is why | cannot understand its spora-
die Temperatures today. The only as
sumption | can take in this regard is
that some of our people either are not
interested in having ADEQUATE trans
portation or else are sorely deceived
as to the ways to get it. The public
must realize that this is the time for
a new deal all around"
Mr.. Markham vigorously defended
railway capitalization in general and
the capitalization of the Illinois Cen
trail System in particular. He said:
"Of course, some persons will be
telling you that the stockholders are
not entitled to fair return on their
investment because the railroads have
issued 'watered' stock and are trying
to collect on a value that does not eX-
list. Our Lawmakers of an earlier date
were worried about that very same
bugaboo, and so they set up machi-
merry, under the authority of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, to
find out about it. That process of
valuation of the railroads of the
country has been in progress for many
years. Stocks or bonds or earning
capacity, including good will, have not
been considered in this valuation. The
factors taken into consideration have
been: cost of reproduction less de-
probation, original cost, other values
and elements of value.
"When a tentative valuation was
needed for rate-making purposes in
1920, the commission carefully weigh
ed the facts already at hand and set
the tentative valuation of the rail-
roads at S18,900,0 100000, which was
amost $2,000,000,000 in excess of the
net capitalization of all the railroads
outstanding in the hands of the public
at the end of 1919. In other words
on, the face Of the commissions esti-
mate at the time-an estimate which
is being corroborated by the final
valuations being served upon indivi
dual railroads.&c. railroads are
worth at least S2,000,000,000 more
than the net face value of all their
stocks and bonds outstanding in the
hands of the public. The average
railway stock today is selling at much
less than par, and that means that
the current market value of the pro-
perties is so much less than what
they are really worth that railway
securities would be the best buy on
the market, were it not for the fact
that earnings have been SO unfortu-
nately restricted in the past.
"The Illinois Central System was
recently served with preliminary en-
survey of its valuation as
of June 80, 1915, seven and one-half
years ago. At that time, the Inter
state Commerce Commissions valua-
ton engineers estimated, the property
was worth about 1911, 100000. Now
that estimate was too low. as we hope
to show the commission, but even TAX
ing that estimate as it stands and

HOW THE NAME "WHITE
PLAGUE" ORIGINATED

"The White Plague" as term to
designate tuberculosis is known the
world over and is seen in all langu-
ages in all countries where an organi-
zed fight is being made against this
disease, but few people perhaps know
the origin of the term or where it
was first used. The fact that it was
an American, and well known
American at that, VINO originated the
term, may be of interest.
Tt was Oliver Wendell Holmes who
first used the term "White plague"
to designate tuberculosis, it was no
longer ago than 1861. In. that year
the author and humorist issued his
medical novel, elsie Venner," and in
it he describes the travels OF coun-
try doctor and what experiences he
encounters in the course of his trips
through the countryside with pony
and "sulky,,s
And in that passage he speaks Of
"the dead winter, when the white
plague of the North has Gagged its
wasted victims, shuddering as they
think of the frozen soil which must
be ouarried like rock to receive them"
So far as known this was the first
time that the term white plague"
was used, but then it has become so
universal that it is now recognized as
a synonum for the scientific name of
tuberculosis. being perhaps even
more universally used than the other
popular term Consumption
The comparatively recent origin Of
the term emphasizes the fact that the
campaign against tuberculosis is OF
quite recent origin. In the days OF
oliver Wendell Holmes tuberculosis
was still equivalent to a death SEN
/ tence. Practically nothing was known
| about the disease and when a per-
son once had it he was given up for
lost. But today just the reverse is
! the case.

President Markham Talks Before
Kentucky Manufacturers Association

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 12.-Dis-
tinguishing between the permanent in
terests of good transportation and the
merely temporary agitations for lower
rates, higher wages or higher re-
turns on the investment. President
C. H. Markham of the Illinois Central
System tonight reminded the Ken
lucky Manufacturers Association, at
its annual meeting, that the railway
business is a service that must be
maintained at all costs. The greatest
necessity of the country at present is
to see that railway facilities are prop
erly expanded for the needs of adj
vancing business, he declared, and
the only way that can de done under
private ownership, to which the nation
is committed, is to allow the investor
to make at least as much money by
going into railway securities as into
other securities.
"The railroads can never attract the
billions of dollars of new capital that
they now so urgently need until they
are allowed to earn fair return upon
the money invested in them," he said.
"That fact ought to be clear, and
every American ought to know it. 1t
is not a matter of what the railroads
ought to earn; it is matter Of what
they have to, earn in order to COM
pete in the open market for new CAPT.
tai"
Mr.. Markham commended the pre-
sent Transportation Act as being the
greatest hope yet shown for the pro-
sperity of American railroads, but
at the same time he agreed with Pre-
sident Harding in his recent declara-
ton that the functions of the Rail-
road Labor Board ought to be mer-
ged with those of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
"Public suspicion of big business, a
perfectly natural thing, has been fan
ned into flame by office seekers, not
only in the past but even today" Mr..
Markham went on to say. "The rail-
way question should be purely an eco
nomic one, hnt in too many cases it
has been made a partisan issue. The
railroads command but few votes,
while their patrons are legion; and
IL requires ilo ucep eiouShC Ny "
flee seekers to decide what attitude
toward the railroads is likely to be
the popular one. Needless to say,
their efforts in many cases have turn
ed passive suspicion into active hosti-
lily, wild promises of restrictive reg
ulation, particularly in the direction
of lower rates, have been INDUCED in
and many, many times have elected
men to office. In some campaigns,
it has merely been a question of which
candidate could show the most OPP
position to the railroads.
"This condition of which | speak is
largely past, although we still have
some evidences of it todav. The folly
of such an attitude, / thought, had
been clearly shown by its unfortu-
nate effect on our railroads; and that

mountaineers of Kentucky and the
inhabitants of the valley, is thrashed
out again in the Charles Maigne pro-
duction of THE Kentuckians," fea-
turing Monte Blue, the attraction for
the Coliseum Sunday and Monday.
The film was made from the popular
novel by John Fox, Jr., and it re-
tains the fine charhcterizations, the
simple mountain atmosphere, the
dramatic situations that abound in
the book.
Monte Blue is a heroic figure as
Boone Stallard, the backbone of his
clan, and the only man who could
quell feuds between the different
families. Stallard is sent to the
Kentucky Legislature and early there
he has clash with Randolph Mar
shall of the Blue Grass country, who
has his own Ideals about the way to
rule the mountaineers. In the end,
however, Boone convinces Marshall
that he can handle his own people
and that they can fight their own
problems, thus making for union
of these two elements of Kentucky
civilization in common accord.
