Washington. June THE inter-
state copmerce commission presum-
ably will have to shoot in the dark
With its railroad valuation decisions
until it finally hits a scheme OF valu-
alton which a majority Of the United
States supreme court can approve.
The courts recent decision III the
case of the st. Louis g. O'Fallon rail-
road, while it doubtless has encour-
aged railroad and other public utili-
ties owners who always yearn Tor
higher rates and greater profits,
probably will not IN itself affect the
utilities rate structures at this time.
Nevertheless. the decision has
forced the l. G. G. to do a lot OF work
all over again and has put off the
day which will determine whether
the railroads must surrender or be
permitted to retain millions OF dol
lars which is claimed by the govern
ment under the recapture provisions
of the Transportation Act which al
low them a profit of six per cent
Some Of the recapture money has
been paid, but railroads have held out
. lot more.
IT'S Still Unsettled
Those are the immediate results Of
the O'Fallon decision, in case anyone
has been confused.
The supreme court has left up IN
the air the question OF how a regu-
lating body should value a public
utility for rate-making purposes. II
said the 1. C. C. decision in the ORAL
Ion case was wrong because 1t didn't
take in the cost Of reproduction fac
tor, but failed to say to what extent
that factor should be allowed te
count.
The court has been leaving the is.
sue up in the air for 80 years. II
1893, in the famous case OF Smytt
vs.. Ames, it enumerated several fac.
tors, including 1.-The present as com
pared with the original cost of con
struction" and said that these were

peal to determine whether or not eaCl

of these factors had been given
proper weight. 1t gave iate fixing
commissions no yardstick to go by
and they had to make up their cTn.
In the O'Fallon decision the court
devoted itself principally to reouking
the l. C. c. for not taking the repro
duction cost factor into account. Jus
tice Stone. in his dissenting opinion,
suggested in effect that the ]. G. g.,

could have avoided this objection. but
it appears to have been the idea OF
the commission that the problem
ought to be an admirable aim, but the
court now virtually leaves the I. G. g.
back in 1898 with Smyth VS.. Annes.
Justice Brandies. in his dissenting
opinion, says that the majority OF the
court held that the rate base should
be the actual value and his conccp-
ton OF its idea has not been contra
dicted. Members of the I. G. G. point
out, however, that actual value fluc-
tuates from year to year and that 1t
is always a terrific job to determine
it. The courts majority opinion went
out OF its way. incidentally, to admit
that no doubt the actual value Of
some railroads would have to be
placed far below the cost of repro
| duction.'
A Tough Problem
AS long as the supreme court con-
| tinues to lay down III general rule as
: to the relative weight which rate
making bodies should give to various
valuation factors. it is likely to be up
against such a problem as would be
presented If a state commission in
one state gave reproduction cost so
per cent weight In determining q
utility valuation and another in an
other state gave a SIMILAR utility's
reproduction cost only five per cent
weight-and both cases were carried
to the supreme court. Such an &C.
currence would make 1t much more
difficult for the court to maintain Its
present position.
But the court has changed It's at
titude before.
Away back in the seventies, in the
case Of Mum vs.. Illinois, one Of the
Granger cases, it held that It wasn't
up to the courts to determine the
fairness of utility rates, but to the
legislatures.
