valuation
is knotty problem

Washington, June 21.-If the or
dinary citizen were asked on what
basis should the private owners Of
railroads be paid if the govern
+ment takes control, he would re
ply: "Get a valuation of the roads
and pay what the property is
worth.
1t is agreed that a valuation is
the first move before anything tan
gible can be done, but when the
method of valuation is inquired
into controversy Immediately
starts. This is shown by Glenn e.
Plumb, attorney for the railroad
brotherhoods, in an article pu-
blished in the bulletin of the A.
f. of L. railway employees depart
ment.
The brotherhoods insist that
railroad value can be determined
only by ascertaining the amount
of money the various roads have
actually invested at the present IT.

Under this theory profits over a

The Texas Midland railway has
another theory Of valuation. 1t
contends that the value of its prop
erty must be measured by the
cost Of production, at present cost
Of land, labor and material. This
theory ignores earning power, pru

amount of traffic and actual net
earnings.
Another valuation system is the

tives and security holders. who
demand that 6 and 6 / 2 per

sideration paid therefor, or the
services to the public which such
securities actually represent.

The Old Spanish Trail has a

Highway Commissioner of Arizo-
ma. And the East had better look
to the West or we will beat them
to it in construction work. A high

Florida is bound to win popular
favor"
Mr.. Gardner then went on to
say that California had already pro-
vided the funds for concrete road
bed along the Trail all the way to
the Arizona line. In Arizona"
he said all State and Federal
funds are now applied to the
through line across Arizona. We
here will have a standard built high
way from the New Mexico line a
cross Arizona and California to the
coast before many of the eastern
sections are built if the sections east
of us do not hurry"
