would seem encouraging, but
looking forward, we are able to
house less than one-third of the
crop and warehouses without a
credit system use 90 per cent of
their usefulness. The problem is
a gigantic one-too great for the
farmer to solve unaided. He must
have the assistance of the bank
er, the merchant and the govern
ment.
In production we have reached
the high water mark of perfection
in the worlds history, but Our
marketing methods are most

APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for
Relief-President Wilson Di-
rects Attention of Public to
Their Needs.

The conn ee of railroad ex-
ecutives, headed by Mr.. Frank
Trumbull, representing thirty
five of the leading railroad sys-
TENS of the nation, recently pre-
sented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing
the difficulties now confronting
the railroads of the countrs and
asking for the cooperation of the
governmental authorities and the
public in supporting railroad
credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the
railroads be given additional rev.
enues..
The memorandum recites that
the European war has resulted in
general depression of business on
the American continent and in
the dislocation of credits at home
and abroad. With revenues de-
creasing and interest rates in
creasing the transportation sys-
TENS of the country-,face a most
serious crisis and the memoran-
dunn is a strong presentation of
the candle burning at both ends
and the perils that must ultimate
ly attend such a conhagration
when the flames meet is apparent
to all. In their general discussion
the railroad representatives say
in part: "By reason of legisla-
tion and regulation by the Fed
eral Government and the forty
eight states acting. independently
of each OF. IS we'll as through
the action OF & -fong public opin-
ion, railroad expenses in recent
years have vastly increased. No
criticism is here made OF. the gen.
eral theory of governmental regu-
lation, but on the other hand, no
ingenuity can relieve the carriers
of expenses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmit
ting the memorandum of the rail-
road presidents to the public,
characterizes it as "a lucid state
ment Of plain truth" The Pres
ident recognizing the emergency
as extraordinary, continuing, said
in, part:
~You ask me to call the atten-
ton of the country to the imper-
ative need that railway credits
be sustained and the railroads
helped in every possible way,
whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible OF governmental agencies
and | am glad to do so because
think the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and
the President is to be congratu-'
lated for opeaiug the gate to
new world sof effort in which
everyone may cooperate.
There are many important
problems in our complex civili-
cation that will yield to co-opera-
ton which will not lend them
selves to arbitrary ruling. of
commissions and financing rail-
roads is one of them. The man
with the mossY is a factor that
cannot be eliminated from any
business transaction, and the
public is an interested party that
should alWay h. consulted and
happily the Pres:~>1lt has invited
all to participate irc the solution
of our railroad ors 2lems. -.
