Up to People of Iowa.
In few other states have the rail-
roads had larger share in progress
and development than in loWa-a
state which stands without a peer
agriculturally and which has within
its borders IL greater diversified per
capita wealth and less of poverty
than any other state i'll the union.
Surely such a great commonwealth,
the broadmindedness OF whose peo-
pie is q byword throughout the ma
tion, cannot afford to treat unfairly
the millions Of outside capital which
have been invested in her network
of railroads and without which her
position among the sisterhood of
states would have been impossible
Splendid as has been our progress
in the past, Iowa still stands merely
upon the threshold of her true pos
sibilities and during the next twenty
five years our farm and industrial
wealth should be increased by many
hundreds OF millions OF dollars. That
we, however, still need millions OF
outside capital and that these millions
win not be Forthcoming unless We
treat fairly every dollar which has
been honestly invested i'll our indus
tries should be apparent to every
thoughtful citizen.
In the end, all the people and the
industries of the state, great or small,
must rise or fall together-for in the
final analysis we are all dependent
upon each other. Thus, the welfare
of the town and it's surrounding
farms depend upon a spirit Of kind
ly cooperation between those who
live in town and those who live
upon the farm. Without splendid

True, with rapidly increasing cost
OF operation on the one hand and re-
duced rates on the other, it was mere
ly q matter of time until the railroad
question was bound to become press

the seas has suddenly resolved into
ian acute crisis problem which might
otherwise have been solved gradually
and without any far reaching indus
trial disturbances.
The United States is heavy debtor
nation. During the average year our
balance of trade against the rest of
the world amounts to approximately
$500 100000, but on top of this we
always owe approximately another
$500, 900 900 which heretofore we have
been able to stand Off by selling Eu-
rope industrial securities to that
amount. Now. however, the great
warning countries have served notice
that they not only expect lis to pay
our debts above our trade balances in
gold but that in addition they look
to us to buy back from them hundreds

course these suggestions are radical
and yet, is this not in, substance
what the state of Iowa is forcing upon
her railroads when it names the rates
they may charge without taking the
increased cost of labor, fuel, taxes,
etc, into consideration? Is it not
equally as unfair? Is there anything
about railroad which places it above
the memorable law of cause and ef-
feet? Well might they exclaim with
Shylock in his pathetic defense of the
Jew, IF you prick u.s., do we not
bleed? Ii you tickle us, do We not
laugh? Ii you poison us, do we not
die?"
In this connection we wish to
gress for moment TO quote some
statistics which should have had a
place in a former article. 1t costs an
average of Z mills per mile to haul a
ton OF freight in the United States,
whereas in England it costs 2.33 cents,
in Germany 1.42 cents and in France
la cents. In the United States the
average wages paid to railroad en-
ployees is 1928 per day. in England
$1.15 and in Germany and France not
over 81 per day. The English rail
roads are capitalized at $265,0O0 per
mile, in France at $4,000 per mile,
in Germany at $11t,1S5. while in the
United States<the stock and bond cap
italization averages only $4,000 per
mile. In view of this remarkable con-
parison, do American railroads de-
serve the wholesale denunciation
which has been heaped upon them?
