Brandeis Points Out Benefits of the
LaFollette Act in Ascertaining
the Value of Railroad
Property
HIE LAW NEEDS TO
BE SUPPLEI.IENTED
Federal Bureau of Railroad Costs
is Advocated and Interlocking
Directorates Should be
Abolished
Telegram by United Press.
Boston Mass. April 4. Louis ')
Brandeis the "people's lawyer" wmj
once declared he could gave the rail-
roads of the country millions or doi-
lars every day in a statement written
for the United Press today champion-
ed Senator La Follette'a act providing
for the physical valuation of railroads
by the interstate commerct. commis-
sion. He insisted that before the peo
ple can know- whether the money they
pay to railroads is honestly and neces
sarily spent interlocking directorates
must be abolished and a federal bu-
reau and of railroad costs established.
Mr. Brandeis charges that J. P. Mor-
gan & Company and other bankers
have a monopoly of Belling to many
railroads the money they need at rate
of the bankers' own fixing.
BY LOUIS D. BRANDEIS.
The La Follette act providing for the
physical valuation of railroads by the
interstate commerce commission is a
great step forward. The senator's
seven year fight has been nobly won.
The act Is but another Application of
La Follette's favorite motto "Ye 6ha!l
know the truth and the truth shall
make you free."
Everybody admits that the value of
railroad property la one of the ele-
ments to be taken into consideration
by the interstate commerce commis-
sion in fixing rates and everybody his
been obliged to admit that the com-
mission was without reliable data bear-
ing upon this value. Under the La Fol-
lette act the public will at least b
furnished with the best evidence of
value available.
But there is more truth which must
be known before La Follettp'o task of
securing to the people just railroad
rates is completed. To secure just
and reasonable rates other sIcom must
be taken. We must know besides th t
actual value of railroad property tiie
actual cost of operation and the cost
of current construct ion and of ie-w
eqoipment. The railroad reports sivj
us now a statement of what they spend
each year; but the public has no means
of knowing whether this amount ha-s
been well spent.
In the calendar year 1312 the rail-
roads collected from the American peo-
ple in gross earning. $;io ."778:!27
most of which has been spent in sorrt.j
way. About one third of that amount
has gone in interest and dividends ami
taxes. The physical valuation would
help us to know what part of that In-
terest and dividend is paid on capital
which is water. About two thirds off
the year's revenues is paid out for op-
erating expenses. I: is at least equal?
important to know what part of thus
revenue lias been spent unnecessarily;
what part has been wasted through dis-
honesty and what part through Inef-
ficiency. Besides the $2i)ni'0iM)0'iO of
current revenues spent in operation '
there are each year expended hundreds
of millions in new construction or the
purchase of equipment. What part of
the money spent for new construetbii
or equipment is efficiently and honei-
ly spent? Until we know all this wo
cannot know whether rates are jut
and reasonable.
The fact that a railroad company
has paid out money lias ceased to he
assurance that it was necessarily pail
out. Interlocking directorates may
have led to he making of many con-
tracts tinnect" larily burdensome to 'he
railroads for on .many. of our railroad
interlocking directorates control
large part of the expenditure.
J. P. Morgan & Co. ami other bank-
ers have a monopoly of se!Iiu.g munv
railroad the iiyoiiey they need at. rate
of the bankers' own fixing. Director
