OUR BEST RAILROAD
TNVESTNI ENT

Approving a substantial increase OF
railroad freight rates in eastern tel
ritory, the interstate commerce com
mission did what it might properly
have done in August when it refused
the advance except in the west, says
the New York World. Unhappily for
all concerned, the decision at that
time, long delayed, came at the be-
ginning Of the greatest of wars and
attended PROSTATE exchange and cred
it and paralyzed commerce and in
dustry.
| What was denied then is granUec
Inow chiefly because Of wars effects
upon capital, never more in demand
by our transportation interests than
now, While one new reason is thus
given for the action taken, the argu
ments presented earlier retain al
their original force.
No matter how big the bag may be
q
| IL empty it is hard for It to stand
straight. Land transportation is our
greatest single industry. We have in
round numbers 250.OOO miles of track
In this business there is an invest
ment of at least $1S,OOO,O0O,OOO. The
number of employees normally is moi
less than 100000. who with their
families and dependents represent per
haps Z or s per cent, of our popula-
,,tion.
Many things besides war have help
ed to empty the bag. There have
lbeen numerous instances Of radical
lswmaking by states affecting earn

THE RIGHT MAN

In selecting Professor NJ. r. Con
zales for agricultural expert and ad
wiser to the farmers Of san Miguel
and Mora counties the New Mexico
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Art chose the right man for the place,
The commissioners of both counties
are congratulating themselves upon
having had sufficient foresight to real
ize the wisdom Of making an appro-
priation toward paying the salary Of
such man. Professor Gonzales has
been at work only few weeks, but
nc has succeeded, in that brief time,
in accomplishing great deal of good

ings as well as outlays. Wages have
risen. Taxes have risen. With the
states beating down rates and adding
to expenses by demands for improved
service or for the relief of employees
or communities, and no help appear
ing at Washington, the railroads have
approached the point of collapse, part
Ily because they had deficient earnings
and partly because, with credit nee
essarily impaired, they could borrow
only on difficult terms.
The new decision is expected to
add many millions year to the reve-
rues Of the railroads involved, but
of much greater Importance than this
is the sentimental effect Of 1t. We
now perceive that public regulation
need not always be minatory. Some
times it may be just and generous.
The power that can cut rates may oc-
casionally increase them. Our num-
erous legislatures and commissions
are not invariably to tap the bag.
When circumstances admit of it, they
may put something into it.
There can be no question that the
hardships suffered by transportation,
due in no small measure to its own
fault, are responsible for consider
able portion of our recent business de-
preston. When an interest SO great
as this is afflicted for any cause, the
effects must be felt in every walk OF
life. If it suffers uniustly,, the con
sequences are certain to be all the
more deplorable
With larger earnings, the railroads
should have improved credit. With
improved credit, the expansion inn
peratively needed to keep pace with
the growth of the country ought nc
longer to be restricted With a bet
ter understanding between the people
and the corporations as masters and
servants, the comparatively small in
crease in the price of transportation
which is now to be added to the bur
dens of consumers may easily prove
to be the best Of all the many in
vestments that we have publicly made
in railroad enterprises.
