R. R. 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
p%ortation Says Roads Must Be
Self.Supporting or Become
Bankrupt.

In an address on THE Railroad Pun.
sle," delivered in Philadelphia, Janu-
AIRY 3, DR.. Emory II. johnson, dean of
the Wharton School of Finance. and
on railroad transportation, declared
that after the first of March the COM
panieS must be self-supportins or be-
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.
"lf the carriers avoid failure their
income must cover operating expenses,
maintenance and capital charges; IL
the companies succeed to the extent
that is demanded in public interest,
they must not only be able to meet IN.
%avoidable expenses, they must have
some surplus revenue.
If 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.
"The income Of the carriers is deter.
mined by public regulation, and prop.
er!y so; but from this it follows that
the country must decide between Il
policy Of adequate revenues to the
railroad corporations of the future and
a policy OF government ownership.
THE government is entitled to credit
for having given greater unity to rail
road operation. both line and terminal.
1t has done much that the carriers
were prohibited from doing. The pub.
lie now realize that cooperation OF
the carriers in the joint use of equip.
ment and terminals should be encuur.
aged. instead of prevented.
1.-The railroad legislation now pend-
ing in Congress must solve maj! diff
cult questions. but the most critical one
is 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 to 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"

BROAD STAND ON
FARMER BY WOOD
HE TELLS HIS OPINION OF AGRi.
CULTURES NEEDS AT
THIS TIME.

Chicago, ul.-In an answer to q
query from one of the leaders Of
a%gricurists Of the county, Leonard
Wood. Republican candidate for
presidential nomination.. yesterday
gave one Of the most candid state.
ments of his position toward the
farmer that has ever been published
by a political candidate.
After declaring that the decline of
agriculture is one of the greatest dan.
gers the country faces, and that the
farmer, as the backbone of the nation,
is entitled to every administrative Ell.
c|ouragement and a square deal all
around, Wood gave AS the salient
points in his agricultural beliefs:
81. The farmer sacrificed much dur
Ing the war. We W. him a debt OF
gratitude we never can repay for his
stanch loyalty.
~ Education for farm children
should be us easily accessible aud on
as high II plane us thai Of city chill
dren. with vocational training TO the
last degree. In u brUad, consolidated
school system.
70. We must give the rural districts
good ronds, for commerce aud rcla
lions.
u. There must be n department OF
agriculture in full and intelligent. 70
operation with the farmer and the
great farm organizations.
y. l believe in Il far closer connrc
ton between producers and consumers
or food. Too small a portion Of the
consumers cost gets back to the
farmer.
&c. HonrdIng Of food supplies should
he vigorously suppressed.
Y. Secure provision should be made
to enable farmers to get adequate
credit to extend farming interests.
-. There should be bigger supplies
Of fertilizer available at cheaper
rates.
-. ! believe that the treatment OF
cooperative organizations Of farmers
should he with the same consideration
as to, other organizations under simi
lar circumstances.
nc. ] believe In the gradual ahOfi
ton OF farm tenancy and encourage
ment OF ownership OF land by the IN
dlvidunl farmer.
I'll. ! believe In n wide extension OF
the farm bureau system which Gems
well fitted To solve many Of the eco
monte questions which confront the
farmer problems Of production and
distribution"

Cured on the premises of the Bangor
& Aroostook Railroad at Wiley Road
Crossing, resulting in the death OF
Emily Wright and injuries to Arnold
Jocelyn and Barney Devou.
Emily Wright of Houlton was in
stantly killed, and Arnold Jocelyn and
Barney Devou were quite seriously
injured about 1.22 p. NJ, Sept. 10, 1920,
when the automobile in which they
were riding was struck by southbound
Bangor g. AroostoOk passenger train
No. 4 at Wiley Road crossing, about
four miles north of Houlton. Mr..
Deyou states that he was driving
, about Is miles an hour and that he
did not see or hear the train until he
was right at the crossing.
"Devou lives in that vicinity and
, must have been familiar with this
crossing Although the vision was
not clear, he might easily have avoid
ed the accident had he taken the pre-
cautions which he ought to have
taken. The fact that the vision was
not clear made it all the more in
cumbent upon him to make certain
. that no train was approaching before
he attempted to go over the crossing.
This is another case of this un-
necessary sacrifice of human life
because the automobile driver failed,
not only to exercise the extraordinary
care which the law requires of every
person who, approaches railroad
crossing, but in this case. apparently
failed to observe even the most ordi-
nary precaution."
