Both drys and wets are said to be satisfied with the personnel, which for distinguished names it would be difficult to surpass, espe- cally when a “broad, unprejudiced view" s taken to be the chiet quali- fication for membership. This commission should be able to study the prohibition question as it needs to be studied, and its fnal re- port unquestonably will be a docu- ment frequently referred to by both sides in the arguments of the com- ing years. Whether the commisgsion will have a permanent influence upen the prohibition law depends greatly upon the attitude of the President and Congress toward the report to ensue in due course. The weakness of the entire investigation lles in the fact that the governmental officials and Congress is not bound to accept the tinding as final, nor even to regard it as a foundation for'such changes as may be suggested. It is merely & fact-finding commission, which will be done with its duties when the facts and perhaps some opinions about them have been marshalled. President Hoover himselt will Rave the key to the situation. If he ahould indicate a desire to modify the prehibition law—in case the commission makes the suggestion— he might have a considerable influ- ence in that direction. Yet this is nearly too much te hope for. The outlook is for another exhaustive re- port about & subject of deep moment, and then no particular action taken. | That, unfortunately, has been the frequent history of commission in- vestigations. The archives in Wash- iagton—and elsewhere—are quite heavy with their ponderous tomes. 3 o THE BILLION DOLLAR DECISION The O'Fallon railroad case, decid- ed by the U. 8. Supreme Court in faver of the railroads, involved® among other questions whether the Interstate Commerce Commission proceeded upon proper theories in computing the valuation of the rail- roads. Before this cause celebre ar- rived upon the horizon the Supreme | Court held that the valuation orders of the I. C. C. were not subject to review (U. 8. vs. Kansas City South- ern, decided Nov. 28, 1927), for the reason that such orders do not re- quire the railroads to do or to re- frain from doing some specific act. but are mere findings or conclusions | of evidencé obtained at investiga- tions. In the O'Fallon case, however, recapture orders were involved, put- ting the railroad in the position to claim that the valuation underly- ing the recapture order was incor- rect. On this basis the court ruled that “all factors” must be consider- ed in arriving at a recapture order, | and this necessarily must include the | valuation placed upon the property | by the Commission. | This decision vitally affects the valuation work of the 1. C. C., which | already has taken more than 15| years of effort and is not yet com- | pleted. The task has been monu- mental; more than $30,000,000 has' been expended in the work, while | the railroads have expended more than $100,000,000 in the work. The work proceeded to such dimensions | before the railroads had a definite opportunity to attack the method of | valuation. From the first they have been dissatisfied with the Commis- sion's valuations, and in 1923 made | the first attempt to wrest a viclory out of the courts (San Pedro, Los | Angeles & Salt Lake R. R. Co. vs. L C. C). But the Supreme Court ruled that the valuation of the Com- mission had not been used as a hasis for rate making and that the rail- road had not suffered an injury. From there the court fight veered to the Kansas City Southern. The main case, however, O'Fallon, and in this the railroads were repre- was the The recapture provisions of the Transportation Act apperently have worked no hardship on the railroads, due pehaps in large measure to the considerable liberty exercised in al- lowing them to co-operate in dete: mining a “fair value” of their pro. perties. It is significant that such railroads as the New York Ceatral, B. & 0, C. & O. and other incon- testable prosperous lines have never paid excess earnings to the Commis- sion (50 per cent over 6 per cent of their valuation). Such payments made, curiously enough, have been by & number of comparatively small railroads. How important the O'Fallon de- cision happens to be in the economic life of the country—both in regards to railroads and all other public utilities, for the same principle ‘will apply to the latter as well as the ° |former—it is only necessary to re- fer to what experts have said of the - | potentialities. The New York Journal of Commerce stated that if the ap- plication-of such reproduction rules were applied the railroads would be deemed worth $33,000,000,000; and L C. C. Commissioner Eastman was quoted as saying that “in the case of privately owned railroads €nd utili- ties the current cost of reproduction doctrine would probably increase the public burden by upwards of $30,- 000,000,000.” Senator Norris, com- menting on the case, was quoted as saying the decision if favorable to the railroads would entitle them to increase their freight and passenger rates to yield an additional $600,- 000,000 annually. And the I. C. C., in arguing against the railroads, stated that if the reproduction cost method had been used as a basis for rate-making in 1920 the rallroads would have been entitled to rate in- creases of 75 per cent, whereas the actual increases were from 25 to 40 per cent, The Interstate commerce Act of 1887, which established the Com- mission, declared that *all charges .+« « must be just and reasonable.” Soon the question arose as to what charges qualified in this manner. Now we have progressed to the point where reproduction costs are a vital factor in determining such rates. What next? Will the railroads try to get passenger and freight rates based on reproduction costs, or will their never fail them? Or, can they hope to do 80 in face of the competi- tion of other transportation facili- ties? We believe the latter will be the most important deterrent. But in the case of other utilities, those possessing monopolies and vhich we must have, what is the outlook? The decision, witheut a doubt, will have far-reaching conse- quences in the economic life of the nation. PERILS OF ARITHMETIC A most illuminating survey of elementary education was made by Dr. A. O. Bowden, of Teachers' College, Columbia. The survey indi- cated that 85 per cent of the arith- metic and mathematics taught in the schools did pupils no permanent g00d; that it was the most difficult of the subjects taught; that it was the most prolific source of failures in sudies; and that it was shown be- yond & doubt that the average adult needed only 15 per cent of the arithmetic taught in order to qualify as an intelligent master of figuring required by our complex civilization. Dr. Bowden, noting the pre- ponderating character of the arith- metical problems given to puplls to solve, concludes they lack practical application to life. much educational time is wasted by stuffing the minds of pupils with problems and how to solve them which could be devoted to subjects that would stick in their craniums after they were put there, We are inclined to agree. Intricate figuring is difficult and laborious. In these days of multiplying and similar machines, of specialists who go through the books with lightning speed, and universal As a result adding, subtracting. reliance upon such mechanisms and experts to attend to the figures, there is a growing disinclination by igures interfere with his easy-going abits.

HARD LUCK IN TENNESSEE Prosperity such as that which sented by the most talented battery came {o Elizabethton, Tenn., such as he made one of his spesches there during the campaign, seems te be badly mized. As we understeed it at the time, the introduction of indus- try into a hitherto backward com- munity and district populated es- clusively by meuntaineers whe for generations heard and cared little abeut the outside world, wn‘Id uplift them into the seventh heaven of citizenship. The natives were to be made over, and polished inte mod- ern buman beings with wants snd desires to be satisfied; and for the first time they were to eara enough to satisfy the hopes and aspirations of civilized human beings. What has happened, however, is something entirely different. Instead of prosperity there seems to be a goodly portion of the mill hands who can't find it. Those who are atill at work are sullen and perhaps dis- enchanted; the remainder out eon strike are giving much trouble te the state police and the troops The effort at official bulldezing is self- evident; both sides are in a meed that, in the long run, cannot bode much good for industry in Ten- neasee. This huge German firm witheut & doubt was attracted to Tennesses largely on account of the potential reservoir of cheap laber, rather than because of the excellent water power, as had at first been the burden of the ballyhoo. This reservoir of labor evidently hasn’t turned out to be as had been anticipated. Instead of lpomlng an army of contented “native American” labor at low prices, the company—as well as other affected concerns in the 8éuth —find themselves possesaed of untold labor difficulties and & future that by no means looks as bright as it did A year or s0 ago. This has been seme time in com- ing to the South, but it was inevit- able. The native mountaineer fami- lies may be slow to anger, but when they get started a mad bul is a so- cial lion in comparison. A PROHIBITION NEWSPAPER Declaring that mest of the news- papers in the large cities are “wet," a Mid-Western bishop in the Metho- dist Episcopal church has stated that it ought to be the object of his church to provide a first-rate daily national newspaper which would handle the prohibition question with dry gloves. Weekly publications for this pur- pose, he declared, are not efficient; “they are too slow.” To fight Demon Rum with fire, he indicatgd, it would be necessary to be in & posi- tion to return the barrage of argu- ment promptly, net wait a wéek or two, or a menth, before being able to deliver blows in kind. It any denominatibn wishes to sfart a national or international daily newspaper, that, of course, is its own business. One such daily paper already exists—the Christian policy and ably edited. The Methodist plan is said to be to invest frem $20,000,000 up; which | they happen, or i the average cultured person to let | himself to seec if the bank made a | would provide a large newspaper. It being a rich denominatien, we hi no doubt it could de thia if it set its mind to the purpese. But such a newspaper would certainly not be in competition with the press already established in every city, which dis- tributes news collected from all parts of the world a few hours after it has happened. In the modern sense, that is the meaning of news. We live in a fast age, and the people have be- come accustomed to reading all about impertant occurrences the day at most the next morning—not later than that, As for the plan to more thorough- ly present the prohibition angle, we doubt whether this would amount to much. Public sentiment is not chang- ed in that fashion. As a rule, the newspapers are wet where the pre- ponderating sentiment is wet; and they are dry where the preponder- ating sentiment is dry. Mark 8ullivan a few weeks ago wrote a piece in which he said he makes it a practice to send all over copies for of newspapers, subscribing ten days at a time to various newspapers in a dozen cities, and at the end of that time switching to other newspapers in other cities; and he also included many newspapers in the smaller cities to his subscription list. The net result, he reported, was a fair view of journalistic conditions {throughout the country. These he ‘Paid he found about like this: In the ;hl‘ cities along the Atlantic sca- poard the newspapers were mostly very wet: in most of the big cities in \the interior they also were wet, but {there were notable exceptions; and child attending the schools gives a | most of the smaller papers were dry. | The weeklies are invariably dry. The journalistic lineup in the coun- means one-sided. There are valiant dry papers who fight like wild cats fo rthe cause; and there are some large ones in this category, such as the Kansas City Star and the Spring- | fleld Republican—not counting these which were dry during the recent political campaign and are invariably wet hetween campaigns.

The weeklies, which In th ‘West particularly remain a strong element in journalism and are'care- fully read because sverybedy knows the editor personally and are filled with local news contalning the names of half the residents of a town in every issue, are dry nearly unanj- mously. p The Methodist bishop, we think, credits the big metropolitan papers with mere influence than they real. ly possess. To show such influence lot them begin winning a few elections in their cities of publication—some- thing which the best of them long ago have failed to do except at in- tervals and by accident. The masaes in the big cities and in many of the smaller cities are wet, | ot because they read “the wet side” in the newspapers, but because they were that way from the start, always will be that way, and no amount of Jjournaligtic endeavor could change thelr attitude. It must be confessed that con- gressmen in Washington, as & rule, are wiser than the bishop on this question. Their record shows that they pay much more attention to the small papers. If they didn't do that they wouldn't be so consistently dry. Facts and Fancies Few methods of farm relief com- pare with a good job in town.
