RAILROAD EARNINGS

nEsPITE the great prosperity" of
- which the administration boasts
so loudly and which has been
brought about by the European war,
the railroads of the country are unable
TO show abounding satisfaction with
their earnings for the year 1915. They
did, indeed. have better business
than they had in 1914, but their aver
age earnings amounted to only 800
per cent, which was less than those
of 1912-the last year in which the
railroads had anything like normal
business. That year, it will be re-
marked. was the last year of Repub-
lican administration.
To show the difference between rail-
road earnings under Democratic times
and under Republican times there are
some interesting comparisons to be
drawn from the figures in which the
above result for 1915 Is derived. In
1915 the net operating income of
American railroads increased almost
3S per cent. as compared with 1914,
but only little over . per cent. as
compared with the last Republican
year. 1t further appears that the rail-
roads profiting most by this Increase
such as it is-were those which
traverse territory wherein war babies"
are most abundant and most insistent
for transportation. Under the former
regime. when Republican policies were
in force. railroad earnings were not
only more generously, but more gem
orally. distributed.
And this brings up a question that
has been causing considerable discus
sion in financial circles. Railroad
earnings for this year are larger than
those of last-due to the rush of war
business-and it is asked why no loans
are being made for much needed con-
struction purposes. In the first place,
competition of the governments of
Europe for capital and material has
absorbed much of the idle money of
year ago and has run steel prices
up to almost prohibitive figures, but
far and away more Important than
this is the thought of a sudden decla-
ration of peace in Europe or a split
in the Republican party that might
result in a continuance of the present
misht administration at Washington
Just now the railroads are even more
in need of emergency construction tc
increase capacity than the industrlals
But they cannot bargain as the Others
do for the sale of their services. They

SHOE PRICES

! n ND now 1t is shoes that are to
n take another advance in price.
Scarcity of leather due to the
war is the cause given by the manu-
facturers. They say that shoe wearers
must pay the price" because this
increased demand for leather made by
European nations at time when
American shoe manufacturers are
unable to get the high-grade materials
which formerly came from Germany
and Austria Hungary.
Millions of pairs of shoes for the
European armies have been and still
are being made by American shoe
manufacturers, according to A. II.
Geuting, secretary of the National
Shoe Retail Dealers Association. Mr..
Geuting points out that on the
average these shoes consume one and
one-half times as much leather as the
average American mans shoes.
Knapsacks saddles, harness and
other material for the armies at war
and a general increase in equipment
of the American army and State
illlillld ACCOUNT LOT Il Sllll luTlneE ue-
mand on the none too large supply of
leather
Unquestionably, all these enter into
the situation, but we are inclined to
believe, with Congressman Kreider,
who is a shoe manufacturer and stu
dent of the leather market, that the
most potent influence toward higher
prices for shoes at this time lies in
the extreme styles demanded by
women during the past year All
manner of odd and expensive shades
have been worn and the changes in
lasts and designs have been startllngly
| frequent. Every departure from
standard colors and styles has its ac-
companying cost to the maker and the
consumer must pay the bill. If milady
finds her shoes more expensive this
Spring than last let her share the
blame equally between the war and
her own sweet will to wear some

long list of arts and industries. The
present plight of Germany shows Just
how essential it is. 1'nat country is
suffering from severe shortage of
rubber, because England has cut off
the importations. The result is that
many of the German hospitals are
compelled to get along without hot
water bags, ice caps, rubber sheeting,
and rubber gloves. The lack of rub
Der gloves has resulted in many of
the nurses contracting septic fever.
The International Red Cross and AM
bassador Gerard have both protested
to England against this embargo; but
the British war office is obdurate be-
cause of the great value of rubber
for military purposes.
Indeed, this demand from the war
zone is the most important factor in
the present rubber situation. Troops,
supplies and equipment are AN moved
my motor and most motors run on
rubber tires. England has sent about
100000 rubber sheets 70 her hos
pitals, and one English firm has an
order for 100000 pairs of hip
| length boots to be used in the
trenches.
Rubber is not an ingredient in any
of the explosives; yet few of them
could be manufactured without it.
| Dynamite workers wear both rub
ber gloves and rubber boots There
are about 10000 high explosive
workers in Great Britain wearing
more or less rubber, and 1t is quickly
destroyed by chemical action. Gas
bags of Zeppelins and war balloons
are also of rubber. A great deal of
waste rubber in the war zone is not
being reclaimed, either. though junk
dealers will doubtless do a big bust
ness after the war is over.
Although the United States has a
commanding position in the manu-
facture of rubber, IL has done less
than any other great nation to pro-
duce the raw material. Perhaps ouur
most notable service in that direc-
tion is the experimental work which
the Department OF Agriculture is now
carving on with small shrub call
| ed Guayule, which is native to Mex
leo, and which produces rubber of a
low grade. Before the revolution in
Mexico, quite an industry in the pro
duction of rubber from this shrub had
grown up in Mexico, and in 1909 near
| ly 10000, 600 pounds of Guayule rub
ber was put upon the market. Now
however. war has practically DESTROY
| ed the industry. Guayule can easily
be grown in Texas, Arizona and
Southern California. and there is nc
reason why ii should not be the basis
of substantial industry on American
soil.
Rubber is extracted from Latex, a
ilk-like substance which is formed
in number of tropical and subtropi.
! cal plants. The Latex easily separ-
ates into two substances, one oi
which floats upon the otner like cream
upon milk. This cream of the LateS
| is the rubber. Unless rne Latex con.
tains at least fifteen per cent. rub
Der, it is not profitable to work ii
The best rubber tree is that known
as Hevea, which is native to Rrazi
and has been successfully introduced
into the Malay states and Ceylon.

are compelled to serve all comers
equally TO their utmost, at rates fixed
by the state.
Conditions which are creating busi-
ness for the railroads are in large part
extraordinary, as pointed out, and
therefore uncertain as to duration.
That is not to deny that much of the
existing railroad prosperity is founded
on strictly domestic activity. or that
the railroads can expect a good vol
ume of traffic after the war. But the
first effect of peace would undoubtedly
be a sharp decline in the best paying
traffic, especially of the trunk lines.
Such a decline, if it came just when
the carriers were beginning to feel the
full weight of the general wage ad-
vance which will no doubt be made
before midsummer, might fully justify
the conservative course which the rail-
roads are now following. But of even
more lasting effect is the possibility of
four more years of railroad batting
under Democratic rule and slump in
traffic under Democratic tariff.

MILITARY TRAINING
(Philadelphia Press)

The proposal to introduce a course
in military training in the high schools
of the city is rapidly gaining in popu-
larity It's recent Endorsement by the
United Business Mems Association
and by two hundred prominent gradu-
ates OF the Central High school should
carry great weight with the Board of
Education when the question comes
up for official consideration. Too
many public-spirited citizens and or
ganizations have pledged themselves
to the project to leave any doubt as
to how the general public stands in the
matter. 4-
1t is generally conceded that, apatt
from the probable advantage to thu
country i'm case OF war. military train
ing in the schools has it's benefits both
physical and scholastic. In the first
place 1t makes for bodily Developments
only comparable with the effects or
tanned by the compulsory courses in
physical training now in force in most
higher schools and colleges. Moreover,
it teaches the student discipline, spe-
cies of moral control and ability to
concentrate that is useful to him not
onl% in his student days but in after
life as well. IT is no eXaggeration to
attribute the remarkable Industrial
efficiency of the German people to the
fact that virtually every ablebodied
male is compelled to undergo a course
of military training in his youth.
What military training in the
schools would mean toward national
preparedness is too obvious for dis
cussion. If every high school in the
country We're to inaugurate such a
course under competent instructors
the nucleus of an efficient army would
within a very few years be ayailabls
Ifor any emergency.

which Bryan prated so recently, have
not been forthcoming. But, then, of
course. Bryan has not let loose his
