Benton, -of the association . of rHtin,84 ' comi"issieners, sharply criUcisei the argument advanced by the carriers that any valuation of the roads found to be less than the ag gregate accounts would be' a blow to the financial centers of the world. " Consld Elements of Talne. Since when has the . commission rendered its Judgements with its face toward Wall street?" he asked, "since when has, it disregarded the law and the facts to cover , up the rottenness of any situation it "came upon in the performance of its duty? It has hereto fore discovered and exposed many shocking things, but the country still lives and the financial intact." . ; T 4 ,A11 the elements of valueN must be taken into consideration, Benton con tended, but the investment of the roacrs arJUnot to be regarded as evidence. .Congress has not given you discre tion," he told the commission, "if you know the true investment cost of the Chicago and Alton from your valuation investigation, to shut your, eyes to that element and, consider its wickedly water-soaked Investment account." Representatives .of the 'shippers gen erally concurred in the proposals of the carriers that the, "book accounts" be considered, but advised that theybe checked in the light of the other in formation available-to the commission. Expressing themselves as more con cerned with the developments of trans portation facilities to meet the needs of the country than -in- the matter of rates, the shippers confined their rec ommendation mainly to the question of the grouping of the roads for rate fix ing purposes. V Railroads Yell Poverty. "Unless the railroads are deprived of the occasion to yell "poverty,' as they have done tn the past, the only solu tion is government ownership," waB the argument of Charles E.. Cotterill, of "the southern' traffic league, in" favor of giving the railroad returns sufficient to . handled ' adequately the business of the country 'Property investment ac counts, he said; might come the closest to forming a basis for a preliminary valuation. - - He presented a( request that r the southern .freight classification, as now constituted, be continued for the" new rate adjustment. , The majority of the shippers favored the continuation of the commission's established grouping of the railroads on the ground that, the adjustment should be effected with the least disturbance to existing rate rela tions. Smaller divisions, it was ar gued, made for less flexibility.' The hearing- will be : concluded to morrow.
