DANGER Seen IN
VALUATION Plan
Courts Blind to Practices Of
Railroads, Declares
Mr.. Thelen.
SAYS RATES WILL SOAR
California csnmissisner, Addressing
Association, Scores Present Method
Of Appraising Terminals.
SAYS RATES WILL SOAR

Declaring that the courts and railway
commissions OF the States are blind to
the practices OF railroads In presenting
valuations OF properties upon which
reasonable rates are predicted, Max
Theien. OF the California Railroad Com
mission. opened the business session OF
the twenty-fifth annual convention OF
the National Association Of Railway
Commissioners yesterday. He cited the
|appraisements of railroad terminals and
properties based on the unearned incre-
ment Of land values
IF the present value or reproduction
value theories are carried to their logi-
cal conclusion" declared Mr.. Theien.
how long win II be before rates be-
come so high that nobody can, pay
them? II courts and commissions are so
blind to the danger that confronts them
under the hypnotic spell Of the so-cailed
physical valuation theory. they win steer
upon the rocks to which they are now
headed"
The Proper Basis.
Mr. Thelen declared that the Supreme
Court Of the United States had not fin-
ally declared that "fair value Of the
property is to be used as the basis OF
making rates. Only a reasonable return
wisely expended for railroad property and
not the increased valuation Of the prop
erty, he urged. Is the proper basis upon
which to compute the physical valuation
Of railroad ownership.
The speaker advocated State commits
sions pursuing the policy Of combining
their findings as to physical valuation
to questions Of facts and to refrain
wherever possible from finding as to
the ultimate question Of value.
The accounting side OF rate making
vas discussed by *. Hudson Burr, of
Florida. He declared that courts have
cbscured the meaning OF present fair
value Of railroad property and are
"groping for an ethical basis" but that
nothing definite has as yet been recog-
niZed as a fair basis upon which to
make an appraisal of railroad property.
The accounting method as a basis for
such valuation. Mr.. Hudson declared.

said. within reasonable limits. the
Ectual age and cost OF the property now

Meaning of Depreciation.
A. F. Weber. chief statistician Of the
Public Service Commission for the First
district of New York, described what
depreciation" Of railroad property
means with relation to fair value" He
stated that depreciation means the fall

RECEIVED LETTER ON
RAISING OF CATTLE.

In a letter received today by City
Clerk Bescher. a representative of the
Southern Insurance company OF
Poplarville. Mississippi. states that
lumber dealers of Mississippi are
looking for cattle TO Craze 100000
acres of forest and rolling pasture
land in the southern part of Mississ-
ippi. He asks that the farmers in the
community be asked to answer the
latter as il will cost nothing TO allow
the cattle TO Craze on the land for an
indefinite period. The purpose, he
says in asking this, is 10 keep the
grass short on the land and keep il
in condition for cattle raising. There
are many cold springs on the place,
the letter says. and the conditions are
excellent for raising cattle. Accord
ing TO Clerk Bescher, this affords an
excellent opportunity for local farm
ers TO enter the cattle raising bust
ness in the south without purchasing
land.

(National News Association
INDIANAPOLIS, April 1S-That the
Progressive party is entitled to repre-
sentation on the Indianapolis city
board of primary election commission
ers is the effect of decision today by
Judge Remster of the circuit court
The demurrer of the Progressive party
to the answer of the Republican party
to the suit brought by Elias Salisbury,
Progressive, to compel E. A. Ramsey,
Republican, as city clerk to appoint
him TO place on the city board of
primary election commissioners was
sustained by the court.
The Progressives brought suit after
Ramsay had refused to appoint SAILS
the Progressive member of the board
by the chairman of the central COM
mittee of the Progressive party Ram
say appointed S. A. Haas. Republican,
instead of Salisbury on the ground that
the Progressive party was not entitled
to representation on the board be-
cause it did not become a municiual
political party until after the general
elections of 1912. The Progressives set
out that their party cast the second
largest number of votes at the last
general election and was entitled to
representation.

TALKS TO MERCHANTS

At a meeting of the advertising com

Club to be held tomorrow noon at the
Y. NJ. c. A. full report of the work of
the committee toward the proposed
fall festival to be held next fall will
be reviewed
The committee recently was asked
to make a report relative TO the senti-
ment among the business men toward
the project. According to leaders OF
the committee who have been active
ly engaged interviewing the merchants
for the past three days, the sentiment
is generally favorable toward the pro-
ject though there are several mer-
chants between Ninth and Tenth
street on Main have been seen and
have unanimously Endorsed the project
and stated their willingness to finance
their share of the enterprise. In an
other square the merchants opposed
the festival believing it would not di-
rectly benefit them and failed to see
how a project of this kind would
one square are opposed to the holding
or the 1eStlVal, II IS SAID.
The number of merchants who ap-
proved is so much larger than those
who oppose it that it will be held it
is said, and announcements will be
made concerning it after the report is
made tomorrow. That any merchants
should oppose a proposition of this
kind was great surprise to the mem
IF he or
There is no doubt that the mer-
chants who are not favorable toward
1t at this time will finally give their
support to the project when the time
comes" said Will Rooney, chairman of
the committee.
The festival is to last three days
according to the present plans. One
day will probably be designated Aero
plane Day." another industrial Day"
and the third Agricultural Day" On
the third day it is planned to have a
domestic science display. Chas. w.
Jordan a member of the school board,
stated that the high school could be
used for what ever the promoters of
the project desired. 1t is probable that
an are exhibit will be held during
the festival. There are many valua-
BILE collections of paintings which can
be secured for the festival and this
feature will be an important one.
On Agricultural day it is planned
that the rural districts of Wayne coun.
ty and other parts of the state will be
represented. Stock will be exhibited. 4
linen display will be of especial inter
est for women, it is planned.
The fact that $4,000 is the estimated
cost of promoting the festival rather
than $4,000 as was the estimated cost
of the latest festival assures success
financially. A member of the commit
tee says. A whirlwind campaign tC
last not more than one half a day will
raise the necessary funds. he asserts
The committee in charge will only
make such expenditures as will be alb
solutely necessary and no more money
will be spent than is in the hands OF
the festival committee.

INVENTORY SYSTEM
FOR COUNTY FARM
Officials Will Be Able To
Keep in Touch With the
Financial Condition.

County Auditor L. S. Bowman has
completed an inventory system TO be
used by the county commissioners and
The commissioners and the superin-
tendent will make a quarterly repart
in the form of an invoice and the
financial condition of the institution
can be estimated at any time.
The commissioners will make an in
voice every three months and the su-
perintendent will keep A tabulated in
voice of the increase and decrease of
all products during the quarter
At the close of each quarter, the
original inventory of the commission
ers, including the inventory of the
superintendent becomes the basis for
the new inventory. The last report
was filed March 81, which showed an
invoice of the property to be 1,09045.
During past years it is said the
records have been irregularly kept and
the new sys,sm together with the new
set of rules issued by the auditor
January l will do much to keep county
officials in closer touch with the in
stitution. The new accounting sys-
tenn instituted by Mr.. Bowman will
also do much to help the officials keep
in touch with the financial condition
of the farm.
Recently there has been consider
able agitation in regard to the man
agement of the farm. The expendi-
lures have so far exceeded the re-
coiD+c that. an investigation aS RI tho
conditions of the farm was made.
Supt. Brumfield was advised to re-
sign. 1t is probable that he will be
retained until his term expires which
is within a few months.
