Managing a railroad is quite differ

good reasons or otherwise. increase.
taxes can be equally increased The
railroads. while servants OF a.. pub
lie. cannot raise money Uita such

keep their expenditures within their
incomes because while they nave

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"
