Illinois Central System Clears Up Point About

cent avaHabe for dividends engagements and Improvements. This is far from
beng true. There is great difference between met railway operating income" and
"ne income"
Accounting methods are prescribed for the railroads by tn Interstate Com

There arec certain fxed charges, howeve, which must be paid before the met

Some railroads Jared better than others during 1921, just as ome business men

am So interested in the American Mer-
chant Marine, when | am farmer and
not a sailor and my home is 300 miles
from New Orleans, the great ocean
puIt Of my State Well, my studies
OF economies and of public questions
have forced on me the belief that of
all the many workers i'm the country
the farmer is more directly con-
ccrned with ships and shipping than
almost any other person except the
sailor himself. Moreover, / am very
proud of New Orleans, which Is sec
Ond only to New York in the value Of
its overseas commerce. Hence il Is
intensely interested in ships flying the
American flag.
Foreign Trade Vital to Farmer
II il weren't for ships the farmer
would be forced 10 reduce his acreage
very materially and To learn some
other ways of making a living. II il
weren't for our foreign trade, there
would be little money for comforts
and Injuries for the man living in the
country. The connection is direct and
people are beginning TO realize il, II
they haven't realized il already.
Farmers Of the south and the west
have only 20 look back on the early
days of the World War to know what
ships mean 10 us We have only TO
remember how completely the bottom
dropped out of cotton and the need of
Che Buy-a-Bale movement. We only
need think about the nights spent
in counting up resources and esti-
mating notes about TO mature, TO
realize what Il meant for foreign
trade 10 be cut of, even partly. Those
bad days brought home 10 us the need
of ships as nothing else has in this
generation.
When the World War broke out in
1914, about nine per cent. of our
foreign commerce was bein gcarried
in American ships. We were prac-
tically without a merchant marine
owned and operated by Americans.
In 1916, after German submarines had
destroyed millions Of tons of ships,
the government recognized the need
of putting our shipping back on the
seas. Little was accomplished, how
ever, before we entered the war in
1917. We then realized our helpness-
ness and the folly of allowing our
marine to fall of the way we had.
The paralysis TO our export COM
merce we shall never forget. A great
part Of our grain, cotton. meat prod
ucts, lumber, copper and manufac-
tured goods available for export,
could not be moved. Our producers
and the farmers formed the greater
part of thcm-loSt billions of dollars
and FOR time our national prosperity
was imperilled. The whole country
felt the effect. but the farmer felt It
most of all
What shipping remained In service
