Washington, D. C.,-Victory of the
farnler-labor candidate for governor

sidered here to furnish additional

PERE MARQUETTES WATER
Nearly 40 per cent of the value
claimed by the Pere Marquette rail-
road is water, the Interstate Com
meree Commission finds ard 50 re-
ports In It's evaluatien proceedings.
Engineers of the commission say
the Pere Marquette can be rebuilt
new, less depreciation, for $63 ,309 ,242.
Included in this figure is heavy al
owanoe for increase of land values, a
policy that many economists denounce
as unsound.
Against the valuation given the
Pere Marquette, there are in the
hands of the public, stocks and bonds
with par value of $1O1, 1856.
