1t almost trenches on the ridiculous
to think Of the railroads favoring gov
eminent valuation Of their properties.
But it seems that it is what they are
coming to. Roosevelt luck again.
This is the third if not the fourth time
that the railroads have changed base
and come to favor the policies that the
President proposed after first declaring
that they were ruinous radicalism. This
change of heart is very simple and easily
explained. When the President first
proposed actual valuation of the rail
road properties, the roads were afraidit
would depress the paper value of their
securities, in other words, squeeze out
some of the water. Now the question
of water in railroad stocks is relative.
Some of the securities are heavily wat
cred, and that there is no denying.
Others are WateTed compared to what
they originally cost the roads, that is to
say, land values have increased till The
roads are good for a much heavier val
uation than when they were first built.
But the scheme for federal valuation
aims not so much at scaling down the
price at which the roads now value
themselves as to fix a fair valuation and
prevent the injection of a larger and
more unreasonable amount Of water.
There is some assurance that this yalua-
ton would be on a fairly equitable basis
and the railroads were opposed to it till
they found that the state legislatures were
going ahead on their own account and
making valuations OF the railroads with
in their borders. -Four states have al
ready done this, and six more are pre-
pairing to do so. This scared out the
railroad managers, and they are now
saying that one federal valuation will be
a lesser evil than 45 state valuations.
So they have switched to the Presidents
plan again. And perhaps he is smiling
quietly, but if so he is not saying much
abOnt it.

The ~Prudential's Gift,

Senator Dryden has celebrated his re-
sumption Of active business relations,
after some weeks Of illness, by the pro.
mitigation of resolutions passed by the
Board OF directors of The Prudential In
surance Company granting concessions
this year to policyholders OF %far-reaching
Importance and of vast interests to the
insurance world. By an edict which
goes forth to-day every Industrial policy
holder in The Prudential who has at
tanned the age of Is years will be pre-
scented with a free or paid-up policy for
the full amount of the insurance. In
other words, 10 furthur payment of pre-
miums will be required after the ACE
limit OF 70 years has been reached. ITO
matter how much longer the insured may
live.
'"These concessions" said Senator Dry
den IN explanation to-day, "Will relieve
holders of a great many thousands OF
policies from the payment Of any further
premiums, costing the Company over
$4,000, and a continuance of this policy
during the next ten years, it is estimated,
over three and ~one-quarter millions of
dollars. They Will, | understand. affect
proportlonately more policies than a sim
'NeN Ae'hS II ob OVICl 1uQuEbtldl luSuI-
ance company. They are entirely yoIun-
tary. They are not the result of any
legislative action, present or prospective.
but entirely in line with the general prac.
tlce of The Prudential 10 benefit the
p~olicyholders in anything that can safely
be none beyond what the contract calls
for. The Company has already made
voluntary concessions in the form of in
creased benefits, cash andimortuarv divj-
dends, more liberal paid-up policies, etc.
OF more than eight millions of dollars.
and their continuance from e a to wear
will ne ;essarily involve very large addi-
tons to this amount
E"There has been much new legislation
upon the subject OF life insurance, and
many important measures have been
passed, while many others still are pend.
ing. While it is Still too early TO forecast
the future effect of the new laws, The
Prudential may be relied upon to meet
the situation in a spirit of the utmost
fairness. Not only has the Company
always done what it was legally required
to do, but it has gone far beyond the
mere letter of the law an in the most
liberal spirit has extended to the policy
holders the privelages and advantages of
one concession after another. In other
words, the Company has always tried TO
do more than the law required, and it
may be relied upon to continue so to do.
In its final analysis statute requirements
at the best are a declaration of a broad
and general principle of administration,
and in the execution of details a success
ful company must necessarily be gov
erned by a higher law than a statute-a
moral obligation winch calls for the most
liberal treatment OF the insured, compat-
ible with safety"

LUXURY THE CAUSE
A Simple Mixture
ed For Dyspepsia

The principal and general causes
OF dyspepsia and a whole train of
distressing complaints resulting
therefrom are produced from the
present fashionable habits of luxury
and intemperance. The disease
might be well regarded as one of
the most distressing, with which we
may be afflicted. If taken in con-
slderatlon and properly treated dy-
spep1a is as cureable a disease as any.
The following simple prescription
should be taken after each meal:
Kastor Compound, 1 OF; Fluid Ex-
tract Cascara Aromatic, 1 OF; TT.
Clnchona Compound, 2 IL OF.

with these ingredients at a small
