Uorn hu h jndgnieiit. Under such
conditions the cost of trai sportation is
' of far less importance than the question
of securing the facilities needed. We
already have by far the cheapest rail
road freight, rates in the world rates
that are the marvel of the people of
European 'countiies. What we need
now is not low rates, freight or passen
ger, but a va t increase in facilities for
handling business. Of all the 'absurd
movements of the last 12 months in the
railroad and political worlds nothing
i lse quite equal the efforts to force
down railroad rates. It is almost
puerile in its shortsightedness. It has
cost our country billions of dollars with
out a redeeming thing to the credit
side. Money for railroad expansion
cannot possibly be had under present
conditions. Infinitely better would it
be for the whole country if the people
would reogni.e that, instead of re
ducing rates, the rai roads must be
given full authority to ' make a general
advance in rates commensurate with
tin.' increased cost of doing business.
The railroad business must be given an
opportunity to make profits large
enough to tempt capital from every
where to seek iuvtstnicnt in railroad
I securities. Men are not going to put
I their morey into such enterprises sub
' ject to the dangeis of legislation and
j they would he. foolish if they did so
; unless ths profit is great enough to
; justify such risks. To attempt to limit
the earnings to (1 per cent, or even 10
I er cent, or to any fixed amount, is
not only absurd, but economically falsi ,
for any otteinpt to limit the earnings
of legitimate business, uudei takings
will inevitably react and coA the
I county far im re than the dilferei ce
J between a fixed Income and the profit
I which might otherwise he mado. Their
ow n presirvation would necessarily te-
quire of the lailmails as favorable rates
as could lie given w it h safety for them
selves and their futnr .
Of recent vears the public SPoms to
! have come to the conclusion t a nu n
with bulging bank accounts are waiting
j eagerly for an opportunity to put
money into railroad securities, though
j the control of the railroads is taken
from them, and tuoiigli other people
who have no interest in them are given
authority to fix the rates at which they
can do business. Hie idea is Very
fallacious. The capital needed for rail
road expansion is not going to seek
railroad investment, hut railroad men
must seek the capital with diligence.
It must hi; presented in such a way as

The politicians anil the agitators, as

and meet it squarely with full lecog

until they do there can be no thorough

before tl'ey secure railroads on thee
conditions. The only possible chain e
for railroad construction on a lar;e
scale is to make investment in rnilro; d
