The interpretation that it placed up- on the valuation sections was con* sidered to be unjust to the railroads in that the commission made its de- cisions in connection with* the regu- lation of commerce in opposition to the provision of the law. In connec- tion with the test case of the Kansas City Southern railroad the commis- sion in reaching the valuation of the road failed to take into consideration elements oI vaiue which .it was di- rected to do, since the act requires it to consider and include in the valua- tion of railrpad property . “present cost of condemnation and damages or of purchase in excess of such orig- inal cost or present value.” Naturally the decision is an portant one and bound to have its bearing upon all the roads of the country. In fact it is difficult to un- derstand what the commission did not do as it has now been directed by the supreme court of the United States to do in view of the direct provision in the law.

A doc- tor had a midnight call out into the country and on a lonely stretch of road his auto gave a cough, anather cough, and died in the middle of the road. Not until then did he think his gasoline tank was empty. It was too late. He walked a mile to the nearest farmhouse, roused a sleepy but oblig- ing farmer, borrowed a gallon of gas and hiked back a mile. Disappoint= ment continued, for his carburetor was | set for “high test” gas and he bad the other kind. ; After repeated efforts and many ad- justments he got the motor started but he had used up so much of the gaso- | line in trying to get started that after he did get ahead it was for only a | short distance, but near another farm- house, where he got the use of a tale- phone this time and called for help.

From the start the children like it; it keeps them amused and entertained and makes of them strong advocates—a part of the scheme. As they get a little older the variety Is increased and they are given. what is called instruction in recreation, physical culture, domestic science, Jim (spelled zym, 1 believe), swimming, and several other things. Between times they are being sort of railroaded through a ecourse book study, just enough to get through what is called ‘an examination, and finally they graduate with high hon- ors and receive that almost mystical thing, a diploma, which seems to en- title them to all kinds of considera- tion. The legitimate professions have no attraction for a lot of these graduates, consequently a position—something that will not soil the hands, clothes or social standing—must be provided and if there are not legitimate ones enough to be had they are manufac- tured for them, and they are sent out as instructors in the several branches, forms or fads mentioned above and fed to the new crop of younssters coming along. Numerous others are sent out to us as supervisors, ingpec- tors, illustrators, demonstrators, or- ganizers, nurses, etc. Great scheme! Well, this gang of superfiuities must be paid, and it takes a lot of money. State aid for this, that and the ether thing sounds fine, but who is the state and where does it get money to aid with? Taxes are golng up by leaps and bounds to meet conditions im- posed upon towns by the state board of education and other state boards made up of these same graduates ‘who, though they have very little ability or adaptability for any nosition of im- portance, have sense enough to realize that they must put up a bluff of earn- ing their salary, Fine scheme! It would seem as though towns were not allowed to retrench or try to econ- omize in any way even though they are burdened ‘with a heavy debt. Good teachers?
