TO-DAY's HEARING.

n The State Corporation Commission
wtli this morning, hear the railroads
Of the state which wish to present
their side of the case before the an
nual valuation is put on this class OF
public service property. With the rail
roads enjoying prosperous year and
with the Treasury OF the Common
wealth in excellent condition. there is
no reason to anticipate important
: changes in the present valuations: and
= the prospects are for brief and more
= or less harmonious hearing.
To the public. however, these annual
= bearings are always moro or less in
tercsting. 1t is always expected that
4the valuation will be made on the
basis of what the Commonwealth needs
and of what tho railroads concede
rather than on any scientific estimate
OF the real value of tho property as
scssed. lacking funds to make n val
uation. and probably doubtful that
such valuation can be made useful,
the commission generally assesses the
roads Mt what they think this prop
erty should pay in aggregate taxes:
the railroads accept this, and the taxes
arc extended. Where as sometimes
is the case. the railroads protest
against existing valuations or EXPECT
ed increases, the commission gives re-
spcctful hearing, ana makes valua-
ton on the evidence as they see II
and still the people smile as they
rehect mat every mile OF roadbcd is
assessed at the same figure on all the
so-called "standard' roads, and that
mile Of track in the Allegheny
Mountains and in the sands of Tide
water pays the same taxes

railroads to pay their proper taxes.

criticize the valuations placed by the
commission on the property of pub
lie service corporations. We have felt
that the fault was with the system.
rather than with the men, and we
reform of our tax laws that would
give US just and scientific taxation OF
every class of property
In this particular case, too, we have
felt that until the existing statutes
are amended, the State is farlng well
and the average taxes are just
But has not the time come to change
the system and To give the people and
the railroads mat exact justice which
comes from taxes on gross earnings?
Now that the state is given some lati-
iude in the constitutional provisions
on the subjcct-Ianuary, 1918, has
passed--we can consider this problem
seriously, and can test these plans of
corporate taxation which have been
found valuable in recent years.
For our part, we should welcome an
investigation OF the entire system in
the hope that gross earnings taxes on
public service corporations Will be
made universal
