Net railway operating income
was shown to be 216,704,345 in

compared with $120,9OO,56 for

a return of 1.64 per cent on the

in 1852.
While the return so far this year
is far below any reasonable figure,
the fact that it is more than SO
per cent above last year, is an en-
couraging sign.

AN FOR
SERVICE

The warning comes from every
side that the Winter of 1854
is going to be the hardest yet,
from the point of demands upon
public and private funds for relief
of distress.
While there are more workers On
the p~ayrolls and projects Of public
works and private enterprises are
beginning to show signs of life,
yet there are perhaps as many peo-
pie who have just reached the end
of the rope as there are whose diff
ficulties have been lessened by get
ting back to work.
Millions have been living on their
capital through these past four
hard years. Many of these have
exhausted their savings and will
be forced to look to Others for
help in keeping warm and getting
enough to eat this winter. Other
millions have been giving to the
relief funds until they, too, are
feeling the pinch severely, And
all of the sources of help based up
on taxation r running dry.
We are confident that the peak
of the depression has been passed,
that the upturn has really begun.
But as President Roosevelt told the
gatherings at the Catholic Charities
Association the other night, the
hardest pull is still ahead of us.
More than ever is it necessary
now for everyone who can to help
those who cannot help themselves.
Looked at in one way, it should
not be a burden but a joyous priv
elege to be able to feel that one
has done something for the benefi,
of somebody else.l There is no sat
,isfaction in life like the satisfaction
of unselfish service. And now, il
ever, is the time when those salts.
factions are available to everybody
everywhere.

WHERE IS THE MONEY TC
CONE FROM?

1.-THE nation is soon to call up
on the public utilities to place
huge capital orders for materials
and machinery in order to reviv
the heavy industries which are
large employers says an editorial
in the Riverside, California, En-
terprise. "a glance at the present
quotations of utility stocks, which
drop with each new onslaught of
the public ownership, brigade
makes one wonder how they will
raise the money for an expansion
program.
Elsewhere the Enterprise speaks
of demagogic efforts to "harpoon'
the utilities. That describes the
situation aptly. They have been
attacked. on the one hand. with
tax-free, subsidized public COM
petition. and on the other by the
assessment of many special taxes
which have appreciably raised op-
Grating costs and in many instances
imperiled the paying of dividend
They have been the victims of an
insidious campaign of half-truths
and untruths. They have sub
scribed to lower working hours
and raise wages-and in a number
of the states commissions have said
definitely that this increased ex-
pense, made in the interest of ma
tional recovery, at the request of
the President, would not be con-
sidered grounds for ate adjust
ments.
This is the position the utilities
are in now. They have always
been among the first to expand
and encourage progress, when COM
munity and national interests made
it desirable. They have been, and
still, are one of the two or three
greatest tax-paying and wage-pay-
ing industries. And it is doubtless
true that utility arrangements are
eager to do their. part in buying
materials and supplies to invigorate
other industries. If they are I'M
able to earn or attract the capital
which would make this possible,
demagogc political policies which
have been undermining them, must
take their full share of the blame.

THE TAXPAYERS TRANSPOR-
TATION DEFICIT

"Howt many -. trucks would
be running today if the owners had
to build and maintain roads for
them to operate over?" That is
the potent question asked by A. R.
McDonald, member of the Public
Service Commission of Wisconsin
in an address pointing out the
burning need for transportation
regulation that will regulate all
carriers alike, and give all carriers
an ever break in obtaining bust
ness.
We're a long way from that
common sense basis now, as Mr..
Mcdonald points out. Using his
own state, Wisconsin,, as an example
of a general condition, he shows
hat highway users are definitely
not paying for what they get.
During the Is years between 1918
and 1880, inclusive, the state and
local subdivisions spent about
613,OOO,OOO On roads and bridges.
Interest on the highway invest
ment; figured even at the low rate
government pays for money, comes
to more than 100000 900 a year.
In that time motor vehicles con-
tributed direct highway taxes of
$1,000 900, the bulk of which
came from the gas tax. Only the
absurdly small sum of $4,000
came from the ton-mile tax on
motor common carriers. Federal
highway tax totaled 1000, 900,
bringing the gross received by the
state for its roads to $143,O60,O0O
'-23.3 per cent of the expenditure.
The balance, $40, 200, 900, came
directly or indirectly out of gen.
eral property and other taxes.
All this time, of course, the
railroads were paying their way in
Wisconsin as they were elsewhere.
They were paying millions in taxes
to the state part of which went
for the highways on which their
competitors operated. They were
being subjected to the most unfair
kind of competition possible. :
This program needs dispassionate
study and swift action. The fact
that and more unprejudiced
officials such as Mr.. Mcdonald,
with his intimate knowledge of the
facts, are accentuating its import
ance shows how vital it is to the
public.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD LAW

We refuse to get excited either

who are calling the Presidents re-
covery program a failure and pre-
dieting that it won't work.
We don't know whether it will
work OF not; and in making that
statement we are merely echoing
the words of President Roosevelt
himself, who frankly admits that
it is an experiment. An expert
ment, as we understand the word,
is an effort to do something that
has never been tried before. 1t
works or it doesn' t work, and until
the experiment has been finished
nobody can tell which way it will
turn out.
The test will be whether the
people ike it or not, after it is all
in action. Nobody at Washing
ton or anywhere else will. have to
tell us whether the experiment is A
success or a failure. We will
know. We will either like it OF
not like it after it has been in op~
Grafton long enough to show us all
just how it affects each of us. And
if we don't like it, it won't work,
while if we do like it,, it will work
