MONEY NEEDED
 FOR RAILROADS
By HOLLAND

New York, December Especial )ZOne paragraph in the recent communication by MT. McAdoo as director general of familiar with railroad conditions as these have been for 15 or 20 years to refer to a recommendation made in 1905 or 1906 by the late James J. Hill At that time the railroads were beginning to feel seri- ously the need of improvements, expan- sions and especially terminals. MT. Hill was of the opinion, which he publicly and earnestly expressed that the rail- roads of the United States were in need or at least S5Oo,0Oo,OO0 year to be ex- pended upon improvements. expansions and terminals for at least ten years.
 The situation was already becoming somewhat desperate. It had been accu- lrately forecast by A. J. Cassatt, presi- dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany. Mr. Cassatt had observed for sometime that railroad facilities, for the movement of freight were not equal to the traffic which was offered, especial ly in the middle west He made an ex- haustive study of these conditions upon which he justified a statement that un- less conditions were improved and the railroads were able to obtain sufficient funds greatly to expand their traffic facilities, then the time was not far distant when there would come an ap- palling congestion of freight, especially in the middle west
 MT. Hill took up the suggestion which was made by MT. Cassatt and went into some details, His own study of the re- lation of transportation of the railroads to the vastly increased traffic that was being offered and would continue to be offered on account of the industrial and agricultural growth of the west and the far west, justified him in saying that as much as S500,000,000 a year, to be con tinued for at least 10 years, would be required if the railroads were to meet the traffic that was being and would continue to be offered in increased amounts

FIVE BILLIONS NEEDED

As much as $5,000000,000 was the esti- mate of MT. Hill of the amount of>money that would be required if the railroads were to keep pace with industrial and agricultural growth. He spoke particu- larly of terminals, referring to them as the keystone of efficient and sufficient railroad traffic movement" Mr Hilrs statement occasioned no more than pass ing comment. Now, Mir. McAdoo, 10 years after MT. Hills assertion with respect to the needs of the railroads, has rec ognized this assertion as true and as containing suggestions which will com pei the securing of $500, ,O00,Oc0 fresh cap ital. But MT. McAdoo contemplates no more than $2,500,00O,OoO as the aggregate

THE LAW MUST BE CHANGED


 In any event it is necessary that there be certain changes in the law and cer- tain changes in the policy which has characterized the interstate commerce commissions relation to the railroads of the United States and to the traffic problem. For, it is said, had the policy of that commission been far different from that which it has adopted, then the railroad companies would have been able to secure from bankers and men of capital the necessary funds in order to pay for improvements, and adequately to enlarge terminals
 In the early fall of 1907 a congestion of traffic, especially that which was of Iered by the shippers of wheat and corn rom the west to the Atlantic ports, LOOK place at Buffalo Traffic in enor- nous amounts awaited there transporta- ton. It couldN not be moved, excepting very slowly. simply because the railroads were not in possession of adequate equip ment. The late James Stillman, who visited Buffalo and saw what the con- ditions there were, said upon his return to New York that if the interstate com merce commissioners went to Buffalo and perceived with their own eyes what these conditions were and then asked why they had arisen and why they were not i'm mediately eliminated, they would be told, Because you have not allowed the rail- roads such advantages as would if the railroads possessed them, have made it possible for them to go into the money market and secure all fresh capital need ed with which to buy equipment''
 This Buffalo incident is spoken of to this day as one of the best examples of the condition in which the railroads found themselves because of their ina bility to secure much needed new capi- tai in order to improve, expand and in crease traffic facilities and especially to establish terminals so that they would be sufficient for many years.
 What men of capital and railroad man. agers well knew 10 or IS years ago were the needs of the railroads MT. McAdoo after less than two years experience as the federal, director of the American railroads is spoken of as having discov- cred to be the fact and being willing publicly to say so.

amount which it is necessary to secure within the next five years.
 Apparently nothing but the experience of the government and especially that of MT. McAdoo, could have caused general interest to be expressed as to the needs of the railroads for new capital in order to make necessary improvements. Of course if the government should be com pelled to furnish this sum then it will be unnecessary for the railroad com panies to approach the bankers and men of capital for the purpose of securing this large amount of new capital. Rail- read managers, however, are confident as are also the bankers and men of large capital who are awaiting reasonable in- vestment, that if the railroad companies are permitted to increase rates and are allowed certain financial facilities, such for instance as the right under the law to re-establish pooling under government control then there will be no difficulty in securing from private sources the amount of money that is needed if the railroads are to be in a position fairly well to meet the increasing demand for traffic accommodations
