LENGTHEN SEASON ‘The Western Conterence faculty committee has voted to increase the 1923 football season fgom seven to eight games. in @ McClain special, was GREAT NORTHERN VALUATION SHOWS NO “WATER” In response to assertions that railroad stocks were waterod and that the Invest- ments recorded in the companies’ books were inflated, Congress, in 1913, by the La Foliet*e Act, directed the Interstate Commerce Commission to determine, among other things, the cost of reproduction new, cost of reproduction fess depreciation, and the value’of the various railronds in the United States. The corporate assets of the Great Northern Company consists of two classes of property: One is the physical property used for transportation purposes and located in the United States; the other consists of investments in stocks and bonds of other companies, including lines located in Canada, and other miscellaneous property used for non-carrier purposes. ‘The Interstate Commerce Commission recently has com- pleted its tentative valuation of the first of these, that is, the physical property used for transportation purposes and located in the United States. It has not valued the second class of property because not required to do so by the terms of the Act. The value as found by the Commission for Great Northern properties used for transportation purposes and located in the United States as of June 30, 1915, was as follows; Total Total owned ‘ used. 396,963,655.00 In arriving at these figures, the Interstate Commerce | Commission deducted $65,140,474.00 from the cost of reproduction new on account of assumed depreciation. The Company, of course, contends that the depreciation of certain parts of the prop- erty, such as the ageing of its roadbed, is more than offset by the appreciation of the property as a whole, as it is well known that a railroad property in use for several years is better and worth more for transportation purposes than a newly built property. Included in the second class of property and not valued by the commission is; 604 miles of railroad in Canada, Nearly 49 per cent of the stock of the Chicago, Burlihgton & Quincy Railroad. One-half of the stock of the Spokane, Portland & Railway. Also the stocks of some other smaller railway companies, and the stocks of coal, lumber, land and other subsidiary corporations. investment in securities not valued by the Commission amounts to 076,312.83. Other property not used for transportation purpases amotints to $24,315,418,31, so that the Commission's value on the first class of property, plus the value of the second class of property, which the Commission did not value, amounts to $643,132,033.14, Since the valuation dato, June 30, 1915, there has been added $82,269,790.52, which brings the total value of Great Northern property to January 1, 1923, up to $ 91,823.66. The total par value of stocks and bonds of the Great Northern as of January 1, 1923, was $540,078,319.04, showing an excess of $184,419,604.62 of value above the total capitalization.
