COMMISSION TO APPRAISE
RAILWAYS.

The state railroad commission
has taken upon itself big but
important task in deciding to
institute a course Of investiga-
lions for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the costs of construction
and the present value of all rail-
road property in the state, says
the Trade, To secure an esti-
mate of such values and costs a
corps of engineers will be kept
busy for the next four months.
The commission has arranged to
cooperate with the officials of
the railroads in abstracting the
necessary data from the railroad
records and maps, doing only so
much personal inspection of
lines and property as is neces-
sary to serve as a check and TO
verify the work done by the
commissions agents in the rail-
way Offices. BY this method it
is expected that the work will
be completed much earlier than
in other safes which have pur-
sued similar Investigations, and
at much less expense.
The commission considers this
the most important work before
it at the present time, inasmuch
as the future work of the COM
mission relative to ordering
changes in rates will depend up
on the result and upon the DOS
session of such knowledge as is
sought by the commission. II
lis, held that the regulation of
freight rates must be based up-
on the value Of the railroads and
the cost Of operating them. The
United States supreme court in
a recent decision covering this
point said: THE basis of all cal.
culations ras to the reasonable.
ness of rates to be charged by
corporation maintaining a high.
way under legislative sanction
must be Ethe fair value of the
property being used by it for the
convenience of the public. And
in order to ascertain that value,
the original cost of construction,
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1906-10-06

the amount expended in perma-
nent improvements, the amount
and market value of its bonds
and stock, the present as COM
pared with the original cost of
construction, the probable earn
ing capacity of property under
particular rates prescribed and
the sum required to meet opera
tioning expenses, are all mat
ters Of consideration. "
The state commission holds
that what the railroads is en-
titled to is a fair return upon
the value of that which it en-
ploys for the public convenience
and that what the public is en-
titled to demand is that no more
be extracted from it for the use
of public highway than the
services rendered by it are reas-
onably worth.
This is a good safe rule to 90
by, and so long as the commits
sion sticks to it as a guiding
principle, it will have the full
support and confidence of all the
fair minded people Of the state.

DON'T LIKE ROOSEVELTS
ORDER.

The "simplifed" spelling
which President Roosevelt has
ordered the public printer to use
in publication of executive and
departmental correspondence and
publications, has already pro-
yoked some sharp comment in
several departments in Wash
ington. 1t has been brought to
the presidents attention, with
request that he once more
state exactly what he means"
Last week Public Printer Still
ings received the first kick re-
garding simplifed spelling. The
protest came from the depart
ment of commerce and labor and
the bureau Of education.
The copy as sent to the print
ing office was written according
to standard spelling, but when
the proof came back to the au-
thors they found many simpli-
fled words, and they proceeded
to correct them" but the re-
vised proof showed up promi-
nently without the correction,
and then the department jumped
onto Public Printer Stillings for
not following copy. The public
printer, however, only smiled
and called attention to the order
he had received from the presi-
dent of the United States, the
order setting forth that the pub
lie printer was to use the new
simplified spelling.
AS the public printer says, he
had no discretion in the matter,
so the simplifed spelling would
be used in the printing office.
But the department of COM
merce and labor and the bureau
of education are not the only
ones to give a holIer" against
the new order of spelling. The
navy department and the treas
ury department have also emit
ted a fierce yell, because the
public printer still insists on fol-
lowing the presidents order.

ALCOHOL FROM POTATOES.

ALCOHOL FROM POTATOES.
The department of agriculture
is seeking a plan by which the
farmer may cheaply make his
own denaturized alcohol for light
and fuel. DR.. Galloway, chief of
the bureau of plant industry,
has sent agents to Europe to
study the big notatoe that is
grown in many sections Of this
continent and arrange to intro
duce it here.
This potato has small value
for edible purposes, but it is
i several times as large as our
common potato. An acre of
ground, it is said, will grow
enough to make 600 gallons of al
cohoI, which means light, heat
and power for a farm household
for a year.
After the alcohol is extracted,
the residue is still useful for
feeding to livestock. Secretary
Wilson and DR.. Galloway antici-
pate that in few years it will
constitute one of the most useful
crops.
The department has arranged
with a big establishment in the
west to take 10000 tons of its
refuse-corn stalks, husks, tops
and ends Of beets. cobs, etc. -
to be used in experiments in
the reduction of alcohol.
