Washington, June Indications are that Congress will past, over the protest of the Democrat Mid Pro gressives, a railroad regulation bill that will not provide for a physical valuation of railroad!. I The millionaire colony of the Sen ate, eome of the members of which own stock in railroads, f ought des perately to kill every physical valu ation amendment proposed. - '- A physical valuation would expose 4t. Mniitn tfcn mrtant tn nrhinh railroad stocks have been watered, and would, therefore, tend to pre vent over-capitalization in the future ulMM:t.iw ih for reasonable freight passenger rates. "Thii is .why the railroad fear it. ..- The Interstate Commerce -Com- mission, partisan Republican in make-up, has reoommended physi cal valuation year after year. The commisaion, in it .last annual re port, somewhat hopelessly, says: "The commission has, in - previous reports, expressed ' the ' opinion '- that it would be wise for Congress to make provision for a physical valua tion of railroad properties, and . de sires to reaffirm in this report its confidence in the wisdom of - such a measure." Aphysicial valuation was commend ed by Roosevelt time and again. This is at least onejof -Roosevelt's policy that Mr. Taft has deserted cold-bloodedly. The President bas raised neither voice nor pen on be half of physical valuation. . Yet the Supreme court, in the Nebraska rate case, held that "the basis of all calculation as. to ;the reasonableness of rates must be the fair valne of the property being used for the convenience of the pub lic." As the interstate commercs commission does not know the value of a single railroad, it must fix . rea sonable rates by sheer guesswork. Preif dent'a BUI la Not ProfreattTe. . As progressive legisla! ion, a rail road regulation bill without a pro vision for physical valuation, is a farce. The national democrat p atfprm of 1908 declared for "efficient super vision and rate regulation of. rail roads" and to that end strongly recommended the taking of physical valuation. But when it iB considered that Harriman contributed $260,000 to the Republican campaign fund on behalf of the railroads, that probab ly numerous other railroad mag nates advanced equally large sums, and that the very bill Congress is .vA. nlima . nnnn thn niatntn auvub w . books was originally drawn in New York and submitted to the railroad interests before being introduced in Congress, it is not so strange that physical valuation amendments re ceived their death stabs even after being passed by a goodly majority in the House of Representatives. Oh, American people, yon must be more vigilant than you are if you would continue to deserve the name of a patriotic people! Who Mr. Ttft'i Tlilton In. , Republican senators who most frequently visit the White Iiouse are: Aldrich of Rhode Island, ac knowledged congressional represen tative of Wall street.

Taft, the President's brother, were formerly members of the law firm of Strong & Cadwallader; that for legal services rendered the theiving sugar trust Brother Henry received $26,750; that this snm was turned over to Strong & Cadwallader, pnd that Wickersham drew down and pocketed his share of the tee with out physical remonstrance. . "Wickersham, former sngar trust attorney," is, therefore, a legitimate appellation for the Attorney General of the United States, who advises that there be no congressional inves tigation of the sugar trust because it might give "immunity" to the "higher up'Bl" Selah!
