WHEN Mr.. Baldwin says that
w the railroads handle IS per
cent of the total transportation
business, we take it he means
three-quarters of the combined
freight and passenger business.
Thus, One-quarter of the nations
volume is left for the waterways,
BUSES and trucks and air lines.
That the railroads have been able
TO maintain such a high percent
age Of the total business in the face
of the interlopers would seem to
be a fine record.
Furthermore, If IS per cent of
the business is handled by the
railroads and Is per cent by water
carriers, then the spokesman for
the industry have been barking up
the wrong tree for several years.
II is a matter of common knOwl-
edge that miscellaneous railroad
interests have been bemOaning the
fact that buSses and motor trucks
are taking away their business. On
the basis Of Mr.. Baldwin's reason
ing the motor lines have but 10
per ent of the total vlOUme TO
share with the aviation industry.
That railroads should be placed
on a parity with their competition
in regard to regulation and taxa
49,, .sr.vs
Act of 1885. recently passed by
Congress. is a step in that direct
ion. But there seems to be more
to the matter Of Prosperity and
the Railroads" than equal regula-
ton and taxation. There is a grow
ing suspicion in some quarters that
financial structures loom large in
the matter of niggardly railroad
earnings.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-08-22

MIR. BALDWIN'S own road, for
WI instance. will make headlines
when its reorganization proposal
is subjected to thorough
airing before the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Charges and
counter charges probably will fly
thick and fast at this hearing, for
the plan must satisfy owners Of SO
types of Indebtedness and 80 classes
of stock.
Railroads get themselves into
embarrassing financial positions
BY their own short -SightedneSS.
Bonds of these companies rarely
contain sinking fund provisions
that would allow the road to APP
portion a part of each years earn
ings toward the retirement of the
issue. Instead. the bond natures in
a lump sum and. unless refunding
is possible. must be paid off in
cash. A large proportion of the
outstanding bonds which mature
after the year 1000 are those of
railroad companies.
The railroad industry has
Jagged behind in the recovery
which has occurred recently. If
railroad prosperity and general
business prosperity are synony-
NOUS. as Mr.. Baldwin states. then
carriers should have contributed
more to the upward move than
they have. Perhaps legislation and
taxation have acted as a brake on
revival. Perhaps, too. top-heavy
capital structures are very inn
portant element in the situation.

MIRA MAY LAST BUT 10 MONTHS
 IS PLAN NOW
Senate Democrats at Odds with President on
 Extension

WASHINGTON, May 11-Presi- dent Roosevelt is at odds here with a movement in the Senate to con- tinue the National Recovery Ad- ministration only ten months more. Senate Democrats, at a conference, backed a plan to trim the Blue Eagles wings somewhat by extend ing it's life only until April l, 1886.
 Leaders held that any insistence upon a longer extension might lead to a long floor fight which would destroy chance of passing the new legislation before the present MIRA law expires on June Is of this year.
 In the face of this situation, the President reiterated his pre- ference for a two-year extension. Some observers are regarding his expression as an indication that he is counting on the House to pass and insist upon a bill closely in line with his wishes.

Party Stages See Little
 Chance, Radicals Uniting
By BYRON PRICE tChief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

The newspaper reader who finds himself bewildered by the confus- ing welter of present-day political headlines may claim at least this consolation: he has plenty of dis stinguished company.
 The plain truth is that even the most experienced and astute of the politicians do not know what to think.
 They do not know the real ex- tent of recent defections from Pres ident Roosevelt, they can only guess at the actual strength of the various left wing uprisings, and they have no idea what the Republicans will do in 1886.
 Only few elements of the situa- tion stand out clearly enough to be recognized as facts by all schools of political planners.
 One is the universally accepted belief that MT. Roosevelt will be renominated as the Democratic candidate next year.
 Another is the conviction that the only hope of the Republican lies in the attainment of a unity which does not ne0 exist.
 A third is the indication that the chances all are against any ef- fective union of the various inde- pendent groups which are talking so loudly of independent action in the coming campaign.
 Canvass of Sentiment Seen
 Beyond these rather elemental conclusions few politicians are will ing to go, unless they are talking for publication and for political ef- feet
 There is no certainty. for instance, what sort of campaign, MT. Roose- welt will find 1t advisable to make whether he is likely to incline to the right, or the left, or, adopt a middle course calculated to please all but the extremists on both sides.
 It is highly interesting circum- stance that Democratic headquar- ters is contemplating systematic canvass of sentiment to find out just how much the Presidents pop ularity has suffered recently. Sel- dom has there been a political head quarters which seemed more sure Of itself in general; yet it is be- ginning to wonder, and is taking steps to find out what all the shoot ing amounts to.
 Both party headquarters would like to know, too, how much there is behind the claims of the various left-wing leaders. There is sur prising divergence among the guess es of seasoned politicians as to the actual numerical strength of the followings of Senator Long, Father Coughlin, pr. Townsend, and the others.
 Long BACKS bOran
 The Republican uncertainties ap- pear to increase, rather than de- crease as the party leaders seek a basis for unity while mid-western- CTS are debating with a surprising show of irritation whether to hold their much-advertised get-together at Kansas City, or Des Moines, or somewhere else, or whether to hold it at all, Senator Borah comes for- ward with proposal to nullify whatever they may do.
 MT. Borah is quoted as saying the

 This drew expressions of some surprise at the White House where it was indicated, Jones said. "it appears entirely possible Congress may override the veto of the bonus measure"
 Republican leaders predicted flat ly the Vinson bill will be sent by Congress to the President if the Patman bill is killed. They forecast it will be passed over any veto.
 Senator Huey P. Long said virtu ally all Democratic leaders want to ''go ahead and pay the bonus by the Patman bill"
 Senator Long also said that Jones had some independence about him and evidently does not want to be party to leading the Democrats to slaughter"
