mission on the bills now pending which
propose amendments to the Transport,.
tion Act.
The aggregate valuation Of slsy.
90O, ZOO, 900, placed by the commissio,
on railroad properties as a basis for
estimating return, was determined, Nj,
Hall said, by taking into consideration
the original cost of the properties, cos,
of reproduction, the accrued deprecia. :.
ton, the amount of investments. ths
corporate histories of the properties. tSs
value of the lands, and other values AMI
elements Of value, IL any" n
Commissioners Hall pointed out th,,
the commission would have granted An
increase in freight rates in order Ia
give the railroads the Government
guarantee, but found 1t necessary IA
provide for an increase in interstats
passenger fares also when the Labor
Board granted increases In wages. "
Commissioner Hall insisted that under
the decisions Of the Supreme Court thu
commission has authority to remove any
discrimination between interstate and
intrastate rates and fares.
1--WE Gid not undertake to fix a sinrls
intrastate rate" Commissioner Hall
declared, although we could have done
so.n
Chairman Cummins directed the com.
missioner's attention to the charge that
the commission had authorized the rail.
roads to increase intrastate rates ito
remove the disparity" with interstate
rates.
''In no case did we regard the dis.
parity alone and by ITSELF the com.
missioner replied. las establishing un.
due prejudice and unjust discrimination.
IL we had been inclined to do so. there
would have been no necessity for the
prolonged hearings and investigation Of
railroad values"
The Transportation Act was described
by Commissioner Hall as providing the
commission Short cuts to accomplish
what 1t was otherwise authorized by
law to do.
Commissioner Hall told the commit
tee that II was not until after the State
Commissions had failed to take action
in adjusting discriminating inter.
state rates, OF which the railroads had
complained. that the commission au.
thorized the railroads to increase their
State rates to the level of the inter.
state rates. He denied that the rates In
twenty four States had been "frozen''
or made immovable by the action taken
by the Federal Commission.
