than the minimum they ought te

When the carriers were returned
to their owners their treasures
were dangerously depleted. They
could not be strengthened because
of the negligible net earnings since
reported. In consequence, it has
been impossible for the companies
to pay their bills promptly. One
railroad is understood to have bills
payable of $65,000,000 The Gov
eminent is said to owe this road
over S10G. 100000. This is doubtless
a typical situation.
A prompt and liberal settlement
of the accounts between the Rail

in all American literature. 1t is a
tale of New England childhood, in

and going away to boarding school.
Miss Pickford has made the roll of
the little heroine fairly live upon the

For the older folks it cannot help but
strike reminiscent chords, and the

difficulties. The primary cause is
the high cost of labor and materials,
and these costs are almost wholly
beyond the control of the railway
manager. AS Mr.. Julius Krutt-
schnItt, Chairman of the Southern
Pacific, points out in a very illumi-
mating letter just sent to stock
holders, 81 cents out of every dollar
of operating expenses were paid TO
labor at prices fixed by the Govern
ment; IS cents additional went for
materials and supplies at prices

cents were paid for expenses in
Cured by the Government in the
first two months of 1920 when the

control. Therefore a total of 82H
cents out of each dollar of expenses

tically fixed by the Government it.

October, 1919.
FARM PRODUCTS-This years wheat crop now estimated at
8o million bushels, as compared with 1913 million bushels
prewar normal. Recent price declines despite large exports.
Corn prospects splendid. Cotton acreage reduced 25%, and
market conditions still unfavorable.
IRON N TEEL-Industry operating at from 20 to 80 per
cent. capacity, which is lowest ebb in many years. Produc-
ton is below consumption, indicating storing up of future
demand. Stocks are depleted.
GUEL-Soft coal sales depressed. Price recession under way.
Little demand for steam coal. Anthracite production prac-
tically normal.

Current Business Conditions
(From the Monthly Letter Issued by TIE National City Bank of New York for july
TIME present situation OF the
railroads of this country is so

railroads of this country is 81
intimately related to curren
business conditions that it shoult
be thoroughly and generally under
stood, because only with the hell
of constructive public opinion car
the railroads hope to regain tht
ground they have lost.
Contrary to the charge that Is
frequently made, we do not believe
that current freight rates are re-
sponsib1e for the present low trend
of business throughout the country.
The causes OF commercial depres-
sion are worldwide and are not to
be found in domestic transportation
charges. When business was good
last Fall the largest tonnage in the
history of the country was offered
the railroads, despite the advanced
ust 10Th. To-day ocean tonnage
rates are at the lowest levels in a
great many years, but ocean traffic
is suffering perhaps even greater
stagnation than rail traffic. There
are many commodities that would
not move even if the roads offered
to carry them free, for the simple
reason that no market exists for
them.
One simple case illustrates the
point: Texas farmers in April re-
ceived SIS a ton for spinach. The
freight rate to Chicago was $30.3f
a ton. The retail price at that tim,
was $500 a ton, or $264.64 more than
the railroad and the grower to-
gether received. Whether the far
mer would be benefited in the
slightest by a reduction of freight
rates under those conditions is
hardly debatable.
Regardless of the present level of
rates, it must be borne in mind that
this country has been built up by
the means of the cheapest trans
portation in the world. So we be-
lieve that ultimately a general re-
duction in rates is essential, but that
cannot come until railway operating
costs have been substantially re-
duced. Until then no reduction is
defensible. Railway rates are on a {
war level because railway costs are Z
on a war level. Business would be

CHIEF T TAFT

President Harding has very wisel.
ward Taft chief justice of the Z. 5
supreme court, to succeed the late
Chief Justice White. Mr.. Taft viii
prove an able successor to the late
chief justice OF the nations highest
tribunal, and the naming of Mr.. Taft
to the office will call forth practically
unanimous approval.
The chief justiceship is a fitting
berth for Mr.. Taft, a nan wha has
served his country faithfully and well
in the highest office Of the land.
The fact that, when the nomination
of MIR. Taft came up for confirmation
in the senate, -four senators-Borah, of
Idaho, Johnson, of California, La
toilette, of Wisconsin, and Watson,
of Georgia, the latter a democrat-op-
posed the appointment, should not be
taken seriously. With these four ex-
ceptions, democrats and republicans
united in confirming the nomination,
and Mr.. Taft will assume the robes of
his office confident that he has the
support and approval of the American
people. MI. Taft has no occasion to
fret over whOt the BOrahs, the La
follettes, the Johnsons and the Wat
sons think or say of him, nor will the
genial ex-president lose any of his
avoirdupois because of their rantings.

President Harding has invited the
great powers Of the world to meet in
conference to discuss disarmament.
The invitation is greeted with joy by
a war-wearied world and no doubt
good will come from it. If the United
States takes the lead other nations
will follow. With decreasing arma-
ment the danger of war will decrease.
Germany would never have started the
world war had she not been so we'll :
armed that she thought she could {
whip the world before it could arm {
as she was armed. That is a standing '
and a terrible lesson to those who be- n
lieve the danger of war is averted by
increasing armament. Senator Borah t
of Idaho, is responsible to a greater =
than any other individual, for r
the action which President Harding a
was almost forced to take.

ENCOURAGING REPORTS.

Business is beginning to look up, and an examin-
alton of opinions of authorities industry and fl

Of the less optimistic incline toward the view that
1t will be the spring before material progress
is made But all agree that improvement is certain
Out of many opinions just made public that OF

ciation of New York. may be selected representa-
tive and comprehensive He dscerns better tone In
the business world and adds although few indus
tries have yet benefited by increased volume of
business there are indications that the country is
beginning slowly to pull out of serious business and
Industrial depression. The crop outlook. with one
or two exceptions, is good. Many OF the railroads
are reporting increased earnings Redscount rates Of
the Federal Reserve banks have been lowered, and
there are other indications of easier money"
Coincident with this and similar opinions come
reports OF more men being put te work in railroad
shops. of more building contracts being let of the
resumption of work in many mills and factories. and
of freer movement of freight. The weekly report
OF the American Railway association dscoses gains
in the amounts of all commodities transported by
the railroads during the last week, coal and ore
being the only exceptions The increase Of loaded
cars over the previous week was e.222 making the
Number of cars loaded during the week reach the
total of 796,570.
Though small this increase Is sufficient to show
that an Improvement has set In in business condf-
