FINLEY ON RAILROAD PROBLEM.

es explanatory OF the common
carriers side Of the railroad
prob lem, with the view Of bring
ing about a better understanding,
and consequently better relations,
between the transportation COM
panies and the public. His latest
effort was speech delivered in
Chicago Saturday before the au-
nual meeting of the American
association of freight traffic Off
GERS. In his usual forceiul man
ner Mr.. Finley made strong
presentation of the difficulties
now confronting the railroads.
They are being besieged on every
hand for better service, and yet
to improve the service large
sums of money are needed i,
which sums ii is practically i'm
possible to obtain Tor the reason
that investors of capital will not
risk their means in properties
which are being le9islated against
in various states. From the view
point of the railroads, reductions
III rates have been made by leg
islation which threaten 10 bring
disaster to the vast interests of
the transportation companies.
During the course OF his remarks
Mr.. Finley said:
"These carriers can no more
stand being made the foot bali
of political parties or being used
TO advance the ambitions of as.
pirants for political favors or 10
have their charges politically
regulated than any other bust
ness enterprise. They possess no
immunity from the operation of
economic laws. If they are to be
successful there must be for
them as for any other successful
business enterprise a proper mar
Gin between receipts and eXpen-
ditures. If their expenses are to
be increased by the demands of
labor, by the price of supplies,
by the eXactions Of law and by
other causes beyond their con-
troll their revenues must be pro-
tected from unreasonable reduc.
ton or the result. in obedience
to an irresistible economic law,
must be destructive. 1t is neces-
sary in Che interest, not only of
the carriers, but OF the national
welfare, that this destruction
shall be averted. 1t can be done
only by conservative and con-
structive policy. The progress Of
pulling down and of destroying
the old has continued long with
out abatement. 1t may be safely
concluded that such abuses as
were in existence have been
sufficiently exposed and curbed
for the process OF rebuilding TO
begin. There can be no perma
nent policy Of destruction. The
welfare OF the country, the inter
ests Of its comm rec, and the
prosperity of its citizens, now
demand the establishment OF a
new basis of stability in the
place of the old conditions which
have passed away. The funda-
mental corner stone OF the new
structure must be the authorit a
tive announcement of the pro
position that those who invest
their private means in the estab-
lishment of transportation facili
ties have not placed them beyond
the protection of the Constitu
ton. Otherwise there will not
be. hereaftar, any investment of

To Abolish Fast Trains.

The eighteen nous trains Of the
PENNSYLVANIA and New York Central
railroads between Chicago and New
York may be abolished as a result of
the general movement to make =
cents a mile the maximum passenger
rate OF the railways.
The 2 cent a mile laws which have
been adopted by Ohio and Indiana
contain no provision for a higher rate
ON trains which run at more than or
binary speed and are composed OF
special equipment. Under a strict in
depreciation of the law. the railroads
cannot charge more than 2 cents a
mile In Ohio. Indiana, and New York,
and the excess fare" now collected
on all trains running between here
and New York in less than twenty
eight hours Is illegal,
If Illinois gets a 2 cents a mile law,
and indications are that It will do SO.
the maximum passenger rate which
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad can charge
between Chicago and New York will
he s1S.24. It now charges $40 to pat
rons on the eighteen hour train. and
in addition each passenger must paw
at least S. for a Pullman ticket. AL.
though their route is longer, the New
York Central lines charge the same
fares as the Pennsylvania. They are
based on a standard fare Of $50 for
all trains running between Chicago
and New York in tw~enty-eight hours
or more. with an excess fare of 81 an
hour on all trains running from Chi
cage to New York in less than twenty.
eight hours. On this scale. the ex.
Goes fare on the eighteen hour trains
IS $40. making the minimum fare s35
tn New York. This is almost double
tire rate which the Pennsylvania COM
many could charge with the laws in
Illinois. Ohio. Indiana. Pennsylvania.
and New Jersey making 2 cents the
maximum rate per mile.
IF We cannot extra fares for special
service IN speed and equipment. we
cannot afford to maintain our limited
trains" said a representative Of the
Pennsylvania system. "Our company
has been planning to put in service
trains running between Chicago an I
New York In sexteen hours, as sooa

are able to collect C fares on
those trains they will never be put IN

THE limited trains between here
and New York will be withdrawn IN
all probability II the railroads are
compelled to reduce their fare TO .

OF the NV York Central lines. I'VE
cannot afford to run such trains with.
out excess fares. The public wants
the faster service. but the railroads
cannot be compelled to furnish it 1t
a loss. The fastest train between
Chicago and New York will be twenty.

are compelled to make their rates OF
