wATERED STOCKS.

In connection with the agitation
that has been going on looking towards
the squeezing out OF the water from
railroad stocks. or rather preventing
the watering of stocks in the future,
the report of the Minnesota Legislative
committee appointed TO probe into the
matter OF the intrinsic value OF Min
nesota railroad properties is OF interest.
The committee finds that the total
value OF Minnesota railroads S2i5, 900,
600, OF approximately s27, 900 per mile.
This property Is capitalized at s4OO. :
900. 900. or about $50. 900 per mile.
The committee finds that the earn
ings per mile amounted TO s., 600 or is
per cent on the committees valuation.
In this connection the Great Western
system methods are laid bare.
The capital stock and funded debt of
the road Is si43. 66s per nile and the
committee considers IL valued at about
one e.fifth that, or s2s, 600 a mile. In
its last report the company certifies
that line and equipment cost sos, OIL
per mile, and in detail of its statement
there is an item, purchase construct
ed road S68. 994. 63 per mile. :. This
would mean $50. OOO 900 for the whole
line In 1891 there was reported for
purchase OF constructed roads, g.,
3i3, 19i. So II was then Sl5 miles
long Fifteen years later, says the
committee, this elastic item had been
stretched to $50, 344. %. but the whole
line had shrunk sixty miles In length.
IL had been watered too much.
IL is this juggling OF railroad pro-
perties and railroad securities that has
aroused the public and lead them to
question the stability OF railroad
values Eliminate the Harrimans,
Stickneys and their kin from American
railroad management and place the
properties on an honest business basis
