Amount due to make
proper return ....... .$14,272. $3.50. IS


From the above it appears that from
all of its income from operation, in.
Guiding freight and passenger bust
ness, the Great Northern has not re-
ceived its lawful return for either
OF the three years ending June 80,
1908. 1909 or 1910. The combined
deficit under proper return for the
three years is $52,121,216.SS. If as a
matter of law the Great Northern is
guaranteed by the federal constitu.
ton return ranging from fifteen to
twenty million dollars per annum
more than what it now receives it
would appear that all of the freight
and passenger rates charged by that
road were too low and must be raised.
1t would seem hard to escape the con-
clusion that the interstate commerce
commission had no right to lower the
Spokane rates as provided in its re-
cent decision if these carriers are rot
receiving the compensation guaran-
teed by the constitution of the United
States. Similarly it would appear that
recent orders of the Washington rail-
road commission and others as we'll
as the legislative rates on coal in this
state must be likewise confifiscatory
Considering the present strong finan~
clal positfon>o the Great Northern
railway it is apparent that il does no,
require any such additional income
and it seems hard to believe that as
matter of right and justice or law,
that the people served by that carrier
should pay fifteen or twenty million
dollars additional tax for Transports
ton service. 1t will bl. noticed that
the present value found by the master
($51S.2O6215), is much in excess of
cost of construction ($295, 4O1 ,213) or
capitalization ($334,359, 34933) and
this Is true for two reasons, the value
of its lands including right of way
and terminals has increased tremen-
dously and second large amounts have
been used as operating expenses in
improving the property incident to
maintenance. II a railway is entitled
to receive return in rates to pay
a certain rate of interest on land
values 1t is apparent that as land
values increase each year the returns

tests any person Tor corporation) in
! the use of private property and pro-
vides that such property may not be
taken by either the federal or state
authorities for public use without just
compensation. Any rate made by the
state or interstate commerce commits
sions which does not give just COM
pensation to the carrier is void and
unconstitutional under the fourteenth
! or fifth amendments to the constitu-
ton of the United States. The recent
congress gave the interstate COM
mission power to prevent advances in
interstate freight and passenger rates
but it is plain that any order OF the
commission preventing raise in rates
could not deprive the carrier of the
Just compensation guaranteed by the
federal constitution. If just return
must be made for every service rem
dered by the carrier the first question
is on what shall the return be based.
Must a certain rate of return be paid
on cost of construction, cash invest
ment, capitalization, the market value
of stocks and bonds, or must the re-
turn be on the physical valuation OF
the property? Using the Great North
ern railway company merely as Illus
trative of the situation shown in the
Minnesota case We find these various
features of value to be on April 80,
1908:
Great Northern Railway, Entire Line.
Cost Of construction. 1926, 401 .213.00
Capitalization ......... 334,359, 349.33
Market value of stocks
and bonds .......... 45Z363 .6U4.UU
Cost Of reproduction. 518,206, 215.OO
Present value found by
the master ......... o1o,1OO, 11o.UU
The master in the Minnesota case
filed a reasonable rate of return at
Z per cent. Seven per cent on the
value found by the master above
($51S,206,215) is $36,274, 435.05.
If the revenues of the Great North.
ern for the year ending June 80, 1908,
after deducting all expenses and taxes
were not at least the reasonable re.
turn of $36,274,435.05 which the mas.
ter in the Minnesota case says must
be paid. then existing rates were con-
f1scatory and unlawful. Since April,

with the development of its territory.
But let us see if the entire net
revenues received each year by the
Great Northern are sufficient.
Assuming that the. value of the
Great Northern was the same in 1908,
1909 and 1910. we find the following:
