There Can BE No substantial Prosperity
Till Railroads Prosper.


Cbaunccv VI. Depew as President or the
Joint Traffic Association. in an interview
I'M the Ncw York Mail and Express, takes
,ssuc with the views Of President Smith,
OF the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
antaconistfc 20 q railway pooling law.
..In my oDiuiOn' said Mr. Depew, there
can be no substantial prosperity In this
country until the railroads prosper, and
do moi see how the railroads can prosper
II an interminabe rate war is TO be wdg-
cd between them !, Tor one. would pre-
Ter TO do business under uniform rate
fixed by a public body rather than under
a demoralized rate. The railroad business
If the last six months has been done on
the basis OF a demoralized rate. and,
while The increase in earnings everywhere
has been great, YOU VIII notice that II
has beeu greatest in gross earnings rather
than net. You must understand too.
that these earnings have followed tre-
rncndous harvest here and an equally
great crop movement. induced by the
wheat demands OF Europe upon US. Some
statesmen tell us that a pooling law ia
too great power 10 centralize in the
hands OF any public commission, but the
absence of one is tending on the one
hand 10 create a middleman's monopoly.
as against both producer and consumer.
and at the same time to destroy the main
hope OF prosperity for the railroads.
Prosperity. If IT means anything at all.
means the distribution OF wealth among
the many and over a large territory. IL
certainly does not mean the concentration
OF wealth and power i'm a few hands and
and in a few large cities. The pooling
legislation which the railroads are now
seeking would establish a uniform rate
throughout the country and bring us
back TO the old conditions when the farm
er shipped his produce direct TO the sales
market and based his selling price on
natural conditions rather than On the ar
bitrary rate fixed for him by a monopoly.
