OUR PUBLIC FORUM
IIl---Julius kruttschnitt
On Financing Railroads

the Legislators and the Commits
sioners.
Managing a railroad is quite differ
ent from managing a government
where the money Is raised by taxa
ton. When the expenditures. for
good reasons or otherwise, increase.
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 wherewtth 10
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 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 70
meet the increased capital charges.
