question as to the cost TO the gov
ernment.
Every day lost leng'hens. by
many days the duration OF the war.
Increases perhaps by many thousands
the deaths of soldiers and in ectual
monetary cost the loss OF day in
having an abundance OF transporta'
tion is far greater than the differ
ence between what the builders Of
cars and locomotives might demand
and what the government thinks Is
proper,
No one goes farther than the Man
ufacturers Record in denouncing
profiteerlng and in demanding that
those who rob the nation by i'm
proper prices shall be penalized FL
nancally and in every other way
necessary, but we know that the
question at issue today. Infinitely
greater than that OF price, Is the
question of railroads and of ships.
Mr. Schwab probably never did a
wiser thing in showing the spirit
which controls him in his determi-
nation to get ships than when he re-
Gently cancelled a contract for ships
and largely increased the price In
order to give the concern which was
building the ships a chance for
greater speed in production. That Is
the spirit which must prevail In this
war work, and any effort at cheese
pairing or delay In halting construc-
tion activities day after day for the
purpose OF saving small per cent
is Of necessity unwise. 1t is entirely
feasible TO devise some system of
heavy income taxation for excess
profits TO get back for the govern
ment anything which a company has
Improperly earned from the govern
ment work. This rs feasible way
In which TO speed up production
without haltlng too long on the
question OF cost.
Entirely outside, however, OF the
matter OF cost. It should be recos-
nized that the recent order by the
government for 1000 locomotives
and 100000 cars is mere bagatelle
to what will be needed.
In the building of cars and loco
motives we need some man. such as
Schwab. for the building of ships.
who will cut out red tape and every
thing else which fetters the nation
and crowd TO the limit of capacity
every locomotive and car-buildlnB
plant in the country, and II need be
encourage the enlargement OF exist
ing plants and the construction OF
new plants. We should build wooden
cars as well as steel cars. 1t matters
not that in the long run a wooden
car may not be as profitable to oper-
ate as the steel car. In the long run,
the wooden ship may not be az de-
sirable as the steel ship. but what We
need on land is transportation, cars

tween 1901 and 1908 the railroads Of
The country ordered a total OF 1897
locomotives, or an average OF 3,024
! per year, During the same period
they ordered a total OF 1,500,194
freight cars, or an average Of iS7,-
y2t freight cars a year, Even in
1910, 1911 and 1912, with tempo
rary revival which came after the
panlc Of 1907, the railroads gfadu-
ally increased their locomotive or
ders up 70 4,515 in 1912 ana their
car orders IN that year to 234,758.
Facing the tremendous issues Of war,
with the supreme necessity of In
creased transportation facilities, the
government has ordered less than
one-quarter as many locomotives as
the railroads ordered in 1912 and less
than one-half as many freight cars,
les7 than one-siXth as many locomo-
uyes as the railroads ordered as far
back as 1905 and less than one-third
as many cars as the railroads ordered
in that year.
Had the railroads continued un-
der private MANAGEMENT and had
'hey received the increased freight
rate which the government finds II
will be compelled to demand in order
to save itself from n deficit OF $780,
100000 or $90O,00O,00O in railroad
operation, we would have had an
enormous increase in locomotives
and freight cars, taxing to the ut
most limit of production every car
and locomotive building plant and
giving us a vastly greater amount of
rolling stock than the government Is
planning to provide, Every car and
locomotive plant in America should
run 20 hours dnv until we can get
q sufficient number OF cars and
locomotives to save the country from
eXistine' conditions, 1t is entirely
safe we twink, TO predict that tho
coming winter will show a conges-
ton OF freight even more serious
than that of last winter. II we should
again have severe weather. Even
though wc have normal winter We
believe the railroad situation will be
equally as severe as last winter.
The government has not ordered
ont-half not even one-third as many
cars as should row be under order.
The question OF cost of locomotives
and cars should not for one moment
stand in the way. Every day lost on
question OF price will cost the
country far more than the amount
saved to the government. II loco
motive and car builders should de-
mand higher price than is justified,
the contract should be given withuut
"a mOmepLs hesitation, not hating
for an ho3r on the question of price,
but fighting as though on the battle
field to- save life by the production
of .lCcomo otives and cars, leaving
every undue profit TO be fought out
on income tax or through the legal
department OF the government, but
not for one moment halting on pro-
duction by reason of price.
The utmost power of the country
to build cars and locomotives and to
lay additional tracks here and there,
Wherever they Fan he done to ad-
vantage, must be pushed without
