SECURITY FOR RAIL
ROAD INDEBTEDNESS

One of the questions periodically adj
dressed to this newspaper is whether
the bonded indebtedness of the Amer
lean railroads, admittedly growing all
the time, will ever be paid off, and
whether its constant increase is not
portentous, implying collacse if, and
when, it comes to what one correspon-
dent calls showdown. 4" The idea
is founded upon a misunderstanding of
the nature of a railroad mortgage. 1t
can be renewed, and the creditor is Sc
cured in his principal and interest at
the date his bond natures.
But the railroads are not borrowing
so fast as the value of their property
is growing. The security in that re-
spect at least is as a whole irreproaeh-
able, for the American railroads are
capitalized at less than 100000 a mile,
which is not half that of the state
owned roads of Germany, and scarce
ly tfth of the British capitalization,
and the British railroads can borrow
money on better terms than ourselves,
except perhaps for one or two roads of
the very highest class.
Our railroads are not running into
debt like the spendthrift eating up his
capital. They are borrowing money on
mortgage because they can use such
capital proftahly in their business. If
the time ever came when our railroads
ceased to earn return for their
stockholders, after paying the inter
est on borrowed money, then some
thing like showdown would happen.
This, indeed, has happened in the past,
and the usual solution for the prob
lem has been receivership, in which
the bondholders foreelosed their
mortgage ON the default of the inter
est. These, however, were only indi-
vidual cases.
Our railroads are in no danger, and
they could, in fact, use to great ad-
vantage much more than the investor
seems willing to send them at present.
Their security is excellent, and this
country is far from approaching the
limit of its development. Great areas
even near home are poorly served, and,
as consequence, undeveloped. There
are thousands of square miles in
Maine covered with trees which wait
but the extension of the railroad to
become part of the finest potato farm
ing country in the Union. Not long
ago the president of one of the road
running into Jersey City said that
he could place bond issue at a reas
enable rate, he could in few wears
clear 10 per cent for his stockholders.
