OUR PUBLIC FORUM
Il.--C. E. Johnson 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 oi carrying a passenger a mile. The State, however. contended that the railroad was earning enough surpius on its state freight business to give fair return upon the capital used Tn
 it's passenger as we'll as it's frelght
 business. For the purposes of the
 case, the railroad did not deny this,
 State could not segregate it's pas
 senger business for rate fixing with
 out allowing 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 Su-
 preme Court It's decision responds
 to the judgment of the fair-minded
 sentiment of the country. The Su- preme Court says that, even though
 a railroad earns a surplus on a par
 ticular commodity by charging req sonable rates, that affords no reason for compelling it to haul anothers
 person or property for less than cost The surplus from a 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 a wholesome one and demonstrates that the ordinary rules of fair dealing apply to railway com panies The fact that one makes surplus on his wheat crop would never be urged as reason for com polling him to sell his cotton at less than cost It 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 reafflrmed the homely maxim that each tub must stand upon it's own bottom"
The Huttig news., 1915-06-19

One of the alarming effects of war is just making itself evident in France. May, 1914, showed births in Paris of $500; in May, 1915, the number dwindled to l. 900. As has been pointed out by students of warfare since the world began, the evil which follows the battle is far more terrible and de- teriorating than the carnage itself. Generations yet unborn-and if the European war continues long enough there is little likelihood of a prosterity, so far as numbers are concerned-will pay the penalty for this cataclysm which began last August. What France finds is happening to her birth-rate un- doubtedly exists in other nations at war.
The Huttig news., 1915-06-19

states have two cent passenger rate and whatever loss is incurred is recOv- 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 contested the case to briefly review the suit. Mr. Johnson said in part:
 Some ten years ago, passenger fares were fixed by the legislatures of a large number of states at two cents a mile. AS a 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 a 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 It's accounting during these two years showed that two cents a mile per passenger barely paid the out-of-pocket cost and noth- ing was left to pay any return on capital invested. It sought relief from the courts. Expert accountants for
