Other Railroad Financing

Much othsr railway equipment fnan-
cling is in the formative stage and the
roads and the bankers are only await
ing the word of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to permit them to
go ahead The amount of such fnanc-
ing that has been held uo by the
stand Of the commission with regard
to the rate of interest which the roads
are permitted to pay on such financing
runs into fairly large figures. One es-
innate puts the total at S5O.OO0,OO0 to
S75.0O0,000. Bankers in close touch
with the matter said yesterday they
looked for the commission to modify
its stand within the next few days so
that much of the financing held up can
be put through without further delay.
One or two roads which have con-
tracted for equipment are in the po-
stion Of having the equipment de-
livered to them shortly without having
the funds available to pay for it un-
less financing can be arranged In a
hurry. The National Equipment Cor
poration, recently organized to aid the
roads in financing equipment purchases.
has so far made no loans, but it is
that it will begin to func-
tion shortly.

Illinois Central Financing

The Illinois Central is in the market
for funds and is carrying on negotia-
tions with Kuhn. Loeb & Co. for an
issue of $s,oO0,O00 Of equipment trusts.
Although no announcement Of the de-
tails has been made as yet, it Is UNDER
stood that the rate will be per cent
and the maturity ten years, the net
cost to the road for money being in
the neighborhood Of tx per cent. One
of the bankers interested in the oper-
alton said yesterday that the machin-
cry for arranging the loan had been
set in motion but the transaction was
still far from consummation. 1t is ex-
pected that some days will elapse be-
fore the approval Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission is obtained, so
that an announcement is not likely be-
fore next week at the earliest.

No Rubber Financing

United States Rubber common, one
of the conspicuous points of weakness
on Monday when rumors OF new imam

rallied more than 2 points yesterday
and held it's gain. following publica-
tion of denial by Samuel P. Colt,
chairman of the board. The head Of
the company came out with state
ment to the effect that there is abso-
lutely no truth in the reports purport-
ing to come from Boston to the effect
that the corporation will probably do
extensive financing before January !
next" He said the company is m COM
Portable circumstances. has no diff
Guilty in obtaining such funds as it
desires on current borrowings, and
has no necessity for any further finan-
cling. The business of the United

Colt ".is we'll balanced between foot

former being its largest product and
tires being but about one-third of the

Good News From Boston

Wall Street, which had been bit

Speeding Up the Railroads

What the railroads have done and
are doing in the way of q more efficient
movement of cars was shown yesterday
by Robert S. Binkerd, assistant to the
chairman of the Association Of Rail
way Executives. Speaking at Colum-
bus, Ohio, at conference Of Exchange
Clubs of Middle Western cities, Mr.
Binkerd yesterday said that when the
government returned the railroads the
average mileage per car per day was
about 231a. To-day it is about 26.
BY this increase in efficiency during
the past few months, the executives
have in effect added the equivalent of
approximately 100000 new freight cars
to the service of the country, and by
increasing the average load per car to
nearly ton, have added the equivalent
of 10000 cars more. Not content with
this" said, Mr.. Binkerd, they have set
before. themselves the goal of raising
the average mileage per car per day to
thirty, and the average load to thirty
tons-records in railroad operation
which have never been achieved else
where"

A PosiTIy- UNDERTAKING.

The essentia thing is that the Re-
publican party pledged itself by plat
form. by the actions of its majority
in the Senate, by the repeated state
ments of Senator Harding, that they
undertake the fundamental mission
to put into living being the principle
of an organized association of nations
for the preservation of peace. The
carrying out of that promise is the
test of the entire sincerity. integrity
and craftsmanship of the Republican
party. That is a positive undertake
ing. 1t is an undertaking to estab-
lish such an association that will be
effectual as far as human hand can
make it effectual for its purpose.
The Republican party has indeed
pledged itself against the unmodified
covenant and those who support the
party are indeed voting against some
of the methods of the covenant in
putting this great principle into ac-
ton. But this position of the par
ty is as far as daylight from dark
from the attitude of those who wish
no League or no association for these
purposes. If there be persons sup.
porting the Republican party today
on. the belief or hope that this party
is The avenue to destruction of this
great principle, that the party will
not with sincerity and craftsmanship
carry out their pledges to bring it
into effect, then they are counting
on the insincerity and the infidelity
Of the Republican party and its no
ninee for the Presidency. ! do not
believe it would fail, or | would not
be here at this moment. If, BY any
chance, it should fail, it will have
made a deeper wound in the Ameri-
ian people than the temporary delay
IN our adherence to League of Ma
lions. 1t will have destroyed the
'onfidence of our people in party
government, it will have projected us
mo the dangerous path of party re-
alignment. Out of these paths grow
'adcalism, reaction, and conflicts
iuch as we have not yet had to meet
class conflicts.

BUDGET NECESSARY.

The first necessity is a proper exc
cutive budget. To minds charged
with the primary necessity of adj
vance planning, coordination, provi-
sion Of synchronizing parts in organ
izations, the whole notion of our hit
or-miss system of Federal finance is
wholly repugnant. A proper exc
cutive budget system provides basis
of organization that at least does not
paralyze administrative efficiency as
our committee system does today.
Through it, the coordination of ex-
penditure in government depart
ments, the prevention of waste and
overlapping in governmental bure-
aus. the exposure of the pork barrel.
and the balancing Of the relative IN
portance of different national actiyi

profound waste by overlap There

fundamental question on oar form of
government, and that is the conduct
and responsibility OF political parties,
Not since 1860 has there been such
n looseness of pa ty ties, such a lack
of conf dence in party machinery and
methods, su j searching scrutiny
of party lomises and purposes. The
Democratic party has failed in its
r, spcnsibiities. The Republican
party has made certain definite
promises to the country if it be plac
ed in government The question at
issue is: Shall the political parties be
mace to assume the responsibilities
for their actions and promises, both
low and in the future.
Our form of government is based
upon the expression through the bal
lot of the will of the majority. AL
though our Constitution makes no
provision for them. we have found
by practical experience over our en-
tire national life that we can only
give this expression through party
organization This political need
goes deeper than American expert
oncc. The ability TO change the
gov rnne emit and its policies by or
Ranized po itical parties giving an OPP
rJrtuai.y o the voices of the major
ity is the substitute of orderly
change thot Democracy has discov-
cred for the violence of revolution.
Therefore, as ours is q government
that must be based on parties, it is
fundamental that when a party fails
in craftsmanship or fails to carry out
its promise it must accept the pen
aIties of that failure. 1t should be
retired that its leadership may be re-
formed This is the real issue, and
rs Immensely more deeply seated than
superficial partisanship.
No more dangerous thing can come
to us than such a failure of our great
parties as to create n field for third
party growth. If we are to substain
party government, If we are to keep
two dominant parties in the field,
our parties, when in power, must
carry out their promises, must sue
coed in efficient government. must
find solutions for national difficult
les, must march in progress with the
times must represent the will of the
majority.

HANDLING OF SUGAR.

We have, since the armistice, gone
through period of unexplained
speculation and profiteering and, with
all the legislative powers which the
Government asked for, we have seen
nothing but the spectacular at
tempts of policemen to arrest ecOnO.
mic forces. There is no better eX.
ample OF the total futility of the
methods employed than in the handl-
ing of the sugar problem. Here is
a commodity in which the administra-
ton could have continued well-es-
tablished Organization, the Sugar
Equalization Board, could have pur-
chased through it the Cuban crop,
could have supplied the American
people with full and ample supplies
at a retail price of not more than ~
cents a pound. As a result of their
failure in this single item, our people
have paid as high as 80 cents a pound
for sugar, representing Is cents q
pound contribution to the speculat-
ors of the world. Eighteen cents is
a small sum, but when it is applied
to our monthly consumption of sugar,
il is over one hundred million dol
lars month charged upon
he American consumer. The
price Of sugar has recently fallen, the
collapse of fearful spec
llation, but what about the train of
profitable charges upon the COM
nunity it has left behind.

BURDENS ARE HEAVY.

We have to look forward to the
necessities of these next four years
and the burden that will be imposed
upon the Republican party if it is TO
make good its promises. Never be-
fore in our history have we been fac
cd with so many and so difficult a
series Of problems. | would make
no pretension of being able to utline
a solution to all of them. There are
two or three that / should like fur
Their to touch upon. One is the need
Of the reorganization of the business
machinery of our Federal Govern
ment. Our Federal machinery is the
result of hundred years of patch
work and has Jagged lamentably be-
hind the skill of Organization and adj
ministration of our people. The
strain of war gave daily vivid exhibit
tons of its weakness, its inability to
cope with great emo Urgency, and dis
played the tremendous wastes that
flowed from faulty organization.
Some of it's weakness have been
pointed out consistently for many
years. President Taft guided the
preparation of sound recommends
tions during the last two years of his
administration. Nothing has been
done since.
