Senate Debates Physical Valuation Of Railroads
A heated Senate debate looms over a proposed physical valuation of railroads as an amendment to the Taft-Hartley bill. The plan, favored by supporters, would appraise real property and assets but exclude goodwill and stock values, guiding rates and fair profits. Railroads oppose, fearing lower rates and disclosure of true asset values. President Taft signals readiness to veto if essential features are altered, while he presses for passage despite opposition.
