The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-03-23

BY MAX THEEEN,
President National Assn of Railway
Commissioners.
The first constructive remedy, in
my opinion, toward improving rail-
road conditions in the United States
is to provide adequate and effective
regulation by federal government Of
capital stock issues, bonds and
other securities of all roads engaged
in interstate and foreign commerce,
and for mergers, sales, mortgages
and leases.
This regulation could be either
concurrent with the states or exCIu-
sively federal
Such power should, however, not
be conferred upon the federal gov
eminent unless at the same time ad-
eqUate machinery is provided to
prOpmptlyhear anddispOse Of railroad
application for the issue Of securities.
No phase Of public utility regUla-
ton requires more prompt attention
than financial matters, such as pro-
posed security issues.
The railroads are trying to sup
port a claim for increased rates to
pay interest and dividends on all
their present outstanding securities, |
whether issued for value or not, and
to establish new borrowing power for
the future.
In other words, the mistakes, |
faults and crimes Of railroad finan-
ciers and executives in the past are
to be saddled upon the public in the !
form of higher rates.
The people Of the United States
will never consent to pay increased |
rates for any such purpose.
The remedy in such cases is not |
higher rates, but reorganization of |
the railroads reorganization on an
honest basis Under public authority |
with a view to substituting for the |
existing UnsOund financial condition |
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-03-23

instead OF crying calamity IN the
days of their greatest prosperity,
should adopt an attitude of optimism.
Never before have l heard of a
business man, needing funds for the
enlargement of a prosperous bust
ness, apparently trying to scare off
every Investor who is willing to as
sist in such development.
Finally, all public authorities must
deal with railroads in a spirit of SYM
pathy and broad consTuctiveness.
Public officials represent the rail-
roads just as much as they represent
the travelling and shipping public.
The railroads are a very vital part
Of our industrial life and may soon
become of supreme Importance i'll
the national defense. The interests
Of the nation require that our rail-
road systems be at all times adequate
and effective.
The railroads, however, must do
their part. They must cease bearing
false witness against public authori-
ties, state and federal. They must
play the game openly and honestly,
with all the cards on the table, face
up. They must cease crying caIam-
ity when there is no calamity.
If the railroads fail to do their part,
or if, notwithstanding good faith on
their part hereafter, it appears that
because, Of their financial manage
ment of the past they are unable to
do their full duty without unjustly
high rates, there is only one alterna-
tive government ownership.
The situation must be most care
fully watched. In view of the posi-
biity Of breakdown of private own
ership, the wisdom and patriotism of
our statesmen will prompt them to
take steps at once to study govern
ment ownership in every aspect, and
to make the provision so that if gov
