Business Mems Committee Have Per
 sOnal Interest

This company does not doubt the per sonal integrity or the general sense of fairness of the distinguished committee of business men who are now engaged In connection with the former Governor Conner, in an agitation against it, but 1t calls attention to the fact that they are personally interested in the matter; that they are presenting the matter from the viewpoint of their own interest alone, and that they have not considered the interest of this company, but have con fined themselves to a consideration of their own interest They do not consider the fact that the general rates of this company, where voluntarily established by it, are the same in all the southern states; therefore, that those rates apply to interstate business just as they apply to intrastate business. They have not mentioned the fact that by reducing the intrastate rates and leaving the inter- state rates intact, they extend their own territory at the expense of outside job bers This may be a highly desirable re- suit for them, but it is very unfair to this company in requiring 1t to render a greater service for a less return, and 1t is equally unfair to the retail merchants and the consumers of this state who are more interested in having competition from jobbers in Atlanta and Chattanoo- ga and Nashville and Memphis and New Orleans and Pensacola than they are in
 having those competitors driven from the markets of the state. and thus leav- ing retailers and the consumers to the mercy of the wholesalers resident within the state.
 1t is q fine thing for those who seek monopoly of the markets of the state to have tariff wall erected at the state line forbidding outside job bers to enter in except upon terms Of marked disadvantage but 1t Is wholly against the general welfare of the peo- pie of Alabama to destroy this compe- tition. and it is wholly unjust, in any event that this company should be to discriminate by a statute of a single state against the commerce of all the states in which 1t operates

Amount of Capital Invested

III OiQtT lO tIldDlc u u lltlidlt ilS tldAli1 it has already completed 4S miles of sec ond track, and has let contracts calling for additional expenditures for this pur- pose of upward of $5,500,000. The cost of reconstruction and equipment of the South and North Alabama railroad would exceed $100,000 per mile. Its total expenses since 1884 for extensions, branch lines and sec ond track in this state have cost exceed ing S30, GOO, and, together with those now authorized will soon reach a total of approximately $40.000, ,000-this in addi- ton to its main line investment. Its total investment fin Alabama, including the South and North Alabama railroad, could not be reproduced at this time for S6n.- 00o,000. Many of these branch lines have been unproftable from the beginning; several of them have not earned operating expenses; none of them have earned from all business interest upon the bonded debt in addition to operating expenses. The Southern Alabama, the Alabama and Flor ida, the Bay Mlnette and Ft. Morgan as late as 1911, show an actual loss in opera tion from all business. The Alabama Mineral shows a profit of about one-half of per cent. The South and North Ala bama railroad from 1872 until 1902 show a deficit in operating expenses and inter- est on its bonds of over 5000 600. Under all these circumstances 1t is clear to any fairly disposed person that conditions on the Louisville and Nashville system In Alabama cannot justly be compared with the Atlanta and West Point and Western and Atlantic lines in the state of Geor- gia.
 Complaint is made that the method of arriving at the cost of doing intrastate business in the suits lately tried is ar bitrary and uncertain, and Is determined upon theoretical lines. It Is admitted that the ascertainment of the cost of doing intrastate business, as separated from the cost of doing all business, is uncertain and difficult; In fact it is impossible of entertainment with accuracy. It can only be estimated; in the very nature of things, it can never be positively determined. but that 1t costs largely more to earn a dollar in intrastate business than in interstate business at the present rates Is capable of certain, easy and definite ascertain ment The only question Is in deter mining how much more.

 Branch Lines
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad In Alabama is not composed of one through line; Its rates are not confined to it's through line. in which it's traffic is dense. It has pursued the policy of giving pre- cisely the same rates on its branch lines, where revenue is light as on it's main lines, where revenue Is dense, and the statutes in controversy have done the same In 1884, 1t began its policy of build ing branch lines for the purpose of i'm proving its business and doing it's share in the general development. It built the Birmingham Mineral railroad at an az gregate cost to this time of oyer four mill lion dollars; it purchased. reconstructed and completed the Alabama Mineral rail- road at a cost of upwards of three mill O., and rebuilt and extended 1t from Selma to Myrtlewood at a heavy cost; it rebuilt and extended the Southern Ala bama from Selma to F1omaton; it built the Alabama and Florida from Georgiana through the Wiregrass: it purchased and rebuilt the Bay Minette and Fort Nor gan: it has recently constructed the Tus- caloosa Mineral, and will soon have it ready for operation. It Is making other extensions.
