With a view TO arriving at a basis
whereby it may act intelligentiy in max
ing rates OF correcting rates OF which
complaint is made 10y shippers, "a power
conferred upon it by the Hepburn rail-
road-rate act. the Interstate Commerce
Commission has appointed a committee,
distinguished in personnel which has
been charged with the duty of ascertain
ing the average lives of "a freight car, a
railroad tie. a locomotive "a steel rail-
and the thousand of other pieces Of
equipment that make up a great railway
system.
One Of the problems encountered by the
commission in its work Of enforcing the
new rate act is 5hat embodied in the pres
ent practice of railway companies in
making charges against their receipts on
the score of depreciation of equipment
In making rates, or changing them, the
commission must have in its possession
fun data covering every item Of eXpendi-
ture in the conduct and management of
railroads.
No Uniform Practice.
Inquiry has developed that among rail-
roads no uniform practice prevails as to
the amounts set aside for depreciation of
property, and as this is an important
question 10 be considered in making a
rate. the commission regards il as impor-
tant to obtain accurate information as 10
the depreciation III "a given period of
equipment used by railroads.
This is only the beginning Of an in
quiry that will. in all probability extend
into every branch OF the railroad busi-
ness. covering in the main all railroad eN-
pense accounts. and establishing for the
first time standard figures in that regard
that are expected 10 be helpful TO the
railroads as 10 the government
When the commission decided 10 make
the investigation il made up its mind %

created a committee on depreciation.

Mr.. Delano was selected because OF bis

TWO questions. the white and the cOl0red

race is going TO hinder the progress Of

do not anticipate that We will need two
