BELT BOND ISSUE
LEFT TO ELECTORS
LEE AND PETERMAN FORCE DE
ciSloN BY CONVENTION
COMMITTEE.
BRIDGE BONDS ARE PROVIDED
Commissioners Fear Antipathy To
Taxes May Defeat Extension Plan
River Bridge Bonds of Fiji
teen Million Passed.

Baton Rouge, La. - A determined
stand by L. P. Lee Of Mansfield and
Wilson T. Peterman OF Franklin
chairman Of the committee on NUM-
cipal and parochial corporations OF
the Constitutional Convention, recent
ly forced the decision as to whether
the Public Belt railroad may issues
S5,000,000 Of bonds for the extension
of it's lines, to be left to the ballot OF
the electorate Of New Orleans in No
yember, 1922.
The ordinance providing for the
bond issue gives the city the right te
levy a tax to refund them in the event
the revenues from the railroad are
insufficient Messrs. Lee and Peter
man took the stand that no tax or
probability of a tax should be a5m'
posed upon the people without their
consent and that a sinking fund
should be created to pay off the debt
They had a majority Of the committee
with them and members of the Belt
Commission finally accepted all that
was left open to them.
The Belt Commission was frank in
giving it's reason for not desiring the
subject of bond issue to be SUBJ
mitted to a referendum. While the
possibilities are remote Of tax ever
being levied to pay off the bonds, as
the ordinance provides that they are
to be paid off out Of the revenues OF
the railroads, the commissioners were
fearful that the public's natural anti
patty to taxes might serve for its de-
feat at the polls.
The committee gave . favorable re-
port to another ordinance providing
for the issuance of $15,000,000 OF
bonds for the building Of bridge
over the Mississippi River by the Pub
Tic Belt railroad. This ordinance spe'
officially states that they are to be paid
out Of the revenues Of the bridge after
its construction and Is minus OF any
tax feature.
Two Public Belt ordinances were
introduced One by Ivy G. Kttredge
provided for the Incorporation In the
new constitution of the present laws
creating the Belt Commission, includ'
ing a few changes, among them the
$4,000. 900 bond issue. The other one
was introduced by Bernard ]. DAILY OF
New Orleans and permitted OF car
rygin on of the bridge project.
Both ordinances were referred to a
subcommittee Of the committee on
municipal and paroachial corporations
composed of Charles Rosen, Former
Mayor Behrman and Mr.. Lee. 1t re.
ported back substitute ordinance for
each Of them, and these were brought
up for action The two substitutes
were prepared by the Belt Railroad
Commission with the consent of the
introducers, and the subcommittee
was unanimous in favorable report
for the bridge ordinance.
On the other substitute, however.
Mr. Lee and Mr.. Rosen reported they
could not give favorable report be.
cause of it giving the right to levy a
tax in the event the railroads reve-
nue. proved insufficient to pay off the
100000 bond Mr. Behrman favor.

the committe for action.

RAILROAD SUBSIDIES

For many years attempts were made
in congress to put thru a measure
granting government subsidies to
American shipping, but always these
attempts fat fed, because the plan was
strongly opposed by public sentiment.
Yet the government granted subsidies
to the railroads and their employees
in the form of increased rates and
increased wages, and there was hard
~ a protest.
There was some excuse for subsidiz-
ing our shipping because American
ship owners could not compete with
foreign owned and manned vessels
But our railroads had no such COM
petition. These subsidies to the rail-
roads and their employees are paid di-
rectly from the federal treasury with
money wrung from the taxpayers or
are paid by the patrons thru increased
freight and passenger charges.
There are only two major problems
connected with railway transporta-
dion. One is the necessity of putting
tine railroad industry on a self-sup-
porting basis. The other is the oblf-
CATION to fix such rates as will permit
che normal flow of freight traffic and
passenger travel. Wages must be
proportionate to the production Of the
employees. Naturally. If the railroads
are to live, the payroll item must
leave a margin sufficient to induce
new capital to provide extensions and
improvements.
Railroad labor in this country, Says
the wollman Review, entertains about
the same attitude toward its obliga-
tions as labor in other countries
Great Britain for example. The coal
miners in England insisted that tfls
government substitute their industry.
The margin between operating costs
and selling price would not permit the
old scale of wages, and they asked for
a contribution from the treasury to
make up the difference. Manifestly
the employees We're not producing on a
basis that would provide a margin,
and they wanted the community to
make up the deficit. The miners were
not paying their way by their own eff
forts. The coal they mined could not
be sold on terms that would permit
the operators to accede to their de-
mands.
This is the situation in which tho
railroads find themselves today. They
cannot sell their service at the price
charged for enough to pay labor costs
The rate increases designed to give
