The Importance

Everybody knows that the electric rail-

Juncts to our modern civilization and man.

recast should their lines be abandoned
The members of community served
by given electric railway seldom, to any
great extent, are the owners CT its stocks
and bonds. Their chief interest. therefore,
is in the efficiency of the transportation it
affords. Under these circumstances it
would seem that the interests of the COM
munity and the operating company ought
to be identical; that they should both work
IN harmony, to their mutual good But
this is what does not happen. Few in
stances have yet been recorded where

gerated way the difficulties experienced by

favorite theme of George Randolph
Chester, when exploiting the activities Of
his creation, Mr.. Get Rich Quick Walling-
ford, was the manipulation of the trolley
franchise. Chester chose this industry in
order to display the financial genius of his
puppet because, as everybody knows, there
was money to be made in the building and
operation Of electric railroads and the field
offered, perhaps, more fruitful possibilities
than any other.
But times have changed, and, as every
body knows, there is no longer any money
to be made in street railroading, and Mr.
Chester has chosen different avenues Of in
dustry in which to exploit the talents of
his Wallingford.
After stiff fight, covering many lean
years in which the chief thought of the
managers Of electric railway properties has
been to avoid going to the wall, they have
hnaliy been Obliged to surrender to the in
evitable. They might, perhaps, have been
able to weather the storm and come out
with skin not too severely lacerated had
not too many adverse conditions conspired
IN ever-increasing number and intensity to
keep them down. AS it was, however, with
no relief in sight; with the hard hearted
public service commissioners becoming more
hardened of heart each year; with fixed
. obligations maturing, and with a continued
inability to exercise any control over either
their income or their outeo, they have given
up the struggle; they have invited munich
pal or public purchase of the properties
that could no longer be proftably managed

Not Wholly Due to
War Conditions

1t cannot be said that conditions arising
out of wholly responsible for the
plight in which nearly all public utilities
properties, especially the fractions, now
find themselves. Prior to the time when
the United States declared Germany to be
its enemy the cost of labor and materials
had been steadily mounting. Managers of
began to marshal their facts and to APP
pear before their regulatory bodies in APP
peals for relief But the regulatory bodies,
the public service commissions seemed to
be in quandary. They did not know how
to act. The impression prevailed among
them that they were created not for the
purpose of granting relief to companies
under their jurisdiction should relief seem
necessary but for the sole purpose of
guarding the interests of the public against
those of the utilities properties. Thew did
not seem to realize that their duties might
be retroactive; they were a constituted
body to keep these properties down, not to
help raise them up-out of trouble In their
quandary valuations and endless legal pro-
ceedings were resorted to, with result
that, except in limited sense the trac-
tons obtained little relief at their hands

Jews Burden

This helplessness of storm-swept Eastern
Jewry means that the heaviest share of the
burden Of world-Israel must be borne by the
American jew. 1t is good that the Ameri-
can Jew is able and ready to bear the bur
den, as result of the growth not only Of
the Jewish community in American life but
OF its deepening consciousness of RESPONSE
bility for tho Jewish status the world over
American Israel has risen to the high occa-
sion which summons it not merely to give
unstintedly Of its material resources, but Of
that capacity for leadership which the needs
of a generation Of stress and turmoil have
evoked from out its life. Brandeis and
Mack, Morgenthau and the Strauses, Mar
shall, Elkus. Frankfurter are the names that
represent the higher craftsmanship of the
Jewish people.
Last of all, and yet perhaps most impor-
tant of all among the happily furthering
circumstances Of the Jew In relation to the
peace conference, Ia the truth that the most
significant Jewish community in the world
to-day is part of that nation which is
become most potent in world councils and
most eager to inauguthte the era Of tepafa-
ti0h to the Jew in the only form In which
the Jew demands tebaration for centuries Of
wrong and hurt by him endured namely,
