THE SERIOUS CRISIS
WHICH CONFRONTS
MISSOURI RAILROADS
Facts of Vital Interest to Every
Farmer, Business Man and
Citizen of the State.

The present series of articles is
perhaps the first instance in
which the railroads of a great
state have gone direct to the far
mer, the business man and the
citizen generally to discuss with
them in frank and candid man.
ner this great problem which, in
it's varied phases, so vitally eff
fects the welfare of every man,
woman and child in the land. The
average American voter wants
to be fair about any public ques-
ton and he is, once he fully un-
derstands the surrounding prem
ises-and thus, had the rail
roads of Missouri and other
states taken their troubles di-
rectly to the people some years
ago, the chances are we would
not be confronted with the stag
nation which has gripped the
business world for some time
past and which, unless remedied
in the near future threatens
utter industrial paraly s is
throughout the country.
Every railroad official in the
Nation today is doing every
thing in his power not only tC
obey the mandates of the Inter.
State Commerce Commission anC
the different Public Service Com
missions, but also to aid anC
facilitate their work in every
possible way. AS evidence Of
this statement, we cite the fol
lowing facts with reference tt
the situation in Missouri: Ii
1907 the Legislature of thi
State enacted 2-cent passenge
fare and also greatly reduced
freight rates upon a number O.
important items. The rail
roads appealed and won thei
case in the trial court. There
upon the state appealed to tn
Supreme Court of the U. S. ant
that high tribunal reversed tn
case without prejudice to tn
railroads on the ground that tn
valuation of the properties ha
not been properly established
1t did not say by its decision, a
is commonly supposed by man,
people, that a two-cent passen
ger fare is adequate in Missouri
or that present freight rates i
this state are fairly remunera
tive.

Had the railroads of Missouri
cared to do so, they could have
filed new suits the day after the
Supreme Court made its decis-
ion. Instead, however, they
chose to make the best of the sit
uation. They met with the Pub
lie Service Commission at JEFF
ferson City and agreed to give
the reduced rates a thorough
trial-and today, instead of go
ing to the courts for relief, they
are laying their troubles before
the people and the Commission
with full confidence in their
sense of fairness and in the be-
lief that they will be willing to
grant such an advance in rates
as will enable the railroads to
continue to give good service and
to play their great part in the
further development of the state.
Present Situation in a Nut
Shell.
Briefly speaking, the present
series of articles has sought to
establish the following facts;
First, that the closing of the
European money markets, add
ed to their already heavy bur-
dens, has suddenly brought A.
merican railroads face to face
with the gravest crisis in their
history-and hence the recent
appeal of President Wilson.
Second, that contrary to pub
lie opinion, American railroads
are owned by nearly two million
investors, large and small, rath.
er than by a few rich men il
Wall Street or elsewhere.
Third, that hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars of the assets O-
our old line life and fire insur
ance companies, savings banks
benevolent associations, ETC., ar,
invested in railroad securitie
and that when you destroy tn
value of these securities you af
, feet the welfare of millions o
holders of life insurance policie
and bank depositors.
Fourth, that the railroads ar
the largest employers of labor
buyers of steel, fuel, lumber an
other supplies and the larges
taxpayers in the Nation, an
that for this reason they con
|, stitute the very cornerstone O
the Country's prosperity.
Fifth, that while the product
of the farmer, the manufacture
the laboring man and all kind
of materials have advanced i
, cost by leaps and bounds durin
