WALKKK U. HINLS, JVork more Produce more Save more But we can't continue increasing our production unless we continue increasing our railroad facilities. The farms, mines and factories cannot increase their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products. Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity. Without railroad expansion more en gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter minals there can be little increase in production. But this country of ours is going to keep right on growing and the railroads must grow with it. To command in the investment markets the flow of new capital to expand railroad facilities and so increase production there must be public confidence in the future earning power of railroads. The nation's business can grow only as fast as the railroads grow. c7. adwlbcment i& piibusicd by (he (b$ociat(oa of&aihiHuj "(sxecuti vcL Thau (Iniriiiy Mormalion emetminf the railrmul jilu atwntit ublain liltralun hy icrilinii lo the Anuria turn of Haduai) Envulim, II Bruaduuij, Sew ivrk.
