situations prevailing only ina smaller
degree In other sections, 1t Will be
seen that freight ana passenger earn
ings must show decided slump. Nor
Is this all. When any part of the
National lines has fallen into the
hands of the revolutionists, they have
used 1t for all II Is worth, collecting
what funds they could from Its opera
tions.
In addition to this there arises the
question of physical destruction. a
dozen times or more large mileages
have fallen into the hands of the reb-
els only to be rescued by the federas
again. a very large number Of
bridges have been repeatedly de-
stroyed. and great sections of track
have been torn up. In many cases
the rails have been bent out of shape
to prevent their ever being used again.
All this has fallen heavily upon the
government lines. and the result is
that II the government does not meet
the interest charges ont of the fed
eral treasury they will scarcely be met
Mt all.
Tho revoutionists, realizing that
the government Is the principal owner
of these railways have not scrup'ed to
damage them just as far as possible,
both because 1t would cripple the ia
cilities for handling federal troops
and because 1t would add further bur-
dens to the already strained treasury
or course. there is one saving feature
to the situation from a government
standpoint. The financial interests of
the world have money tied up In the
National Railways of Mexico. II the
revolution Is successful there may be
dlifienlty In realizing on those invest
ments. Therefore, 1t Is reasoned, FL
naneial aid will he Forthcoming for
the purpose of protecting these invest
ments.
There are a number of independent
lines In Mexico, those I'm the southern
part of the country being English
owned, One of these is the Southern
Pacific lines In Mexico which lead
from a point In Arizona to the Gulf
Of California harbor of Guaymas, the
port which orozco aims to capture
SO as to have a port within the rev.
olntionary territory. The present and
immediate future activities of tho
northern reyoutionists seem to be laid
out along this line, since 1t extends
from the territory where the revolu-
llonists now are, through Hermosilla
state of Sonora, the capital which they
expect to take. and on to Guaymas
their ultimate objective.
In the building of the railroads of
the country Mexico has been extreme
~ liberal with subsidies to those who
would undertake the work. These
subsidies have ranged from $4,000 to
$4,000 a mile, and In return there
fore the company has agreed that
after ninety-nine years the road
should become the property OF the
government under an agreed compen-
sation. Il Is certain that without
such subsidies, some of the impor-
tant roads of the republic never
would have been built for the day
when they could be expected. to return

The Daily Missoulian., 1912-08-31

The problems of the government in
are multiplied and intensified by the
character OF the ownership of the ma
jority of the railroads of the coun-
try. The government has a varying
degree of interest In all of the rail-
roads of the nation. The road from
Vera Cruz and Cordoba to the 18TH
mus of Tehauntepec In owned by the
government outright. and Is operated
by II AS n part of the National iail-
ways. The country through which
this road passes has experienced lit
tie trouble M far az the revolt against
Madero Is concerned The road across
the Isthmus of Tehauntepec Is ownen
outright by the government, which ca
pended so much In the building of the
road and the port works at Sallnn
cruz and coatzacoalcos that the grosa
earnings do not suffice to meet eycn
the fixed charges. 1t Is operated by a
partnership company consisting of Tho
finn of Sir Weetman Pearson and tie
government Of Mexico as equal part
ners. This road has not been hit very
hard by the revolution. since most y
It's revenues consist of the transGon-
tinenta traffic brought TO the two
sides of the lsthmus by the steamship
lines of the Atlantic and Pacific.
In the vast majority Of the other
railroads of the country the govern
mont owns a majority of tho stock
and thus dominates their policies. Not
long after 1900 1t began to look to the
Mexican government as if some of The
big railroad interests of the United
States were about 10 swallow up n
number of the principal roads of the
country. so II was decided that the
only way to overcome this dange.
would be for the government to h',v
up controlling interest In the roads,
Therefore a new company was or
ganized, In which the government took
capital stock. Previous To this the
government had bought quietly, In
Wall street. "A controlling interest In
the National Railroad company. The
latter gave them an outlet to the Rio
Grande from the capital. Via Monte
rey' and Laredo. A little later the
Mexican Central, running from I'll
Paso, got into financial difficulties,
and the government wanted to save
1t. That was what led to the forma-
tion of the new holding company with
the government AZ the possessor of
the majority of the stock Nearly
four -fifths of the railroad mileage Of
Mexico Is now under the ownership of
this company, of which the govern
ment owns a controlling interest
But whether the government Is n
partner In a business or not, that
business must meet Its financial obli-
cations, and In the case of this hold
Ing company they are heavy, for, be
II said, Wall street was not aisle ap
