NEW WAY TO RAISE RATES.
Physical Valuations a LOOphoIe fol
Advances in Revenues.

1T has lately become not improb-
able that eventually the railroads will
be allowed to make some important
rate advances through what until quite
recently would have been regarded as
easily the most unlikely influence, a
physical valuation" says the Iron
Trade Review. Enough has been
done by way of valuation to suggest
that a complete showing would be
much more favorable to the railroads
than has hitherto been assumed. In
several states, partial valuations have
been made, in a spirit which can be
regarded on the whole as unfavorable
to the railroads, and these valuations
have in nearly every instance proved
high, compared with the expectations.
Constantly the railroads have been
expecting that eventually they would
be allowed to raise rates, their feeling
being that there was an era of reduc-
tons which finally would yield to the
necessities of the case, but month after
month the record is that of every hun
dred rate changes passing through the
commission, only about one is an ad-
vance. Perhaps, after all, it will ulti-
mately be found that a physical valua-
ton will be the means of bringing
about rate advances.
Whatever the relation ten years
ago, or at present, between actual
value of the railroads and the securi-
ties issued against the properties, there
can hardly be any question that the
improvements of the past decade have
tended to improve that relation. There
has been much improvement in prop
critics which has not been attended by
a corresponding increase in capitaliza-
ton. In the substitution of heavy for
light steel rails, in the steady sup
planting of wooden cars by steel cars
and in many other respects the rail-
road properties have been improved,
year by year, beyond the increases in
capitalization standing against them.
In the older DAYS of course If was
different. When road got into finan-
cial difficulties. it made securities in
stead of improvements, but in recent
years the trend has been toward the
position in which a physical valuation
would place the railroads in a better
light"

prepared by this great remedy, are
in a healthy condition to meet the
time with the least possible suffering

REFUSED RIGHT TO APPEAL.
Attorney General Against B1anke
Plan of Shippers.

Attorney General Wickersham has
advised congress that he does not
approve any proposition to give
shippers a blanket right of appeal TO
the commerce court from all so-called
negative rulings of the Interstate COM
merce commission.
He favors appeals only from such
decisions as involve questions of law.
At the request of congressional con-
mittees the attorney general has crit
icised numerous bills intended to eX-
tend the right of appeal to shippers.
Mr.. Wickersham makes it plain
that shippers should not be permitted
to appeal on questions of fact as to
the condolences of their requests
for reductions in rates in cases where
the commission denies the relief. The
appeal should lie only when the COM
mission refuses to decrease a tariff
because of its supposed want of ju-
risdiction. The lawful power of the
interstate commerce commission to
act in the premises should, the at
