trying to regulate the issuance of rail
road securities by different methods.
Twenty-eight states specify headlight
requirements without any cooperation
with one another. Fourteen states
have different safety appliance acts.
Sometimes the orders of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, so far as they
concern intrastate matters, are prac-
tically nullified by the failure Of the
states to approve them. 1t is estimat-
ed that the railroads of the country
are required to make V 100000 re
ports a year to various state or federal
authorities.
OF course the railroads do not bear
the burden of this legal yoke alone. It
rests as heavily IN the shoulders of
the 100000 or more owners of Ameri-
can railway securities, many of whom
are women dependent for support upon
the income from these securities. In
surance companies, representing 80.
100000 policy holders, have 81, 100000
900 invested in railway securities, and
savings banks. representing 100000
depositors, have $500, ZOO invested
In railroad stocks and bonds.
Wealth of Roads Benefits Many.
According to the statistics of railways
In the United States issued in 1914, the
railroads then employed 1,710,296 per
sons, to whom they paid approximately
S1.3S1, III ,292 per year in wages and
salaries. The expenditure of that sun
is certainly a substantial contribution
to the income of all mercantile and
manufacturing enterprises. But, while
the railroad situation claims the atten-
ton of all classes of citizens, it must
appeal to the industrial worker in
bread and butter terms, for he is the
first to feel the effects of railroad i'm
poverishment. This was evidenced in
1914 and 1915. when the railroad sit
uation was most acute and when thou
sands of men were out of work and
the industries of the country were in
q serious condition.
How can the industrial worker help
to put the railroads on a sounder work
ing basis? By joining In a general pro-
test against the legislative avalanche,
by voting against the legislator who Is
instrumental in the passage of the bur
densome and taxatious laws that re.
duce railroad profits and the income
on railroad securities. 1t is vitality nee
essary that these securities should be
made more attractive to the investing
public so that the railroads can in
crease their credit and obtain enough
money to make improvements and in
crease their equipment.
Sound Credit Essential.
"Railroad regulation must encourage
sound credit or regulation Is a failure"
a V A. J. County, vice president of
the Pennsylvania railroad. Sound
credit is just as essential in the rail
road business as in mercantile affairs,
and a railroad cannot have sound cred
it without the earning power to pro
duce a credit basis."-IndustriaI Con-
sefVatiOn, NetU York.

Millions of Dollars Lost by Railroads
In Meeting Maze of Legislative Re-

"a man is as old as his arteries"
says a prominent health authority.
With equal truth 1t may be said that
a country is as prosperous as its rail-
roads, for industry is the life of a
country, and the railroads bear the
same vital relation to the industrial
system that the big blood carrying
tubes bear to the human body.
There was a time in the history of
industry when manufacturing was a
n man affair, when every laborer
owned his own tools and made goods
for his neighbors. That system passed
away with the invention of the steam
engine. and no san man today would
wish for its return. The modern high
ly developed industrial organism de-
ponds absolutely on the facilities for
distribution provided by the railroads.
But how have the railroads been re-
warded for making possible the evolu-
ton of industry? In recent years they
have been made the subject for all
sorts of legal vivisection. They have
been chloroformed and cut open, and,
as usual In such cases, the surgeons
have differed as to the nature of the
malady and the necessary cure. The
prevailing theory. however, was that
the railroads were suffering from an
abnormal growth of the income, so
their income had to be amputated.
From a professional point of view the
operation was eminently successful,
but in a number of cases the patient
died. Recent mortality statistics show
a total of 34,652 miles of steam rail
road in the hands of receivers, the
roads involved having a total capital
cation of 81, 100. 4SS, 210.

The avalanche of adverse laws direct
ed against railroads has been so over
whelming that since 1906 the Pennsyl-
vania railroad on its ines east of Pitts
burgh alone has spent $19,000,000 com
Approximately that sum is equal to 6
per cent income on $300,000,000

An interesting story is now running
in the columns Of the Herald under the
head Of personal property tax payers.
Yes, you can figure out that your
neighbor is paying too little tax in
proportion to that which you pay, and
the aforesaid neighbor will do like
wise as to yourself. The personal tax is
one Of the hardest to properly equal
i've, but there is no doubt that publ
cation of the list helps considerable
toward placing assessments on a prop
er basis. Contrary to general belief,
however, this service to the public is
furnished absolutely free by the local
press, although it is hoped that the
legislature will at some time mako
provision for a proper remuneration
for it's publication: That is, if srch
a tax continues to be collected in Min
nesota. We believe that the time is
not so far distant, when the tax re-
ceived from personal property will be
levied mostly on other classes Of prop
erty.

advices giving the broad outlines OF
the Allies reply to President Wilson's
peace proposal, Colonel E. M. House.
the Presidents friend and adviser, ar
rived at the White House. The
Colonel's last visit was followed by
the dispatch of the Presidents note.
At the same time London press dis.

gary, stating that the Central pow.
ers had given or would give Presi
dent Wilson a statement of their peace
terms and that the Allies could OBJ
tain them from him.
Officials Are Silent.
White House officials and the State
department would not discuss these
developments further than to say def.
nitely that that no further move on the
part of the American government
would be determined until the Allies
reply was received:
It was not disclosed whether the ad.
ministration considers the unfavorable
action Of the Allies has left open the
way for the confidential exchange OF
terms between the belligerents. In
view Of the delicate nature of the ne.
gotiations, extreme secrecy is being
observed.
Pessimistic Over Outlook.
Both in Teutonic and Allied circles
pessimism over the outlook was ex.
pressed. The President, however, was
understood to think that the present
move will be helpful ultimately.
Preliminary information received
mere indicates that the Allied note will
pay more attention to the Presidents
suggestion that means be found for
preserving peace in the future than did

suggested postponement of this Ques.
