The Plight of the Roads.

Even under government control,
with freight and passenger rates
greatly increased. service of the. rail-
road systems is very poor, trains are
late, freight is congested and many
corporations have been forced to de-
pend on motor trucks to speed need
ed supplies, machinery, etc.
Under multiple control. forty-eight
states and the 1. c. c., the railroads
were unable to finance needed i'm

Of the not overly strong roads, was
permitted to lag.
Many railroad corporations had ma
TURTLES in sight; stocks were on the
down grade. and but for federal con-
troll, coming just when it did, many
shareholders. their margins and much
of their principal gone, would have
taken their punishment, ilquidated
their securities and have been re-
moved from the list of investors.
