CAPITAL or ROADS
PLACED TOO HIGH
Saws Vast Amounts Placed
in Stations Are of No
Productive Value.

CHICAGO, Jan. THE capitali-
zation Of railroads was the chief sub
ject Of todays testimony at the west
ern railroad wage arbitration proceed
ings. W. J. Lauck, a statistician,
whose testimony began last Tuesday,
read excerpts from an article on over
capitalization by w Martin Smith.
Lauck pointed out that the word
"over- capitalization" was not used in
the sense of fictitious capitalization
The word, he said, was applied to
capital sunk in elaborate railroad sta
etiOns, and similar expenditures on
which precise returns could not be
calculated.

that a president OF the Pennsylvania
mas testified that the $130,0O0,00O in
vested I'm their New York terminal
will never yield return. or course
there IL no way OF calculating its ad-
Vertlsing value"

pcnditures such as that proposed for

mstifiable?" inquired Warren =.

mot from tho standpoint of pro-
ductive efficiency" Lauck replied.
Among the excerpts quoted by
Laucll on over capitalization was
one written in 1919, which asserted
the railroads are now ONer-Capitallzeu
by $2,26S, 100000.
LauCk explained that this capital to
an extent had been sunk In the prop,
critics with the idea that the volume
of business would soon require the
equipment and betterments thus pro-
vided, but that the volume Of traffic
failed 10 meet expectations.
Another excerpt stated that the
over-capitalization had resulted In I'm.
creasing maintenance and wages ap'
$l37239,O23. and that
only 3IS per cent OF this was for

NEuTRAL'S RIGHTS
TO Be ASSERTED
Meeting of Diplomats of
Countries in Peace Is
Proposed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Secretary
Bryan and the eight diplomats who
constitute the special commission of
the Pan-American union for the con-
sideratlOn of proposals that would as
sert more clearly the rights of neu~
trails in time of war, listened to an
extended argument today by DIR. San
tos A. Dominica the Venezuelan min
lister, urging that a congress of neu
tral diplomats be held in Washing
ton.
Although no action was taken on
the suggestion beyond referring IL to
a subcommittee for further study, IL
was learned that the plan was re-
ceived favorably. The general eXpec-
tation is that after the Pan-American
union formulates concrete proposals
for the protection of neutral rights,
the diplomatic representatives. of all
neutral countries in Asia and Europe
will be invited TO a general confer
enCe at which such proposals would
be discussed and later submitted to
the belligerents for general agree
ment.
Would Limit Supplies.

committee on the Chilean proposal,
which would limit the amount Of coal

of an adjacent country instead of the

The Hague rules there was a long
discussion. but no action was taken.
The suggestion Of Peru for the Gre
alton of neutral zone in both the
Atlantic and Pacific within which
belligerent warships would be pro-
hibited from engaging in hostile oper-
atoms was referred by the commits
sion to the American section of the
international board Of turists, of
which John Basset Moore is chair
man, for a legal opinion.
