SCIO. OREGON. JULY 28. 1921 THE RAILROAD FUTURE There is a future ahead for the railroads. as well as all things else. But what is that future to be? is a question of vital importance, the so lution of which is in the immediate future. It is an evident practica bility that a railroad must earn suf ficiently to pay for operation. In deed it muat earn more than the cost of operation, for trackage and equipment wear out and must I m * replaced. Also stockholders muat have a reasonable return on their investment in railway stocks. elm they will seek other fields In which to Invest. In the tmst. railway owners and managers have prejudiced the pro pie against them by autocratic ways and manners; by charging for pass enger and freight all the traffic will bear; by over-issuing of capital stock, etc., until the people are ready to go to any length, almost, to defeat the railroads in various wavs in a sort of get-even spirit. Hence, when the auto truck came into vogue with its door to door dis tribution many people gladly gave the trurk their patronage until much of the short haul high class freight is now- transported from the wholesale center to its destination In the nearby town and country. What is lh<* result? But few of th«* railways are earning more than ope rating expenses; some an* living op erated at a loss, ami one railroad in Missouri has ceased operation en tirely. Now it is manifestly true that we cannot get along without the railroads Not every one can own an auto or an auto truck, ami these gas machines arc the cause of railway deficits. The people arc la-ginning to view th«» railway problem from its true points. They see the heavy auto truck destroying the expensively constructed highways almost as rap idly as they can lie built, and are seeing the railroads liemg driven out of business (which will l»e the case), unless they earn operating expenses and more. If the railroads should be driven out of busimsaa, how could the farmer market his grain, cattle, hogs and other produce; how could our lumber mills get their products to the consumer, etc., except at a much greater cost than at pr«*sent? Railways have been allowed to in crease their transportation charges, but without increasing thriy earn ings. Consumers will cease buying except as nect-mity compels, and thoae who do mil own an auto stay at home In the meantime. auto trucks are increasing in number with the conse<|urnt destruction of e»ailly built roads.
