The majority pointed to either SUI
preme Court decisions over long pc
Rod of years In isolated cases. Strictly
speaking. no general principle has
been enunciated by the Supreme Court
which the majority of the commission
felt could be taken as basis. So the
commissions report obviously is an
argument directed to the Supreme
Court, which will have to make the
final decision.
The commissions findings are hard
~ q surprise, because the basis of
valuation which the commission an
nounced has already been In use, and
the decision. therefore. amounts to a
confirmation.
The railroads through counsel have
been petitioning for the right to in
crease rates based on a higher valua-
ton. due to the spot reproduction
costs, but the commission has de-
clined to assent.
The issue does not Immediately ar
feet the situation, as there are many
points vet 10 be decided. and mean
while prices of materials have been
dropping somewhat. The Supreme
Courts decision will be awaited with
intense interest by the railroad and
financial world. but it may be a year
or more before the case is argued
and decided.

roads have earned above per cent, so
the issue has become pertinent as to
what Is the basis of valuation on which
the per cent shall be calculated. In
most instances the roads have earned
this year in the neighborhood of q
per cent, but they have, of course
realized that the day was not far off
when the deadline of per cent would
be reached
The question is per cent on|what?
Shall it be on the cost of materials and
commodities used by the railroads in
construction today. in the sense that
If the same properties were to be re.
produced present-day prices would
have to be paid, or is there some
other basis? The majority of the com.
mission argued that the amount of
money actually invested prior to 1914,
minus depreciation. should be consid.
cred, and then any additions or ex-
tensions constructed since 1914 should
be figured in at the current prices of
those years and depreciation deducted
again.
View of Dissenting Members.
The four members of the commits
sion who dissented took seriously the
view expressed by the Supreme Court
in recent cases, particularly the de-
cision in the Indiana public utilities
case, when spot reproduction value
was used as basis of rate making.

property, the Government Is entitled
to take one-half of the excess and
to utilize the money so obtained to
sustain lines that are necessary. but
unable to make earnings. The st.
Louis & O'Fallon Co., with a 9-mile
line in st. Louis. was one of the
first to present fully the issue in
a Government attempt to recapture

The decision also said that in an
effort to find the valuations 1t has

that their property is worth what II

The roads on the other hand will be
considered as worth what it would
have cost in 1914 plus whatever
actual sum has been invested in them
since. less depreciation.
Investing Public Not Disturbed.
Such valuation base. the decision
said, will not disturb the investing
public, now accustomed to it, nor
the present general level Of railroad
rates.
Another precedent also was set by
the commission ruling that the
O'Fallon company improperly had
added to its operating expenses by
payment of excess salaries to OFF,
GERS, and increased the Government S

While the Supreme Court recently
ruled that until a carrier had sus
tanned an actual loss or grievance
the commissions valuation policy
would not be given judicial review,
lawyers feel satisfied the O'Fallon
case will meet this requirement and
that the expected litigation would
follow.

/. G. &. Decision.
RY DAVID T.AWRENCE

Perhaps the most important test of
the power of the Interstate Commerce
Commission since that body was Gre
ated by Congress now will be placed
before the Supreme Court of the
United States to determine whether a
proper basis for rate-making is the re-
production cost of the actual invest
ment in a railroad.
The opinion just handed down by a
vote of to by the commission ulti-
mately will involve many billions of
dollars. The same issue is involved
in about 200 cases involving many inn
portant roads, but unquestionably the
commission viii await the outcome of
the Supreme Court proceedings before
going ahead with the other cases.
Transportation Act Quoted.
In a nutshell the transportation act
of 1920 permitted the railroads to earn
up to per cent in any one year, and
anything in excess of that sum was to
be divided equally between the Gov
eminent and the railroads. A few

H|NCKLEY CHARGE
DENIED BY HUDSON
Representative Says Com
mittee Was Not Aided Finan-
ciaIIy by Dry Group.
~ The Associated Press.


Denials and counter-charges were
exchanged here today in the latest
prohibition controversy, started by the
assertion of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment that the
Anti-Saloon League had paid expenses
of the House committee on the alco-
holic liquor traffic.
Representative Hudson of Michigan,
chairman of the committee, added his
denial to that of Wayne B. Wheeler
of the league, issued on Wednesday,
but @. G. HinckIey, secretary of the
Association Against the Amendment,
came back with a reiteration which
quoted Mr.. Wheeler as having re-
ported to his executive committee that
he had raised money to meet certain
expenses of the House committee.
Holds Charges Bluff.
Hinckley's charges were described
by Mr.. Hudson as sheer bluff and
dust-throwing. Neither Mr.. Wheeler
nor the Anti-Saloon League had made
any contributions toward the commit
tee in the four years he had been a
member. the Michigan representative
said.
1.-THE Anti-Saloon League is no more
to me than the Committee of One
Thousand or any other organization
battling for human betterment," he
continued IL am for them all, but
they cannot control me. nor buy me.
nor any committee of Congress
through any method"
Hinckley said that in a written re-
port to the executive committee of the
league, meeting here February IS,
1925, Wheeler said:
Quotes Alleged Report.
1.-THE alcoholic liquor traffic commit
tee, with Representative Grant ii.
Hudson as chairman, has been gath
ering material to make an official re-
port upon the results of prohibition
and it's enforcement and every phase
of this question. We have co-operated
in getting the facts. They have re-
ceiyed information from practically
all of the United States district attor-
neys, attorneys general of the States,
many of the governors, organizations
interested in prohibition and its en-
forcement.
1.-THE material, we believe, will fur
nish the basis for the most comprehen-
sive report that the Government has
ever made on this question. 1t will be
done. with practically no expense to
the Government, and will carry Gov
eminent sanction that will make it
valuable not only at home, but abroad.
Because of the fact that there was
no appropriation for the committee
we have had to do a great deal of the
work, and / had to raise some extra
money to meet certain expenses that
were incurred by the committee"

BASIS FOR RAILWAY
/. RATEMAK|NG FIXED
|. c. c. Majority Adopts Price
Levels of 1914 for Deter
mining Valuation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Price levels prevailing in 1914,
| rather than the higher levels of later
years, have been held by a ma jority
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission as the basis for determining
railroad valuation for rate making
and all other purposes.
The decision is regarded by railroad
officials as one that may possibly af-
feet computations attached to rail-
road properties by billions of dollars.
1t was handed down by the commits
sion yesterday in sustaining the Gov
ernment's attempt to collect excess In
come from the st. Louis & O'Fallon
Railroad.
A majority of the commission held
that it was bound by law to find a
valuation for all the railroads in the
country and that once this had been
determined ii also was bound to fix
rates that would enable efficient Caf-
riers to earn So per cent annually on
their valuation.
Five Concur i'm Opinion.
Commissioners Eastman. McMana-
my. Lewis, Esch and Campbell con-
CURED in the majority opinion, which
was written by Commissioner Meyer.
I'VE are dealing here with one
small railroad" it said. Nevertheless,
what we do in this case we must In
principle do for all the railroads of the
United States. Whatever our decision
is, it's effect in money is relatively
unimportant in this particular case.
But having in mind the whole rail-
road situationfi the decision is of the
greatest consequence from the public
and private viewpoints"
Under the policy as outlined. the
st, Louis & O'Fallon Co. was order
ed to pay the Government within 80
days $226,878. This amount is one-half
of the excess earnings for the years
1921 to 1924, inclusive, the commission
decided. For other carriers the pros
pect is now clear that demands for eX-
cess earnings in amounts many times
as large will be made by the Govern
ment. Final payments, however. are
not expected until the litigation is
carried to the Supreme Court for con-
firmation or rejection Of the commits.

I could picture the hopelessness Of

for, although they were fighting un-

not hope to COPE with the horde Of
mounted warriors who, enmasse, giving
whip to their ponies, rushed upon Gus

every direction. The firing was intense.
Even the small boys OF the tribesmen
were riding unsaddled ponies at mad

battle, shooting at the troopers already
fallen. 1t was a maddening din, with
whoops from savage throats vieing with
the carbines.
Presently, all is over on Custer Hill
and it was a horrible sight to be-
hold. Each soldier, who with Custer hac
sacrificed his life, lay where he had fall

could deny that they had fought bravely
