A SURPRISE FROM BRANDEIS

aAt a hearing before the Interstate Com
rlerce Commission in Washington involving
increased railway rates Of from s27,000,000
onward in the section east Of the Missis-
sippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers, figures were introduced to show
that in the four states Of Minnesota, South
Dakota, Wisconsin and Texas the railways
were overcapitalized by s400.o0o.000. The
calculation was based on a statistical sum-
mary Of the actual physical valuation of
1s5 properties having a combined capitali-
cation of more than 81, COO. o00. 000 or, ap-
proximately, one-fifteenth Of the total rail-
way capitalization Of the United States.

brunt of the present contest Of the shippers
before the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion against the proposed increase OF rail-
road rates, accepted the tender Of employ
