The Local Policy Of the Balti.

The Railway World severely criticises
the local policy Of this road. After stating
that its efforts to do competing through
business have not been attended with
profit, II proceeds to comment on its 10.
cal policy as follows:
But what has the management ol the
company done to develop the resources Of
the country through which it passes
Had they encouraged Large manufactur-
ing and other interests on their lines,
these would have produced permanent
local traffic. During the past year an
exhibit was made in this journal OF Che
heavy charges that were imposed on the
local traffic OF the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road, as though the effortwas to exact the
last dollar in lieu OF lower charges 10 en-.
courage traffic. The shareholders will
look in vain for the development OF local
business which a different, wiser, and
broader policy would have given. A line
which commands such extensive deposits
Of iron ore and coal should have pro.
duced the results that are found on most
Of the other important railroads in this
country, Some Of which are not favored
with resources equal 10 those Of the Bal.
timore & Ohio Railroad Company.
There is much force in the above com.
menta, and it WILDE felt and appreciated by
all our West Virginia people who happen
to live along the line Of the road. Per-
haps some OF them will remember the ar.
ticie we published last year, during the
railroad war, from the New York World
giving a comparative exhibit Of the local
rates charged by the New York Central
and the Baltimore & Ohio. For the sake
Of showing how their rates then compared

very mistaken policy in thus taxing her
local trade. It has not been policy OF en-.
lightened self interest, and in the end is
sure to prove, itself losing operation
to the company. The road might just as
well be doing two or three times the local
business it really is doing, had it pur-
sued more liberal policy instead of one
that has kept down enterprise and
production along every mile Of its line.
