RAILROAD OWNERSHIP AND
THE MANY INTERESTED
m Y. Financial Chronicle,

On Y. Financial Chronic1e.)
A man who evidently signs his true
name and speaks sincerely writes to
the New York Sun that he has lately
read that in the United States there
are outstanding 80 millions of life in
surance policies and he should think
the future benef1ciaries under these
must number at least so millions The
companies doing business in Connect
cut reported outstanding a year ago
about IL millions Of policies, be-
sides "a 1-2 millions of Industrial; al
lowing for the increase in 1912 and for
the business held by many companies
not licensed in the principal Eastern
States, the estimate of SO millions is
plainly within reasonable bounds. And
although many persons have more
than one policy, it is clear that the
estimate Of so millions as the number
of prospective widows and orphans
interested in the welfare of life in
surance is very moderate and prob
ably too small.
This man tells the Sun that he late
ly received the annual report of one
company in which he is policy hold
er, and he noticed that of its 20 mil
lions of assets more than II millions
| are railway stocks and bonds; there
| fore, as the point and occasion of his
note, he asks if it is not thigh time
our statesmen in Washington quit
hitting at RAILROADS.&C.
A year ago the life insurance COM
panies doing business in this CNew
York; State reported about 3,942 mil
lions of assets of which about 1868
millions were stocks and bonds own
ed. The largest New York company
has no stocks, and the stocks owned
by others are Of various classes; the
bonds as reported also include State
| and municipal, and to separate the
railway from the totals would be a
considerable task The stocks and
bonds owned were about At per cent.
of assets however, and we estimate
the railway proportion 20 per cent.
of assets, that will be a reasonably
safe approximation and close enough
for the purpose. The savings banks
of this State report their railway
bonds separately, and at the end of
1911 those were a little more than 10
per cent. of total resources. There
are other insurance companies, be-
sides educational, religious and ben
evolent institutions, all Of which are
for public benefit and are practically
public property, founded financially in
considerable part upon railway secur-
tiles. Whether the exact portion of
their resources thus invested is an
average of 20 per cent. or a little less
or more, it suffices for the purpose
that as a broad statement, the pub
lie institutions of the country are
financially resting on railways in con-
siderable part, and that II railway
credit continues to fall, they will be
more seriously affected than it is easy
to realize.
Bring any man in the land face to
face with the question, and he can
be made without much difficulty to
see and admit that the country can
not live and thrive without railway
service, and that this service cannot
be efficient unless the roads live and
thrive; indeed, as we have already
pointed out, the bitterest antagonist
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-04-11

of the roads is as loud and quick as
anybody else in insisting upon good,
safe and constantly safer and more
efficient service. Duty owed by the
carriers is a very lively proposition, but
duty owed to them is a very sluggish
ly-recognized one, grudgingly admit
ted as an abstract doctrine but sturdi-
ly opposed as to concrete application.
We can suggest no more probable
explanation than one already offered,
namely, that the average man is very
slow to realize any personal concern
in the subject. He admits it all, he
sees it, but does not feel it is some
thing which touches himself. The rea-
son may be that he still conceives Of
railways as owned by very wealthy
men, especially by wall Street." and
how erroneous the common notions Of
Wall Street are can be read in the
conduct and the report of the Pujo
Committee The fact is that actuaI
railway ownership through the stock
Is very widely scattered, and that in
stead of the roads belonging to some
alien interests, naturally Indifferent
to or distinct from the general pros
perity, they are as intimately a part
of general prosperity as the arms are
part of human body. It is not the
roads on one side and the people on
the other. The roads belong to the
people"

HAVE A PURPOSE IN YOUR FARM
ING

PROFESSIONALLY the main reason
why many farmers make such a poor
showing and accumulate so little is to
be found in the fact that they have
no definite purpose in their farming.
They do not know what they are try
ing to do. Their main crop this year
may be cotton, next year it may be
corn, another year it may be some
thing else. They may "gO into" hogs
when prices are high, and out again
when prices get low. They do not
know even now what crops are to 60
in the different fields next year. and
they have only the vaguest sort OF
idea as to what they will have to dis
post of next fall or next spring.
This sort of farming will never sue
coed. The first thing for the farmer
to do in planning his work is to de
eide what particular line of farming
he will follow. Ii he is going to make
cotton or peanuts or hogs or dairy
products. or anything else, his main
dependence for cish. he must plan his
rotation, lay out his fields and arrange
his work with a view to making this
speciality as profitable as possible
Then he can give attention to the
best methods of handling the 9th, |
crops and other lines of work
Judicious specialization, or at least
judicious arrangement of crops and
work with a definite end in view, is
the only safe plan for the farmer to
follow. This is not incompatible with
proper rotation and diversifcation. In
fact it is a most essential part of il
Haphazard rotation, uncertain aims
constantly changing plans must give
way on thousands of our southern
farms to definitely planned progress
toward a determined end, before any
high degree of prosperity is reach
