Big Problem Is Now Up for

CAPITAL is NEEDED
ny c. E. STEWART

Washington, November 2L-(Specialo
There are many public men who are de-
cidedly in favor of the interstate com
merce commission granting the railroads
the per cent increase in freight rates
: which they are now contending for before
that body.
1t is pointed out that since there has
been such a material advance in the ali
costs-that the railroads are possibly the
only concerns who have been unable 10
profit thereby. on the contrary for the
past several years while everything else
has been going up-the railroads nave
had their sources of revenue curtailed,
and now they claim at least that they
are at a point where tits no longer proht-
able to operate their lines, and they can
offer capital no inducement to invest IN
their securities. and therefore improve
ment is at a standstill.
Notwithstanding the abuses the pablie
has received at the hands of the railroads
in the days that are gone there ls TO
justification in imposing burdens upon
those great organizations which have de-
veloped the country. which they cannot
bear, and which would cripple their oper-
ations. They are entitled to reasonable
interest on their investment, and they
must earn something above this In order
that they may maintain the great sys-
TENS of commerce and continue, to eX-
pand." declared close observe of com
mercial conditions in Washington today.
IF the railroads can make good case
before the interstate commerce com
mission they ought to be granted the in
crease"
Must Have Capital
S In their brief before the commission the
railroads declare:
while the carriers fully recognize and
acknowledge their obligations to the pub
lie. and are alive to the responsibilities
so imposed, they are helpless to fulfill
these obligations, unless the financial ce-
suit of their operation is such as to IN
spire the confidence of private capital,
and the result of operation during the
past three years is not such as to inspire
the one or encourage the other.
1T is a mistake" continues the brlef,
ito think that this problem is merely a
question of dividends to railroad stock
holders. although that feature Is of course
involved ~SThe problem in a broad, true
sense effects all interests. and the out
come of this particular ease-whicheNer
way it isNdecided-will mark an epoch,
because it will, in effect, very largely de-
termine whether we shall as in the past

We have taken account of the sew
eral national organizations of farm
ers since the fall of the southern Con-
federacy.
The first in course of genesis was
the National Grange of Patrons of
Husbandry. This order was founded
in Ohio in 1866 by Kelley, clerk In
the patent office of the government at
Washington, encouraged by the ini-
tial of President Johnson.
The Inspiration OF an idea so COM
prenhensive and aggressive was more
of political reform in nature than of
economic advancement The scheme
was one only of President Andrew
Johnscn's expedients, resorted to in his
desperate official attitude soon follow
ing Appomattox. To stay and reverse
the radicalism of the sectional frag-
ment of Congress, then in practical
possession of the sword and purse, was
the task before the President
The process of the Presidents scheme
was in the separation of the conserva-
tive farmer element of the electorate
from the grand aggregate at the polls.
The grange was national not section
al. Its membership excluded all but
farmers yet the organization invited
to membership the wives and daugh-
ters of farmers. The condition pre-
cedent to the separation of the farmer
vote from the aggregate vote was in
the perfected organization of farmers
to the exclusion of all other men.
The grange was in rapid growth in

in this trying time, when two contend
ing legislatures sat in Montgomery.
when the capitol was DETAINED by the
presence of federal troops, when the
supreme court pronounced miscegena-
tion lawful-there can be no doubt the
grange and its associations proved a
safety valve.
We have discovered the farmers al
lance in Its origin in Texas and
marked the rapid contemporary growth
of the later order in Ala bama, yieing

We have seen that in November,
1889, the Farmers National congress
met in the capitol at Montgomery, that
the state commissioner of agriculture,
Capt. r. F. Kolb, was president, and
that this was the largest agricultural
meeting perhaps that ever assembled
in the United States Delegates attend

requirements, or be compelled to accent
the only alternative possible"
FROM this statement 1t is assumed that
the railroads have reached the conclusion
that If they can no longer operate their
roads at profit they are ready that the
government take them over and that of a
necessity this must be the result unless
they obtain relief.
1T is recognized. of course. that rail-
read expansion and improvements must
go on continues the brief, "and any ten
dency or condition that threatens to ser1-
ously check, If not completely stop such
ously check, If not completely stop. such

that fact, matter of vital Importance.
Wizards Opening Argument
| Daniel Willard. president of the Balti-
more and Ohio, who made the opening
argument before the commission declared
that; THE immediate and all important
| question is. how shall these railroads OBJ
tain the new capital necessary if they
are to provide the needed facilities and
| furnish the hgh-grade service which the
public demands and to which the public
! is properly entitled?"
| 1t is conceded that the interstate COM
merce commission has a big question be-
| fore it. All over the country there is a
clamor of better railroad service, and
there is demand that Congress pass laws
forcing the building of all steel cars and
other safety devices for the protection of
| the public, and in addition to all these
requirements from the railroads there has
been a general tendency toward reduction
| of rates for the past several years. The
great profit that the railroads formerly
made, it is quite apparent. may soon be
| wiped out and in its place an actual de-
| felt may occur In this event certainly
| the railroads cannot induce private cap
| ital to invest its money in certain loss
no matter what conditions they may
| face-and there can be but one answer,
and that Is that If the government ex-
| poets these things to be brought about II
will have to dig up the money to accom-
plish them.
OF course it Is but natural that the rail-
roads will put up as strong an argument
as they can for their side of the question
! Still the government is in full possession
of the facts. as much so as the railroads.
and it may take time, but the true stu
alton can be found out, and 1t Is up tC
the interstate commerce commission to
ascertain and render their verdict in keep
! ing with the findings of fact.

thanksgiving in such case. First, be-
