SOME WOULD ANSWER NEVER
French Law Wants to Know at What
Age q Man 10 Competent to
Choose . Wife7

At what age. does a man possess
sufficient ability to be able to choose
a wife?
According to the present French
laws, remarks the New York Tribune,
he Is not considered capable until he
reaches thirty years, and should
he marry before that time he must
obtain the consent of his parents. In
1918 and again in 1919 the chamber
lowered the age to. twenty-five, but
each time the bill was rejected by the
senate. Soon another attempt to al.
ter the law will be made by Able
Lemire, deputy for the Nord.
The able says that men who would
make an unwise marriage at twenty
Ave would be just as>liable to do the
same thing at thirty. He also thinks
that more men and women who have
supposedly reached the g Of dis
erection make more unhappy marri-
ages than younger people.
II certainly think q man Is sufficient
ly matured by the time he is twenty
five. or even twenty-One. to enter into
marriage upon his WI responsibility.
1t seems ridiculous for q man to have
to ask his parents consent until he
is thirty"
The Marchioness Townsend gives as
her opinion that by the time he IL
twenty-five If a man has bad tend
encies they will have developed. or
If he has good tendencies they will
also have developed. 1t would GER
tainly, in my opinion, be a good thing
to lower the age at which a French
attains his majority"

TRACTION VALUATION

GOVERNOR MILLER, of New York. has
~ laid down rule for the valuation of
traction companies which deserves the con.
sidcraton Of those who are engaged in a
valuation Of the properties operated by the
Il. Il. T.
He applies to these companies the same
basis which is used in estimating the value
Of any private business enterprise. He says
that "thc true rule of valuation of any
property for business purposes is the Cap-
talzcd value of its prospective earnings
under normal conditions" Thus il n com
pany is earning 81 ,0OO. 900 a year net in
come at five-cen fare it could be capital
izCd at 500, 900, 900, and. other things being
equal. this would be n proper valuation.
But the governor recognizes that there are
other clements to be considered No matter
what the earnings may be. tho valuation on
which the fares should be based should in
no case exceed what it would cost to repro
ducc the lines under normal conditions
Taking these two rules as n guide. il
would seem as II the value of the properties
operated by the +. r. 7. are not greater
than it would cost to reproduce them. and
rs il, in tho event of n five cent fare being
enough to earn per cent dividends on that
cost, there were no justification for n
higher rate.
