Declares Godsden
(Hy Associated Presa.l

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 4-P. H.
Gadsden, of Philadelphia, president
of the American Electric Railway
Association, declared today at the
opening of the organizations annual
convention that most lines had shak-
en- off "the fve-cent fare fetish"
Replacing it, he said, was the flex-
ible fare, which goes up or down with
operating costs. He asserted that
establishment within the last few
years by courts and regulatory bodies
of the principle that traction COM
panies could not be forced to operate
at a loss had provided secure foun-
dation for the future financing of the
industry.
Despite outstanding suspensions OF
lines, Mr.. Gadsden continued, the in
dustry's general condition was en-
couraging.
"An analysis of the operations OF
group of rs city and interurbar
roads," he said, "shows that in the
six months ending June 80, the oper'
ating revenue was $146,100,956 as
compared with $141,7O1,543 for the
same period in 1920.
an other words, during the last
six months, when business generally
in this country has been almost pros
trate, the electric railways show al
actual increase in revenue of owe
three percent as compared with thu
same six months of 1920. Only fou
or five electric railways have cease
to operate, while 100000 men ant

work. The army of the unemployed
is not recruited to any appreciate
extent from the ranks of the street
railway.
"This remarkable showing has been
accomplished in the face of relent-
less and unrestricted competition by
auto buses and pitneys."
Declaring that electric railways
had escaped since the beginning OF
the war from slavery to certain
false economic theories" Mr.. Gads-
den said:
"There seems to be an impression
that because the electric railways are
regulated by law they are exempt
from the casualties which befall all
unregulated lines of business when
either the business is being done at
an unremunerative price or when the
volume of business falls off owing
to general industrial conditions.
"While it was taken as matter
of course that Steel mill, or a tex
tile mill, or a shoe factory must make
profit on it's operations or shut
down, the electric railways were
thought to be immune from the OPP
Grafton of such economic laws. We
have at last succeeded in dispelline
this illusion on the part of the public
"The fact that under an order OF
the Federal Court the street cars oil
Des Moines, a city of 10000 popu'
lation, absolutely ceased to operate
and that the city has been without
street car service of any kind fol
weeks, cannot fail to convince thu
public that electric railways, like any
other business, will close down un
less the revenue are sufficient to sup
port them. Under the same condi
tions the same situation will presen
itself, in different parts of this coun
try"

"While doubtless many bankers 80
years ago knew that no great pros

hard times could be utilized by the
banks to exact excessive interest
and otherwise take advantage of the
situation. Under such narrow views
of banking ethics, is it wonder
that the public was suspicious?
