COST OF INQUIRY $1,25O,OOO.
Prof. Adams Gives Estimate on Rail-
road Investigation.

It would cost the government s1,?50, 600
to make valuation of the physical prop
erty of the railroads Of the United States.
according to Prof. Adams. statistician of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
This is the substance Of statement Of
Prof. Adams in a letter addressed by him
TO Chairman Martin A. Knapp apropos Of
a communication received by the commits
sion from the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee as TO the ACCESSIBILITY Of Con-
gress authorizing an inquiry with a view
to valuing railroad properties in order to
provide data as a basis for fixing or re-
adjusting rates,
After conference with the President
Chairman Knapp. acting for the commits
sion. Informed the Senate committee that
in the present status of legislation it
would probably be better TO delay any
authorization in this matter.
Prof. Adams expressed the opinion that
a physical valuation of railway properties
might be more or might be less than the
value computed from the earnings on the
basis of an established schedule of freight
and passenger rates. He declared that il
was desirable. if the government intended
TO value railway properties. that Congress
should pass an act authorizing such work
of inquiry

tanned
The Indiana Senator asked Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks TO submit the point 20 the

TO decide whether he or the Senate should
pass judgment.

Wisconsin over objected" Tet0rted Mr..
Beverage
THE Senator from Indiana is imperti-
nent, responded Mr. SpoOner with d
show Of warmth.
