RI RATES MUST
Be ADJUSTED
Dean Of the Wharton School of
Finance on the Need of Good
Railroad Credit.
TO MAKE INVESTMENT SAFE.
National Authority on Railroad Trans
portatIon Says Roads Must Be
self-supPortInG or Become
Bankrupt.

In an address on 1.-THE Railroad PuZ-
Eie," delivered In Philadelphia, Janu-
airy 8, DR.. Emory r. Johnson, dean of
the Wharton School of Finance, and
one OF the nations leading authorities
en- railroad transportation, declared
that after the first of March the COM
panies must be self-supporting or be-
come bankrupt" Continuing, he said !:
Can the railroads be successfully
financed and operated when they are
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 un-
avOidable expenses, they must have
some surplus revenue.
IF there il no income to be used In
part for betterments and in part for
building up a surplus or reserve fund,
the public will net 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.
1.-THE 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
policy Of adequate revenues to the
railroad corporations Of the future and
q policy Of government ownership.
The government is entitled to credit
fer having given greater unity to rail-
road operation, beth line and terminal.
1t has dene much that the carriers
were prohibited from doing. The pub
lie now realize that cooperation Of
the carriers In the jOiRt use Of equip
ment ana terminals should be encour-
aged, Instead Of prevented.
1.-THE railroad legislation now pend
ing in Congress must solve many diff
cult questions, but the most critical one
il that Of providing for the future reg
ulation Of railroads in accordance with
a policy that will cause the carriers to
secure revenue sufficient to enable
them te perform their services ade-
quately and with progressive efficiency
The railroad business must be made at
tractive to private investments or the
country will have to adopt government
ownership and operation of the rail-
roads. There Is no other alternative"

morrow. Oral arguments on three

Yesterday the Kentucky Distil-
leries and Warehouse Company.
Louisville. in brief filed claimed
that the amendment is imperative
until it has been ratified by all the
States.
1t is also claimed that the amend
ment is invalid because only two
thirds of the members Of the House
present at the time voted to submit
1t to the States, while the Constitu-
tion states two-thirds of all the
members must so vote.
Another contention is that three
fourths of the States have not rati-
fed the amendment. because in
twelve States ratification is not COM
.plete until passed on by a refer
endum.
With regard to the Volstead law.
II is claimed 1t is imperative until

regarding advice and recommended
tions from himself and other ofii-

On Tuesday a subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
will begin hearings on the legisla-

which contains the salary appropria-
tions for most of the government
clerks in the District. and upon
which centers the s24o bonus fight.
On Friday the Joint Congressional
Commission on Reclassifcation of
Salaries in the District will file its
report to Congress.
AS there is little possibility Of the
Legislative appropriation bill being
passed before the report of the Re-
classification Commission. govern
ment employees are hoping Congress
will consider recommendations to be
made by the commission.
However, there are many MEM
bers in both branches who would not
be willing to accept the recommen-
dations of the commission without
themselves going deeply into the
subject. 1t is believed they could
not do this in time to incorporate
the recommendations in the legisla-
tive bill.
There are others who believe Re-
publican leaders. with this fact in
mind, have deliberately rushed con-
sideration of the Legislative bill
so as to get 1t out of the way
before the commissions report Is
filed, Those entertaining this, view
assert this was. the cause Of the
Willingness OF the leaders to ex-
