Depew on the Western Railroad Problem

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew's analysis of
the cause of trouble with the western rail-
road dividends shows a comprehensive and
accurate knowledge, not only of the situa-
ton as 1T exists now. but as it has existed
since the "Far West" was first opened.
The difficulty, as he points out, lies in
striking the right balance between the
through rate and the rate on local traffic.
at present, with the through rate greatly
reduced by competition, there is not
enough Intermediate business to make
good the reduction. 1t is expected, how
ever, that this will be overcome, and that
the railroads will build up an intermediate
trade by building up the territory along
their routes.
There is no reasonable doubt of this
The check in the development of the west
is merely temporary. The west must
grow, and its growth must greatly increase
the value of all western railroad proper
les.
The problem of facilitating this growth
is easily understood if not easily solved. 1t
is a matter of marketing crops. In good
average year the western states produce
enough to enrich not only their own work
ers. merchants and railroads, but the sea-
board cities which handle their surplus.
At present this surplus is largely wasted.
We are now virtually throwing away cereal
wealth which would bring us in many mil.
lions if we could market it. That is the
pro blem for statesmen and economists, as
it is for railroad men and every one else
interested in seeing this the most prosper
GUS country in the world. Give us mar
kets! Show us how to stop wasting our
crop surplus New York World.
