A valuation of the properties OF
the railroads of the United States
can be brought about by the power
now lodged In the hands OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
in the judgment of several of its
members. Legislation by Congress
may not be necessary to secure this
result, as a close examination OF
the new rate law has led to the be
lief that those features providing
for uniform system of accounting
by the railroads can be utilized for
the purpose of learning the exact
amount of the income and expense
of the roads and other facts which
would disclose the value.
President Roosevelt agrees with
the members of the commission
that valuation should be made
to furnish a definite standard by
which to gauge the actual worth
of railway securities. An APP
praisement of such tremendous
scope would cost much money.
An appropriation by Congress
would be necessary. Legislation
of this kind, would necessarily
attract public attention, be the
occasion of much discussion and
necessarily would be classed as
another radical Roosevelt measure.
To obtain congressional action
the President would find it neces
sary to make a whip and spur
campaign. The result easily
might be a serious business dis
turbance; just the thing which the
President for many reasons wishes
to avoid. Hence the President
hesitates before tackling the pro-
position in this manner, and is
inclined to the alternative suggest
ed by the members of the commits
sion. They regard the power over
the bookkeeping of railways as the
most drastic conferred by the new
law, greater even than the rate
making power. 1t will take some
time to organize system of sup
eryision of the railway bookkeep,
ing, but when the system is per
fected the commissioners conf
IDENTIFY believe that not only will
rebating and discrimination in
rates become an impossibility, but
an accurate index to railway
values will be afforded.

Not a paper has courage to
whisper the name Bailey of Texas,
as candidate on the Democratic
national ticket, or in any other
position of prominence. What a
pity that so promising a man
should have had his political career
ruined by tampering with corrup-
tion. He has merely served to
illustrate that the people of the
United States will not tolerate the
idea of a representative of State
dicKering with a criminal corpora
ton TO illegitimately advance its
interests.

justified by conditions now exist

SaCHER B8HDSMEu
CaN NOT Be HELD
No Bond For Fulfillment Of Con
tract Was Ever Given City
by Sacher.

The bond held by the city of Pull
man does not require the construction
of the park sewer by the bondsmen of
H. W. Sacher. who was given the con-
tract for the building of that sewer,
but who decamped before he had even
commenced the work on the contract.
The contract price for the laying of
the sewer was $4,000, and the certified
check for 1920 which Sacher had put
up when he made his bid was returned
on the filing of the bond which is now
the subject of the controversy. This
bond, which was duly approved by the
mayor, was signed by Sacher as prin-
cipal, and Neil Stewart Sr., Chas.
Waters and Geo. Ewing as sureties,
Mr.. Stewart qualifying for the sum of
$1,000. and Messrs. Waters and Ewing
for $500 each. When Sacher left it
was supposed that these bondsmen
would be called upon to go ahead with
the contract, but examination of the
bond proves that it does not call for
the carrying out Of the contract at
all, but is simply the bond required by
state law to be given by public con-
tractors to protect laborers and mater
ial men. Under the bond the bonds
men can be held only for bills for la
Dor or material, and as none were
contracted, there is no liability against
the bondsmen.
1t is unfortunate that the city was
lax in this matter, as it will necessi-
tate another call for bids, and will de-
lay the work till it may be impossible
TO finish it this fall, and the sewer is
badly needed.

ROADS MUST JOIN TRACKS.

Two of the three members of the
state railroad commission signed an
order recently requiring the 0. r. &
NJ, Great Northern and Northern Pa
citic to make physical connections of
their tracks in the Palouse country.
Pullman being one of the points efrct-
ed. Chairman Fairchild refused to
sign the order as to creation of the
stations.
The order requires the roads within
twenty days make agreements az to
location of connection tracks and ap
portionment of the cost. In event of
the failure Of the roads to come to an
agreement within that time the COM
mission will order the location and
will decree the share Of the expense
each road must bear. Evidence as to
these connections of tracks was heard
some time ago by the commission.
The order issued requires connect
ions of the tracks of the Northern Pa
cifc with those of the O. II. e. N. at
Connell, Pullman, Pennington and
Oakesdale. Connection between the
Spokane & Inland electric line and the
o. r. & N. at Waverly, Thornton, and
CoIfaX, and between the Spokane &
Inland, Northern Pacific and O. r. &
N. at Garfield and Oakesdale. Pro-
posed connections a+ Rosalio opI po
louise are not ordered by the majority
of the commission because the tracks
of the respective roads do not cross at
grade, nor intersect nor do the roads
terminate at or near such stations, as
provided by the state constitutional pro-
vision regarding track connections.
Chairman Fairchild dissented as to the
order requiring the connections at
Thornton, Pennington, Pullman and
Waverly.
