states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred is recoy-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
tice of such procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
of West Virginia and the decision is
SO far-reaching that we have asked
l.. E. Johnson, president of the Nor
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit. Mr.. Johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
cents mile. AS basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made of the cost of doing the
business SO regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such rate would yield to the rail-
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class of business.
Such a law was passed in West
Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained it for
two years. Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents a mile per passenger barely
paid the out-of-pocket cost and moth
ing was left to pay any return on
capital invested 1t sought relief from

has written an article dealing with
the financing Of railroads. He said
in part:
"The financing of a railroad is a
function which the people, through
their servants, the Railroad Coramis-
sioners and the Legislators, have
never attempted, but it is most i'm
portant problem, especially to sec
tons of State where new railroads
are needed. The placing of securities
has been left entirely with the pro
moter and owner of railroads.

what earnings the railroad shall be
permitted to receive and what bur-
! dens it shall have put on it is in the
hands Of other servants of the public

On Financing Railroads

the Legislators and the Commits
sioners.
Managing railroad is quite differ
ent from managing government
where the money is raised by taxa
ton. When the expenditures, for
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 a 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 few years, break
down, unless the railroads are allowed
to earn larger funds whereWith to
build it 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 tc
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 tc
meet the increased capital charges"

On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims of the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost Of
carrying passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on it's state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used in
it's passenger as well as it's freight
business. For the purposes of the
case, the railroad did not deny this,
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the SUI
preme Court. Its decision responds
to the judgment of the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The SUI
preme Court says that, even though
a railroad earns a surplus on par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from reasonable rate
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
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost
The decision is wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for COM
polling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost In this case the
court reaffirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon its
own bottom

some girls uOnG WANT 10 marry
Never!
Even II they are brave enough
to come right out and say so, you
answer: "Oh, as pretty a girl as
YOU not want to marry? Impos-
sible!"
Just as IL the only reason any
girl might give for not wanting to
marry was the horrible fear that
she might not get asked!
The whole system of bringing
up daughters Is wrong. Why not
teach girls from the first some
thing like this:
''If you should be fortunate
enough to find man of sound
principles, one who was high
minded and honorable and cbival-
rOus because he had respect unto
his own soul and not for public
opinion, you might love him and
make him happy wife. But II
yon never find such an one, do
not imagine that a single life is
miserable. Respect yourself suf-
ficiently and live alone IL IL

We'd, not pitied. And, whether
she marTies or not, It is her own
business! No GEORGIAN need tempt
you to make a mistake, for which
you viii be sorry just once, but
that once will be aIways."
If mothers preached that to
their little daughters. instead of
teaching them all the SNOWY arts
and graces which turn so many
girls into shameless man-traps,
there would be fewer wretched
marriages from which both are
eager to escape.
