Of railroads as basis upon which e
calculate rates are now beginning Il
come around 10 the Senator'S way OF
thinking Even withour new rate law
passed we are still unable 70 answer
intelligently the question, what is a

Upon this point Prof Henry G.
Adams. probably the best living
authority upon railroad values, has
the following - say
1.-THE basis which Is used in figuring
railroad valuations depends largely ON
the purpose Of the valuation. II a
railroad rate is TO be determined the
physical value should be used for tax
alton purposes the commercial value
should probably be used, and for gov
ornamental purchase IL would of course
be necessary to modify either Of these
values by considerations of the possible
utility.
BY commercial value Is meant the
estimate placed as business PROPOSE
tion. and insofar as IL depends on the
income arising from the sale of tran
sportation il is the result, among other
things of an established schedule of
fratoht au1 paaaapoar rataa Ern,,
which ii follows that such a valuation
cannot be used for determining the
reasonableness or unreasonableness OF
the rates in question. The solution Of
the rate problem. therefore, demands
separate valuation OF the physical
property.
During the last session an effort
was made by Senator La Toilette to
secure an act authorizing a physical
valuation, but this effort was not sue
cessful. In his next message, il Is
rumored, President Roosevelt will adj
