ALL NOT GOLD THAT GLITTERs.

1 HISCUSSING the Urban transportation prob
- lem in a report TO the city of Pittsburg, Mr..
Bion ]. Arnold, the well-known traction engineer
OF Chicago says: "The inancier must realize that
the day for the exploitation of established enter
prises has passed and that the fixed charges on
such properties must be reduced to fair return
on the actual investment"
This is one opinion very different from the po-
sition usually taken by promoters ten or fifteen
years ago when il was held that street railway and
similar public service corporation franchises we're
regarded as the finest possible opportunities for
speculative profits. And great profits some of
these spectators we're accustomed to reap through
their political influence which enabled them to get
franchises without giving anything substantial in
return Many of them made hay while the sun
was shining, and they quietly resting on their
profits while some others are left to hold the bag
The overcapitalizaton of the public service cor
porations is, as we take it, the chief cause of all
their trouble. 1t used TO be thought that the mere
holding of a public service corporation franchise
was the opening path TO a gold mine, and it was
in some instances. but the experiences OF many
men connected with the public service corpora
tions in this State tell them that at present all
is not gold that glitters
The question is what shall be done with the men
who are holding the bag?" What can be done
with Mr. Crosby? Even if the interests that he
represents are overcapitalized and his arrival was
on delayed train, the principal thing that we see
that can be done about the matter is TO provide
for the city to get fair and reasonable share
of the receipts of Mr.. Crosbys companies and TO
regulate the rates by means of a Public Service
corporation commission.
II should be borne clearly in mind that the peo-
pie of community are not responsible for the
troubles that come through overcapitalization Of
railway companies. If the manipulators OF the
deal which secured the Wilmington and Phadel-
phia Traction Companies property find that the
capitalization is very high that is not the fault
Of the residents of the city. Manpuators of such
deals must take into account the public sentiment
Of city and the fact that the public service cor
poration question is becoming acute not only here,
but elsewhere The people naturally object to
being made the goats TO hear the burden of try
ing TO realize interest on property supposed to
be valued much higher than its actual physical
valuation added 10 a fair amount for the franchise
