Tho country A destined to hear much dis
cu'son Of the railroad problem during the re
maindcr Of the summer season. President
Iarding's recommendation To congress- that
the roads be paid additional rums, guarantees
that The country, too. ls becoming moro and
moro opposed to this ccasclcss feeding OF tho
railroads from tho public treasury, 80 that much
OF the discussion will be acrimonious
After all. the railroad problem s simple
one. The railroads have simply become over
loaded with obligations and Geek to avoid that
shrinkagc which has ovcrtakcn every othor
property interest In tho country Thirty years
ago existing conditions would have resulted In
no problem to the government or country. Re
cause the railway corporation finding Itself
overloaded would have either gone voluntarily
into court for relief or II would have been
taken there on involuntary proceedings. And
under a rccoivorshp or bankruptcy proceed
ings would have had ltsclf relieved OF its over
load.
Nor would the road cease to function under
such conditions There Is scarcely n railroad
In the country but has been through that cN-
perlence In former years. why the hosltancy
now Railroads are private corporations even
though they are charged with aemi official
responsibility to the public It is no more tho
proper function OF government to go to their
financial relief than 1t is tho proper function
OF government To 30 to the financial relief OF
gas distributing concern, telegraph COM
'pany or even department store.
II the railroad has permitted itself to be-
come overloaded In tho way OF financial obl-
cations instead OF asking government to at
ford Il financial relief, or the public to pay
higher rates that It may liquldatc It's indcfcns-
bic obligations, 1t should go TO the courts
for that relief available to any other private
business. Then with a clean sheet, shorn OF its
unnecessary burdens, the road would find itself
easily able TO meet It's necessary obligations
under current tariffs and existing income.
Private fortunes have hccn taken out Of the
roads which tho public waA called on to pay in
the first instance and which 1t Is being re
qured to pay dividends on now This process
is going on and will continue to go on indcfi-
nitely until the railroad properties are "hrunkon
TO their proper proportions.
I. ia very necessary that tho railroad prob.
lem bo approached without prejudice to tho
owners OF the roads But surely It is equally
necessary that It be approached without prcju-
dice to the public which has put tho values In
tho properties and which must, In tho last an
aIysls, supply any funds required in the solu-
ton OF the problem.
There are excessively wealthy men today who
made their millions out OF railroad promotions
and railroad Juggling Much of the burden the
roads labor under comes from this source Tho
stockholders OF a national bank which permits
Itself to got into the predlcamcnt the railroads
are now in would be required to yield ror-
uou ~ their posscsslops to relieve the bank cor
porauon. II tncrc is a sound reason why such
