OF
a railroad is what it sells for IN the Market
Just the same as other property.
The question to be determined, he says,
is the relation which railroads bear to the
medium of exchange If they sell for more
than the cost OF reproduction, they are worth
more, and vice versa. They are worth the
amount of capitalization If they will sell Tor
that much. -.'~ s-
