He Contends That Comparative

IDEAS OF MIR. RIPLEY.

Eaving for its purpose the obtaining
of information which the commission
has not been able to get in connection
with the rate cases now pending in the
federal court, the corporation commits
sion of Oklahoma issued a general or
der to all railroads, effective October
10, requiring them to file statements
showing the original cost of construc-
ton and the amounts expended for
permanent additions and betterments
on each individual mile of their lines in
Oklahoma.
All equipment assignable to Okla
homa is to be averaged per mile of
road. Wherever the original cost can
not be identified accurately with any
primary account in the commissions
classification of expenses, an estimate
for each such primary account may be
made on a formula to be prescribed by
the company making the report.
This is the physical valuation the
newspapers and politicians talk 81
much about said a Santa Fe official
today. But E. P. Ripley, president of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
way company, beat the Oklahoma conf
mission to it. He lately ordered ex-
merits to make a physical valuation of
Santa Fe properties for submission to
the public. Mr. Ripley. however, is
unable to see what good a physical
valuation would do. other than to give
the public the information it desires.
He agrees with Colonel Roosevelt, who
said in his Osawatomie speech that
this physical valuation of railroads Is
not needed for fixing rates
Mr.. Ripley's contention is that rates
based on the physical valuation OF
railroad property would be inequitable
to the towns along each line of road,
and disastrous to investments in rais-
road securities. He cites the well
equipped line valued at, say, $4,000
mile running parallel with an inferior
line valued at 100000 mile
ITO make rate that would enable
the inferior line to earn only its in
terest would put the superior road out
of business, or cause it to deteriorate 20
the level of the inferior property"
Gains Mr.. Ripley. Rates must neces-
sarily be the same on all roads to be
equitable to all communities, and the
physical value of the roads cannot be
Droperly used as a basis for rate MAX |
ing, according to President Ripley.

subject to the concurrence of the west
ern and other associations. Thus far
the Western Passenger association has
declined to cooperate in the low rate,
stating that it is not in a position to
make any rate less than 2 cents per
mile.
This policy, which was adopted dur
ing the summer, has been varied in
the case of the state fairs in various
western states, but it is the intention
to keep 2 cents as the Usual minimum.
The same reply was given to a propo-
sition of the roads in the Central Pas
senger association for a rate of a fare
and a half for the round trip for home
visitors excursions in the central states
during the fall.

its line to Chattanooga Ok, fourteen
miles from Grandfield. T. H. Beacon,
general superintendent of the Rock

undertake no railway construction in

would mean a material increase in the
trade of Oklahoma City throughout
the southwest portion of the state.
