We have never been able 10 persuade
ourselves that any useful purpose would

the railroads Of tlris couu.ry. for which
provision has been made in an amend

IN Washington through the votes ef the
inSurcent Democratic combination. Such

money and would he worth nothing when

John Smith. we will say. is a professod
expert on railroads. Let John Smith
after some study write for an enonomic
journal his opinion Of the value Of the
y. Y. T. Railroads physical property. and
no one would pay much attention To il. Ia
would he merely John Smiths opinion.
Let the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion hire John Smith 10 estimate the
value Of the y. Y u. Railpad property.
and John Smiths opinion becomes the
official valuation. and tremendous
significance IS al once attached Ia il.
But. after all. il is only John Smiths
opinion. And that is one defect Of these
official valuations are species
OF national Self-doluSion.
Furthermore. there is no way Of MAX
ing them binding upon the courts. even
If il were desirable to hang the fate ~
all rate making upon the say-So of John
Smith stamped official But II isn't
desirable. The courts are getting away
as fast rs they can from the position

The regulation of rates is possible
