 Railroad wages have been advanc- ing, as they should. "The employment, in spite of cer- tain devices, is dangerous and in some departments arduous. "In the states the tendency has been to reduce taxation on private property and to raise the assessed value of the roads.
 "A locomotive costing $1S,0O0 four years ago could not now be purchased fer $65,OOO.
 Everything going into railroading has advanced enormously.
 'In some of the most thinly popu- lated states there has been a reduc- tion in passenger fares.
 "An increase in freight rates did not meet the increased expenses be- cause the conditions established made the operation of the roads expensive. Under the prospect the investors re- fused to go further with the costs. "The war brought enormous demand for more equipment. Already the add ed earnings is eaten up by the added expense. The railroads were unable to carry on general plan of far reaching financing.
 "An immediate difficulty was brought about by the government it. self.
 "The railways were confronted by demands from the war department from the naval department, from the food department and from the fuel department for preference of ship ment.
 "Every department of the govern !ment was competing with every other department for the bulk, of the cars and engines. The government itsell was bringing about chaos.

There are said to be hundreds of corporations the country over who figure like the interurban company re- ferred to. It was only a few years prior to the outbreak of the war, for instance, that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad sold stock in England and "guaranteed' per cent dividends.
 The principle is radically wrong, and is not followed in regular lines of business.
