camel-back steel bridge $40 fee,
long and consisting of two 16o
foot sp ms for $4,000, which was

To See What Railroads Are Worth ?

1t is probable that the Presiden,
will cease his campaign to ascer
tain the actual valuation of railroad
property. On every hand he has
heard protests against his plan for
an appaisement Of the value of the
roads. He is assured that such a
move would cut the price of secur-
tiles in two and that milliors and
millions of investments would be
deprecated. In investls at;ng the
subject Of railroade tie Pres,den,
has been l. clo~e touch with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and It is believed now that he will
over to that body the physical side
OF the railroad proposition. The
Commission has nearly sufficient
authority to ascertain the valuation
OF railroad property and determin-
Ing what is just aud reasonable
rate the Commission may irquire
Into the value of the roads. If he
ooes leave this troublesome ques-
ton to the Commission, Congress
would probably be called upon next
winter to enact amendments to the
rate law which would facilitate such
WORK. and the Commission, which
mas concerned itself with a vast
variety OF less important matters,
would have to bend all of its energy
ana talent in keeping in touch with
the railroad world.

SANTO DOMINGO
TREATY SENT IN
Roosevelt Would Like Authority
to Act as Collector of
Bad Debts.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The president
today sent TO the senate the new treaty
with the republic OF Santo Domingo
relative to the revenues of that coun-
try. The new agreement is confined en-
tirely to the matter OF the collection
of revenues. 1t sets forth in the pre-
amble the fact that Santo Domingo has
entered upon an agreement with her
creditors which is made contingent
upon the fact that this country shall
collect the money. and it is then agreed
that the president Of the United States
shall appoint a representative of the
government rs receiver general to take
charge of all the funds collected and
provide means for their collection.
The treaty will go direct to the COM
mittee on foreign relations and there
will be a determined effort TO have il
reported and acted upon before the ad-
journment Of the present session Of
congress. Many Democratic senators
have indicated their willingness that
this should be done, but Senator Nor
gan, who is the leading Democratic
member OF the senate committee on
foreign relations. has not yet given his
full assent to this program
In brief the treaty provides that the
total outstanding Indebtedness of the
country shall be capitalized at a figure
slightly below 500 goo GOO: that bonds for
this amount. issued by the Dominican
public and floated through a New York
banking house. shall be paid over to the
creditors: that 30 per cent of the Gus
toms collections of the republic. gathered
through American collectors, shall be set
apart for the redemption of these bonds.
which shall be redeemable after ten years
at the rate Of 1922 and are to run fifty
