on twenty billions of dollars of rail- roads essential to the very life of the country-a net operating income at the beggarly rate of 1.72 per cent a yeax!
 The railway managers do not rel ish the destructive handling of their roads, resulting from neglected maintenance work. But they cannot help it. They are struggling the best they can to make both ends meet, to have the mortgage interest ready for the bondholders when they come around to collect it, to settle their current bills, to keep from piling up in receiverships. How can they spend what ought to be maintenance money on maintenance work when it is de- voured by excessive labor charges and other operating expenses? How can they pay it out for ties and spikes and ballast and rails, for freight cars and passenger coaches and locomotives, when they haven't got it to pay out? - @' How long,"' the head of a great. transc continental railroad system was asked the. other day, acan the roads stand this going without the right
 naintenance work and attention?" '' Well" he answered., "they twill get much grougher than they already are and it will make the train move ments more difficult and costly but they can stand it, the good ones, a few months longer" 3.af , But how much longer are the American people willing to have the national transportation system upon which hang the country's work, busi- ness and existence, go on heading for break down? How much longer do the railway workers, resisting wage scale adjustments, want it to go on heading for break down? How much longer win the United States Rail road Labor Board let it go on head ing for break down?
 This is the most serious national question that has confronted the country since the war.-N. Y. Herald

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
Man Needs Elm Still

The hired men between their chews had stopped and spat and aired their views where listening cows could hear the news. So Jersey Jane nudg- ed Guernsey Ann shifted her cud and thusbegan. q hear that Henry Ford allows that he can make some flivver cows,. and since he never works by halves, no doubt some motorcycle calves. Do you believe, good sister Ann, that we shall lose our use to man? Is our long history complete, and will they make us into meat?" Said Guernsey Ann to Jersey Jane, "I share your fears, I share your pain," To hold his peace no longer able, thus spake old Dobin from his stable: 70 pray excuse this horse laugh grinny. but wouldn't Lizzie's milk be tinny? It makes me smile, it makes me snicker, it makes me whinny, neigh and nicker. Your dams have known the herdsman's care since Eve was young and Eden fair. You topped with cream mans coffee cup ere good old Hector was pup, and folks won't risk their lights and livers by drinking milk that comes from fiivevrs. So Jane and Ann pray cease to weep, swallow your cuds and go to sleep. You still shall serve your human lords in spite of fifty Henry Fords."'

It seems that some action, either favorable or unfavorab1e to the trolley company should be taken or voiced by the community as a whole. Great Harrington called special meeting for this purpose and while no definite action was taken, it at least showed the sentiment of the people.

TRUTH ABOUT THE RAILROADS

The sooner railway workers, rail way investors and the general pub lie come to clear understanding of the extravagantly heralded improve ment in 1922 net earnings of the carriers, the better for them and the better for the country. Super painted rainbows lover and around the hard facts and the cold truth are not going to deliver the American transportation system out of the will derness; they are not going to assure the railroad capacity to haul the country's business when it emerges from the valley of despond. sS.s .i..' !.
 In March every producer of coal, every shipper and every consumer of coal, knew there was to be na- tionwide coal strike on April 1, and therefore everybody that mined coal and everybody that burned coal broke his neck to move coal from the mouth of the mine pit to side tracks and storage yards to the limit. In that last month before the strike the car loadings of coal ran some 200,- 900 week. This emergency coal haulage was quarter of all the traffic carried by all the railroads of the whole country. ..ll ...-.
 But, at that, the total net oper- ating income for March of the whole country's roads, $83,5O0,OOO, was a paltry matter for the great Ameri- can transportation system, when it is considered how it was achieved, with the intensely stimulated pre-war coal shipments and at the expense of the upkeep of the physical properties.
 The truth is that the railroads of the United States have been keeping the wolf from the door only by de- ferring or omitting proper, and in the long run imperative, maintenance charges. .
 Maintenance is putting down new, sound rails for worn out rails, re- placing old ties with fresh ties, keeping enough ballast in the road bed, repairing crippled locomotives and other rolling stock and renew ing such as is gone beyond reclaim And when railway maintenance is . not held up to the American meas urement and standard of long ex- perience the railroads are by way ot falling to pieces.
 Yet even iii March the railway expenses for maintenance, compared with March of the year before, were down ten millions of dollars. And \ir March, 1921, the sheer drop o1 maintenance work was already be coming a national railroad scandal For the first quarter of 1922 tht maintenance expenses, compared with the corresponding three months of 1921, were down more thar seventy-five millions of dollars.
 Under the enforced policy of let ting the physical railroad properties break down for lack of adequate maintenance. spendings, the total ne operating income of the carriers 1T the first quarter of this year, includ ing the extraordinary coal month o3 March, was only $161, ,000,000,/ Sub tract from that amount at least thu $75,0O0,000 which ought to have gone but did not go into maintenance of the properties, and there would b. left less than $86,00O, O,0OO--barel! three millions more than the book keeping net operating income show1 4 for the highly artificial coal strikl traffic of Marchsw r
