The Oklahoma corporation commits
sion is making substantial progress on
the physical valuation of railroads,
and ii is securing the information up
on which it will be able, ultimately to
relieve the people of Oklahoma from
the burden of high freight rate now
a serious handicap to the states com
mercial and industrial development.
The freight rates originally fixed by
the railroads on the ground that these
rates would not permit the railroads
to pay expenses and provide a fair
return on the investment. Judge Hook
accepted the Santa Fe's estimate of
value at $64,000 per mile, and imme-
diately after this railroad had sue
ceeded in enjoining the freight rates
with this valuation as basis of it's
action, it sought to resist the payment
of taxes on the assessed valuation of
$4,000 a mile. In other words the
Santa Fe insisted that it must have
freight rate that would enable it to
pay expenses and earn a profit on in
yestment of $4,000 mile, while it
was not willing to pay taxes on an
assessment of 100000 a mile The
actual valuation of the property com
piled by the commission on reports
furnished and certified by the rail-
road companies engineering depart
ments is $3S,000 a mile. 1t is plain,
therefore. that this matter of physical
valuation is of prime Importance to
the state, as this is the only way to
secure the information that will en-
able the state to maintain the freight
rates that may be established by the
commission This is part

Care of House Paint.

Few housewives have the least idea
what little care of the outdoor house
paint, such as window sashes, front
door and even railings. will do to pre-
serve its beauty and length of life.
The simplest plan is to wash this
paint at intervals with tepid water to
which little parafin has been added,
with a soft rag. Then to apply q
really good, preferably homemade
furniture polish. and rub off in the
usual way. This quite prevents blis-
tering. Paint that is far gone could
be washed In oxalic acid and water,
but this is a strenuous remedy and
only suitable when a repainting is to
be the next move. Below / give q
recipe for polish suitable for both
