The want of this information is a serious handicap in the proper consideration and dispositon of the instant case. There is before us nothing whatsoever upon which we could with any degree of confidence arrive at an approximation of the value of the property devoted to the public use and upon which these carriers are entitled to a fair return and to which the lake-cargo coal traffic should make its fair and just contribution. To be sure we have before us figures representing the aggregate outstanding bonds and stocks, but it is well understood that the total capitalization of a carrier is not necessarily a correct measure of the value of the property devoted by it to the public use, nor in many instances even a fair indication of what the value of such property might be. A compilation showing the comparative growth of capitalization and of traffic for all the railways in the United States reflects a gradual tendency toward a decrease in capital charges as the...

These diaries present fragments from a remarkable life: the immigrant boy who became a counselor to presidents and a shaping force in the evolution of our Constitution into a twentieth-century instrument. As Henry L. Stimson noted, Felix Frankfurter had a talent "for keeping in touch with the center of things." The life of his times at the level of decision and policy, the human tensions elicited by the possession of power pulse through the pages of his diaries. There are fascinating glimpses, from the inside, of the Taft administration, of Roosevelt's Washington during World War II, and of the early years of the Truman presidency.
