A RAILROAD STATEMENT

The association of Railroad Executives recently is
sued a statement to the public which deserves the wild
est possible attention.
1t points out that the railroads were never better
able to serve our transportation needs than now; that
their properties are very modestly capitalized; that
they have been subjected to increasing financial pres
sure for many years, depression or no depression.
Perhaps most important of all, it points out that Of
the $12, 900, 600, 900 of railroad bonds outstanding,
$4,000, 900, 600 are held by insurance companies and
savings banks and s2,25o,ooo, 900 by endowment
funds of colleges, hospitals and similar institutions. AS
4 consequence, every one of US has a stake in the rail-
road problem.
The financial problems of the railroads have result
ed largely from our transportation policy. We have
refused to tax or regulate competitors Of railroads on
a basis Of equality, while ,~ubjecting the railroads to
restrictive and ~hampering regulation.
Equality of regulation for ALL common carriers is
essential to the public interest, which, in so many
particulars, parallels the railroad interest g

SAPPING TIE NATION

In a recent address, Harold McGugin, Represents
tive from Kansas, held that taxes are draining the life
blood Of the nation.
In 1918 the total annual tax burden of the country
was $4,000, ooo, ooo. At present, our ability to pay
is less than it was then. Yet in 1880 the total burden
reached $12,20o,ooo,ooo, and it is appreciably higher
now. Where, in 1913 the total public debt averaged
1885 per capita, it now averages more than $685. 90.
Congressman McGugin, like other qualified obser-
vers, lays the principal blame for exorbitant taxes on
the continual widening of government activities. More
and more billions are demanded for 'relief"-forv ven
lures into business, for subsidies for states. The great
bulk of these appropriations can benefit but a small
part Of the country, and must be paid for by people
who get little or nothing in return.
In concluding his address, Mr.. McGugin quoted an
editorial from the Galena, Kansas, Times, which criti-
cized the habit of many persons, who are opposed to
increased governmental activity in general, to ask for
it when they believe it to be in their interest, and said:
LET every weekly newspaper in the United States ex-
press that thought and sooner or later the people in
every nook and corner of this county will be awakened
to the need of reducing these governmental activities
...." That is true, and it should be remembered.
The country papers of the nation are we'll fitted to
lead in a campaign that will stem the rising tide of
taxation and prepare the way for renewed industrial
activity and stimulated employment.

On The Guarantee OF Bank DEPOSITS
To the Editor:
The report of the Committee on
Banking and Currency Ito accompany
Bill H. R. 1862, stated that Fed
eral Reserve banks shall pay
one-half of net earnings to member
banks to be prorated on basis of cap
ital stock held by member banks in
Federal Reserve banks and the other
half Of net earnings to a fund for the
guaranty of deposits"
In relation to the failures in the past
of guaranty laws in certain States, the
report continues:
The Inefficient examination, lax
administrations, and indiscriminate
granting of charters in States that
enacted guaranty laws furnish les
sons of great value in the tretara-
ton of mew legislation, and sbow
that it is practicable and advisable
to adopt d guaranty plan for the
nation.
1t is further stated: 1.-THE fund es-
tablished by this bill would have been
more than ample to have carried out
the purpose contemplated over the last
ten-year period. The Comptroller Of
the Currency testified that the total
losses to depositors in national banks
and member banks from the enact
ment of the national-bank law down
to 1880 amounted to only $4,000
ooo." This is a comparatively small
loss when we consider the fact that
during the last ten years 1890 banks
have failed, having deposits Of 81
500,00O,000.
1.-THE Government demands insur-
