WORK ON ALDRICH BILL
THE BOND AMENDMENT.

Valuation Project.
IFrou The Tribune Bureau.l


Washington. Feb 24-The proposition so to
amend the Aldrich bill to provide that rail-
road bonds shall be received by the Secretary
Of the Treasury only after he has ascertained,
through the Tnferstats Commerce Commission
the value Of the property which they are
based, is gradually taking concrete form. It
is probable that the amendment will provide
simply that the Secretary must have ascertafned
the value Of the property nlortgaged before ac-
cepting the first mortgage bonds a any rail-
way In this form the amendment would an
swer all the objections presented by those who
maintain that good business methods demand
that the government shall not accept a mort
gage property the actual value of which it
does not know and yet would avoid the extreme
contention of those who have sought by indirect
methods TO obtain a valuation Of railroads to
be used basis fer urging further reduc-
tion OF rates.
II is possible for instance. that railroad de-
string 10 issue bonds available under the Allrich
sct would merely negotiate loan on its ter
r1iRal facilities in New York or St Louis,
some particular short line which it owned. When
such bonds offered at the Treasury Depart
ment it would be a comparatively simple mat
ter for the Interstate Commerce Commission to
ascertain the precise value Of the somewhat linn
ited property pledged within a reasonably brief
