URGED TO Be
AGGRESSIVE;
Mrs. Berger Quits Wiscon.
sin Association Office to
be Erect to Act.

Milwaukee,. Wis, Oct. 9.-Mrs. Vic
tor Z. Berger, wife Of the former So
ctaltst congressman. today announced
her resignation as Vice president Of
the Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage as
ISOLATION, though still retaining her
membership in the Organisation.
Mrs. Berger gave as her chief rea-
Q for resigning that she desired to
be free to act in the woman suffrage
cause. The association, she said, was
not radical enough to suit her and the
giving up her office would give her
free rein.
Now Time to Strike.
The efforts Of all women Of the
United States should be directed to
the suffrage Of women at this time az
q war measure, she said in a state
ment embodied in her letter of resig-
nation; that today. more than ever,
with the young men away to the war.
with the change in industrial and
economic conditions confronting
women. it is more imperative than
ever that women should have the bal
lot to protect themselves and their
families.
It seemed to her, she said, that the
course OF the more radical suffrage
organization proved more effective In
a~cquainting the nation with the lack
Of democracy in this country than the
tactics of the Netional Woman suf-
frage association.
Room for Aggressive Work.
Mrs. Berger said she believed that
especially in Wisconsin there was
room for more aggressive work in the
suffrage cause.
She has not allied herself with the
WOman's party.

CLOSE MARGIN OF PROFIT
IN OPERATION OF RAILWAY
Large Amount Of Capital Risksd For
vsU Small Returns
OF VITAL INTEREST TOPUBLIC
Investors viii Not Provide Money for
improvements Unless They Are
Assured q Reasonab Profit
on Their investment

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special. THE close
margin of profit for a railroad under
present conditions is strikingly shown
by figures submitted by President Har-
rison In the annual report of South
ern Railway Company for the fiscal
year ended June 30th, 1916, In the
most prosperous year of the Compa-
ny's history the net operating income
($21. O04. OO5.0s) represented only 5.3l
Der cent on the investment (s395, 1922
7sk0S) in the railroad and equipment
which produced it.
1T may perhaps be said," said Mr..
Harrison, that there is no industry ex-
cept a railroad in which so large a
capital is risked for such a return in
its most successful year."
At time when the newspapers dali
ly are printing articles in regard to
increasing railroad gross earnings, as
indicating rising tide of general
prosperity. it is we'll to bear in mind
the very small return on money in.
vested in railroad property.
Many persons are misled into believ-
ing that the railroads are fabulously
prosperous by the mere size of the fig
ures in which the earnings of large
railroads are expressed, but it should
b remembered that an enormous sum
of money was required to construct
and equip their plants and that the
return on each dollar invested is rela-
lively small.
It Is manifestly in the interest Of
the employees of q railroad and of
the public served that the railroad
secure new capital for additions and
improvements to its plant SO that 1t
may give better service and offer en-
arged employment. However, this
can be accomplished only by allowing
the railroad to earn an amount on
the capital already invested sufficient
to promise q return on the additional
capital desired.
Governmental agencies may depress
rates and enact restrictive Legislation
which will deprive the man who has
already invested in railroads of fair
return on his investment, but no plan
has been devised for forcing the man
with money in the bank to put ii
into railroad construction or imlECYe.
ment. Unless ths investment appears
attractive to him and offers a fair
return he win put his money in some
enterprise that canno. be affected by
governmental agencies.
Every employee Of the Southern
Railway and every shipper served by
it who recognizes his true interest will
do what he can to insure such a re-
turn on the capital now invested in
the Southern Railway as viii make the
securities Of the Company more at
tracfive to investors. so the Company
will be able to secure the additional
capital needed to carry on a consist.
