PHYSICAL VALUATION.

The physical valuation of railroads,
and probably of other public utilities,
will be one of the foremost questions
before congress. and the people of the
country in the coming months. 1t was
g factor in the recent railroad Dill
before congress and the necessity for
It is becoming a recognized principle
because it is looked upon as an econ
omic basis for the fixing of railroad
rates without it the interstate COM
nerce com mission grspes about in the
darkness with no basis for the deter
mination of just rates between the
shipper and transportation compan-
les.
Naturally railroads assume that
they have a right to charge the high
est rate that the shippers will pay
Shippers incline to the view that they
will pay only what they are compelled
70 nav. Between these two there is
a great gulf fixed, over which much
wranglinR and complaint arises. BY
ver-capitalization. which is another
name for stock watering, the railroads
make it appear that their annual in
come is only a justifiable return on
thu money Invested" But this money
was never invested, except in part. IT
represents. a fictitious value. In all
probability the real estate and rolling
stock and equipment of the railroad
will some day be worth that sum, but
It is not worth it today. In the mean
time, shippers are forced to pay rates
and ultimate dividends on a capital
ization which is grossly exaggerated.
Because of this overcapitalization
and fictitious valuation. investors are
unable to determine what the stocks
and bonds of railroad are really
worth. In this city today there are
railroad bonds, purchased prior to the
furry of 1907, which are worth one
third less than the price paid for
them. In the interval, the country
has raised just as big crops and the
railroads have done just as mucn
business but the securities have not
made good. Either their value was
over-estimated at the time they were
purchased or else it was fictitious
value to begin with, and the result is
the same.
This is an unhealthy. or. as stu
dent of political problems would say,
IAN uneconomic" condition of affairs.
1t makes business unstable and en-
hances the effect of financial depres-
sions. In other words. when people
understand the real worth of an arti-
Gle or a security the stock market
will not affect it; or, to state the case
In another way, confidence will not
be destr yed This unstable situation
which is being so much discussed. IS
all brought about by the desire on the
part of big business" to gain an un-
fair advantage. The fight which
Northwest shippers have heen con-
Quoting in an effort to wiring equitable
rates from the railroads in the past
few years is based upon this assump-
ton. But without standard of valu-
alton the interstate commerce com
mission has been unable to settle the
question except by guess work.

When you hear men talk about the
preservation of good times through the
governments former policy of pand-
ering to big business" recall the
words which James J. Hill has just
sanctioned. Regarding the timidity of
capital to invest during the fever in
oident to an election, Mr.. Hill says:
NO decision of any court can per-
manentiy impair any sO-called vested
interest Confiscation is sndreamed of
as compared with only y few years
ago. The disiRtergration of properties
does not involve their destruction.
Moreover. the sharp revolt against all
cOmbinatiOps--those that achieve
great good no less than those that
work injury--is clearly yielding to
study and reason. No sane person now
maintains that buSiness-cSpeCially

FRUITVALE ORCHARD
is DOING ITS DUTY
E. Nj. King Takes 100 Boxes of
Grimes Golden From Nine
Trees At His Place.

Here is a fruit story, and it would
be wonderful anywhere else except
Yakima but. as one of the newspaper
men said who was here with Presi-
dent Taft, the truth in the west rs
a lie in the east" E. NJ. King of
Fruitvale has been picking Crimes
Golden apples and has taken 100
boxes from nine trees, or an average
of q boxes to the tree. Altogether he
found less than a box of wormy fruit
and but three or four boxes in all of
fruit that had limb marks or some
other imperfection to keep it from
being extra fancy Grimes Goldens
are now quoted at s1.25 per box,
which would make an average of
slightly in excess OF $26 per tree or
total of S2S7.50. This is nice work.

II contract with the North Coast
railway or its assigns providing for a
subway when the city makes up its
mind what sort of a crossing it de-
sires will suffice just as well from Il
legal standpoint az having this provi
sion incorporated in the franchise.
there seems to be no good reason why
this contract should not be executed
and the franchise passed Immediately.
This is a legal problem and should be
settled by those who understand the
law. If contract is binding why not
settle the dispute and have the thing
over. This seems to be the backbone
of the whole matter and everyone will
gladly welcome an agreement because
this valley needs the railroad.

Those citizens who expressed fears
for the future of the republic when
Theodore Roosevelt gave public ut
terance to some fair, timely and de-
served criticism of the Supreme Court
of the United States will doubtless be
interested to learn what he said about
a Federal Judge out in North Dakota.
At the Labor Day meeting in Fargo
the colonel followed United States Dis
trict Judge Charles +. Amidon, and in
beginning his address thus spoke of
that veteran jurist:
II cannot hefp saying Just one
word as to how l have been delighted
this afternoon to hear utteranCes from
a Federal Judge who not only stands
for honesty and righteousness in the
conventional forms in which judges
have been accustomed to see them for
generations, but who stands facing the
changing of conditions and realizing
that the constitution of the United
States must be administered. if it is
to be administered wisely, by men who
sympa thize with and understand the
needs of the wageWorkers, just g they
sympathize with and understand the
needs of all other American citizens"
Perhaps such q standard will not
meet with approval Of the Roosevelt
critics, but it will certainly find favor
with great majority Of tho Ameri-
can people. Colonel Roosevelt meas
ured the Supreme Court by that stand
ard, and, finding it deficient, had the
courage to say go. And that is the
full amount of his offending.

that the idea of utilizing a drop of

City Council Allows Pool and Billiard
Rooms to Open at Night, and
Raises License to $500.

For the first time in a number of
years the whack of the cue as it
comes in contact with the pool or
billiard ball and sends it speeding
across the table will resound in Daw-
son.
Under an ordinance which pro-
vided that pool and billiard tables
should not be operated in the city
before sun-up or after shutdown there
have been no games of this kind in
the city in a long time, but at the
meeting of the city council Tuesday
night this law was changed by
amending the ordinance so as to per-
NIT these games until 10 o'clock at
night, and the license was raised
from $3.50 % $500 per annum for
one to three tables. No change was
made in that section of the ordi-
nance which provides that "such ia
bles or games shall be run only in
a single-story house or in a house
having no inside communication with
a second-stOry, and said house and
room shall have no blinds, closets or
other devices behind which liquor
may be concealed"
Aldermen Davidson, Stewart, Jen-
nings and Davis voted for the amend
ment to the ordinance, and Alder
man Deubler against it. Alderman

presiding over the council in the alb
sence of the mayor, and did not vote.
