would be intolerable. You would have
a fiuctuating scale OF rates that would
not be well for either the public or
the railroads. Further than that. the
advances would occur when the pub
lie could least AFFORD them. and the
reductions would come when the
public needed them the least.
THE present emergency can be met
In either one of two ways: First, by
the use OF accumulated surplus, or
second. by a slight reduction In divi-
dend rates. The company that has
wisely husbanded substantial sur.
plus during the past 10 years OF un-
precedented prosperity. can now meet
the situation easily by a resort to it,
accumulated surplus. A company that
has not exercised this precaution. can
reduce It's dividend rate.
I'VE are concerned. primarily, with
the notes or funded debt maturing.
The carriers say this will amount TO
about $300.000,000 during the next
year. An increase OF IN per cent
In the interest rate on this sum
equals $4,500.000. An average reduc-
ton of onehalf to one per cent In
the dividend rate OF these same car
riers would equal $l2.500,000. which
is more than double the amount nee,
essary. II would not be asking much
to have these carriers share the bur
den of the present emergency, TO that
extent. But such reductions are only
necessary for the weaker lines.
These carriers earned enough In 1918
to pay all operating expenses. all
taxes. maintain their properties better
than ever before In their history, pay

debts. and had enough left over %

the accumulated surplus OF these
eastern carriers was $265,000. 900. The
very purpose of allowing this large
surplus to develop has been TO meet
just such a situation az now confronts

Not one OF his opponents dare make
