VIII HALUE RAILROADS

In the early part Of May the Interstate
Commerce Commission will put into effect
the most important piece Of legislation
affecting uansportion that has been put
upon the statute books since the commits
SION itself was created. twenty years ago
A board Of engineers will be organized
early in the month to fix a valuation upon
the physical property Of every interstate
railroad for the purpose of providing
basis upon which freight and passenger
rates Of the future may be assessed.
The bill authorizing this move passed
Congress on March /, after it had been sue
cessfully opposed by the railroads and
other corporate interests for quarter Of a
century. Ii was the most progressive meas
ure Of the SiIty-second Congress, with the
possible exception Of the direct elections
amendment.
Since the enactment Of the physical val
uation law the Interstate Commerce Com
missioners have been at work making pre-
lminary plans for the stupendous job
ahead Of them.
The engineers Of the board are to rep
resent every phase Of railroad construction
and operation and are to provide tenta-
tive inventory Of properties. their figures
to be later concurTred in or rejected by the
commission. These figures, too. will be
laid before the owners Of the roads, before
the Governors Of the States in which the
lines operate and before the Department
Of Justice.
Should any responsible person protest
against the findings Of the engineers a d.
rect appeal may be made to the commits
sion for second inventory. and when the
commission makes its findings final there
is still an appeal to the Federal courts for
a reopenine Of the verdict.
In addition to the valuation of the rail-
road properties the commission means to
collect and compile supplementary reports
bearing upon the financial. statistical and
economic condition Of the roads in ques-
ton Under this system the commission
will be able TO say exactly what the phys
lcal value Of road is and at the same
time indicate what it cost to build the line
what it was bonded for and what stock
issue is out against IT,
In other words. the commission expects
to be able to show when road has been
appraised whether or not its stock is full
OF water. whether or not it is overloaded
and whether or not the public is being
compelled to pay dividends or interest on
an inflated valuation.
The physical valuation act does not
specifically extend the power Of the Inter
State Commerce Commission to the fxine
Of rates based upon its findings in thi:
investigation, but it does provide that the
commission shall keep the information
gained up to date and to use it in deter.
mining the reasonableness of any rate that
may be challenged.
Already the burden Of proof is on the
carrier TO show that any new rate which
may be proposed is just and reasonable
