most serious injuries have resulted
from the explosion of certain balls

that has been a real danger,

B. C, Forbes, Financial Expert.

There is no doubt in my mind that

NJ. Gambler Chairman Of the Georgia
Railroad Commission. commenting on
the open letter to railroad presidents
and directors written by B. {. Forbes
for The Georgian.
Mr.. Forbes suggests that the active
heads of the railroads make d full ana
frank statement of their troubles. and
send il 10 every stakeholder. bond
holder and noteholder on their books.
for the purpose of arousing public
sentiment in favor of equitable treat
ment for the railroads.
IF the railroads can make a con
vinCing showing, TO the effect that
present legislation is harassing and
present rates are not high enough 10

cies after paying dividends and fixed
charges: if the railroads can show
TO the country that they are unable to
make fair profits, ! believe the people
would be willing to pay rates which
will permit inCrea sed facilities ana
just profits" M. Gambler continued.
a campaign of publicity is the
proper course. if the railroads believe
they are misunderstood. The educd-
tion should be given the great masses
of the people. not merely the invest

this, is demonstrated by their efforts
