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.
Shippers arc to be made to pa ) ' several cents
per 10) pounds extra on all the freight they
send by rail In order that a lot of sharks may . .
collect "divIdends" to whIch they have no
moral right and to which they ought not to
have any right In law 'lhe two \ilons or
more of water In the railroad slacks of the
United States , and another large amount In
bonds that equal ) ' arc "water " Is 10I I
source of revenue placed on n par with the
securities that were pnll , fOr with the money
ulod to build and equip the lines ngnlnsl
which they were issued . This water revenue
Is to be squeezed out of the producerI. most
of whom nlreal ) ' are receiving tor their
produce prices that do not pay a HuOclent
return for the coat of raisIng the crops.
