Representative railroad securities
as a class have declined in value at
less rate than those of industrials,
public utilities or even bonds of the
United States government. The de-
cline in security values Is not due to
inadequate railroad credit or made
quate railroad earnings IL Is due to
the war. You must know that fact
to be true.
Railroads Arc Strong.
This great human catastrophe that
is paralyzing so many manufacturing
and Industrial enterprises, not directly
connected with the making of war
munitions. has entirely failed to injure
our railroads, for the record. when
completed, will show that the rail-
roads during the past two years, while
this great struggle has been wagirg,
nave prospered better than during any
other year since the steam engine was
Invented.
"In this wild scramble for profiteer-
ing and in the constant placing of adj
ditional tax burdens of all kinds and
character, aggregating hundreds and
even thousands OF millions of dollars
upon the American people, would it
not be wise to be sure of your ground
before, recommending an additional
tax equivalent TO per cent on an
other billion dollars to be paid by the
shippers of this country?

No News Given Out Officially.
The situation was discussed at to-

Lansing was unable to add anything
to information appearing In the news
papers. A cable received during the
day from Minister Morris at Stock.
holm showed that even the Scandi-
'navian countries are getting no news

Until the situation clears the state

States with Russia. II is apparent.
however, that there still is u lingering
hope that the revolution may be
localized In Petrograd and that Ker-
ensky may re-establish his govern

Stable Government Likely.
Even failing in this some officials
are confident that out OF the present
chaos in Russia will emerge n sound
and stable government. Secretary
Baker voiced this opinion:

"in the ability of the Russian people
to re-establish themselves. If there
is anything to be learned by history
it Is that great people like the RUS
slams will be able TO find themselves

ing the efforts of the railroads to OBJ

sertions of the comptroller and dared
him to appear before the commission
and question the accuracy Of state
ments Of fact offered there in behalf
of the shippers opposing the advance.
The letter says in part:
Doesn't Impngn Motives.
II will not even suggest that you
are lending the prestige of your great
office to help the railroads stampede
the commission. for I know you would
not stoop to such a base undertaking;
and II you did so 1t would be useless,
for I have confidence in the courage
and integrity of that great tribunal to
believe that it cannot be stampeded,
II that were not true the time has ar.
rived to abandon the regulation Of
railroads in America.
II wonder, perchance, II the idea
has ever occurred to you that one de-
partment Of the government shouldn't
try to dictate to another department
Of the government. what is its duty on
matters of grave import. Perhaps the
commission is capable of deciding this
case upon the facts presented to It.
and not upon the newspaper inter-
views and pronunciamentos.
Challenges Statement.
You are quoted as saying that
railroad securities have sustained tho
heaviest shrinkages. and that they
have been the leaders in the down.
ward movement of values. chal-
lcnge that statement as untrue. II you
have facts to .substantiate suchl q
claim 1t Is your duty to present them
to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion at once. But you know that you
dare not attempt to testify to such a
statement under OATH. There Is not
an iota of evidence in support Of your
claim that has been offered by the
railroads, or any hireling Of the rail-
roads, in this proceeding. The facts
are precisely the opposite OF what you
claim and we are going to prove It.
II you doubt it. invite your attend
ance at the hearings next Thursday
before the Interstate Commerce COM
mission and I dare you to question
the accuracy of a solitary statement
of fact that will be offered on behalf
of the national organizations Of live
stock shippers, grain shippers and the
independent oil men Of the United
States who are fighting this advance.
