TO MAKE INVESTMENT SAFE.
National Authority on Railroad Trans

Bankrupt

In an address 1.-The Railroad Puz-
zle." delivered in Philadelphia, Janu-

the Wharton School of Finance, and
one of the nations leading authorities
on railroad transportation, declared
that latter the first of March the COM

come bankrupt" Continuing, he said
'.Can the railroads be successfully
financed and operated when they are
returned to their owners? For two
years the government has drawn upon
the public treasury to sustain the
credit of carriers.
IF the carriers avoid failure their
income must cover operating expenses,
maintenance and capital charges; if
the companies succeed to the extent
that. is demanded in public interest,
they must not only be able to meet I'M
avOidab1e expenses, they must have
some surplus revenue.
eff there is no income to be used in
part for bettermentS and In part for
building up a surplus or reserve fund,
the public will not invest in the rail-
roads, their credit cannot be re-eStab-
lished and maintained and corporate
ownership and operation of the rail-
ways Will fail
ssThe income of the carriers is deter
mined by public regulation, and prop
erly so; but from this it follows that
the country must decide between a
policy Of adequate revenues to the
railroad corporations of the future and
a policy of government ownership.
1.-THE government is entitled to credit
for having given greater unity to rail-
road operation, both line and terminal.
It has done much that the carriers
were prohibited from doing. The pub
