situation is that there is an uncon-
scionable number of people getting re-

100000 families on the relief rolls or

Relief must be extended during such

stopped at the first wave Of return

THE PLIGHT OF THE RAILROADS

In normal times our railroads spend
in one year more than billion dol
lars for fuel, ties, rails and other sup
plies. They are industry's best Gus
toner.
They are the chief arteries of COM
merce and communication and upon
their ability to earn fair and adequate
return rests the financial safety and
future security of more than rs per
cent of our entire population--twice
as many persons as ever voted for a
President of the United States.
The railroads normally employ one
and half million people supporting
six million people. Although the buy
ing power of the railroads has been
greatly reduced they will spend this
year more than two and half thou
sand million dollars for labor and ma
terials.
The trouble which the railroads face
today is that they are hog bound and
tied down with too many regulations,
too many laws and too much red tape
One OF the problems OF Congress is to
release them, so they can put forth
initiative and enterprise to keep abreast
of the times and meet their new COM
petitors, the trucks and buses There
is no degree of fairness in making the
railroads buy and maintain their own
right Of way. while the public gen
erously furnishes highways for the
trucks and buses. The railroads are
not permitted to lower their rates or
tariffs to meet competition. The rail-
roads pay to the state of Minnesota
and to the counties through which they
run large sums in gross earnings taxes
and property taxes. To handicap them
50 they cannot make profit and Grip
pie them 50 they cannot pay their
taxes will further pass the cost of gov
eminent onto the real estate tax payer
Release the railroads from their
bonds and they will emerge from this
depression revitalized, ready to do their
share of rehabilitation The country
must have its railroads. Let's play
fair with Observation-Disclosures, Saint
James, Minnesota
