TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 1927 N. P, VALUATION 100 HIGH, SAYS STATE BOARD| Engineers Are Making Effort to Obtain Reduction of I. C. C. Figures Preparations for an attempt to ob- fin reduction of the valuation of the rthern Pacific railroad as made by Interstate Commerce Commission Seing made by engineers for the itatg railroad board. Engineers for the Interstate Com- merce Commission valued the North- rn Pacific property for rate-mal | purpéses at $417,217,965, i he going value of working capital. The value of the railroad’s prop- rty in North Dakota was placed at $4,997,010, not including $5, 29 of North’ Dakota land owned by the ‘ailroad. The valuation was made as f June 30, 1917, under an act of ongress demanding that the value of the railroad properties of the na- ion be ascertained and rates fixed accordingly. kailroaa hoard engineers have gone r the holdings of the railroad in forth Dakota and have prepared sev- eral volumes of data intended to how that the figure fixed by the federal body is too high. The work has taken over a year and data massed to date would weigh several pounds in its typewritten form. The Northern Pacific also is ex- pected to contest the findings of the interstate Commerce Commission, holding that the valuation is too low. My; for the final hearing by the 1 body has not yet been fixed, V$luation for the Great Northern ‘ailroad was ed over a year ago ind an appeal taken by the railroad now is pending in the United States upreme court, engineers of the state board said.

ROBERTS From the Monthly Bank Letter for March Issued by The National City Bank of New Yo-k February brought further gains in the general level of industry and trade. While operations in some lines are below the exceptionally high levels of a year ago, judged by ordinary standards, business in the aggregate continues very satisfactory and the Present trend is upward. Iron and stee! production and the manufacture of automobiles have been slow to get back to full time, The volume of new building projects is running under a year ago and whole- sale and retail distribution is some- what more irregular than has been the} case at the season in previous years. Mail order sales recently have shown} losses compared with the year pre- vious for the first time since 1924. i Although superficially, many" of these factors seem to reflect the bé- ginnings of a period of recession, business has strong supporting in- fluences in its favor. The absenceyof large stocks along thé channels “of and distribution con- tinues to give assurance that buying must Le maintained to care for the needs of consumption, With bagk re- serves augumented by $60,000, of; net gold imports since the first of the year and with the volume of Fed- eral reserve credit outstanding the lowest in over two years, money condi- tions are more favorable to business than in previous months, ‘The lumber bussiness has been slow] to get under w: dd production, ship- ments and orders are running below last year.

The President's opinion of it was well known, and there was no reason to suppose that he would not stand by it. The President is an independent part of the law-making power, charged by the constitution with the duty of passing honest judg- ment upon the legislation laid before him for approval. 1f President Cool- idge had given his approval to this measure after his repeated expressions of disapproval, the people of this coun- try would. have been obliged to re- vise the opinion of him which was behind the great vote given him in 1924. There is no reason to think that the menacing character of much of the pressure which was brought to) bear on him by the advocates of the bill had any influence one way or the other. He has simply reaffirmed his position with a very cogent and thor- ough discussion. He believed the measure to be un- constitutional for several reasons and presents the opinion of the Attorney-| General in support of this view, but) instead of evading his own duty to- ward it by passing it on to the Courts to receive the coup de grace, he chose to veto it upon the broad grounds that it would prove impracticable in operation, and that instead of bene- fiting agriculture it would work great This is a position which the advocates of the measure have seemed unable to com- prehend, although most of them ad- mit that they are not clear in their own minds as to what the effects would be. Congressman Haugen, co- author of the bill, in his speech of exposition in the House, called it an experiment, and there is good basis for the opinion that a majority of the members of both Senate and House are unconvinced as to its merits. A majority was registered against a bill of practically the same terms by the same membership only a few months ago, and the change is accounted for by the plea that something should be done for the farmers and that this experiment had best be tried, to sat- isfy them. If there was any guaranty that the scheme would not prove harmful the plea to give it a trial would have | weight, but one who believes that i evident from the continued! would make the farm situation worse) offerings in fair “sized from i blocks titutions, banks and private > throughout the coun- inquirs try.

A} policy he thoroughly believed would be harm-/ ful to the very people said to be in dire need of help. Violates Fundamental Principles The bill was hopeless as a relief measure because it violated iunda- mental principles, It was an attempt to cure a surplus by subsidizing it, to maintain the status quo in production in the face of evidence that there was need for readjustments. Its advocates created a strong presumption against their own arguments by stressing cer- tain price-fixing experiments of other countries, which in fact do not sup-! port this plan, ‘All experience has/ shown that price regulation inevitably fails unless accompanied by produc- tion-control, which is not provided for in this measure. It requires no pro- found knowledge of economics to con- vince a practical person that if any Product is produced in excess of the demand for it, so that an increasing surplus is carried over from one crop year to another, the Government can- not continue to buy the surplus in- definitely. It will pile up in the visible supply, and eventually the. policy will have to be abandoned. Two-thirds of a normal crop of cot- ton will be carried over from the present crop year into the next, and who will ventura to say that the es- tablishment of a Government Board to fix the price, backed by the United States Treasury, would not enhance: the prospect of a still larger carry- over next year? The Feed Grains Corn is low in price because the visible supply is high in comparison with all past years. There must be less production or increased consump- tion in order to correct this situation, and the same influence has been con- trolling the price of oats. A recent statement issued by C. S. Holmes, head of the Department of Agricul- tural Economics of the Iowa State Agricultural College, discusses the subject so clearly that it ought to be circulated together with the Presi- dent’s veto message. A summary is given below. After saying that hog supplies will remain light and pzices good for the near future and that) cattle are just entering a rising cycle; of prices to continue for a period of| years the condensed report says: | The outlook for corn and onts prices for the next few vears is not so god. | Oats acreage in the United States has} been increased by 4,009,000 acres since 1920, in spite of a lessened demand owing to decrease in horse population. and in the face of falling values. It is predicted oats values will continue to decline, unless acrenge is reduced. | Corn vaiues have been unfavorably in- | luenced by oats prices, and the same| ‘} of higher prices will be require big influence in the corn supply and that is being actually felt is due to the advance in the knowledge of feeding and the gr efficiency in the production of beet and other animal products. It is pointed out that the old ways of feeding requiring 11 of 12 bus. of corn to produce 100 Ibs. giving way to a s: 100 ibs. hog live en bushels of com or less. This em increases hog profits, of course, but lessens the requiremente for corn, and hence tends to lower corn prices and indirectly, oats prices, To quite an extent al feeds of protein and mineral ingredients have lessened grain requirements fur Production of beef, dairy and pouliry Products, mutton and wool. Then it le believed acre yields of corn that huve shown increasing tendencies for a num. ber of years will remain on @ per- manent higher basis than formerly, on agi Sef Varieties, increasing atten- ion to soil improvem: methods of culture, nt nd Better While tle cash price outlook for feed graine in the near future is not promi ing for those selling gi as such, for those who convert the grain into pork, beef or other finished animal product the outlook is bright. ‘ The prediction that cattle are ente ing upon a period of rising valuce based on the live stock census of tl United States department of agriculture showing that the cattle population. of the country is smaller than for many years. Moreover, steers and yearlings of the ranges und breeding grounds have been culled closer than at any time in the part. so that the small cattle popu. lation also averages lighter in. weight Perhaps that at any previous time. “It is pointed out that cattle supplies rise and fall throush long periods of years, er cycles, and since the supplies have decreased to n low bs, a long period ‘d to again and start the pen- inging in the oppo- weight for increase the supplies dulum of prices swi site direction Doctor Holmes expects no more spring pis to be farrowed in the corn belt, where the bulk of the hogs are produced, were farrowed in the spring of 1926, and in this he is in agreement with the United States de- partment of :griculture's outlook r yet. He predicts fewer hogs will goto market the first six months of 1927 than ‘or the same period of 1926. Under chese conditions the price outlook for ioge is considered bright for all of 1927 and into 1926. The statement does not mention the McNary-Haugen hill, but the analysis of the situation is totally different from that given by the advocates of the bill. It indicates that the issue is not between the East and the West, but between the Iowa College of Agri- culture and the Towa delegation in | Congress. The rest of the country is led to take sides as 1t chooses, The farmers will be able to decide for themselves whether or not che statements as to th» declining con- sumption of corn and oats are true or ot, and if trie whether it is not det- ter policy to adapt farming operations to the conciti than to look to che Government to support them in a of ignoring actual conditions. lontevideo, Uruguay, March 15.—(AP)—Commander Frances- co De Pinedo, Italian aviator, who is\engaged in a flight from Italy through South and North America and return, left Monte- video this morning for Asuncion, guay. gambling wide open in Nevada, Drayton Girl Kills Self at Grand Forks East Gvand Forks, Minn., March 15—(@)—Vera Wilmer, ear-old girl, died here late Monday night from poisoning.
