ABOUT RAILROADS

REQUIREMENTS BY SAVING
MONEY NOW.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 21.---
President Ripley. OF the Santa Fe
system, appeared before the State
railroad commission today to argue
against the proposed reduction of ex-
press rates. The inquiry took wider
range than was expected, and Ripley
was carried into many features Of
railroad management
Referring TO the express business
he said;
The express business, next after
the contracts for carrying the mails,
is the least lucrative business OF. the
Santa Fe system. If you decrease
our revenue from the express bust
ness, you cut into our margin OF
safety"
A naive and unexpected confession
was made by Ripley during an ex-
PLANTATION of the reasons which
prompt the big railroads TO store up
the greatest portion of their earn
ings in surplus funds, instead of dis
tribution them as increased divi-
dends.
There isn't much in this country
vet in the way of railroads, he said
cit is almost true that in the United
States we have only imitation rail-
roads.
Our present properties are not
constructed to stand the strain OF fu-
t1ire requirements. INtrts railroads Oh

very costly Improvements in the Iu-
ture.'

believe in public ownership OF rail-
