The man who writes more deposit

THE RAILROAD SITUATION

The railroad situation is this. The
the country between FIVE hundred and
six hundred million dollars. all of
which is from a year to a year and q
half overdue. This is made up OF what
the government owes for the use OF
the railroads during the war. While
the railroads were in government
hands the government spent 1868.
900. 900 on extensions and PERMANENT
improvements. The railroads paid off
$3.50, 100000, leaving $533.OOO.OOO unset
tied The railroads would not have
ATTEMPTED to make such improvements
out OF certain income. They contend
that many Of the supposed betterments
they would not have made at all. but
that they were war necessities. IN any
event the railroads would havefnaneed
their improvements by the sale OF
bonds.
The government must get the money
without increasing taxes. so the plan
Is for the railroad administration to
sell to the war finance corporation the
half billion dollars of bonds which the
railroad administration is to receive
from the railroads in payment FOR
permanent improvements. The war H.
nance corporation in turn would OBJ
tain the money by selling it's own
notes disposing of the railroad bonds
when conditions became favorable.
This is greatly desired by the rail :
roads. This half billion dollars is the
thing they need most. they say. once
a will Rates can be reduced and a
lot of things accomplished that are i'm
possible under the present difficult
conditions
