tonished his father, practitioner of

Papa, do you know what the great

Wishing that his son might have the
pleasure of bestowing this informa-

Information Secured by Experts viii
Be Used in Deciding Rates and
Taxes.
Denver.-Word has been received
by the Colorado Public Utilities Com
mission that the Interstate Com
merce Commission soon is to send a
corps OF expert engineers and statis-
dcians to Colorado. to undertake an
exhaustive study OF the railroads of
the state for the purpose of definitely
fixing the physical valuation OF all
such properties.
This work is to be done in every
state Of the union, that the Interstate
Commission may have an absolute
check upon the investments Of the
several companies operating trans
continental Or interstate common car
riers and SO have a basis for fixing
reasonable rate, charges and tariffs
between all common points of the ma
tion.
When completed, copies of the re-
port Of these experts will be sub
mitted to the governor of each state,
and to state railroad or public utili-
ties commissions where such bodies
exist, to permit objections to be
raised within three months thereafter
and before the records finally are ac-
cepted as accurate and authentic.
Notification Of this purpose has
been given each state, including Colo
RADIO, to permit each state to employ
or delegate, If 1t sees fit, a civil engi-
neer or other expert to be present and
assist in the work of valuation within
the boundaries of that state.

1t is possible that what is called
war stocks meaning stocks OF com.
panies engaged in the manufacture
or machine guns, infantry rifles, pow
der and other war materials. in this
country, will mark the beginning of
an era of active manufacturing in all
lines. The zinc and copper industries
are also abreast of the ordnance fac.
tories. Almost everything that an
army requires is in demand on this
side and our people are furnishing
the goods. All is what is called good
business at abnormal prices. The
war specialists are, therefore, the
leaders in the industrial world. Great
profits in these specialties can't help
making better times in scores of com.
munities. and prosperity is more or
less contagious. With the passing of
the harvest now in progress and an
other great crop in our granaries and
en- route to market, confidence will be
restored in so many spots that it will
not be many moons before we are all

Another View of Bryan.
(OrOville Gazette.)

Paraphrazing the doubtful tribute
paid to the reasonable Thane of Caw-
dor, it might be said with equal truth
of our late secretary of state that
nothing in his diplomatic life became
him like the leaving it," The all but
universal expression of satisfaction
that accompanied the announcement
of Bryan's retirement from the cabi-
net would induce less vain and ego
tistical individual to retire to silent
obscurity. But this laxative politi-
clan finds his greatest delight in con-
slant chatter. and despite the fearful
rebuff he has received from the Amer
lean people he is compelled to give
expression to his foolish fancies. The
more he speaks the more ridiculous
ne becomes, and the one satisfaction
that the people get from his repeated
exhibitions of fathomless folly is that
he thereby puts himself hopelessly
out of the running for future political
preferment.
