Increased Rates for the Railroads and
the |. c. c.

The railroads of the country have
asked the interstate commerce com
mission to authorize an increase in
rates that will add $1,000, 100000 to
their earnings and enable them to
pay per cent on the book cost of the
roads and equipment. Railroad en-
plOyes have petitioned the labor board
for wage increases aggregating ST.
900 600 900 and if this should be al
lowed the companies will ask for a
further increase covering this amount
Discussing the situation, the Railway
Age of May II. says:
THE interstate commerce commits
sion doubtless feels that it will as
sumo a heavy responsibility if it au-
thorizes such large advances in rates
as are being asked for. But for the
commission to grant advances which
will be practically certain to make the
net operating income of the roads on
their book cost at least 6 per cent is
the only way in which the solution of
the railroad problem can be advanced
without further legislation. Probably
it is the only way that the solution of
the railroad problem under public
regulation and private ownership can
be made possible. Among the rea-
sons why this is the case are the fol-
lowing:
First: Regardless of whether the
book costs of individual roads or the
roads as a whole represent approx
mately the investment in them or
their value, we have the advantage of
knowing what the percentages of re-
turn earned on the book cost in the
past have been and the effects on
railroad development produced by the
earning of these various PERCENTAGES. I
We know that when the percentage
earned on book cost dropped below
81 per cent the annual investment (
in the railroads began rapidly to de- 1
cline, and that when it dropped below /
per cent railroad expansion prac- T
ically came to a stop.
Second: It is well known that the <
lverage percentage of return the rail-
ways must now pay to raise new cap
tai is very much higher than it was
when they were earning a return on
heir book cost equal to or exceeding
~ per cent and raising substantial
mounts of new capital. 1t necessar- 2
~ follows that they would be unable
o raise substantial amounts of new
apital now or in the near future if
hey were restricted to the earning of
ny amount of net operating income
Which would not be equivalent to at
east per cent on their book cost I
tut it is absolutely essential to the I
revention of a great national disas-
er that the railways should be en- I
bled to raise vast amounts of new I
apital in the near future with which

ossible for them to handle more traf- 7

These figures show a decided in

with the association. Traffic this
year has been the heaviest ever re-
corded. Since early spring the daily
total has averaged nearly 100 per

of last year. The June total of 1855
this year showed the highest per-

Get-Rich-Quick
Ponzi Finishes
nt Financial Flyer

Charles Ponzi, the most recent ex-
ample of get-rich-quick Wallingford,
surrendered himself to the federal
authorities Thursday. unable to meet
his enormous obligations after his
principal banker was closed up. 1t
is said that the total number of
investors to put money, in his
hands was 10000 and that he ham
aled from 100000 to $4,000
0O0., ~ He was arrested under the
postal laws and charged with us
ing the mails to defraud. The au-
thorities could not see where his
money making scheme had a chance
of success.
Ponzi, on the. other hand, all dur
ing the run on him paid off invest
ors with handsome profits day after
day, claiming that he was secure and
could pay all obligations. His rec
ord was looked up and he was found
to have served prison sentences both
lat Montreal and Atlanta. He adj
mitted these sentences and explain
ed them. He served in Canada for
the guilt of another man, he said,
and was convitted in this country
of smuggling in Italians from Cam
ada. If that was a sin, he had paid
for it, he declared.
Because Ponzi wrote SO many
checks on the Hanover Trust COM
pany, an old and we'll established
banking house at Boston, where this
all occurred, the bank was also in
vestigated and closed up because
it was issuing money against Pom
zi's certificate of deposit for $780,
600, against the examiners order.
The bond for Ponzi was fixed at
$4,000 and his hearing set for the
18th. 1t Is not known just what his
operations were, but rumored that
they had to do with manipulating
securities and coined money on the
foreign exchange market.

TURNING AWAY FROM MEAT
In New York Big Hotels Meals Entire

the diners of the American metropolis

guests at the hotels here today are Or
dering vegetables for their meals in
stead Of meats. All of the big hotels
keep very careful record Of the sales
of the different items on the menus for
each day, and recapitulation made
recently at the Hotel Pennsylvania re-
vealed that surprising percentage Of
patrons omitted meat items entirely
in their lunch and dinner orders.
While the percentage for lunch was
much higher than that for dinner, the
number of dinner guests who re-
Trained from meat entirely was also
very large.
In the opinion of Chef Julien JAG
quier of the Pennsylvania this is the
result Of years of emphasis on the
value Of vegetarianisn. The vegetari-

with the war a great deal more came

found that a thoroughly satisfactory
