EXPERT TESTIFIES
IN TRACTION QUIZ
Outlines Evils of ver-CapitaI-
iZatiOn and Reckless
Financing.

The OvercapitalizatiOn OF traction
companies held the center Of the stage
at the hearing Of the Federal Electric
Railway Commission this morning,
when the Amalgamated Association Of
Street Railway Employees continued
the presentation OF its case.
Stiles p. Jones, former secretary OF
the Minneapolis Voters League and
an authority on municipal problems,
was the chief " vlness. He laid before
the commission study Of twenty
leading traction companies in which
official valuations had disclosed over
capitalization and reckless financing
for many years.
OF It's Own Making.
The present predicament OF the
street railway industry in rthe United
States is one in large part OF its own
making" said Mr.. Jones. 1T is ere
ated primarily by past financial mis-
management, over which the public
had no control and for which il can
not justly be held responsible.
a study of tie financial history OF
many representative companies dis
closes an amazing story Of financial
manipulation clear through the life
OF the properties, the results OF which
have been to load them down with
staggering burden of OverCapitaliza-
tiOn to constitute a permanent charge
against operating revenue. The inge-
nuity Of the financial management in
creating new sources Of capitalization
has been without limit. Nothing has
been overlooked upon which to hang
new issues Of securities.
The inevitable result is seen in the
present undermining Of the financial
structure of street railway invest
ments in this country. The credit
Of the industry is so impaired that
IL can no longer finance its enter
prises on possible terms. It is facing
collapse through it's own DEVICES.
Frame SOrdid Background.
The methods and agencies by
which this unfortunate situation has
been brought about frame a sOrdid
background of ruthless exploitation
Of a great pUblic-serving industry
to make financial killings for ma
nipulating insiders. UnWarranted
promoters rewards, excess construc-
tion costs, consultations. mergers.
congratulations, leases. stock bO-
muses., have all been made the me
dium for capital initiation. Fran
ChiSe value, excess earnings. pros
pective future earning capacity. dis
counts on securities, even operating
deficits, have been capitalized to fur
ther add to the burden. Evcrs Op-
Grating improvement, the increased
efficiency Of employees, the growth
and development of the community
and of industry have been to a large
extent used as a means to absorb
fictitious issues.
The effort to protect the integrity
Of these false values has absorbed the
efforts and resources of the compa-
nies in such measure as to make itI
impossible for them to fulfill their
primary function as pUbIic-serving
lnstttuuohs. Indeed, the operation
or the pToperties-the vital point OF
the public interest in the street rail-
way qUestion-has been seriously af-
fected by the financial mismanage-
ment. Excess operating costs and bad
service have gone along hand-in-hand
the years with bad financial
while just wage in
creases have been held up because Of
the prior claim OF the investor"
