VALUE OF NEW HAVEN ROAD
Detailed Report States Property t.
be Worth $496,29O,811

Boston, Feb. ia detailed report
on the valuation of the properties of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad by special commission
of this state, with view to validat-
ing the securities of the company was
filed with the legislature yesterday,
accompanied by the recommendation
that the laws OF Massachusetts be
modified to conform to the policy of
the state regarding railroad securities
The report Celebrates on the brief
finding made on January l, in which
1t was stated that the assets of the
road we're sufficient to secure the
outstanding capital stock and indebt-
edness. The special commission,
which consisted of the three Railroad
commissioners, the tax and bank COM
niissioners finds, through its experts
that the value of the New Ravens
property aggregates $496,2S0,S11 in
Guiding all working assets, cash and
securities. No attempt is made to es-
innate intangible assets, although the
report states that these may amount
to a very considerable item" The
physical property of the company.
namely, the railroad proper and its
equipment, (excluding trolley lines)
is valued at $279,S71. 566. The liabil-
tiles of the company of June 80, 1909
totaled $340,109,S75.

original charter of the present New
London Northern.
We also call his attention TO the
charter of 1872 granting the Central
Vermont Railway company the right
to build from Windsor to Bellows
Falls, and for that purpose giving il
the right to take the land of others.
We call the attention OF the Sen
ator to the right given to another
railroad to build over the Central
Vermont road bed at Montpelier.
We call his attention also to the
charter of the Brattleboro and Yer
non railroad granted only two years
ago, for the building of a road to be
operated by any other power except
steam from Brattleboro to the Mas
sachusetts boundary line and provid-
ing that the railroad company may
take any land within or without the
limits of any street or road owned or
held by any person or corporation,
domestic or foreign, not in actual use
for railroad purposes" In other
words the legislature gave the Brat
tleboro and Vernon railroad company
the right to take the land of the
Central Vermont Railway company
and refused to give the Boston and
Maine a similar right. The Brattle
boro and Vernon railroad doesn't
need to take any land of the Contra
Vermont in order to build its road
while the Boston and Maine cannot
get through the yard unless it does
take some of the land of the Contra
Vermont.
Again let us call the attention o.
the Senator to the Central Vernon
charter to build from Windsor t
Brattleboro, passed the day befor,
the legislature considered the Boston
and Maine charter, and to the provis
ions contained in that bill for enter
ing upon the land of the Boston ant
Maine and other railroads.
Thus II will be seen that instead
of being novel proposition to tax,
the land of one railroad and give
to another where 1t is necessary 81
to do, 1t has been the policy OF tn,
Vermont Legislature to do so unit
the Senate refused the request of tn,
people OF Brattleboro.
1t is not possible to fool all of tn
people all of the time 1t may b.
that Senator Porter may wish to adj

Taft's Reciprocity

President Taft's clean cut argu-
ment has disposed of the attempt to
enlist intelligent farmers against the
Canadian reciprocity arrangement. If
there is real danger to our farmers
in enlarging the field of our supply,
then why was not the settling of all
the far western country a national
misfortune and how can a farmer
complacently look on at the irrigation
projects OF the government? Those
schemes. costing millions and mil
lions, are devised solely for the pur-
pose OF increasing our agricultural
iarea. But increasing our agricultur-
al area means increasing our supply
OF farm produce. Doesn't grain from
Dakota complete with grain from Min
nesota just as truly as grain from
Manitoba would? II surely does and
grain from Dakota has not ruined the
Minnesota farmer-not II he knows
himself IL is seldom that proposal
comes from the executive that is so
widely popular. IL Is only an incid
ent, but II is there all the same and
amusing, that, II the Republican Con-
gress refuses to endorse the agree
ment, then the Democratic Congress
which will come right along after Il
will be quick to endorse It, There Is
a question OF how much Of its own
thunder the Republican party will let
its rivals take possession OF. That's
the political side OF II but the move.
whatever its politics, is primarily not
political but social Cour-
ant.
This whole argument simply points
out how absurd II is TO pretend that
line between Canada and the Uni
ted States is any different. in econ
omic effect, from a line between Yer
mont and Nevada.
When our farmer neighbors begin
more keenly TO appreciate the fact
that we are a continental people and
that all Of us on either side OF the
line. must live and flourish by what
the continent can be made to bring
forth. they will see this reciprocity
proposition In new light. America
and Canada today, practically divid.
ing the great North American contin-
ent between them. have the opportun-
Ity OF history to enter upon a recip
rocal trade policy that will put the
two thousand years OF European tar
IN wars and stubborn national isola
ton to the blush. The Western
Hemisphere has new opportunity
to teach the Old World lesson.
Let us accept and adopt the princi
pie OF reciprocity before II is too late

NORTH 10 JUST Like THE soUrA
Senator eorah Says We Display the
Same Race Prejudice

Washington, Feb. 17.-That preju-
dice against the negro is just as In
tense In the North as in the South.
and that the North plays the hypo-
critic in its contentious to the con
trary, was boldly and bluntly asserted
in the Senate yesterday by repub-
lican senator. The speaker was Sen
ator Borah OF Idaho. His declara-
tons regarding the negro were made
at the close Of prolonged speech in
opposition 70 the Sutherland amend
ment to the Senate resolution pro-
viding fer the election of senators by
popular vote. That amendment would
have the effect of giving Congress con
troll of senatorial elections.
The Idaho senator's announcement
on the race question was made in re-
Spouse to the recent assertion by Sen
ator Root that without the Snther-
land provision the resolution would
deprive the southern negroes of fed
eral protection In the exercise of the
franchise. Mr.. Borah dissented from
the New York senator's view and in
doing 80 used language which elected
congratulations from many senator's.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Borah's notice
that he would ask the Senate to sit
today until vote could be reached
on the elections resolution, the pro-
ceedings on that measure were con-
| fined to his own discussion of It. He
succeeded, however, in getting con-
cession that the resolution should
be taken up today Immediately after
the disposition of the routine business
and without waiting until 2 o'clock
which will give an additional hour
and half. The postponement was
granted to accommodate a number of
senators who still desire to speak on
the subject.
In his speech the Idaho senator ex.
pressed deep regret that the race
question had been brought into the
controversy and asserted that its
introduction was intended only to
imperil the resolution. He began
this portion of his address by paying
his respects to the northern states
Il wonder how long the North is go
Ing to play the hypocrlte and the
moral coward on this question:" he
said. The Northern states have ex
hibited the same race prejudice thai
has been shown elsewhere. In the
North we burn the negro at the stake
and there, as in other sections We
have our race wars. We push oul
negroes to the outer edge of the in
dustrial world. We exhibit the same
prejudlces, the same weaknesses, tn,
same intolerance that is apparent II

control over senatorial elections,

legation under 1t because 1t make
claim TO II. We assert the power
but We admit that we haven't ha,
the moral courage to exercise IL.
For himself he denied the existenc
OF any such power and said he re
sented such position because of tn
position in which Congress was plaC
ed by II. The race question, MI

resolution as a whole" He said tina
II had been used for a similar purpos
