The Railroads and Politics.

While one school Ll politics, not
confined to either parry, teaches that
the octupus chase is Iust begun the
country is admOnishtl by practical
men that it is impers-tLve that $5,U0U-
COO ,DGU De raised Dy tna railroads now
II operation for inlpTL 'o1nentS, for re-
pairs, for terminals a-I for additional
rolling stock. In this estimate is no
provision for extensiCns, though it is
proposed to eXpend p arge percentage
of the stupendous sam for double
tracEage.
A railroad is but an Instrument of
commerce, just as 4 plOW is utensil
Of agriculture or a saw Or adz tool
of architecture Railroads are indis-
pensable to our civilization. We can
not get along without them, and the
better the road the better it is for
every patron of the road, whether he
be producer Or consumer, and most
men are both. Not to allow rail,
road to earn enough to improve its
physical condition after paying fixed
charges is as foolish and as WaSteful
as to withhold fertilizer from the field
or deny adequate cultivation - the
crop.
The best railroad In the United
States is now spending millions in
the Improvement of it's physical pro-
perties,. and that LOO when freight
rates are lower than IN any other
country in the world. Many of our
railroads are daily impaired for lack
of funds with which to mend aud
darn tracks, bridges and rolling
stock. But the octupus ehasers cry out
against adequate rates to pay inter
est on bonds and beggariy dividends on
stocks and pronounce as iniquitous any
surplus that is boarded for improve
ments. 1t is time for the public to
look OF railroad as business enter
prise and not as an issue in politics.
