is added by reason of the better farms
and better cities along the way. The
Minnesota court would give the rail-
roads right to an earning on that
part Of the real estate value whfcn
Is made by the people and they would
have to pay rates on the value they
have themselves created. The supreme
court condemned this system.
Then there was the item of value
new. not present value. or cost of re-
production. which had large part In
the case. The supreme court refused
to accept the theory that one should
imagine no railroads in existence and
then imagine how much it would cost
to build them now. as a proper esti-
in the railroads.
The Sanborn idea of I per cent re-
turn on actual values was also Knocked
out.
Question Left to Commits sion.
Apparently. from the reports received,
the court did not undertake to tell just
how to arrive at proper valuation
Of the railroad property. This Is the
problem that is now before the inter-
state commission. Some method bet
ter than that which was used by the
railroads themselves In the Minnesota
case will have to he adopted. The
commission has appointed a committee
of engineers and others to study the
subject. The railroads have appointed
committee of railroad men to pre-
sent their views. As vet there is no
provision for representation on be-
half of the people. President Wilson
is asked to recommend to congress that
All appropriation be made for having
the side of the people represented.
Unless this is done the state commits
sions will undertake the task. The de-
cision In the Minnesota rate case has
cleared the way for action.

Brakeman Ed ]. Byers, living on
North Sixteenth street. saved the life
of 2-year-old John a. Akers Friday
evening in sensational way. The
child was playing on the railroad
tracks. When the child was seen sit
ting between the rails the extra
freight was going at good rate of
speed. Brakeman Byers crawled out
on the pilot of the engine. Grasping
the front rail with his left hand he
lifted the child from the track with
the other. The occurrence happened at
the 1O8th mile post north of Cedar
Rapids on the DEBORAH branch OF the
road. The road there makes a sharp
turn and the engine was almost upon
the child when he was seen. When
Brakeman Byers snatched the child
out Of danger the engine had been
slowed down to about eight miles an
hour.
