Des Moines, June 1.-THE immense
and overwhelming Importance of the
action taken here at the conference
of railroad commissioners in regard to
railroad valuation is enhanced many
fold by the surprising decision of the
supreme court lii the big rate cases.
Now it is right up to the interstate
. commerce commission to fix not only
for itself but for each and every state
commission the basis for all rate maxi
ing of the future. The decision of the
court makes it absolutely necessary
; now that the greatest of attention be
given to the task of making the physi-
cal valuation of all railroads of the
United States.
And while the decision did not point
out Just how to make the valuation t
did point out that tho system which
the railroads have adopted and urged
and which Judge Sanborn accepted is
not right.
The big end of the decision. related
to the method of arriving at value q
the railroad property. 1t is recalled
that Judge Sanborn decided that a l
per cent return on the value of the
property was necessary, and then he
agreed to the plan suggested by the
master to whom it had been referred
as to arriving at value The supreme
court knocked both. OF these entirely
out.
Now it is going to be up to the in
terstate commerce commission to fix
standard for valuation. and that is
what tn" conference held in Des
Moines by eight railroad commissions
meant: and that is the matter that is
to be put right up to President Wilson
to decide whether the federal govern
ment ought 10 pay the expense of hav-
ing the people represented.
Difficulties in Way.
The single item of how to value the
real estate of railroads in arriving ut
the general value of the property is
something that will cause a difference
of millions of dollars in the valuation
of the railroads The Sanborn decision
was that a railroad is entitled to re-
turn on the value. OF. Tie real estate
multiplied by two or.,three. In other
words the right of way and shop
ue and this multiplied by three because
of the difficulties In the way of secur-
ing such real estate and to pay for
condemnation. etc. Then to this should
be added 10 to 20 per cent for real es-
tate in cities. The, effect of this was
to enormously increase the item of
real estate value, above actual cost;
and virtually to. inclrde the value that

TOO BUSY FOR LONG TITLES
Germans Sensibly Abbreviate Names
Which They Realize Cause Much
Waste of Time.

Long winded German names are
something of a trial to the world at
large, but the Germans themselves APP
pear to have found the remedy, says
the Scientific American. In 1909 an
international aeronautical exposition
was organized at Frankfort-on-the-
Main. It's full name in German was
''Internationale Observation-Disclosures
lung" After being Abbreviated 70 81.
L. A., this ultimately became Tia;
and as the fla" the exposition has
since been universally known. In like
manner the "Allgemeine Luftfahrtzeug-
Ausstellung" held last year in Berlin
was known as the ALA" and now we
hear Of the "Damnu," which, to the
busy man, is happy substitute for
"Deutsche Ausschuss fur den mathe-
matischen und naturwissenschaft-
lichen Unterricht." 'Imuk," which sig
nifies Internationale mathematische
Unterrichts- Kommission and "Datsch,"
condensation of Deutsche Ausschuss
fur technische Schulen.
OF course, this method of syncopa-
ton has its limits! since many combi-
nations of initials are unpronouncable,
while others might be too grotesque
to be palatable On the other hand. it
seems likely that in future the names
of many expositions, societies and the
like will be deliberately selected with
reference to such abbreviation.
