THE PHYSICAL VALUATION
MEASURE.

Chicago Record-Herad: Senator La
Follette's bill for tho physical valua-
ton Of the railroads has passed the
senate without the %forlnality Of a roll
call. This is q notable victory for the
Wisconsin insurgent, but 1t is to be
borne in mind that physical valuation
today conveys a totally different idea
from that conveyed a few years ago.
The measure which seemed terribly
radical has become so moderate that
no n r to oppose it. The repub-
lican senate steering committee. on
which Root and Smoot served. indors-
ed the physical valuation bill as a mat.
ter of course.
What has happened? Physical VAL
uation. with its limitations, is much
better understood now than it vas Or
iginally. If it is dreaded less. less is
hoped from 1t. It IL realized by its
advocates that railroad r%ate.fxing is
not determined wholly. or even chief
.ly. by present physical values. and that
other factors must be duly considered.
If everything that regulates rate-mak-
ing is to be taken into account by CON
gress and the interstate commerce
commission. the objection to physical
valuation loses its force. The COM
merce commission has repeatedly rec
commended such valuation, and the
railroads are reconciled thereto.
The house has passed a bill of its
own. but the La Toilette bill will
doubtless be acceptable t. the house
conferees. Final action on the mat.
ter by this congress is regarded as cer.
tain. and thus a controversy that once
seemed to bristle with discords and
difficulties will end most tamely. Time
is a great teacher and healer.

it is not at all remarkable that for

indicated with constantly growing
clearness that te,npers as we'll as feet

travel over miserable roads.
Not only do the pilgrims have oc-
