Supreme Court Decision
May Force Nationwide
Rate Increases.
JUDGES VOTE 5 TO 3
Reproduction Costs Must
Be Considered by |. C. c.,
Majority Rules.
BY HERBERT LITTLE


WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The
supreme court in five to three de-
ciSion on the famous O'Fallon rail-
road valuation case today ruled that
the interstate commerce commission
violated the will of congress in fail
ing to give reproduction costs" any
consideration in fixing railroad val
uationS.
The decision may require re-
vision of the railroad valuation
system, whereby the basis for al
railroad rates of the nation are
fixed.
The high court reversed the de-
ciSion of a three-judge st. Louis fed
eral court which refused to consider
the validity of the interstate COM
merce commission system of max
ing valuations for te-making and
profits recapture purposes.
Overturns /. c. c. System
Railroads sought to overturn tbs
commissions system because it was
not based on the current reproduc-
ton thery valuation.
Justice James c. McReynold' S
read the majority opinion.
Justice Louis D. Brandeis then
announced disagreement by him
self and Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes and Harlan F. Stone.
Justice Pierce Butler took no part
in the case.
Justice McReynolds opinion sta
ted that the 1920 transportation act
specifically directed the commission
TO take into consideration all rele-
want factors Of valuation in fixing
rate basis.
The court. was of the opinion that
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has not given weight to cur
rent values. he said.
Ordered by Congress
THE question before US" he said.
is not what weight is to be given to
this factor" Congress has said that
weight must be given to this fac
tor Reproduction costs at current
rates.
The court. he said, had come to
the conclusion that the commission
faield to carry out the order of con-
gress.
The opinion did not rule as be-
tween current values and reproduc-
ton costs. beyond its statement that
congress ordered that all factors be
considered.
The interstate commerce COM
mission purposedly made the ORAL
Ion case test case, its decision di-
rectlng the nine-mile St. Louis and
O'Fallen road in southern Illinois to
pay over $226.000 in alleged excess
profits for the period 1920-24, CAL
culated on the commissions valua-
ton Of $850,000
The railroads contended they
were entitled to larger valuation
based on enhanced prices which
have been in effect since the World
war.
Seek ) to 20 Billions More
This current reproduction cost
factor was considered but given
little weight by the commission,
which based its figures on 1914 COM
modify costs, plus present value Of
land property and actual cost of
additions made by the roads since
1914.
The commissions valuations Of all
roads in the country aggregate ap-
proximately $4,000 100000.
The railroads variously contend
for an aggregate of from five to
twenty billions more.
Under the 6 per cent guarantee
of the 1920 act, an III reased valua-
ton of this size would amount to
increased rate to bring in from three
to twelve hundred millions a year.

On July oath, the President pro-
claimed effective the Kellogg treaty
for the remuneration of war and con-
graduated the whole world upon this
additional instrument of human en-
deavor for the sake of peace" -
The ceremonies which attended the
PRONUNCIATION of the pact were of i'm
posing simplicity. President Hoover,
former President Coolidge, Mr.. Kel-
logg and the diplomatic representa-
tives of all but two Of the nations
that have become parties to the past
were gathered in the East Room of
the White House. Mr.. Hoover deliv-
cred a short address. He asked the
diplomats to convey to their govern
ments the appreciation of the United
States that through their cordial col
laboration an act so suspicious for
the future happiness of mankind" had
been brought to consummation. And
the President expressed his opinion of
the importance of the hour-and era
thus: II dare predict that the in
fiuence of the treaty for the renun-
citation of war will be felt in a large
proportion Of all future international
facts. The magnificent opportunities
and the compelling duty now open to
us should spur us on to the fulfllment
of every opportunity that is calculated
to implement this treaty and to eX-
tend the policy which it so nobly sets
forth"
Special mention was made of the
part France had played in the making
of the pact and of the work of Mr..
Kellogg. The articles constituting the
treaty were read "to the end that ev-
cry article and clause thereof may be
observed and fulfilled with good faith
by the citizens of the United States
and the citizens thereof" the procla-
nation made proclaiming the treaty to
the people; the fifteen signatory pow
ers named, the thirty-one other coun-
tries (which have deposited with the
United States instruments evidencing
their definite adherence to the treaty"
The President understood the ephoc-
making significance of the hour.
"This," he said, sis proposal to the
conscience and ideals of civilized ma
tions. 1t suggested a new step in in
ternational law. 1t represented a
platform from which there is instant
appeal to the public opinion of the
world as to specific acts and deeds. "
