Fof ac explanation of the abbrevia- tions in tables one and two, and else where in this opinion. see Appendix A. For the purposes of the determina- tion of this case. 1t is unnecessary to consider the Lafayette Railway Com pany. the Mobile and Bay Shore, the Chattahoochie Valley Railroad Com pany, the Tallassee and Montgomery Railroad Company. the Tombigbee and Northern Railway. and the Tuskegee Railroad Company. These are lines ranging from five and one-half miles in length to about forty miles, capitalized at from $60 900 to $250,000 for their entire tions exert any material bearing upon the questions involved in the petition before the Commission.
 The roads contained in the foregoing tables one and two constitute an entire list of the common carriers of this State. with which the public have any concern in this proceeding.
 The earnings shown in tables one and two include the pro-rata share of in- terstate business added to the intra- state business of the several railroads mentioned in these tables. Deducting the interstate business from the purely intrastate business, and considering the latter alone, which this Commission is by law required to do in revising and LTelBnt TdteS WttHin IHlS State and it will readily be seen that the above per centage of earnings will be materially reduced In some in- stances these earnings will be entirely wiped out by such a reduction; and where deficits are already shown. it necessarily follows that such a deduc- tion will increase the deficit for such roads on purely domestic business.
 Purely 1ntrastate Business 0ne-third
 of the Whole.
 The result obtained by separating the interstate from the intrastate business. in obedience to the mandates of the law, Is shown in table three. which shows the per cent earned by the roads therein mentioned upon purely domestic busi- ness.
 After careful investigation, we have found that in no case does the intra- state business exceed one-third Q-9 of the entire business of the several rail road companies under consideration. In many instances the proportion of such business to the whole is materially less than one-third Q-3. But for the pur- poses of convenience, and for being safely within correct limits, we have taken one third Q-0 of the entire busi- ness to ascertain the earnings from in trastate or domestic business. This brings us then easily to the conclusion that the per cent earned upon intra- state business is one-third Q-0 of the per cent earned upon the combined busi- ness shown in tables one and two.

Chat Sou. .. ..Deficit of l.sSO % Prox Cost of Local Business Ten Per Cent
 Higher.
 It further appears beyond controversy that he cost of doing local or domestic business is greater than the cost of in- terstate business. The evidence as to this additional cost is varying. but we can safely adopt the percentage sane tioned by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Ames case, namely 10 per cent for the additional cost of local business. This rule necessitates the further reduction of the percentage of earnings upon domestic business, shown in table three by 10 per cent, and we have then arrived at the basis which the law and the courts declare to be the correct one for the determination of the action of this commission.
 But were we permitted to view the case in the more favorable light of the earnings from the combined interstate and intrastate business. the question would still arise as to whether those earnings reveal that the railroad com panIes operating in Alabama are deriv- ing from their business more than "a fair and just return on their value, in- cluding appurtenaces and equipments"
 In this connection 1t is significant that while the average capitalization per mile of railroads in the United States as whole is about sixty four thousand ($64.- 00000) dollars. the highest capitalization in Alabama is that of the Southern Railway Company at about sixty-one thousand C$61 0.OO) per mile, upon which it earned for 1902 3-4 per cent. upon it's entire business. and about seven twelfths of one per cent upon its domes-
 what is Fair and Just Returup
 As to what Is "a fair and just re- turn there may be and is some lati- tude for variation of opinion. One phase of the question which can not be ignored is. what interest Is capital legally permitted to earn in Alabama. It is well understood. however, that large capital is satisfied with small re- turns The larger the capitalization, the smaller the return to be expected.

 Pickett,s sppring.

ASaSsse - hSkF@@>~o'
 The Pan-American minstrels. with the Pan-American Comedy Four. Johnny Healy. the La,roy brothers. Musical Mar tins and Leighton and Leighton will be the attractive offering at the Casino for this week, commencing with the tntro- ductory performance Monday night. and including the popular family matinees on Wednesday and Saturday.
 The first part promises to be most interesting and attractive entertainment. for the niinstrels will put forth their best efforts to make merry in the opening and Manager Looney is going to show how elegant a first part setting can be made when one has the material for the effect. He Is going to make setting that will be about the handsomest that has been seen at the Casino.
 So far as the company itself is con- cerned it has more than made good over this circuit. It has been classed as about the best thing that has been presented this summer. and Mir. Wells Is figuring to make room for 1t to play return engage nents at several of the places, especially at Ocean View. Norfolk. where the stand ing room was at a premium after the opening night There are entertainers with the organization. more than well known They have made big hits in vaudeville. and. at least. two of the fea- lures arc classed well In the directory of headline acts.
 The American Comedy Four is composed of talented singers. who will render series of song selections that promise to please, and they have gotten away from the stereotyped style of quar- tet acts by entertaining in the manner of a comedy sketch. John Healy Is one of the most successful and decidedly popu- lar monologuists. He has eclipsed the work of some of the big stars in the man. ner in which he tells a story. and he has . fund of original laugh producers that will make him a favorite with the thea, tergoers before the end of the week. Tho LaToy brothers are mighty clever aero bats and they are originators of some oi the cleverest feats of the new school oi gymnastic exercises.
 The Musical Martins have a clever mu. sical act. and 'tis said that Leighton and Leighton are clever dancers.
 With the first part and the splendid olio of clever acts there should be an attraction at the Casino this week that will serve to test the capacity of the summer play house at every perform. ance that will be offered.
