A Henry" Railroad.

Topeka Capital: Henry Ford,s
success IN running a short railroad at
profit in these parlous times for
rallroading and everything else does
not necessarily signify that all rail
roads should be run at a profit under
present conditions. Henry Ford turn
ed out more cars last month than in
any month in the most prosperous
year in history and made more money
on the cars sold; yet in the same
month one of the big motor car fac
tories closed down, and others lost
money The fact that Henry Ford
makes money ''hand over fist" making
motor cars does not signify necessari-
~ that conditions are such that other
people can make money making other
motor cars.
If Henry Ford were making the
Rolls Royce, which closed down tenn
porarily last month, he would not be
making the money that he is making
in producing the Ford If he were
running the Erie railroad, he would
not be making the money that he
makes running the Detroit, Toledo &
. lreton. The Henry Ford railroad is
making money, but so are a few other
railroads. The Lackawanna railroad
declared a 100 per cent stock dividend
the other day and paid it last month
1t is in railroads what the Henry is in
ears.
In short, the success of Henry Ford
in running little railroad is not a
large enough yardstick to take any
measurements with whatever. New.
ertheless it will be a stimulus to rail
road arrangements and will be thrown
up at them as an example of what can
be done. And when all allowances are
made, it is an example Of a railroad
which had been losing money, chang.
ed in management and converted into
railroad that is making money. II
will put the railroads to considerable
trouble and expenditure of energy tt
explain to the public just the why anc
wherefores of the pestiferous fact
that Henry Ford converted this veal
a losing road into profitable railroad
