WANT U. S. TO BOOST GOOD ROADS

Secretary Wilson of the department
OF agriculture has received a petition
signed by eight American delegates
who attended the recent international
road congress at Brussels requesting
that his department consider the ad-
visibility of the United States govern
ment becoming a member of the Per
manent International Association of
Road Congresses The office of pub
lie roads is a part of the department
of agriculture, and for this reason the
matter was put up to the secretary for
his consideration.
The special significance of the petit
tion is that it discloses the fact that
the United States, which has the most
extensive system Of roads Of any
country In the world, has been one of
the three slowest nations to join the
International Road association now
formally adhered to by 26 govern
ments. Italy and England are the
only other large countries which have
not Joined
The nations of E~rope have gone
long way ahead of the United States
in road work, particularly in the mat |
ter of administration and road mainte-
nance, and experts say that for this
reason this country will benefit i'm
mensely in the advantage of collabora-
tion made possible by membership in |
the international congress. France,
for instance, with its almost perfect |
system of roads, sends one and one
third times as much freight over her
public highways as is carried by the
railroads. The freight traffic on the |
roads of other European countries is
almost as heavy. In this country con-
ditions are reversed and it Is estima-
ted that the railroads carry nearly |
four times as much freight as the pub
lie roads. Yet railroad development |
depends, engineers say, on the good
roads which open up and make acces-
sible the country adjacent to the
lines.
The department OF agriculture now
has the petition under consideration
and, If approval is given, congress will
be asked this coming winter for the
small appropriation necessary for this
country's membership dues.

MINNESOTA RATE CASE GIVES
 HOPE FOR MORE JUSTICE

BOSTON, banking house inti- mately afliliated with the Hill rail road group says of the Minnesota rate case: "As the details of this decision are studied it is probable that it will be found that no more important judicial decision has been handed down affecting the integrity of American corporation securities in the last 10 years. Broadly speak ing this decision. if upheld.--as there is reason to believe it will be = takes from the local states the power of arbitrary rate regulation where interstate traffic is concerned and lodges it in the hands of the inter- state commerce commission. It looks as if the railroad business had been rescued from chaos and that in. stead of railroads having to deal with 45 different rate-making bodies. all business will be centralized in a common tribunal capable of form ing the broadest and most equit- able decisions.
 Not only that, but the rates which the state of Minnesota attempted to enforce are specifically declared void because confiscatory. Think of what this means. Railroads are ad- mitted to have the right to a req sonable return upon the investment and in this case per cent is given as a reasonable return upon an in yestment which the court has de- cided. after careful appraisal con firms the property valuation carried by Great Northern and Northern Pa cific in their balance sheets.
 This decision sounds the death knell of state interference with in terstate railroad business and def initely determines the ultimate court of authority in such matters. Of course, it is a further step toward centralization of authority in the federal government, but this is the only apparent avenue of escape from confusion worse confounded"
 It is of interest to recall that one of the features of the Roosevelt pro- paganda was appraisal of the physi. cal properties of railroads. It will

4 special to the Duluth New+ Tribune from Calumet says:
 It is feared that No. shaft of the Quincy. which has sent out into ths industrial world the finest copper ev- CT mined. and probably more of 1t than any other shaft in the world, is nearing the limit of its depth. As the shaft goes down the runs of stop. ingground are rapidly growing short CT.
 This does not mean, however, that the ground commanded by No. : will play out in the near future, for the higher runs of stoping ground will furnish an enormous tonnage for many years to come. Quincy is earning more than si.25 per share per quarter, or s per year. and has been paying dividends longer than any mine in the district, something like . half century.

be remembered that the New Have railroad was so far moved by the Roosevelt advocacy of this physical valuation of railroads as to delegate John NJ. Stevens to make such an inventory of it's property. It cost $l50,0o0 to do the work and many months of unremitting labor Al though never published. the results of the inventory were laid before the president and showed such an astonishing wealth of assets.-sone $40 900, ,000.-that for the time be- ing the presidents enthusiasm in this direction was abated
 The Minnesota case has resulted similarly. The discovery that North ern Pacific for instance has $452. 000.oo0 of railroad property evc,ud- ing outside properties, equities. and subsidiary companies and $200,000,- ; GOO more if such be included or $S52. .000. 900 altogether compares with Daiduct Sutct doSSsS ac VI SooC ~, 1908 of $593,5s0.563. or nearly ESQ., 900, 1000 less than the property dis closed by the court inventory.
 Determination of the outside prop critics of Great Northern is more difficult. The balance sheet of June 30. 1908. showed s524.0oo. .72s of total assets. The court inventory of the railroad property alone. ex- cludiDg subsidiary and outside prop critics, disclosed 100000 of as sets. To this must be added $-1o9,- 114.30s of Burlington stock and $S5.- 900. 900 to $7o,000.00o of other se curities, a total of S1T0,000.0o to 5000. GOO of outside property. The sum of these two minus the balance sheet assets leaves $125 900. 900 property in excess of that shown in the balance sheet.
 Tn other words the attempt to base railroad rates on property ap- praisal has in the three conspicuous instances in which it has been ap- piled proved a dismal failure. As a political war-cry it is dead for h is nothing but boomerang in the hands of states or legislatures ar guing for lower rates
