Uureasomiaiie Freight ' tiaste. Chicago Tribune. The Nebraska Boa of lalroa Commissioners - sloner recently und.ertook to ! prescribe "reasonnble rates" of freight to be charged by the raIlroads of that sta te. The railroads appealed to the courts und obtained from JUdge Brewer a decision In their favor. He has alrmed the right oC the commissioners to regulate rates . hut ruled that "reasonable rates" must be rates b3sed on the capitalized value of the lines. not on the cost of con- struction. He Is quoted as saying : "If 1 road cost ' 2,0 1 mile to build and Is stocked amid bonded for $ ; 0,0 a mile its freight rates may e base upon Its capitalization - talzaton , not Its cost , and' courts must still construe them as rpasonnble. " So. according 'to Judge Brewer. If a railroad - road Is capitalized at twice Its actual value , the . bonds having been made 10 pay all the , cost of construction and equl\llnt. while the stock was nbsorbed by men who paid nothIng for I except the smal amount expended , In the excel lary 0lal17ton of the CJmpan\ . , Ills "fnlr IUd reaspmibi2" for them charge rates which wIll pay full dividends on that waler-sloclt In addItion to interest on the hands. According to him It Is just and right to make the net income twice as much lS would have tem reasonhle had the line been hone'ty built and honestly managed , with due reference to the rights of the pOplo ns veIl ns of the men who hold the securities.
