SOUTH IN need OF RAILROADS
President W. W. Finley Addresses
North Carolina Bankers.
tnvillingness of Investors to Buy
Anomalous state of Affairs.

Winston-Salem, y. C., May 23-Presi-
dent ". w. Finley. Of the Southern Rail
way Company. was one of the speakers
at a banquet given here tonight by the
North Carolina State Bankers Ass0cia-
tion. Mr.. Finley said that the bank and
the railway are two institutions that do
not participate directly In the production
Of tangible commodities, and yet they are
both essential to the success Of every
modern business.
As bankers said Mr.. Finley you
are familiar with business conditions
throughout this state and throughout the
country. You are especially familiar with
conditions IN the Southern States. You
know that the greatest need Of this sec
ton al the present time is increased
transportation facilities. As bankers. you
know that Il costs money 10 build a rail-
way. 10 buy cars and locomotives. to lay
double tracks. and % acquire and equip
terminal properties"
Mr.. Finley referred 90 tns present un-
willingness Of investors o. buy railway
securities. and said.
THE effect Of all this has been 20 bring
about an anomalous state Of affairs At
time when the country as a whole is
prospering as never before. when the
only apparent obstacle TO further ad-
vancement is the lack Of adequate rail-
road facilities. and when the managers
Of the railways are ready and anxious to
carry out comprehensive plans for the
improvement Of their systems-plsns tbat
I'm the South alone would involve the en-
ployment Of thousands Of men and ;he
expenditure Of millions Of dollars -t the
money markets Of the world are almost
closed to them and funds for tho compile
ton of work now under way have been
obtained only by resorting to short-time
loans at rates of interest much higher
than could prudently be paid for the
financing Of any new undertaking"
Mr., Finley said that In States where
laws had been enacted the effect or
which would be 20 cripple the railways A
high obligation and heavy responsibility
rested upon railway managers. Il was
their duty to protect the property in the
interest Of its owners and of the people
II had been their duty. therefore, to the
public, as well as 20 the railway, 90
submit the question Of the validity Of
these laws to the courts This step had
been taken in no defiant or retaIiatory
spirit. but only after due consideration,
and in the firm conviction that IL was a
duty no less To the people than to he
railways. When the courts had pass ed
upon the questions at issue the res lit
should he Loyalty accepted by the rail
ways and the public.
