Commission, before the Senate Com mittee on Manufactures last year when it had under consideration the Calder bill for the regulation of the coal industry. The question of rail road rates being up, the valuation Of the railroads adopted by the Coh- mission became a subject of inquiry by members of the Committee, as follows:
 Senator Reed: "How did you get at the value of the property? What is the general basis? Is it stocks and bonds? Is it physical value?"
 Mr. Clark: "Stocks and bonds were net considered at all. The question of capitalization was not thought of. t is the fair value as closely as c0-ld be estimated and approXima- ted at that time of the physical property which was devoted to the transportation service. We had mass of information gathered in our valuation work, which is not in com plete form to be given out in the form of reports and findings, and the transportation act specifically luth- orized us to avail ourselves of that information. We availed ourselves of all the information we could.' Senator Jones of New Mexico: 'Does that figure ($18,9OO,000,0OO) include the percentage arising from the increase in the value of mater ials and property in recent years, since the roads were constructed?" MT. Clark: "No, it does not at tempt to equate the values. The principal figures that we used in our values are as of 1913 and 1914. We fixed the price units on given rail road valuation as of June 30, 1914. Those price units we think were accurate, and they were based on experience of a series of years in the past up to that date, and the prices then prevailing, for the determlna- tion of what was up to that time the normal price for fixing the value of box car, a piece of track or any thing else. If, on a given railroad, we had made our figures on the basis of the valuation established, say, of June 30, 1913, we then computed the value of what the railroad had at that time. All that had been put in since that time, added, has been computed on its cost"
 Senator Jones: "The valuation which you have put upon the rail- pads is based more largely on cost than on present value, is it not?"
 MT. Clark: "Yes, sir. It is based on three different values that we de- termined. First, the cost of re2;o- duction as of the date of valuation, then upon the cost of reproduction less depreciation, which represents the depreciated condition of the property as of that date, and then the actual cost to date"
 Senator Pomerene: "$18,9 8,9OO,00O,- 000 was the best judgment of the Comm ,ssion after going through all the 2.& that had been gathered dur ing all these years?"
 Commissioner Clark: "Yes, sir"
 oenatcr Pomerene: "That should sat a. est the charge that there is 9,000,000,O0O of water in the rail roads now"
 That statement should be conclu- sive as to the basis of the valuations, .,Gticllarly so far as the brother

hoods are concerned, for MT. Clark formerly was head of the Order of Railway Conductors, resigning to become a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission, to which he
 was appointed by President Roose- welt. He amply demonstrated his
 qualifications for the position by his service on the Board where he rose
 to the Craftsmanship, which he held adopted. Probably no member of the body has been more influential in recent years than MT. Clark. It does
 net reflect, therefore, in any way upon the original appointment to surmise that in making it President Roosevelt was influenced in some
 'egree by a desire to have a man on
 the Board who would understand the
 point of view of the employees, and in
 some degree by a desire to nave a
 man on the Board who would under
 stand the point of view of the em- loves, and in whom they would have | confidence.
 The opinion is often expressed hat employers should continue to operate even though they are not finding sale for their products, in order to give employment for labor.
 The practicability of this policy may
 be judged from the following figures given out by the General Electric | Company, showing the distribution of
 it's income over a period of three years, and those the most prosperous
 ears of it's history. The figures \ show the average distribution of
 each dollar of gross receipts in the years 1918-19-20:
 Gents Wages and salaries (paid to an
 average of 73,900 employees) AT
 Materials, supplies, depreciation, operating charges and losses. 40 6 Surplus (used for enlarging plants, inventories and working | capltaD ........... ~ Dividends to all stockholders l Beverage number, 1,461) -. 40

Total

This statement will show the ne- cessity for a continuous inflow of money to keep the business in funds to operate. The costs of operation tock over 91 per cent of the gross receipts as fast as they came, and the gross receipts aggregated hun dreds of millions of dollars. It is impossible for such an organization to operate long without selling its products. The figures also show how small is the possibility of increasing wages at the expense of profits, even if all of the latter were devoted to that purpose in the case of one of the most prosperous companies n the country.

Mayor Leach was elected after a
bitter contest, fight in which his sup

GERMAN PEACE
TREATY RATIFIED
Senate Also Approves Treaties
With Austria and Hungary
With 8 Votes to Spare.
REJECTS AMENDMENTS
Adopts Reservations Forbiddins Rep
resentation on Allied Commission
Without Consent of
Congress.

Washington The Administration
peace treaties with Germany, Austria,
and Hungary were ratified by the Sen
ate, the vote on the first two being sc
to 20, or eight more than the neces-
sary two-thirds, and in the case of the
Hungarian treaty, due to the absence
of three Senators, being sc to IT.
The Senate action completed the Ad-
ministration's immediate. peace pro-
gram, and brought full state of peace
with the principal enemy powers Re-
naming now are the formal exchanges
of ratification, except in the case CT
Hungary, as that government alone
has yet to complete parliamentary ac-
ton on the treaty.
Republicans Opposed.
Only three Republicans, Senators
Borah, Idaho, LaFollette, Wisconsin
and Norris, Nebraska, the latter alb
sent on account of illness, and paired
against ratification, voted against the
treaties.
Fourteen Democrats, on the other
hand, supported the treaties, while two
more were paired in favor of ratifca-
ton.
Before final action was taken, a
Democratic effort to substitute for the
German treaty the treaty of Versailles,
with the IL Lodge reservations, was
defeated, and the Foreign Relations
committee reservations, prohibiting
American membership on the Allied
Preparations commission, or any other
international commission without the
consent of Congress were adopted.
Prominent among the speakers were
Senators Johnson, Republican, Califor-
mia, Hitchcock, Democrat, Nebraska,
and Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio, in
favor of ratification, and Senator La
Toilette, Republican, Wisconsin, in
opposition
Senator LaFollette opposed the
treaty because sits ratification will in
volve this country in the quarrels of
Europe for period of 40 years to
come" he asserted, that the people,
at the last two national elections, had
demanded that this government be
kept free from European dissension,
and that attention be directed to
domestic conditions which, he de-
clared, menace the stability Of Amer
lean democracy"
Senator Johnson, himself one OF the
''irreconcilables" said he could not sub
scribe to the views of other "irrecon-
cilables" that the treaty would be
likely to involve this country in Euro
pean entanglements, although recog-
MIXING the sincerity of those holding
that view.
Johnson Sees Danger.
He declared, however, unalterable
opposition to Americas joining the
Allied Preparations commissions. The
views of Secretary Hughes in favor of
such representation, he said, "consti-
tute the danger of the future" Secre-
tary Hughes, the senator declared,
was zone of those who woulu have
taken us into the maelstrcnI Of Eu-
rope"
The reservation co the treaty, pro-
viding that no American representa-
tive on the PREPARATIONS or other COM
mission shall be appointed without the
consent of Congress, however, pro
tects'' the country, Senator Johnson
said.

Walter Nichols Of Waiworth, this
state, claims he has an easier and
surer method of eradicating quack grass
than with the hoe. He finds that
sudan grass seeded at the rate Of 20lbs.
per acre about June lst when the
weather is warm, and on a well pre-
pared seed bed, will eliminate quack
every time. 10 1919 a three acre strip
in his field over run with this pest was
left quackless by this treatment. On
either side Of this patch where oats
we're sown, the weeds remained as
vigorous as ever. Not only did the
sudan smother the quack but it yielded
three tons Of hay to the acre the first
cutting and a lot of fall pasture the
second cutting. In the corn last year
not a spear Of quack could be seen
where the sudan had been the year
previous. Mr. Nichols says others
may hoe quack if they like. but he is
done Is this quack grass the same as
what is know around here az twitch'
grass?
