Physical Valuation for Big Corpor-
ations Once Near Vote.


Washington, D. Can amendment
offered by Republican Leader Mann,
proposing a rigid regulation Of the is
suance Of stocks and bonds, prevented
passage by the house Of the Adamson
bill that would authorize a special
commission to ascertain the physical
valuation of railroads and other inter-
state carriers with the view Of aiding
the Interstate Commerce commission
in fixing equitable freight rates.
Debate on the bill, which was favor
ably reported by the interstate and
foreign commerce committee at the
last session, had been in progress
nearly fire hours and vote was about
to be taken when Mr.. Mann moved
that the measure be sent back to the
committee with instructions that it be
reported with his proposed section
added. After an extended debate on
q point Of order against the amend
ment, the matter went over by
unanimous consent.
Mr.. Mann's amendment would pre-
scribe in detail how an interstate car
rier should incur indebtedness and
would prohibit the issuance Of stocks,
bonds or notes except in return for
money or other consideration approved
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion.
With permanent corps of experts
inquiring into the value of carriers
property, abe proposed law would
make 1t possible for the Interstate
Commerce commission to fix rates on
the basis of profits to be realized on
actual investments instead of on paper
valuations.
