TO use credit is TO invite disaster. Yet in what
respect are railroads exempt from the laws
which govern the vast transactions OF modern
trade and finance? The whole structure rests
upon credit: and the capacity to borrow. rightly
regarded. is a certificate OF strength and SOL
vency, for there must ever be two parties to
the transaction. and the lender must be satisfied
with his collateral and the character OF the Dor
rover.
This particular transaction would scarcely call
for comment but for the criticism IL aroused
from warped minds. OF the S10OO0000 Dor
rowed, S2,5OOO0O will be used 10 retire bonds
maturing July 1, and the remainder will be de-
voted to construction and equipment disburse-
ments. The money will not evaporate. win not
