This condition will only improve
when the business man realizes
that the investor does not provide
the source of his own investments.
He waits for you to do that in some
desirable form. By your individ-
ually letting things drift, and do
ing nothing. your legislator, with
no business experience, hearing no
advice and receiving no direct in
formation, which he gladly would
from you (quite likely you do not
even know his name), listens to
the only voices heard; the agitator
or the aggressive shipper, whose
views of the business world are OBJ
tanned by looking out of the small
hole OF a funnel directed at his
own plant, unconscious of other
conditions of far more importance
to his own business than the freigt
rates. Such men as these by their
voclferous vigor, have stirred up a
popular anti-corporation agitation
that has cowed all parties, and they
are so scared of being charged as
owned or bought that all questions
of principle, equity or the general
good are ignored. The railroad
man draws his salary, whether the
road pays or not; he does not own
it. 1t he does say anything he is
sat upon. The stockholders as a |
body are defenseless. You are the |
sufferer and the only one who
would be listened to. Will YOU
not study your own interests, find
out your legislators name, and tell |
him the real situation. Otherwise
we must wait until grim necessity
starves out the present anti-rail-
road fever. T. A. GRIFFIN.
