WASHINGTON, D. c., May g.
Throughout the winter the Interstate
Commerce Commission has been en-
gagged upon an intensive study of fix
ing railroad freight rates to provide
transportation for American business
at reasonable charges and at the same
time to enable the railroad corpora
tons to earn a fair return on their
investment. This is tremendous un-
dertaking. The commission has heard
thousands Of pages Of testimony from
/ experts representing railroads, ship
pers, investors and the general public.
One of the most difficult problems in
volved IS how much the commission
should be guided in fixing rates by the
need of the railroad companies for rev.
enue adequate to pay dividends to their
stockholders.
! There are two Numerically opposed
schools of thought on the question of
rate making in relation to return. The
railroads maintain that the commits
sion should consider the amount of
money invested in railroad property,
equipment and cost of operation and
then fix rate which will yield a fair
return-say 6 per cent-on this capital
sum. They say that they are regulated
and not in the free market of competi-
ton and therefore should have rates
fixed on a basis which will guarantee
earnings.
In opposition, the shippers present
some such argument as follows: A
man owns two houses. Both cost him
$1,000, including land and building
But one is better situated or better
designed than the other.
He can get rent of $50 month fol
. enc house, but only $40 a month fol
the other After holding them fol
some time he desires to sell. Pros
pective purchasers investigating tt
learn what these properties were actu
ally worth would find out what rem
they yielded the owner. Upon discov
!, ering that one house paid a return
: of $40 and the other $50 they would
offer higher price for the $50 house
than the other.
In other words, the value of prop
erty must be determined by it's earnin,
: power. The rule sought by the rail
roads is the reverse, that is, the earn
ing rate must be fixed arbitrarily b,
: the cost of the property.
Commission Must Judge
l This gives something of an idea o
: the difficult problems which arise il
l connection with rate regulation. Bot
sides have their champions. The com
mission must decide between them. T
: obtain the best available information
the commission gathers elaborate data

not nearly SO heavily mortgaged at any
time during the period as the railroads.
The funded debt. that Is, the mortgages
already on the industrials, in 1911 was
only 1880. by 1920 it had declined to

creased, ranging from 13 per cent in
| 1911 to 32.14 per cent in 1920.
| But railroads constitute an absolute
! ly essential public utility. They carry
the mails they convey the public about
/ its business, they transport the freight
of the nation. The railroads must en-
dure. The government would not let
/ them go out of business under any
consideration. They constitute per
manent fixture in the community.
Industrial corporations do not have

sometimes fail disnlally, no matter
how strong they appear, and smaller

/ Grafton of great ones. Industria1S are
changing; railroads are less so. This
means that the security of the indus
trial stock or bond is not so firnl!
based as the security of the railroad
obligation. Therefore, although on the
surface it appears that the relatively
low debt and large surplus of the in
dustrials would make them always pre-
ferred when compared with the more
heavily encountered railroads, tn,
greater solidity of railroad enterprise
must be set against this.

light on the relative positions of these
two important business groups.
The man in the street who works
for salary sometimes has difficulty in
thinking Of money as financiers, indus
tria1ists and economists think of it.
The fact is that money in the large
business sense is commodity just as
potatoes, shoes, wheat or steel are COM
modities. It's price and availability are
determined by the laws of supply and
demand just as in the case of other
goods. Money has a price as much as
cigars. The price of money is express
ed as interest. In reality, it is rent. A
given amount Of rent Is paid for the
use of money for yoar. The rent is
high or low in accordance with the
abundance or scarcity of idle money
and also in accordance with the rela-
tive risk involved of losing it or getting
it back at the end of the lease. If a
man is sure he will get his money
back he will rent it for lower figure.
Many men are willing to run a slight
risk in order to earn the higher rent
for the use of their money which a
risky investment pays. No'one is will
ing to run very much of a risk Cap
ital, that is money, is the most timid
commodity in the world
{ Now DIR. Muller has studied a group
of railroads and a group of industrial
companies for the ten-year period from
1911 to 1920, inclusive, to ascertain
which group pays the best yield.
One thing which governs the safety
/ of an investment is the amount oil

ity offered
| Much Money In Roads
DR.. Muller's figures show that FOL
this ten-year period more money al
ready had been invested in the
railroads than in the industrials B!
industrials is meant manufacturing en-
terprises and the like. The figures
show that for the ten years, approx
mately half of the value of the rail
roads was mortgaged. The figures 70
the mortgaged portion range from $50
per cent in 1911 to 470S per cent il
1920. The surplus, that is, profits, TO
this group range from 1888 per cent il
1911. to 1858 per cent in 1920 Thi
shows that the railroads progressivel
got into better financial shape. Nor

they had larger surpluses at the end G
the ten-year period than at its begiT

The fire broke out about 2:45 o'clock

under control, however, shortly more
than an hour later.
The principal damage was in the
destruction Of valuable machinery
while the polishing department also
suffered considerably. The blaze was
confined principally to this building
housing both departments, although
small fires broke out in other buildings
of the plant.

$3.50 These are DR.. Mullers figures.
He points out that the ten-year pc
Rod has resulted in overcoming to
some degree the equality of the compe-
tition ten years ago and that now the
industrials, despite their greater haz-
ard, have got the best of it. They pay
so much higher rent that people are
willing to take a chance to get the
greater return.
Not until this analysis was made by
DR.. Muller were any definite figures
available on just what handicap was
faced by the railroads in getting the
use of money.
/ The Transportation Act limits the
amount of dividends which railroads
can pay to 6 per cent This limitation
DR.. Muller regards as unfair as, he
claims, it places the railroads at a dis
advantage in comparison with the in

NICHOLSON RECALLS
HISTORY OF EARLHAM
IN TALK TO SENIORS

The annual senior day chapel exer-
cises, in which the members of the
senior class appear in caps and gowns
for the first time, were held at Earl
ham this morning. Timothy Nichol-
son gave the address to the seniors.
Mr.. Nicholson recounted the growth
of the college since he first became
acquainted with it in 1861. He stated
that the observatory was the first
building of its kind to be erected on
college campus in the state and
also that the Parry Hall science lab
oratory was the first separate college
building for this purpose in Indiana.
Mr.. Nicholson was the chairman of
the building committee of the board
of trustees when the science building
and Lindley Hall were erected. He
also cited several interesting features
in regard to the identifying of the
campus and stated that he remem
bered distinctly when the trees of the
college drive were planted.
Mr. Nicholson said the senior gowns
were held as "a symbol of liberty ir
college. President Edwards urged
student body to honor seniority in col
lege standing.

Civilization
(Told In Eight Sketchesy
BY JOHN RAYMOND
PREHISTORIC SUNSHINE

Coal may. we'll be described as pre-
historic sunshine. Ages before the
dawn of our own era vast forests COW
cred large portions of the earth's sur
face. In this ancient vegetation were
stored up the treasures of nature and
after the lapse of ages it became the
heritage of civilization.
For centuries after it came into use
coal was looked upon as valuable only
as fuel. Later coke was obtained from
it, then sulphur and lampblack, and
finally gas for purposes of illumination.
That seemed to be the limit of its pos
sibilities few years ago but today it
would be difficult to enumerate all the
articles of commerce extracted from
its by-products.
Coal contains little of everything
that goes to make up trees but it
would be mistake to imagine that
everything that comes out of coal tar
is contained within it. While there are
only about dozen primary products
extracted from coal tar, from these the
chemist is able to develop hundreds of
thousands of new substances. This is
synthetic chemistry; or the process of
building up intricate compounds step
by step.
Raw material for the development of
these coal tar by-products-war mate
rails, fertilizers, colors, drugs and a
host of other things-exists in abund-
ance in this country, but we must be
sufficiently interested in our future

whooping cough to a single room.
Hence, it would be well to SEND
away, if possible, all those to whom
the disease would be dangerous be-
fore they are exposed.
Whooping cough is communicated
by. contact with the patient or with
articles freshly soiled with the dis
charge from the nose and throat.
Cats and dogs are susceptible to the
disease, and may become infected
and transmit the infection to the
child who plays with them.
Quarantine should be maintained
until the spasmodic stage is over,
usually about six weeks.
During an attack Of whooping
cough, the child's strength, which is
sometimes sorely tried, should be
maintained by nourishing food,
plenty of sleep and rest, and other
hygenic measures. An abundance of
fresh air is desirable.
