The roads at this time a price of
between 10 and II percent.
The remedy, from the viewpoint
of the railroads and the banks
which finance large operations, lies
in increasing rates TO Offset the
high cost of labor, fuel, and ma
terials. While some small increases
have been granted in rates, pay
rolls, and materials. nave advanced
from 30 to rs percent. The plea of
the railroads is that while the gov
eminent has enabled Industrial
concerns TO charge from rs to 500
percent more for their output than
in pre-war times, the railroads are
asked TO sell their output at the
old prices, but pay the increased
cost.
The above table shows the high
prices Of the stocks selected in 1915
and the low quotations established
on Oct. 10 and 16, 1917, the days
of greatest depression in the market
for railroad issues. In giving quo
tatons. fractions are omitted.

tablish strength not merely for the
duration Of hostilities but for the
tests of the world reconstruction
period.
There are critics OF the railroads.
mostly people who apply the abuses
Of an earlier period in our national
history as a reason for pursuing
punitive course against the roads
now. These people are now engaged
IN pointing out that some roads are
now showing bigger net earnings
than at any time in recent years.
Why should the roads be given
higher rates.? they ask. 1t is easy
TO deceive a certain portion of the
public with a cry like this. Such
slogan ignores the plain fact that
many railroads are showing an in
crease in net earnings because. with
out self-interest or hesitation. they
are wearing out rolling stock and
equipment in order TO supply the
demands Of the country at war. No
thought is given as TO whether the
machinery is being hurt by work
ing il p hours a day In time OF
war the national transportation
system must be kept working at full
speed. Naturally there Is increased
compensation for such pressure. but
what about the future?
What will happen when the rail-
roads are forced 10 replace the
equipment which is now being
bought. such supplies as are being
purchased are costing the roads 500
20 500 percent more than what they
have been accustomed 10 pay. And
the rates make no provision for this
increase. Some increase was allow
ed 10 the roads for increases given
10 the four brotherhoods. but no
provision has been made for the
increases 20 unskilled labor. increas-
es which the roads have had TO
make time and again in the past
l12 months in order 20 meet the
competition for men from other
employers.

The figures may be quoted as evil
dence OF fear on the part of own

ditiOns. With the shrinkage IN

for the companies TO borrow money

high rates Of interest that the roads
are unwilling TO incur necessary
obligations. With the discount on

league which reflects throughout
the country an attitude of worry
and apprehension on the part of all
people with money invested in rail-
road securities. Thousands of these
people own less than ten shares OF
stock. Steady declines in the prices
OF time-tested railroad shares with
few buyers emphasize the fact that
among thoughtful people and
these are investors-the whole prob
lem of railway credit is now in the
balance. If these people were reas-
sured. if they were made 10 feel
that the punitive attitude towards
railway enterprise has been elm
mated forever many OF them would
buy additional securities and thou
sands Of others who have not in
vested in railroad securities would
invest.
In 1907, the rich mans panic. 80
investors sold because they we're
forced TO. In 1917, the rich man is
selling. not because he has 10. but
because. with the deduction Of his
taxes, he finds his securities un-
attractive Again, the stability of the
financial markets depends on the
rich poor man. Unburdened with
heavy taxes. he finds present invest
ment yields inviting and his only
question is safety. Encourage him
in this respect and he will turn the
tide even more effectively than ne
did in 1907
AT this time when we are all
concentrating effort on the success
OF the Liberty loan. il may at first
sight seem that necessity for es-
tabushing confidence in railroad
securities Is a secondary matter
The fact that the money of the saw
ings banks OF the country is largely
concentrated in railroad securities
offers sufficient evidence 20 establish
the underlying Importance.
We urge a liberal increase in
rates for all roads so that they
may look forward 10 future neces-

consider the traffic situation at this
time in the broad terms OF railroad
credit
Although I spent a good part OF
my life in railroad work, I fully
realize that only such a body as
your own which has given exhaus-
tive attention 20 the techniCalities
of rate making is qualified 70 know
the difficulties involved. The Rail-
way Investors league would not
venture to make any suggestion
based on such a premise. But the
problem Of the railroads is a
broader one than can be cOmpassed
in the study Of rates IL is now a
fundamental problem involving the
whole question OF American rail-
road credit
Comprising not merely a limited
number OF wealthy investors but
representing the common sense
viewpoint OF more than $4,000 aver
