One of the finest things about golf
Is the fact that il IS d game which
any human being with ordinary in
t"lliEence may learn to like merely
because he can hit a ball. There is
nc thing that has stuck close TO the
human race since the days of the
Neanderthal man than the desire to
hit something with a stick or kick
something out of the way. Every

facts. especially the latter. \ stove

simply can't putt and there have been

matches because they putted less
accurately than they Swiped the ball

thought il was too easy. And they

DENIES AIM TO HAVE.

Conference Counsel on Road
Valuation Explains Purpose
Is Not ConfisCation.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. July 23.-Denial that the
national conference on railway valu-
alton has made any move that would
result in government ownership or
contisCation of the railways was
made in statement by Donald r.
Richberg. general counsel for the
conference. whose reply brief to
attorneys for the Interstate Com
merce Commission will be filed be-
fore the commission tomorrow. The
conference. formed here May %, CON
tends that the valuation of the car
rierS for rate-making purposes
should be based ON original cost of
building and equipment. against the
contention of the railways that il
should he based on present costs of
replacement
The brief is signed by Mr. Rich
berg, Herman J.. Ekern. attorney
general of Wisconsin: }. w. Murphy.
attorney general of Arizona. and
Granville :. Mcfarland special coun-
sci for the city of Boston; who ar
gued the case orally before the com
mission recently.
The national conference does not
claim that the railroads have value
for rate making purposes of only
$4,000. 100000" Mr. RichberG said.
The conference only claims that
there Is no proof that the invest
ment remaining in the railroad prop
critics equals the tentative valuation
fixed by the commission as Of Jan
uarN /. 1920. at SlS,9o0.OO0. coo. The
railway claims do not amount to
only $4,000, 100000 or less but ac-
cording to railway representatives
they will total between $4,000. 900 =
900 and $4,000 100000.
The era of freuzied finance and
exploitation of the public by railway
tinanciers has not ended. For exam
pie. the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern are just now engaged in
completing the purchase of the Bur
iington without the payment Of Il
single dollar. The entire purchase
price. S207.000.000. is being paid by
tho public through excessive rates.
"ScandniouS Management" Charged.
THE era OF scandalous manage
ment of railroads for private profit is
not ended. The rascality OF the $10O-
100000 Cleveland terminals project.
involving the New York Central and
PENNSYLVANIA and the Nickel Plate
has not yet been fully accomplished.
The national conference has no;
made a single move that could pos =
sibly result in either confiscation OF
property or government ownership OF
roads. Yet it has been accused Of
having both these purposes. The In
terState Commerce Commission has
not aScertained the or ginal cost OF
ting this duty is imposed upon it in
the valuation act. The commission
attorneys claim the task is mpossi-
BILE. The conference attorneys are
seeking to demonstrate that il is pos
sible to comply with the law.
