overpopulated and France has all the peo- pie it needs, but from another standpoint it may be a distinct menace insofar as it encourages an attitude toward life which in the end is likely to lead to a decline of national vigor. The eugenists ought to be able to find in the F'rendh situation a practical test of their theory that quality Is better than quantity. In the pending war taeF may discover data which will rrove illuminng and which would settle finally the question whether thrift or population counts more in time of stress.

the stability of the price and market
for its cotton crop. While the tonnage
of this staple represents compare
lively small percentage of the total
tonnage hauled by this company, any
disturbance which affects its sale has
far-reaching influence on business
generally, as it limits the purchasing
power of the producer.
while the company may be expect
! ed to suffer alike with other forms of
industry in the south, it behooves it
to set an example of patience and
fortitude, which qualities, together
with faith in the future, are most
needed in this period of distress.
I'm such a crisis, when more than
ever it is apparent that the interests
of the railway company are indentical
with those of the public 1t serves and
that 1t can prosper only as the COM
munities which it serves develop and
grow. it is gratifying to be able to
state that there has never been a time
within its history when the relations
of Southern railway company were
more close and cordial with the peo-
pie of the south than now The de-
termination of the management at all
times to deal frankly and fairly with
the public has been instrumental in
bringing about this condition. The
era of suspicion and distrust on the
part of the public seems to be nearing
an end. and the purposes and ideals
of the company are beginning to be
understood and approved No better
omen for the future of the company
can be found than that discernible in
the growing goodwill in the public
mind.
"The faithfulness, loyalty and abil-
ity of its officers and employees con-
stitute one of the prime assets of
Southern railway company. In ten
dering its thanks to each officer and
employee for the faithful and intelli-
gent service rendered during the past
year, the board desires to express its
qualification at the high marole that
obtains among the great number of
individuals in the rank and file, and to
record its confidence in and its appre-
citation of the men making up the or
ganization. Not only departmental
unity. but individual loyalty exists
AS a result cooperation among the
officers and the men and between the
men themselves has been developed
to an extraordinary high degree. This
growing spirit of cohesiveness and
unity of purpose is source of pride
to the management and foretellS &c;
the future better results both for the
public and the company. Individual
membership in an organization of
such generally recognized ability and
high character may well be, as it is,
considered badge of honor"

SUBMITS HIS
ANNUAL REPORT
TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Thinks the Depression is Temper
airy and Is Optomistie as
to the Future.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 1S.-At the An
nual meeting of the stockholders o.
Southern railway company in this city
today, President Harrison submitted
twentieth annual report of the com,
pany.
Referring to the actual result of the
operations for the year and the finan-
cial condition of the company at the
close of the year, as shown by the in.
come statement and the general bal
ance sheet, and with special reference
to an increase in operating expenses
of 4.76 rer cent, compared with an in
crease of only LAT per cent in opera
ting revenues, the report says:
1.-THE slackening in the general vol
uaae of business done in the United
States, which has been so marked dur
ing the past year, was felt last of all
in the south, but had become part OF
the problem of management of this
company with the opening of the cal
endar year 1914. The high level of ex-
pense f operation is maintained not
so much by any natural economic law,
not by any deliberate intention or ne
elect of management, as by general
social tendencies which are in sub
stantial measure abnormal and be-
yond control of management. 1t can
hardly be expected that the operation
of an American railroad shall be again
on normal basis unless, and until,
the question of the railroads shall
cease to be a factor in American poll
ties. To state this fact is but to re-
peat the statement of the contempor-
1sE plight of the railroads which has
been so frequently urged upon the
American public in recent years. 1t
is mentioned here simply to illustrate
its application to the fortunes of
Southern Railway Company"
Referring to the fact that for the
year the company paid out for taxes
$3.50, 38967, an increase of $199, 002.-
SO over the previous year, or SOP per
cent, as compared with an increase of
1.47 per cent in operating revenues,
the report says:
Special attention would not under
ordinary circumstances be called to
the question of taxes, but the growth
OF the item is becoming serious. The
nature and use of railroad property
make its earning power the obviously
fair test of its duty to contribute to
the support of government. 1t is ex-
pected that reasonable increases may
be looked for as the revenues in
crease, but the current practice of ar
bitrary assessment of nominal value
upon railroad property for the pur-
pose of taxation and the ease with
which such assessed values can be in
creased have made such property a
main source of securing additional
governmental revenue, for purposes
upon which the owners of railway
property are not consulted. That the
taxes of this company have been in
creased out of proportion to the in
crease in its revenues will be appar-
emit from the following statement of a
