The Economists Point of View

Speaking as an economist before the American Society of Railway Financial Officers. at their annual meeting last week, Lewis P. Franklin set forth his reason for believing that the termination of war if it be brought about by the tri- umps of the allies, would In the course of a short time be followed by very great investment by Europe in American se curities. There would soon be released for investment about 5000, ,00o,000 because this large sum would in the event of the triumph of the allies no longer be needed each year for maintaining military expen- ditures and naval armaments. The condi- tions would be favorable for very rapid accumulation of surplus capital, and Great Britain and the continent of Fi- rope woud inevitably become very heavy purchasers of American securities.
 Mir Franklin had in view the esiec upop American securities of the action the United States is now taking and is to continue to take in meeting her for eign obligations in full and in gold or it's equivalent. That action will be sure to infuse additional credit into American securities and by reason of the rates of interest which these securities carry or the dividends which they would pre- sumably maintain they will become fa- vored investments for men of capital of Great Britain and the continent of Flu rope. This would be followed by an era of expansion and prosperity which both relatively and absolutely, will be greater than any the United States has ever sx- perienced

GOVERNOR FINDS COTTON
 PLAN IS IMPRACTICABLE

legislation to curtail the cotton crop next year.
 .son consideration and discussion of this plan said the governor. to the cor respondent of The Age-Herald. T find 1t impracticable. In the first place. in sev- era1 instances. it would require consti- tutional amendments, which would neces- sitate action by legislatures and indorse- ment by the people Then the plan could not be put into operation until date too late to be of avail in the present situation. So, we must find some other method to relieve the south, and this l hope we shall evolve at the conference of southern governors next Monday.
 In the meantime, the governor held conferences with W. P c. Harding of the federal reserve board, Senators Bank head and White. and other statesmen from Alabama

A Word From Russia

-
 It was reported in this column yesterday that representatives of Russia are seek ing to secure bids from the managers of American industries for proposition made by Russia which, if accepted. will De Followed by an export of American commodities of approximately S1,500,C00 or possibly S2000,000 money value. This is not the first ihtimation that has been re- ceived in this city that Russia expects to turn to the United Sates for commodl- ties which will enable her to make good the waste of war and to expand her in oustrles and railroad development. In London, it has been discovered that the Russian government. through it's forcing minister, M Sazonoff, is now inviting Americans to look at the great opportun- ltles which are open in Russia Until the european war began Russia was depend ent chiefly upon Germany for the prod ucts needed for the development of Rus sia's industries and in budding ,ublic works and railroads. There is to be a great development of railroad building. of public works and of natural resources in Russia, and there is an immediate de- mand for certain commodities which the United States can furnish The Russian foreign minister is qouted as having said that when war closes American and Eng fish commodities will to a great extent
  supplant those of German manufacture which before the war were imported into Russia.
 This information, which reaches the united States by way of London con- firms the intimations which have been received in this city respecting the will ingness of Russia to meet the advances of American merchants and manufactur- CTS. It contains a hint of the new spirit or understanding which is beginning to persuade so many American men of af- fairs that as soon as the financial rhaos is ended We are to have a nera of pros perity almost inconceivably great.
 On the other hand, some of the leaders in the great American industries are fear ful that the waste and dead losses oc- casioned by the European war will cie- ate a condition which will make busine. s stagnation all over the world for a long time inevitable.

RAILROAD FARES
 IN EAST AND WEST WILL BE INCREASED
New Rates Will Be Fixed on Basis of 2 1-2 Cents a Mile With Only Slight
 Variances

Washington. September 21.-Interstate passenger fares. in eastern and western territories, are to be increased soon by the railroads. The new rates will be fixed on a basis of 21a cents a mile. but will vary slightly in particular cases from that base.
 Information received by the interstate commerce commission is that the straight fare betweenA New York city and St. Louis, for instance, will be. advanced S2 The fares between New York and inter- mediate points will be based on the in- crease between the two large terminals
 The fare between New York and Chi cago will be based entirely upon a 21s cents a mile rate and so far as prac- ticable, the fares between New York and intermediate points and Chicago and in- termediate points will bear like mile- age charge. Because of the laws of some intermediate states fixing the maximum of intrastate passenger fares at 2 cents a mile, some difficulty is being experi- enced by railroad officials in working out the details of the proposed advance in interstate rates, but it is expected that these difficulties may be solved.
 Thirty Days Notice
 The new passenger tariffs, It is ex- peeted, may be in readiness to file with the commission by october l. . The law requires that notice of at least 30 days be given of any change in passenger, or freight rates, SC that, In any event. the proposed changes could not become effective before November l.
 Passenger tariffs differ materially from freight tariffs, because in each instance they must specify the rate between two points. the charges not being based, as in freight traffic. upon groups of towns or cities which take the same rates It will require considerable time. therefore. to work out the. details of what technican ly are known as point to point tariffs.
 The determination of the railroads to raise their passenger fares is direct result of the suggestion made by the in- terstate commerce commission in it's de- cision of the advance rate case. The commission expressed it's belief that the passenger traffic of railways ought to bear its proportion of the burden of sus- taining the roads and that the travelling public which demanded speed, safety comfort and luxury in passenger facili- ties ought to be willing to pay for them. Returns from passenger traffic, the com mission found, were far lower than freight traffic and inadequate when the immense amount of capital wholly de- voted to passenger facilities was consid- cred.
 What action the commission may take when the proposed increases are filed in somewhat probematical. Tt is within it's power to suspend the rates pending an inquiry in their reasonableness. It Is not unlikely that this action may be taken as it is certain a vigorous protest against the advance will be made
