REFUSES DEMAND
. TO REVALUE ROADS
Interstate Commerce BODY
Will Not Comply With
La Toilette Move.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today refused demand that it
reconsider all of its work in the
physical valuation of the country's
railroads.
Petitions making such a demand
presented by the National conference
IN Valuation of American Railroads,
which Is headed by Senator La Fol-
lette OF Wisconsin, were dismissed.
The conference, whose program was
drawn up last spring at a meeting
N Chicago attended by western po-
iitical leaders and others, sought to
have the commission establish the
original cost of property investment
other data. All the existing Vafua-
tfon work of the commission was at
tackled as unsound.
The commissions decision today
held that it was practically impossi- =
BILE to find the facts as to the ex-
DenditureS actually made by railroadA
IN the period Of their early history.
There must be some limit to our
expenditures of public funds in re-
search" the decision said. We are
of the opinion that our present course
has been in substantial compliance
with the valuation statute"
Commissioners Eastman and Nc
Manamy dissented. COMMISSIONS er
Potter, although concurring in the
decision, suggested that the commits
sion had taken far too seriously the
burden of finding original costs.
The commission directed that no
tices of all proceedings in arriving at
valuations should hereafter be served
upon Senator La Toilette for his in
formation as chairman Of the confer
enCe,
