| Views Afoot
THE SHOE ON THE OTHER
FOOT

How often have we observed that
the appearance of things depends large
ly upon the point of view?
Take the railroads for example. We
have learned to think of them as soul
less robbers of society whose existence
is due to three great plundering pro-
cesses, towit: enormous land grants,
extort'onate transportat alton rates, and
initiation of capitalization.
But this is the way they looked when
we believed that Wall Street owned
them. We have since learned better.
Wall Street doesn't own them. Rail-
road stocks are more widely distributed
among small holders than any other
form of security. Many of our large
railroad companies are composed of be-
tween ten thousand and twenty thou
sand stock holders. The total number
of holders of rGilrood securieties in the
country is well up in the hundreds of
thousands. And in addition to this it
is really true that pretty nearly every
depositor in savings bank is indirect
~ the owner of railroad stocks or bonds
This is because savings banks invests
their funds very largely in these secur-
tiles and thus pay the interest to their
depositors from railroad EARNINGS.
Nearly two billion dollars worth of
railroad securities are held by the; saw
|ings banks iofths nation.
|. OF course this is one of the circum.
stances that alter cases. If the rail-
roads, which serve the public, are
owned by the public, why should the
public have any grudge against them?
And why should we not wish them to
prosper9 It has become plain that they
can not be prosecuted without creating
business unrest, and that this moment
hurts all the rest of us just as it hurts
the railroads.
1t follows that they should be treated
with perfect tfairness, and that our un-
reasoning prejudices ought to be laid
aside in dealing with them. But, Of
course it is somewhat easier to see this,
when we know that we own the rail-
roads ourselves.

much Warren car will stand under

The car has seen some pretty tough

the guards are battered from contact
with sand and gravel. In spite of this
there has been no serious mishap to an
essential part and the motor is rum

started its long trip.
The Wolverine carries q typewriter
and mimeograph, unusual equip
ments for touring. Nelly uses the
machines to inform those interested
of the Wolverines progress.
The car attracted much attention
on the streets of this place today. A
short stop was made aud then the
crew hurried on. The entire trip
