VA TER WORKS MA
GIVEN TO THE SAGES

Importance of the historical method.
DR.. Bemis cited his own experience
in investigating the value OF gas
plants. In these Investigations he
said that he had found that the estl-
amtes Of the cost to reproduce were
largely In excess OF the actual cost of
the property even after making al
lowances for increase in cost of ma
terials, etc, since the original coz
strpctior was made.
In the last analysis he conclud-
ed, Questions of fair rates must be
decided as a matter OF public policy
by those especially trained for that
work. A fair return ON Just basis
win be sought. The actual, efficient
sacrifice OF the investor, as revealed
IN accounting and other historical
studies; supplemented by engineering
advice as to the adaptability and pres
emit condition OF properties for the
purpose intended, Will count far more
han the estimates OF engineers as TO
what IT will cost to buy land that VIII

THE.()RY
OF Reproduction of Railroad
Valuation Would Be DAN
gefous Precedent.
tsr .sseetArrp rnrss,

WASHINGTON. Oct. SO.-Dr. Ed
ward W. Bemis of Chicago, declared
today in an address before the Ma
tional Association of Railway Com
missioners that the adoption of the
reproduction theory" OF railroad val
uation would establish "far-reaching
and dangerous precedents which vii
seriously handicap future efforts for
the establishment of equitable rates. :"
DR.. Bemis made a plea for what ne
styled the accounting or historical
method" which, he said, ascertains
Just what money has been expended
to produce an existing property
what has been, instead OF what may
be.n
The reproduction theory" he
said, "contemplates an imaginary
community in which an imaginary
corporation makes imaginary esti-
mates OF the cost OF an imaginary
railroad. or other public utility. They
then add an allowance for supervis-
ion. contingencies, insurance, taxes
interest and other expenses during
construction. The result is the est
mate Of the cost to reproduce a GER
tain property.
The magnitude of the issue in
volved between these two methods Is
hardly realized by the public The
corporations. quick to see their OPP
portunity, are striving to convince the.
courts and the commissioners that

FROM THE
LAND Of PLENTY

Emil Sawall, formerly resident of
Sank county near Denzer, writes as
follows from his home at Herman,
California:
We are all well and happy for we
live in the land of plenty q mean
plenty of work.. / suppose some peo-
pie in the east think that California
and all there is in it is frozen to death,
but it is not quite as bad as all that.
We had a cold spell around New
Years, but it did not last long and the
coolest it was here was 20 degrees
above zero and that was only for two
nights. The country around here is
quite young yet, but it is very thickly
settled. In one OF the country schools
one mile from where we live, there are
70 pupils in it and in another school,
two miles from here, there are 100
pupils and they have from 2 to 3
teachers in every school house. The
land in this country is very
level and the roads are as
nice as they can be. Some of the land
is very rich and some is very poor.
There are not many orange and
lemon trees that are old enough
to bear, that is, within about 10 miles
from where we live. The main crops
around here are peaches, grapes and
alfalfa. The fruit trees were not in
blossom at the time of the frost and SO
it did not hurt them at all. The
alfalfa LOOKS very fine now. 1t is big
enough to cut. Some of the people
have started to cut already. Lots of
this hay goes to the city and is worth
$500 ton now. We had several
nice rains here this winter but il is
quite dry now. Everybody is busy
irrigating. There is lots OF snow in
the mountains. We can see the snow
on the top of the mountains from here
very plainly. We had one windy day
this winter and it brought sand blow
and we had little frost, too, but that
does not seem very bad when one COM
pares it with what the people had in
Omaha, Neb., and in lots of other places
in the east this spring. My best re-
CARDS to all the News readers.

STATE INSURANCE
DISCUSSED BY CLUB

"The Wisconsin Life Line ard
discussed by the state insurance COM
missioner, Herman G.. Ekern, of Madi-
son before the members of the Fort
nightly Literary club. the local under
writer's, the life agents and others at
the courthouse last night. The topic
had been assigned to +. E. Settergren
by the club and he arranged for the
com missioner to be present to discuss
the subject. Mr.. Ekern being state
official and in order that many inter
ested in the subject might be present,
it was decided to use public room for
the occasion.
Mr.. Ekern is the best informed per-
son on insurance in the state and it
was pleasure to hear the earnest,
comprehensive discussion which was
given TO the subject. He is an easy
talker, goes deep into the subject and
takes the broad view on all phases of
the important element which has been
built up in our civilization during the
recent times.
Mr.. Ekern said that there had been
great change in sentiment since the
middle of the last century. Sixty or
more years ago it was thought by
many to be in opposition to the will
of the deity that lives be insured and
even some thought that fire insurance
was opposed to the divine will. Since
that time all the great life companies
have been built up and during the
last twenty or thirty years the fraternal
organizations have established them
selves or have come and gone. One
life insurance company in Milwaukee
has grown so great that it writes q
business equal to the value of all the
railroads in the state.
Years ago most people in this coun-
try lived upon farms or owned their
own homes in the cities and villages.
Life has changed. Now many live in
rented houses and have no resource
Except that which they earn from
day to- day. These families must have
protection and so the great insurance
com panies have come into our twen-
tieth century life providing protection
and annuities for old age.
Mr.. Ekern explained the "Wiscon-
ali probability it would not become
popular because solicitors were not
provided for In London is such a
company and in many, many years
it has not grown as has other COM
panies.

while Cobb did some good work he

was his great forte, he allowed him

that Joe Jackson has headed off
