recently of the valuation OF railroads,

charges upon valuation OF the proper

ductions In charges with additional divi-
dends was recently suggested.
Now. II one company owned all Of
the transportation lines and the officers
OF that company. or some regulating
body, could arrange a schedule OF rates
that would be satisfactory TO every To-
cality served, together with an equally
satisfactory formula for ascertalning the
increases and decreases hi rates that
would be necessary In order TO maintain
proper relation between gross earnings
and net available for dividends II would
seem an attractive plan. although some
jealousies might develop about taxation
and as 10 the localities that should first
be accorded new terminals double-track-

Clearly reductions in rates would not
provide for increased revenue available
for extra dividends unless the increase in

A SENSATION FROM
ADMIRAL bob EVANS

So much has been written about the
Panama canal that one is inclined to
pass hastily over what, upon careful
reading, proves to be the most remark

American magazine. As matter OF

There seems to be some opposition TO
the new plan on the part OF the younger

figure that they would not benefit from

the longer period Of payment.
