quired Mr.. James.
Il should say so,'' responded Presi-
dent Brown. And at the same time
the Lake Shore road is not earning 6
per cent on d fair valuation or on the
money 1t would cost to replace 1t. 1t
is not earning per cent.
Il do not think 1t fair. Mr.. James,

Mr.. James pursued a line of inquiry
to obtain from the witness d state
ment as to his idea Of the proper basis
of rate making. President Brown said
Il do not think there can be any rule
in rate making. 1 think that in fixing
a reasonable basis for rates a great
many factors must be considered
The first and most important fac
tor is to provide return that will en-
able the railroad to employ full COM
plement of high-class men,"
Second, to equip it's road with modern
devices that the traffic of the road makes
necessary.
Third to pay the interest on its bond
ed debt and a reasonable return on the
money invested. and, at the same time,
make reasonably liberal provision for
adding each year something to the value
of that road. to improve and expand Its
facilities and not charge every dollar OF

or there is any definite theory that can
be advanced for fixing reasonable rate"

The First Shoe Heels.

From the Shoe Mapufacfurers' Monthly.
Heels originally came from Persia,
where they were used In the shape Of
small wooden blocks which the people
fastened below their sandals In order To
keep their feet as high above the level
Of the burning sands as possible. At hgat
they were only four centimetsrs high for
men and women alike. Soon. however.
the ladies favored fabulous sizes. reaching
I'D to as much Is thirty-etx Jcentimeters.
A few years later on these heels were
brought to Venice, where they became
the fashion: they were called chapineys
and were ornamented and decorated In
every possible style and shape that cob
bier could dream of. The height OF the
chapineys showed the rank OF the wesrer.
and finally they obtained such dimensions
that many fashionable ladies were quite
unable to walk.

Eastern Railroads Satisfied
With Freight Rates Evidence.
ARE READY TO REST CASE
Last Word by McCrea, Willard and
Brown.
STEWART TO BE LAST WITNESS
Carriers Expected to Present No
Further Plea for Advance
in Rates.

Railroads in eastern trunk line tern
tory have presented to the interstate COM
merce commission their reasons for the
proposed advances in freight rates. Coun-
sci for the roads have expressed entire
ments made by President James
McCrea Of the Pennsylvania, Pres
ident Daniel Willard of the Balti-
Brown Of the New York Central lines, the
latter being cross-examined today.
Such heavy mental and executive artil-
lery as was numbered in this legal pro-
ceeding seldom has been employed in
investigations by the interstate commerce
commission.
Public Taken Into Confidence.
Men-admittedly great financiers and
railroad executives, who, ordinarily, for
reasons obvious to themselves, at least,
do not take the public into their con-
fidence-have stated with apparent frank
ness their opinions and Views regarding
not merely the business of their respec-
tive EVs, but regarding the economic
problems with which the American trans
portatiOn companies find themselves con-
fronted. They have discussed for the
information of the commission and the
public their operations in the past and
their proposals for the future.
They have Indicated what they regard
as the endorsements under which they
are laboring in their efforts to make the
American railway system not merely the
best in the world, but of such adequacy
and efficiency as will enable the railroads
to keep pace with the tremendous devel-
opment and progress of the United States.
They have sought to justify increases

Much Money Needed.


Money-vast sums of money-must be
available, according to testimony given
by the presidents of gigantic systems, to
carry their plans into effect. They are
unanimous In the opinion that the neces-
sary funds can be obtained. directly and
indirectly, only through reasonable ad-
vance in freight rates, which, they say,
aside from the money thus derived,
would make their securities more attrac-
tive to investors.
1t is expected that the railroads will
conclude their case today. At the open
ing of today's proceedings President
Brown Of the New York Central resumed
the witness stand for cross-examination.
The only other railroad witness to be
called Is J. c. Stewart, vice president in
charge of operation of the Erie railroad.
N. Y. c. Not So Profitable.
President Brown was asked by Mr..
Lyon Of the commissions counsel whether
the New York Central followed the prin-
ciple adopted by the Pennsylvania rail-
road of applying a dollar of surplus to
Improvements for every dollar of divi-
dends' paid.
1T might be desirable to pursue that
plan," replied President Brown, but the
New York Central has not been able to
follow it.
LAS a matter Of fact, the New York
Central never has been able to approach
the record Of the Pennsylvania in that
respect. We have not been able even
to do as we'll as the Baltimore and Ohio,
by putting as much as 30 cents of sur
plus into Improvements for each dollar
in dividends.
During twenty-one years the New York
Central has paid an average of 4.16 per
cent in dividends to its stockholders an
average less than they could have real
lied If they had invested their money in
frst-class farm mortgages. During that
time they have taken out of earnings and
applied to improvements 1.27 per cent.
or just about % cents for each dollar
Of dividends

Comparison Hard to Explain.

After Mr.. Brown had given similar in
formation Of earnings and surplus set
aside for improvements on either of the
New York Central lines, Commissioner
Lane asked how 1t happened that in such
rich territory the New York Central paid
such small dividends.
Because" Mr.. Brown replied, lit has
not been possible to earn any more
IF the Pennsylvania and the Balti-
more and Ohio could do so well. how Is it
you could do so little?" asked Commits
sioner Lane.
THAT is a hard question to an
swer." replied Mr.. Brown. THE Pennsyl-
vania railroad is located, in some re-
spects, in better territory than the New
York Central and the Lake Shore-that
is. In a territory that gives an enormous
tonnage"
Are there any heavy drains on the
New York Central that accounts for it?''
asked Mr. Lane.
mo. SIR replied Mr.. Brown. The
bonded debt Of the New York Central is
$254. 914, S45. and every dollar except
$4s, 900. 600. was obtained on the basis of
3h per cent at par. / do not know Of
any railroad In the country that has a
better record than that"
