WIN SUIT
Decision BY Supreme Court Today on

WASHINGTON, March S.-The rail.
roads of the country in the supreme
court today won their suit to compel
the interstate commerce commission
in fixing the valuation of the lines to
accept the present value of right OF
ways and terminals instead Of the or.
iginal cost.
The decision is of far reaching i'm
portance, because the valuation now
being made by the commission prob
ably will be used as the basis for max
ing rates under the Esch.Cummins
bill, which will guarantee the roads
&. return of 51a per cent on their prop.
erty value. The effect of the decis-
ion is to increase the interstate com
merce commissions valuation of the
roads, with the probable consequence
of higher rates.
The test suit was brought by the
Kansas City Southern, backed by 9TH

valuation of it's right of way and ter
