both the State and the Railway Com.

railroad were sustained by the facts,
Two cents did not pay the cost of
carrying a passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give
fair return upon the capital used in

business. For the purposes of the
case, the railroad did not deny this,

sufficient to pay the cost OF doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing tho business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the SUI
preme Court. It's decision responds
10 the judgment of the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The Su-
preme Court says that, even though

for compelling it 10 haul another's

properly belongs to the railway com
pany. If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may

to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that enc makes

Ill---JuIius kruttsChnitt
On Financing Railroads

the Legislators and the Commits
sioners.
Managing railroad is quite differ
ent from managing a government
where the money is raised by taxa
ton. When the expenditures, for
good reasons or otherwise, increase,
taxes can be equally increased The
railroads, while servants of the pub
lie, cannot raise money with such
ease and facility. The railroads must
keep their expenditures within their
incomes because while they have
some control over their expenditures
they have almost no control over their
incomes, their rates being fixed by
public authorities.
There is not railway manager in
the country today who is not fearful
that under the press of increasing de-
mands the transportation systems Of
the country will, in a few years, break
down, unless the railroads are allowed
to earn larger funds wherewith to
build 1t up. There are vast sections
of the country, especially in the West,
where more railroads are needed and
they cannot be built unless the rail
ways raise new capital.
People invest money in order to
make money, and they are skeptical
as to whether they can make money
by investing in concerns that are dealt
with stringently and unfairly. Rail-
road securities must be made more
attractive to invite investments, and
in order that they may be made more
attractive, the roads must be allowed
earnings that will enable them to
meet the increased capital charges"

NEGROES AS HEALTH OFFICERS.

A Southern university man, writing
in the Southern Workman, advocates
the employment of Negroes as health
officers among their people. He says:
THE Southern white man probably
realizes but imperfectly just how
much natural segregation of the races
has taken place in our Southern
cities. Even domestic servants now
very frequently live some distance
away from the houses in which they
serve. Close personal relations be-
tween whites and blacks have almost
ceased to exist With this separation
has come the need of Negroes for
help from members of their own race.
A band of well-trained physicians has
already come among them to help in
filling the need of physical welfare.
Many of these men must realize more
clearly than others what must be
done to preserve Negro health. Many
of them would doubtless be more
than willing to be of service in the
cause of public health among the
members of their own race.
The opportunity for such service
might be offered, with beneficial re-
suits to both races, were one Negro
physician or sanitary expert in ev-
