r. :. PHYSICAL VALUATION.
President Ripley Says Santa Fs Is
. Worth Ito capitalization.

President Ripley of the Atehisof,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway com-
pany announced several months ago
that his company did not object to
the physical valuation Of railroad
property for the purpose Of ascertain,
ing whether the property had been
overcapitaliEcd, but he insisted that
it would be calamity to the com.
.mercial interests Of the country to
use the physical valuation az. Q bash
for freight rate making. The Santa
Fe officials who are carrying on Q
get-acquainted campaign over the
lines are keeping the argument ad
Vaneed by President Ripley constant
~ before the public mind.
I'VE don't object to physical val
uation Of our property a Santa Fe
man will say for We know it is
worth every dollar for which it ii
capitalized" sc
Then the Santa Fe man will sub.
nit Colonel Roosevelt as an expert
witness to show that the railroads
Of the country are not overcapitalized.
He will quote from Colonel Roose
velt'S Cincinnati speech in which the
statement is made that the railroad
I property Of the United States il
worth its capitalization.
7 Then, as II to clinch the argument
the Santa Fe harmony orator will
put Senator Albert B. Cummins Of
Iowa on the witness stand. In 9
speech before the Trafic Club OF Chi
cago, Senator Cummins lately made
the statement that he would not b
willing to make q present physIca
valuation OF railroad property q basil
for determining freight rates, "fol
the reason that it is more than prob
able that the present capitalization
! of between fifteen and sixteen billions
would be increased to twenty bill
lions" I'd,
The railway commission of Mime
sofa has fixed the valuation OF rail
roads in that state at ;54,2O1 a mile
These roads are capitalized at 1920
mile. The Wisconsin commission
fixed the valuation of the lines Of tina
state at $S4,63O a mile, although tn
roads are capitalized for only S33,42
a mile. The commission of the Stat
Of Washington found the capital O
the Northern Pacific to be s7O,27S
mile and the value, s1O6,5OO a mile
The commissions named are not II
garded as friendly" to the railroad!
If these valuations are a criterion Q
what an unbiased national commits
sion would do, Senator Cummins est
mate of twenty billion dollars as tn
total capitalization likely is conservs
tive.

BIG INCREASE TO woRkmEN.
Santa Fe Officials Not the Favored
Ones In Pay Advances.

A statement purporting to have
been compiled from statiscal publica.
tons issued by the interstate com
merce commission, to the effect that
the only material increase in rail.
road salaries has been given to the
general officers and not to the work
men, is going the rounds. officials
OF the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company say that this state
ment is incorrect so far as it applies
to their road. The annual reports
OF the Santa Fe to the interstate com.
merce commission show these facts:
Comparing the daily compensations
Tor the fiscal year ending June go
1910, with that of the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1903, the pay Of general
officers has increased 1853 per cent:
locomotive firemen, 81 per cent. 10
connective engineers 29.l per cent;
conductors 1855 per cent; other train
men S7.1 per cent. Machinists, 32.7;

WILL CATCH FEW AGENTS
Most Innurnnce Companies Pay License
for Representatives..

Most Insurance Companies Pay License
for Representatives.
Although agents for insurance com
panies who solicit business without a
license will be prosecuted wheDaver
caught. it Is not the belief of officials
of the State Insurance Bureau that
many such cases Will occur. The cx-
PLANTATION is simple OF all the com
panies doing business in Virginia,
there arc only two-the Appalachian.
of Bristol, and the American National.
of Lynchburg-which do not pay the
license fees of, their agents. There is.
therefore. no incentive for the agents
of any other concern to violate the
law, for their fees are paid by their
principals.
Lists Of the agents are fled by.
each company 18th the bureau. and
licenses are due on July Is OF each
year The companies send along
checks to pay the fees. About 10000
agents are now licensed In Virginia,
the bulk of these permits being Is
sued about July Is, and the remainder
coming along during the year as
agents newly enter the field
