PLANS VALUATION
OF ALL RAILWAYS
Important Amendment to
Railroad Rate Law Of
fered in Senate.

The most important proposals yet pre-
sented in the form of bills looking TO
amendment or the railroad rate law were
presented In the Senate last before the
holiday adjournment One directs the
Interstate Commerce Commission 10
make a valuation of the property OF
all railroads IN the country, beginning
April next; the other adds largely TO
the POWERS OF the commission, giving
1t Authority to determine and enforce a
maximum reasonable rate. a minimum
rate, didereniaIs, and such regulations
OF service as will avail TO prevent car
famines. and to fix and enforce cIassi-
fioations OF freight.
These two measures were introduced
by Senator La Toilette. They repre-
sent the propositions which he urged as
amendments OF the rate law when IL
was under consideration last session. In
his speech on that measure lie strongly
urged the absolute necessity OF a valua-
ton OF the railroads. pointing out that
before reasonable rates could be scien-
tifically determined IL was necessary
that the value of the property upon
earned be known to the rate-making
pOWrr. His amendment 10 this effect re-
ceived a number OF Republican votes
and was supported by all Democrats,
but failed OF adoption.

Such valuations OF railroad property
have been made by commissions. acting

Henry {. A. Adams. now in charge OF
statistics and accounts for the Inter

a'ung the valuation in Michiagn. and
believes such a measure ought 10 be ap-
piled 10 the entire railroad system OF the
country. This same opinion was ex-
pressed today by Chairman Knapp OF
the Commission when his attention was
directed TO the fact that the bill had
been introduced. The Commission has

Pressed al Next Session.
II is not thought likely that either Of
these measures win pass at the present
session, but they will receive considera-
ton IN committee and will be ressed
in earnest year hence IL is pretty
well known that the commission and
probably the administration Will lend
their influence at least in behalf OF the
bill for making a valuation Of the roads.
The railroads. however, VIII make a de-
termined hight against It, Deca0se Of the
fear that such valuation would dis
close that as a whole. the railroad
properties are now greatly overcapital-
lied.
1t is declared that in the past year
over $40 90 600 has been added 20 the
capitalization Of a group OF the great
systems OF the country. and that II the
reports from all the small roads could
be had the sum would far exceed
billion dollars. The unprecedented rate
al which the railroad financieTs have
lately been turning out new securities
has served 10 attract new attention TO
this proposal
The ultimate outcome. if a valuation
were once made, would doubtless be,
according To legislators and adminisgrR-

TIME FOR DIRECT VOTE.

From some quarters we have
heard much discussion on the pro.
position OF truthful statements in
advertising. We are strong I'D.
vocate Of this principal and believe
some means should be found where
by catalogue houses could be forced
to confined statements in their adj
vertising matter to the truth. The
deceptive wording and extravaganza
statements in Advertising matter,
put out by these concerns, certain
ly surpasses all others. We doubs
very much whether telling the
truth is a consideration by the
persons preparing their advertise
ments. How often we see nice
picture Of stove, buggy, carpet or
some other article with ridiculous
price in big figures quoted near it,
Out When you read Little turther
you discover the price quoted does
not fit the picture in the advertise
ment. In addition to this where
ever it is possible, they fail to give
the weight, size or quality Of an
article, depending upon the good
nature Of the customer to accept
what is sent them. If the people
would place more confidence in the
statements made by their own
merchants and less in those made
by mail order houses they would
be better of.
