with the just demands of the public for

reduction of revenues must conflict with
the public interest in these larger ques-
tions of better facilities and greater
safety.
l submit these facts to the candid con-
sideration of those people who In per-
feet good faith, desire a reduction of our
freight rates and passenger fares. The
public should be advised that. with de-
creased revenues, the railroads of the
country will be utterly unable to pursue
successfully their efforts to provide bet
ter facilities and greater safety of trans
portation.
The point is near where 1t may be alb

the choice between better and safer IA

on the other. In the nature of things,
II is impossible to provide both.

IMPORTANT LETTER
Tells of Exertions Being Made
by Railroads
OVERWHELMED WITH WORK
Thinks Imposition of Penalty for Fall

Make Matters Worse In
stead of Better.

Washington, January Especial 1.-The
following interesting letter has been is
sued by President w. w. Finley of the
Southern railway:
no the Public Served by the Southern
Railway Company
Realizing from our own point of view
and from public expression, the import
ance of the work of this company, espe-
cially in the south, and the fiduciary re-
lationship which 1t bears to its patrons
and to the public, ] desire to make a
brief statement of some of the conditions
which confront 1t, and of the purposes
and policy of its management.
The management would not ignore the
fact that at present railroad service gen.
orally including that of the Southern, Is
far from satisfactory. If there was no
adequate and justifying cause for this,
these conditions would be objectionable,
but the fact is, they spring largely from
causes which cannot for the moment be
controlled.
One exceedingly potential cause is the
extraordinary industrial development of
the SOUTH In his last public address, the
late president of this company, Mr.. Sam
uel Spencer, referred to this develop
ment as follows:

Accordingly. in 1902 came one James

present CONSUL general of the Congo at

heavy penalty therefor.
Inasmuch as adequate facilities for all
are not In existence, the imposition of a
penalty for failure to furnish cars under
the above mentioned circumstances, II II
has any effect other than merely to de-
plete the treasury of the carrier ana 10

must result simply in the withdrawal OF
the carriers facilities from the service In
respect to which there is no penalty In
order to use them in the service where
there is a penalty. The logical result Of
this would be a race between the states
to see which could infict the highest
penalty so as to obtain a preference for
its own citizens.
Penalties VIII Not Build Tracks.
The imposition of penalties will nor
build railroad tracks. supply equipment,
or enlarge and simplify terminals, nor
would it, under the circumstances mem
toned, benefit the transportation service
as a whole but, on the contrary, would
tend to produce injustice and diserimna-
ton between persons and localities. be-
sides this naturally would develop into
preference in favor OF state commerce
over Interstate commerce. But the larger
interests of the shipping public OF the
south are in interstate commerce Tor the
reason that their principal markets are
the larger markets of the country, which
are in other states.
That this condition is appreciated by
the shippers will be apparent from the
following quotation from a letter just re-
ceived from a large shipper:
practically all our shipments go out
of the state; therefore, we cannot use

Additional Track Capacity.
One of the greatest needs of the south
is that it's railroads should have additional
track capacity. No matter how many
locomotives and cars may be available, it
is manifest that the number which can be
moved is limited by the track capacity.
The work of providing the necessary adj
ditonal track will require vast input of
capital. How it is to be provided is
everywhere matter of grave concern to
railroad managers. 1t cannot be obtained
from the current operations of the prop
critics. 1t must be borrowed
Looking forward to the need for largely
increased facilities, the management last
spring authorized the creation of the
companys development and general mort

of these bonds, $20,000000 were at once sold
and the proceeds are being spent as rapid
ly as the work can be done In adding to
the existing facilities of the company. 1t
is the intention of the management to
pursue this policy and provide such Of
these additional facilities may be re-
quired to meet the growing demands Of
business.

railroad companies to obtain the means

cilitles and to provide the most approved

the situation which confronts the car
riers.
The present situation Is:
An immense increase in all expenses
without any increase in rates-n fact,
with the proposition almost universally
made to decrease rates by legislative
action.
The large increase in expenses may be
illustrated as follows:
Since 1898:

Bridge timber has increased from 50 SO
to $20.52 per thousand feet
Cross ties from Is cents to S45 cents
per tie.
Steel rails from si7.75 per ton to s2s
per ton.
Since 1895 prices of equipment have in
creased as follows:
Locomotives from s1i 500 to from $4,000
to $4,000.
Passenger coaches from S6S15 to s9i6S.
Freight cars from $500 AZ to $765.
Coal cars from s36S to $l135!
The cost of labor has increased per
mile of road from 21.67 in 1895 to s2S74.71
in 1906; and from s251S.6 per mile of road
in 1905 to $2S74.71 in 1906.

To this large increase of expense must
be added the excessive verdicts of juries

Hampered BY Two Conditions.

Hampered BY Two Conditions.
1t has been and still is, hampered, how
ever by two conditions: One is the large
amount of fresh capital required; and the
other the difficulty of securing adequate
and efficient labor, of promptly getting
its construction work done, and of OBJ
tanning the rolling stock, rail and other
material essential to improved facilities
Delay incident to obtaining rolling stock
will be illustrated by the following:
On November l, 1905, contract was made
for ninety-eight locomotives and 1906
freight cars to be delivered in February
and March, 1906, There are still unde-
livered III freight cars.
On February /, 1906, contract was made
for 100 locomotives and 10000 freight cars
to be delivered on or before October, 1906
Still undelvered, II locomotives and 221s
freight cars.
The disappointing delay in construction
work will be illustrated by the follow
ing:
The double track work on the main line
between Pomona and Spencer. n. c., was
all let during the year 1905, and the last
of 1t should have been completed by No
vember &c. 1906. Part of this work is
ten months late and the rest of it win be
approximately five months late This de-
lay Is due to the difficulty of the contrac-
tors In getting labor and material

were let i'm September, 1905, and April
1906. That part of the work. which should
have been completed to date, is approxi-
mately ten months late This delay is
due to the inability of the contractors to
get labor promptly.
The double track work between Peyton
and Austell. Ga, the contract for which
was let in April. 1905. and which should
have been completed in February, 1906,
will be more than fourteen months late
in completion. This delay Is due to the
scarcity of labor and material
The prosecution of this double track
work has necessarily caused some OF the
delay to the traffic of which the public
complains and necessarily results to the

The fact that the company, in its effort
to improve Its facilities to handle the
public business, has not been deferred
from undertaking this work at a time

because the increased power of the loco
