Rail Valuation More than ten years ago congress passed a lav requiring the interstate commer commission to ascertain the physical valuation of the railroads of the country, for the purpose of determining whether the rates for transportation were just and fair, in view of the real yalue of the carriers what is invested and for what the properties might be replaced. To carry en the work the commission cre- ated a bureau of valuation and has issued from time to time some twenty-three orders requiring the carriers to furnish certain information and data—very voluminous. The act required the carriers to co-operaté with the commission. Up to date the government has spent searly $25,000,000 while the carriers have spent nearly ,000,000—a total of approximately $100,000,000. This work of valuation has been in progress more than term years ond is not yet completed t e }act present-day 217% a bill which would nullify the registration of vot- ters unless they managed to show.up at the polls at least once in two years. The ‘idea is that by t When it will be, the commission is unable to} state. Last year congress gave the commission $1,250,- 000 for the work of valuation. This year $1,000,- 000 has been allotted by the budget burcau. The commission says in its recent report: “Most of the primary valuations are already from six to ten years old. In administering the} uations are needed, but be-} be had, primary valuations must completed to serve as bases for carr: fore they can uluations forward. There is serious ¢ » in the lapse of so many years between imary and the present-day valuation.” The commission estimates it will require $4,- 148,000 to complete the work within two years. | It is estimated that the carriers owe the Unit- States $70,000,000 in the segtlement of | vccounts after the World War and also in the} application of the lled “recapture” of one half of the net oper: g income in excess ¢f six} per cent. These sums cannot be collected until} the valuation the properties are so ascer. | tained. The budget bureau has been asked to increase | the appropriation for the work of yaluation this | | ed some r to $2,369,000. interstate commerce commission has given the carriers a tentative valuation of approxi- mately $19,000,000,000, Ttis expected that a com- pletion of the wofk of uation will increase the real value to approximately $20,000,000,000. This 1 what the carriers claimed | 1 Farm Prosperity The war finance corporation revived to assist | the farmers says this in its annual report: “Most of the important farming districts are in bet-| r shape ti f been fer several years. | Bank deposits have increased, bunk resereves are | being restored, business has greatly improved and the farmer: lly are making excellent | progress in cleaning up the burden of inflebted: ness under which they have been laboring, and| in strengthening their economic positions.” | However, rding to the corporation, condi- tions among the cattle growers is not entirely satisfactory, but improving. | In the year ending November 30, loans to the amount 1,240,000 have been extended the cattle yy the finance corporation. This is below the amount advanced the year before. November 80, last, the loans on the books of » war finance corporation amounted to $62,- 000, of which $16,975,000 was for war loans and $45,648,000 was for agricultural and live stock purposes raisers | \ at he capital stock of the war finance corpora- | tion amounts to $500,000,000 and is all owned by the federal government. When its affairs are wound up, it is predicted that the net earnings will be sufficient to pay for all the money ad- vanced by the government, besides paying back the original $500,000,000.
