N0Oe more

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms. mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-
pines. more cars. more tracks more ter
m,nals-there can be little increase IN
production.
But this country Of ours IS gong to
keep right on growing the railroads
must grow with 1t.
To command in the investment markets
the flow of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and so increase production -
there must be public confidence IN the
future earning power Of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow. ,
