The railroads of the country are lover-capitalized by at least six bill lions of dollars-the increase in the value of land owned by the railroads. The railroads are trying to have the committee on valuation of the Inter- state Commerce Commission add $8,- 500 O0O,000 to their present capital ization.
 The present overcapftalization- the railroads be permitted a net re- turn of per cent.-involves an an- nual needless charge of $36O upon the farmers, small business men and the consumers of the country-near- ly half of the total national budget, exclusive of the post office depart ment, which is practically, self-sus- taining. The additional capitaliza- ton sought by the railroads would add a much greater burden than the present overcapitalization. It is, therefore, of the greatest importance to every consumer in the country that President should be elected who recognizes the rights of the consum- CTS, and not merely the vested rights and wrongs of the railroads, since he has the appointment of the Inter- state Commerce Commission and of the Justices of the Supreme Court.
 The most important cases in which the right of the railroads to capital ize increases in, land values and charge rates thereon was involved were the Minnesota Rate Cases. The legislature reduced rates in that state, claiming that the railroads were not entitled to predicate rates on increas- ed land values. The case was ap- fn fhn Irif Court MT. Justice Hughes writing thei decision held:
 'tIt is clear that in ascertaining the present value, we are not limited to the consideration Of the amount of the original investment. The prop erty is held in private ownership. and it is that property, and not the ori- ginal cost of it, of which the owner may not be deprived without due process of law
 The railroads of the country re- ceived land grants of 1853 900, ,OOO acres of the continental land area-they have been given ter minals in cities, now immensely valu- able; and have received subsidies of about three-quarters of a billion dol lars. As population increases the value of their lands is constantly in- creasing. That value will, in a few years, be doubled.
 On this value, created by all the people, the Supreme Court decided the railroads are entitled to earn the same profit as on money they have legitimately and prudently invested. This unearned income will shortly amount to a billion dollars a year. MT. Hughes held that the values created by the people entitle rail- roads to charge the people high rates.

baseball commenced in New Bedford, Mass, in 1877.. In 1884 he was the Manager of the Providence club, which captured the National league pennant and then won the first worlds series from the Metropolitans. This series was played in New York on Oct. 23. "A and 25, and Bancroft's club took all three games with ease. It was this same aggregation which set up the record of twenty consecu- tive victories, which stood until it Was surpassed by the Giants last month. Radbourne and Sweeney were Ban croft's pitchers at Providence, with Glligan and Maya behind the bat. Joe Strat John Farrell, Jerry Denny and Arthur Irwin comprised the infield of the Greys, and Cliff Carroll, Paul Hines and Paul Radford were in the outer garden.
 It was in 1891, just quarter of a century ago, that MT. Bancroft was engaged by John T. Brush, as busi- ness manager of the Cincinnati club, and he has held that job ever since. There has been only one change in the presidency of the Reds in that period, August Hermann succeeding MT. Brush in 1903.
 Besides being the veteran of the baseball world, MT. Bancroft is also veteran of the Grand Army. He served four years during the civil war in the 9th regiment of New Hampshire volunteers.
