HUNT FOR FLAW
IN RAIL CHIEFS
STAND ON RATES
Critical Point Is Reached in
0'FaIIon Hearing on
Valuations.
BY HERBERT LITTLE


WASHINGTON, Jan. "A cri-
tical point had been reached today
in the argument of the O'Fallon
valuation case before the supreme
court.
What some observers believe a
fatal flaw in the railroads case will
be taken up for discussion, and if
the flaw is found, the case will be
dismissed in few weeks without a
ruling on the billion dollar valuation
question brought up by the railroads
and argued Thursday and today.
The possible weak point was made
the basis of the decision Of the
three-judge Missouri federal court.
That court found that even at the
high valuation of $1,350,000 claimed
by the nine-mile st. Louis and
O'FaIlon, the $685. 900 profits recap

merce commission failed to decrease

Consequently, the road had no
basis for its constitutional COM
plant of conhscation, the court
found. 1t refused to go into the
merits Of the commissions valuation
system.
The big legal guns of the govern
ment and the commission, defend
ing the commissions valuation,
however, will deal fully with the
broad arguments on this point.
Donald r. Richberg, representing
the national valuation conference,
was to conclude his economic argu-
ment in behalf of the commissions
method today, contending that
valuations must be fixed on the
basis of return which is fair.
The railroads, and apparently
Justices Sutherland and Van De-
vanter, judging from their ques-
tons, take the position that the
fair valuation is the primary con-
sideration; the rates can be calcu-
lated from the valuation.

Cloud, who is president and gen

He explained two methods by
which financial liability may be
achieved.
Carries Reserve
His own company, he said, carries
a cash reserve to satisfy claims
Of anyone injured in the cabs or by
them. This fund, in the case Of a
company which operates large

experience as to its amount, he
said, although the scheme might
be impracticable for Independent
cab owners.
The other method Is compulsory
insurance, which in the cases OF
owners of many vehicles would
probably be more expensive than
the cash reserve scheme, Cloud

A SEPARATE DEBT PACT

That the United States govern
ment is seeking to perfect its own
debt pact with the German republic,
Independent of the one arrived at by
the allied powers in the Young con-
ference on Preparations, became
known at Washington the other day,
and the fact will cause no surprise
in the minds of those who have been
acquainted with the policy of our
government for the past several
years in dealing with international
questions. Our government has
steadfastly refused to become in
volved in European diplomatic and
financial complications. Although
the United States was represented at
the Young conference it was in an
unofficial and not an official capacity
and it was made plainly understood
at the time that our government
would not consent to have the ques-
ton of our European debts tied up
with the allied-German reparations
question. 1t was understood also
that the United States government
would not become involved in the
proposed Bank for International Set
Elements in an official capacity. In
other words, Uncle Sam, while al
ways willing to help for the stability
of world conditions, desires to retain
his independence of action.
