LOANS BOUGHT
RAILROAD

The first railroad purchase Of
Oris P. and Mantis J. Van Swer-
ingen, was made with borrowed
capital, according to the statisti-
cal report of the House Inter
state Commerce Committee ex-
perts, which set down in cold
figures the meteoric rise of these
transportation barons, it was
learned today.
Enriched BY Real Estate
The Van Sweringen Brothers
already had been enriched by
Cleveland real estate operators,
and joined others in 1915 in
forming a company to purchase
railroad stocks.
The first actual purchase, ac-
cOrding to the experts, was $780,
1872 shares of the Nickel Plate"
road from the New York Gen.
traI for $S,5OO,OOO.
Borrowed S2,1OO,OOO
The brothers paid $2,OOO,OO0
cash and borrowed $2,100,000
from the Guardian Savings and
Trust Company to make the cash
payment, the experts reported.
They gave notes for the re-
mainder. The report said:
ut is recognized that in
acquiring control of the New
York, Chicago and st. Louis
Railroad Company the terms
of the New York Central Rail
road Company and the loan
from the Guardian Savings
and Trust Company were oh
tanned in a large measure
through the pledging by the
Van SweringenS of their per-
onal credit and resources and
because of their reputation as
successful developers of sub
stantiaI business enterprises"

the United Business Service of
Boston states:
Despite the cheerful senti-

which will lift the general bust

PENNSY'S HUGE
P R D c R A NJ IS
CONSTRUCTIVE
Economist Claims Plan of
Rail Organization Is Move
Toward Better Business
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University Bureau
Of Business Research and Former
Economist Of Federal Trade
Com mission

OF Business Research ana FORMER
Economist of Federal Trade
Com mmissIOn
The recently announced and
revised improvement program of
the. Pennsylvania railroad appears
tc be a thoroughly desirable move.
1t is a construction program which
is truly constructive.
The company has decided to
proceed at once with plans to
improve various terminals, revise
it's route at points, increase the
number of tracks in congested
sections, and electrify between
New York and Washington. These
things it had planned to spread
over four years. Now it will push
the work to completion in less
time
The Job involves an expendi
ture of SITS, 100000. The beauty
of it is that the money will be
spent for truly productive pur-
poses, and the laborerS engaged
on the work will know that they
are doing something worth while.
They will earn their wages.
We can say a number of things
about this program that can
hardly be said about some CT the
improvement" the Government
is undertaking.
Benefits Are HiSh
1. The railroad is doing AOme-
thing that is really needed.
Shippers and travellers need
more ample and efficient trans
pOrtatiOn.
2. The work will be done
where 1t is most needed to re-
ieve CONGESTION and improve
service mot where the votes
are).
3. 1t is work that would be
done anyhow. 1t is not work to
make work.
4. 1t will result in productive
and profitable plant AMI equip
ment. The Investment will pay
for itself. This construction
will not result in an increased
output of commodities that are
already Overabundant, but will
reduce operating expenses and
improve service.
5. The job will be paid for
out Of earnings. Some financ-
ing is involved, but bond, will
be sold to investors who will
pay only what the earnings of
the company will justify. Grow
ing savings deposits and low
money rates indicate to the
company that this is a good
time to raise funds for prOduc-
tive purposes.
8. This program will not raise
our taxes one penny. We don't
have to pay for it. 1t pays for
itself.
!. 1t is not a "relief mea.
sure" but will help relieve de.
preston. The road does the
work now because it can do II
cheaply by taking advantage
of low prices for materials and
ample labor supply. The relief
is a side issue.
8. This is not politics, but
business. There will be no
scramble among Senators and
congressman on behalf Of their
constituencies, nor graft, nor
waste.
Money Well Spent
If 10 large companies could
undertake similar programs, we
would have an expenditure larger
than the soldiers bonus measure
involves.
The Pennsylvania job alone will
employ thousands of men direct
ly and thousands indirectly to
make the 6O,OOO,OOO pounds OF
copper and 100000 tons of steel
required. And these men will
work with the satisfaction and
self-reSpect born of the knowledge
that they are doing a real job.

ever, like all such situations, 1t fur
nishes an opportunity for those with
the courage and the resources to stick
1t out, says Tom Dobbs in the Snoho
mish Tribune. The low prices, it is
said, are due to the tremendous num-
Der of storage eggs now being thrown
en- the market. But one of the ma
items best poultry economists reports
that the poultry population of the
nation has been materially reduced
within the past year, and when the
storage supply of eggs has been de-
pleted, very distinct shortage will
soon develop.
Couple that prediction with the fact
that now while eggs are cheap thous-
ands of new ways are being found in
which to use them, and many families
are learning to use more of them, and
1t is easily evident that there will be
real money in the poultry business
after it turns the corner this spring
or summer
Probably the change will not be
felt before fall. The flock owner who
can hold on until then will, we be-
lieve, be repaid for his foresight ir
the splendid profits he will receive
during the next several years.
