figures being s259,416,250 Formerly
lindustrials were unable to market
stock in competitor with the railways,
but this year they have been able to
place between three and four times as
much as the railways.
These figures throw a revealing
light upon the question of how we are
going to get the eight billions worth
of railway improvements which the
country needs more than the railways
We are not going to get them unless
these conditions change The country
will have to shrink to the volume OF
traffic the railways are able TO carry
That is the way the country manages
its bank credits, and that is the way
it will have to manage its railway
traffic. No sane man thinks that rail
ways are going to finance billions OF
betterments by shortterm notes at
rising rates of interest when their net
revenues ar stagnant at best. The
railways are now in the position of the
borrower who worried over small
debts, but composed himself when his
borrowings were so great that his
creditors had to take care of him. Ro-
bust as industrial conditions are, there
must come turn one way or another,
and when investors want to shift their
once more where will
they look? TO railway securities float
ed by a government guarantee, and
with taxation against railway operat-
ing deficits, in the manner Of the Pan
anna Canal?

STARVING RAILWAY DEVELOP
MENT


The situation of the railways is fa-
miliar to many business men. The
volume Of their business is large, but
the ratio Of profit is small For the
fiscal year. whose results were recent
| ly published, gross earnings increased
| $54 ,499,5S7 and net decreased $50 Alb.
Out of the smaller net had to be paid
Increases of taxes by $12,6S9. 25S. The
railways in recent years have so con
solidated themselves that this result
in itself might not be uncomfortable, but
IN finance nothing stands by itself.
Everything is relative. and relatively
the situation Of the railways is less
satisfactory than the above results in
dicate, and is so considered by the
ultimate Judge, the Investing public.
This is made clear by the figures of
the October dividends and interest and
the September flotations of new secur-
tiles. Whatever may be thought of
the condition of the railways Them
selves, it is undeniable that they are
failing behind in their claim upon pub
lie favor. and that they are doing so
with reason, however undeservedly.
The dividends of the railways for
| this October are not quite a million
dollars larger than last year But
total disbursements this week increas-
ed five millions. OF the increase more
than three millions We're contributed
| by irdustrlals, of which sixteen paying
this year paid no dividends last year.
At a time when the totals are the larg-
est on record ii cannot be contended
that the railways are getting their
lshare. The relatively unfavorable
compafison is reflected in the Septem-
her financing. The months security
issues are largely above last year, but
the railroads fare worse in their new
issue sthan in their dividends on out.

THE WOMEN GO MARCHING ON


Last weeks election was a great
triumph for women in the United
States. That is, for the woman who
believe in equal suffrage, and it must
be conceded most women of today be-
lliove in it. In four out of five states
in which suffrage amendments We're
voted on they carried, and in the
state where it lost, Wisconsin, it is
asserted it was not upon the merets Of
hte question.
In Arizona, Oregan, Michigan and
Kansas women will have the right to
vote the next time president is
elected Already they have the right
and did vot this year in California,
Idaho, Utah, Washington, Wyoming,
Colorado. With the advantage gain
ed by the victory Tuesday, it is not
inconcevable that still more states
will vote equal sufferage before 1916
With ten states out of forty-eght
Acknowledged women,s equality with
man, it is plain that the time is out

admire the stand taken by the

JUNEAu'S NEW POST
 MASTER IS POPULAR.

The following from the Junead Dis patch, in commenting on the nomin- ation of Earl Hunter for postmaster of Juneau, would indicate that the az pOintment is a popular one and will undoubtedly be confirmed by the Sen ate.
 Mir. Hunter is well and favorably known in SKagway and many friends here are pleased at his good fortune.
 The retiring postmaster, John T. Spickett. is also known in Skagway and while his visits have been few and far between his melodious voice will long be remembered.
 Johnny Spickett is in a class all by himself and is hard to beat:
 "Postmaster John T. Spicke.t to- day was the|first to congratulate MT. Hunter, and gave the latter the news of his nomination. The Dispatch re- cc!vcd a cablegram containing word of the nomination at 10 o'clock. By II o'clock the news had rapidly spread about town and Mr. Hunter has been acknowledging the fcI.citaGons of his many friends all day.
 You may say for me- sail Post master Spickett today. that Earle Hunter is the best employee have had in the postofrico during my ten. ure of the local postma@,crship. He is the right man for the place and will give Juneau excellent service. l am sure
 The announcement that Mir. Hunt CT has been selected ivy the president for postmaster here is not surprising for it had been generally understood in Juneau that his name would be sent to the Senate soon. He announC cd his candidacy 10 succeed Postmast CT SpicEctt shortly after the latter made public his determination to not again seek Cfo office.

 The clerk then read the report of the school board, the treasurer's re- port, the magistrates report, and the report of he town clerk.

 Here Ganty suggested that the council should have a vice-president, but was informed that it would be necessary to amend the ordinance in order to effect such a change.
 Abrahams said that it might be well for the council to be empowered to fill such vacancies which might occur through the removal, resisna- tion or death of a member of the council, and this was referred inform ally to the committee on judiciary and elections.
 Here it was found that there were no committees, as Tanner stated that he wished to take sufficient time to make proper appointments, so Abra, hams suggestion was temporarily dropped.
 Tanner read a telegram from Dele, gate Wickersham requesting that he be named by the Skagway Commcr, cial Club to represent them at the National Commercial Club which was to be held April %.
