RAILROAD VALUES
 NOT ID BE CHANGED
l. (. (. Refuses to Reconsider All
 Its Valuation Work

Washington, Dec. S.-The interstate commerce commission today refused demand that it reconsider all of its work in the physical valuation of the country's railroads.
 Petitions making such demand, presented by the national conference on valuation of American railroads, which is headed by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, were dismissed.
 The conference, whose program was drawn up last spring at meeting in Chicago, sought to have the commis- sion establish the original cost of property investment and labor in rail roads. as well as other data. All the existing valuation work of the com mission was attacked as unsound.
 The commissions decision today held that it was practically impossible to find the facts as to the expendi- lures actually made by railroads 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 Me Manamy dissented. Commissioner Potter, although eoncurring in the de cision. suggested that the commission had taken far too seriously the bur den of finding the original costs"
 The commission directed that mo- tices of all proceedings in arriving at n upon Senator LaFollette for his in formation as chairman of the confer cnce.

 Furniture Rates
 In dealing with two minor points raised during the general rate study ] the commission ruled that hereafter rates on fibre or reed furniture should be reduced to an equality with like rates on wooden furniture. Racing or homing pigeons, il was also said should hereafter be hauled at the second class rate over distances not exceeding 400 miles instead of the hrst class rates now charged.
 The question Of express rates was brought under investigation by the commission in 1922. following q re- duction in general railroad freight rates.
 Taken as d whole the evidence of record leads to the conclusion that in inc absence of general industrial depression inc express business should steadily increase" the commission said "Thrre is no evidence that utilization of present express facilities generally is approaching the point of saturatlon."
 The opinion was expressed that with d good volume pf business the Aneri- can Railway Express company could make proper earnings and at the same time give the rail lines which handle it's traffic a fair return.
 The Southeastern Express company, which operates separately, was said to have begun business two years ago but to have encountered "a healthy growth" under present charges.

Among the ranchers that suffered
from the storm were Hamp Hecox,
George Stimson, Wesley Davis, R. v.
Spain, Harold Wright, Albert Ford,
George Spring and many others living
in the East Gallatin and Springhill
districts. In the Springhin country
only the ranches bordering on the
mountains and east of Ross creek
were affected by the hail, though on
most of the ranches the tall spring
grain was badly lodged by the wind.
Second crop alfalfa, which is now
getting knee high, showed the effects
of the hail more than the grain crops
in many instances. The tender al
falfa shoots were broken off two to
four inches from the top, and in some
instances the ground was literally
covered by these broken tips.
The highway in front of the old
GOWN grove was fairly well carpet

hail.

"Americanism." He laid stress on
the individualism of the country, and
stated that it should be encouraged in
every possible way. He said he had
no patience with those who wished TO
legislate on everything, and stated
that if four-fifths of the present laws
were dumped overheard the country
would be better off. He stated that
America was the land where every
one had an equality of opportunity.
No two men, he said, were born with
the same amount Of brains or of
money or anything else, but every
man was born in this country with
an equality Of opportunity. In dis
cussing individualism among our peo-
pie, he stated that Russia had even
greater natural resources than this
country, but that the trait for indi-
vidual effort, so strongly developed
in Americans, had made this country
the greatest in the world.
