: . RAILROADS i
Ezra Brainerd Jr., chaiiinan of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, recently said that our desire for faster and
mbre flexible transportation service must not lead us "to
destroy our existing transportation systems in which an
immense amount of permanent capital is invested, and which
' must, so far as can be discerned, continue to carry the bulk
of our basic commodities."
'' He insists that the readjustment of our transportation
facilities should be made with the least possible economic
waste. And Mr. Brainerd is worth heeding, for hp heads
the body whose duty it is to regulate the railroads in the
interest of the public.
In many localities enthusiasm over waterways, bus and
truck lines has been allowed to exceed the bounds of common
sense and economic soundness. A number of superficial
thinkers (if they may be called thinkers at all) have pro
claimed that the railroads constitute an outmoded form of
transportation which is doomed by the newer, faster methods,
r; As a matter of fact, however, the railroads still carry the
bulk of freight traffic and undoubtedly will continue to do
so for a long time. Moreover, they are one of the nation's
greatest sources of tax money, employers of capital, and
purchasers of raw material.
' )We have not treated the railroads fairly in allowing the
various competing forms of transportation to go their happy
way unregulated, or only half-rcgula,ted, and in some cases
even subsidized by the government. ... Americans, have paid
"huge sums for the purpose of dredging river channels, canals,
bays, and harbors for the free use of steamer and barge
, lines. - They have, also invested millions in hard-surfaced
; highways, which truck and bus lines use by payjng only
comparatively small license and gasoline taxes. Why
.shouldn't the government do the same for the railroads, and
maintain their tracks and rights-of-way for them?
Continuation of this one-sided policy will eventually ruin
'the railroads, in which millions of citizens have invested
their money, and the public will bo left with sadly inadequate
transportation facilities.
;. Will we never learn that every form of transportation
'must be made to stand on its own feet or go out of business
j and that every system should be operated on exactly the
isame basis so far as taxation and regulation are concerned,?
That is the goal we must achieve if wo are to solve ouV
perplexing transportation problem. ' J

MONEY FOR SANTA
Chiustmna savings chilis throughout the United Slates will
shortly send to twelve million persons checks totalling $000,
000,000 and averaging $50 per person! Hero is more than
a half billion dollars that men, women, and children have laid
away during the past fifty week.
What does that vast fund represent? For tho vast ma
jority it means the pleasure of Christmas buying and giving:,
though to some it w(ill be the means of paving off interest,
taxes, and insurance premiums. It will mea'n a great volume
of business to merchants and manufacturers, and the putting
into circulation of that amount of money will act as a power
ful stimulus to tho holiday trade and business in general.
Moreover, these thrifty folks who have been setting aside
a portion of their incomes during the past year will find
that each dollar will now go much farther than it ever could
before. 1 rices on most articles are lower than anyone ex-
ji-ieu . uiyy wouin go, ana now is the time to buy. The stores
are oifenng almost unbelievable bargains in every line
We have no fault to find with installment buviiig, if'it is
held within reasonable limits, but Christmas savings clubs
provide u much better plan. The weekly or monthly deposits
at the bank represent installments on purchases to be made
at the end of the year, and all tho worry is eliminated.
Twelve million Christmas club members mean twelve million
persons who have learned the very best method of install
ment buying ever devised.
