Calamity Rowling Has Caused Public to Lose
 Confidence in Them
NO REAL BASIS FOR
 PESSIMISTIC TALK
Figures Show Solidarity of Railroad Securities, But It Is Easy to Brighten Timid
 Investor

New York, June 2.-(Special)-This week the last of the railway presidents were cross-examined on the pending ap- plication for a horizontal increase in freight rates. With the case about to go to the interstate commerce commission for decision, the question now upper most in all Wall street discussion is; Will the railroads beAs4iowed to charge higher rates?
 When the hearings first began, the rail- road presidents were given a clear field while they were having their day in court lawyers representing shippers op- posed to the proposed rate increases were not permitted to interrupt or interfere. In thus presenting, their case the one plea made was that if funds were to be raised for necessary additions and im- provements, it is absolutely essential that public confidence be restored in railway securities. That argument is absolutely sound.
 But leave the case of the railroads for a second and turn to the efforts now be- ing made by the army, of trained sales men to place the liberty bonds in the hands of investors. Investors are being told that the entire wealth of the United States, $25o, ,OOO, ,OOO,OOO is the collateral behind the S2, ,o000O0 government bonds being offered that the annual in terest charges on the $2, coo coo liberty bonds is only $70,0000o0, while the annual income of the country which can be drawn upon to pay.sthat interest is S40,- COG, GOO, o00 Those facts are being used rightly in order to secure confidence in government securities
 Is that the way railway officials and their army of camp followers are talking? Not so it could be noticed. For the last eight years, or ever since the law was passed taking away from the railroads tho right to increase freight rates at will, railway officials, and all their friends, have been crying ceaselessly from the housetop that the railroads were fac ing bankruptcy and ruin There are two well known railway presidents alone in the country, heads of highly prosperous companies, who, because of their calamity bowling during the past eight years. are largely responsible for the distrust ire quently expressed by others in railway securities.
 Here is a case in point Exactly three weeks ago attention was called in this

5, has paid 7, and is now paying 6; Union Pacific has never paid less than f. has paid 10, and is now paying 10; Louisville has never paid less than 5, has paid ', and is now paying I; Southern Pacific only began dividends in 1906 at theo rate of per cent and hasS ever since main- tained that rate.
 "In 1909, when the railroad presidents first began to holler calamity, Pennsyl- vania earned 109 per cent on the S3l9,- 100000 stock then outstanding; last year 10.5 per cent was earned on $499 ,000,000 stock now outstanding. For 1909 New York Central earned TT per cent; for 1916, 1S.2, For 1909, Illinois Central earned 75; for 1916, ,14.5 For 1909, Louisville earned 12s; for 1916, 29.7 For 1909 Southern Pacific earned 10.6; for 1916, 12.6.
 "Does that look like the railroads were bankrupt, ruined? Moreover, Pennsylva- mia now has an accumulated surplus of s33, STA 900, after having spent $14016l .00O during the past decade from surplus earnings for improvements; New York Central now has 8 profit and loss surplus of s65 2S2, COG; Illinois Central, S15, sos, 600; Union Pacific, s1So,o6s,oO0; Louisville, s50,- 172 coo; Southern Pacific, $117, ,219,0O0.
 Moreover, while steel is now selling at new high records, Pennsylvania Is selling over 10 points below the high price of 1909, when the railroad presidents began to calamity howl New York Central sold a 147 back in 1909, Illinois Central at 1e2M, Union Pacific at 219, Louisville at 1e2K, Southern Pacific at 139A
 Of all the railroad presidents who tes- tified at Washington in the freight rate case. just two admitted their companies were not facing bankruptcy, ruin. Mark ham of Illinois Central and Harrison Of the Southern. What those two men said really inspired confidence in invest ors in railway securities. Some Of the rest made sorry witnesses. That Is now admitted even by railroad men them selves But even so, 1t is safe to pre- dict that rates will be increased to off, set the increase in wages resulting from the Adamson law R l.. b.
