tration. That body made flat in
creases in cents per hundred pounds,
thereby preserving existing rate rela-
tionship on a large number of basic
commodities. The administration also
fixed maximum advances on livestock
and grain, thereby protecting distant
markets. The commission failed to
do anything of this character except
for the coal and grain shippers. How
ever. it left this open for further con-
sideration. In many industries it will
be a tragedy if the railways-and COM
mission do not grant this relief"
Valuation Was Reduced.
Thorne explained how the COMMITS
sion had gone about determining the
valuation of the railways.
THE commission has reduced the
claims of the railways by more than
S1O0,0O0.000 annually" he said. .It
has declined to accept the property in
vestment accounts of the railways as
representative of their value. 1t has
reduced this sum by more than ST.
600, 100000. A reduction of $780,
! 600, 900 may seem small but it is twice
as sreat as the total amount involved
in the advance rate case of 1910, twice
as great as that involved in the ceie-
brated five per cent case GIBBS, and
sixteen times as great as that in the
western advance rate case of 1915"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1920-08-03

suit of the decision, is earnestly to be
desired. Shippers should cooperate
to the limit in the heavy loading and
prompt release of cars. 1t is now up
to the railroads to make good"
In discussing the rate adjustment
phase. Thorne said:
Hits Long Haul Men.
That which is of keen interest to
manufacturers and jobbers relates to
the rate adjustment between competl-
tive points. a percentage advance
makes wholesale disturbance in rate
relationship. A 40 per cent increase
on a dollar rate is four times as much
las a 40 per cent increase on a 25-cent
rate. Consequently. percentage ad-
vance will compel the long haul ship
per to absorb very substantial por-
ton of the advance to meet the prices
OF his competitors.
ION the other. hand, the commits
sion has been very liberal to the car
riers, granting 80 per cent of their
claims If one were to buy all the
railroad property in the United States
at the present market prices of their
securities and could sell them to the
government at thesvalue fixed by the
commission, he would make more than
$1,000, 100000. At a time when rail-
way securities are not worth more
than rs cents on the dollar the COM
mission has deliberately wiped out all
fictitious capitalization and adopted as
a value of our railways outstanding in
the hands of the public, plus more
than S1,000,000.000
Appraisal Only Tentative.
"In determining the value of the
railways, the commission did not out
line its reasons or facts in detail but
wisely left that for more extended in
vestigation making the present APP
praisaI only tentative. The next great
case is going to be the actual deter
mining of the valuation of the rail-
ways by company. Test cases will be
decided in the very near future"
In discussing the rate adjustment
phase Thorne said:
AT present commodity prices have
been adjusted to equalize this freight
cost and that equalization or parity
can be maintained if the advances in
rates are substantially the same for
rival companies; otherwise. it forces a
lreadjustment of values and a disturb
ance in business conditions of the most
| serious character. In this respect the

Bakers Boost Bread Price.

Milwaukee, May 11.-Bread prices
on Monday were raised 1 cent on
loaves in pound and pound and one
half weights by practically every one
Of the $50 members of the Milwaukee
Master Bakers association. This &C
ton accOrds with a decision reached at
a meeting of the association Saturday
night at the Blatz hotel, when it was
agreed that an immediate increase in
bread prices was imperative. 1t is
left to each member to use his own
judgment in the matter of making the
raise. The price of rolls also will
be raised 3 cents a dozen. Advices
from Minneapolis on Saturday were to
the effect that flour prices were the
highest of the year. It was also re-
ported that, no matter what the prices
were, shipping conditions were such
that there was little demand and what
demand there was couldn't be satisfied
because of a shortage of cars. Unless
cars are obtained to move wheat and
move the flour after it is milled, new
high records may come within the next
few weeks, it was said.
