this was inconsiderate.

1914, filed with this Commission
application for permission to dis
continue trains No. q and q,
operating between Folsom and
North Slidell, La, on what is
known as it's shore Line, and
trains No. 81 and 90, operating
between Rio, La, and Tylertown
Miss, on the Bogue Cbitto
Branch, and also trains No. 10
and 16, between Rio and Boga-
lusa, these being the same as
trains No. 80 and 81, taking these
different train numbers between
Rio and Bogalusa.
Before the case was heard, the
application was amended so as to
include the discontinuance of
trains, No, SO and 81, instead of
trains No. 81 and 80, as the Com.
mission might determine,
Accordingly, as full investiga-
ton has been made by the Com
mission, in which the people
have been given an opportunity
to present fully their views to
the Commission, and in which
the company has been required
to furnish the Commission with
the fullest statistical data re-
garding the financial and oper.
ating conditions of it's Louisiana
lines.
It is unnecessary for US to re.
view in detail the figures which
have been presented; it suffices
to say that we are convinced that
the New Orleans Great Northern
Railroad Company is entitled to
the relief it seeks.
Before this action by the Com
mission became necessary, the
company has by every means
within its power reduced it's
operating expenses to the point
beyond which they cannot be
further reached except by this
discontinuance of some of the
trains which it now operates.
The freight service IS automatic

mess falls off. Passenger trains,
however, are operated on their
daily schedule, irrespective OF
the amount of business they
handle. 1t is shown by the evil
dence that the company has never
been able to pay a dividend onits
capital stock, because it's surplus
has been used in making neces-
sary improvements, and in the
up.keep of it's property. The
conpany's properties have been
kept in q good condition, and the
operation of the road has been
satisfactory. it's service in all re-
spects having been performed
without complaint to the Com
mission. In economy of opera.
ton, the New Orleans Great
Northern Railroad has stood
third out of thirty seven rail
roads operated in the territory
south of the Ohio River.

ably and fairly accommodate the

Railroad operations have not
the latitude enjoyed by private
corporations, in that they are
compelled to continue operation
of their lines, although at a loss,
while private corporations may
close down their plants or cur.
tail their operating expenses in
any manner they see fit, without
official interference; but the Com.
mission cannot within its authori-
ty require the railroad company
to do that which is unreasonable,
and in the light of the facts pre-
scented in this case, it would be
unreasonable in the extreme to
require the continuance Of the
operation of all Of the passenger
train service which has been pre-.
viously operated, and which was
necessary when conditions on the
line were prosperous.
1t is our opinion that railroads
should bear their burden of the
depression which now and then
overtake the country. as they
likewise share in its prosperity.
But when a railroad company has
acted in perfect good faith, and
before coming to the Commission
has exhausted every means in its
power to reduce its operating OK.
penses, and is still abba to operate
it's service only at Il loss, thereby
facing a deficit which will eventu.
ally prevent it from properly per-
forming its functions, or perhaps
throw it into the hands of a re-
ceiver, the Commission is con-
strained to grant its reasonable
request to discontinue some of it's
train service which, while it will
result in Inconvenience, will not
deprive the publico of reasonable
means Of travel On other trains
which will not be disturbed.
| The Commission has already
recognized the necessity for re.
ducing train service on two i'm
portant truck line railroads in
the state OF Louisiana. In the
matter of the application of the
lSouthern Pacific Lines for re-
duction in passenger train service,
this company was permitted to
discontinue several trains on
branch liz and on the main
lime, until such time as to warrant
their re-establishment. The.
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pa
cific Railway Company has been
given permission to take off q
local train running on it's main
line under the same conditions.
We cannot deny to the New Or
leans Great Northern Railroad
Company some relief to which it
has plainly shown itself to be en-
titled. AS to which of the two
trains now operated on the Bogue.
Chitto Branch should be discon.
tiued. this is a matter which the
Commission will leave to the
basiness Judgment Of the COM
pany; and the company will be
expected to discontinue either
trains 81 and 80, or trains SO and
"a, operating on the Bogua Chit
to Branch or on the main line be-
tween Rio and Bogalusa.
