THREATENED BY FLOOD.
Ogden River Up and Damage May
Be Repeated.

according to reports received from the
Ogden valley yesterday afternoon. Men
who were engaged in repairing the dam
age done by the previous flood to the
roads just east of the Ririe estate in the

account of the high water. The force OF
water coming through the Wheeler can

tain a greater depth than it did during the
previous flood. The Ogden river is rising
rapidly and precautions are being taken
by the people living close to the river

Water Highways Cost Nothing.

While approving the policy Of improving
rivers and haTboTs at public expense, Mr.
Finley contrasted the attitude OF the pub
lie toward carriers by water and by rail,
pointing out that the former pays moth
ing for his highway: that il is maintained
and improved at public expense, while the
carrier by rail must construct his own
highway. pay heavy taxes and IS sub
iected to increasing governmental super
vision and regulation. He urged popular
understanding of the fact that rail trans
pOrtatiOp is more important than water
transportation, expressing the belief that
when the inteT-dependence of the railways
and the people is understood, the people
viii be as reluctant to place obstacles
i'm the way of railway improvements as
they would be to oppose the Improvement
of waterways
Expressing the belief that there is dau-
ger that legislation intended to regulate
railways may prove to be an obstacle to
their extension and development and may
tend TO snake worse. instead of better, the
conditions sought TO be remedied.' Mr.
Finley cited as an illustration legislation
proposing to impose penalties for failure
to supply cars or to perform other ser
vices. without regard to whether such
failure is the result of wilfui negligence
He declared the present demand for cars
is beyond the capacity of the railways
and the car builders to supply, and that
the imposition of car service penalties
would compel discrimination in faVCr of
shipments wholly within the borders of
the state imposing the penalty.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-03-20
Credit Must Be Good.

If the railways are to secure the large
amounts of new capital required to en-
able them to meet the rapidly increasing
demands for their services. he said,
their credit must be such as to assure
investors of a reasonable return upon
their money The south now has rates
that enables southern producers To mar
ket their products i'm widely separated
home and foreign markets on such terms
that they can compete successfully with
similar products from other localities, but
IL has not the means of moving those pro-
ducts to market aS promptly as Is deslr-
able. Every shipper wanted lower rates.
But when rates are so low as 10 enable
him TO reach competitors, prompt and
efficient service becomes of more I'M
portance than rate reduction The impera-
tive need OF the south today IS i'm

RAILROAD SIDE
OF THE QUESTION
President Finley of the South
ern Sees Danger in the
Present Agitation.
PASSION AND PREJUDICE
LEGISLATION SHOULD BE WELL
CONSIDERED.

Atlanta. Ga. March 19.-At the annual
dinner of the Atlanta chamber of COM
mcrce tonight President w. w. Finley
of the Southern Railway, who was one of
the principal speakers, devoted his re-
marks entirely to the relations between
the railroads on the one hand and the
people and the state ana national gov
eTnments on the other hand. Mr. Finley
indicated his belief that the present trend
Of legislation endangers the prosperity OF
the railroads and the country alike
Mr.. Finley said it had always been the
desire of the railways to maintain cordial
relations with the people along their lines
and that the railways must cultivate the
good will and cooperation OF the people
by the adoption and PRONUNCIATION of eco
nOmically and commercially sound prin-
ciples in the conduct of their business
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-03-20
Business Rules Should Prevail.

In this matter and others which it is
proposed to regulate by legislation, il is
for the best interest of all concerned that
the resa lions between the railway and
those buying transportation from it should
conform to the well established business
rules that govern commercial transactions
of all kinds 4 railway corporation dif
fers from other corporations generally in
that it requires larger amount of CAPT
tai for the construction and operation of
its plant than is needed in most other
lines of business
Its capital can only be secured if
those seeking investments can be reason
ably sure of fair return, and its busi-
ness can only be conducted successfully
and its facilities expanded if its income
can be kept up to the point necessary to
sustain its credit and enable it to secure
new capital when required for these pur-
poses.
THE transportation problem can not
be solved in prejudice or passion or in
any misundersta nding of the conditions
that surround il. Its just solution calls
for moderation and justice on the part
OF the people and a full understanding and
cooperation between our state and ma
tional governments and the railroads. In
such an effort to work out successfully
the problem, which is the great business
and governmental problem of the times
and which can only be solved on princi-
pies of construction, and not destruction.
and in full recognition of the high and
lust purposes of both sides may God
speed the railroads and the people of the
great state of Georgia.

viii Result in Greed.

1T must be apparent said he, that
the inevitable result of this will he 10
bring about a competition of greed and
rivalry between the states to see which
can impose the heaviest penalty and Sc
cure the largest number of cars and the
most prompt service. and that every PEN
atty imposed for failure to do the impOs-
sible must reduce the ability of the road
to secure more cars and other needed
bettcTments. 1t must be apparent that
such a policy is in direct violation of the
common law rule forbiddinE discTimna-
ton. which has been Incorporated in the
federal and state statutes. IL cOmpels
discrimination i'm favor of transportation
wholly within the state imposing the
heaviest penalty against other states and
against interstate traffic.

which does not belong to him and the
proposition TO penalize a railroad for fail
