many persons, wise ones, too, have
sndeavored to account for the depression
in railroad prope.t ties and their failure
to pay dividends, even though their
freight rates ar, in some cases almost
pruhibitive SO lar as the agricultural
shipper is CONGO rned. What the railroad
companies themselves think Of it is per-
haps summed n 4 paper in The Forum
by President O. d. Ashley Of the Wa
bash road. Firlt Of all. Presid dent Ash
ley declares we aave too many parallel
competing lines. He cites US to the fact
that there are now six railway lines be-
tween Chicago aud st. Louis and seven
between Chicago and Kansas City when
two or three could easily handle AL the
traffic. He declares that only two lines
are needed between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, whereas there are now
six, counting the Canada Pacific. Il Il
scarcely seems possible, however, that
with all the grain and fish and lumber
and fruit coming from the Pacific slope
to the east two lines would be sufficient.
AZ other evils that have crippled the
roads Mr.. Ashley cites the arbitrary
and oppressive legislation" in some Of
the western states and that terrible in
terstate commerce law which will not
let the railways pool their earnings, or,
as he says, adopt simple and harmless
method" Of meeting the difficulties.
But Mr.. Ashley has already given the
best Of reasons why the public will de-
sire to let the interstate law stand ex-
actly as tits. He confesses there are not
freight and passengers enough to make
all tho roads pay under the natural
course Of tra-ic. His remedy would be
to have the companies combine and
force mp the rates Of freight and passen-
gers 50 that roads which have no reason
for being and should not have been built
for the next 20 or 80 years should be
made to return dividends. Thus he
would take it out Of the public. Mr..
