killing the Railroad Goose

Because railroads cannot adjusI
their rate structure quickly to fiuc'
tuations In cost Of operation, ths
steady rise In railroad taxes is an
economic problem which demands
serious attention, says the CONNER
cial and Financial Chronicle.
So far as the Federal government
is concerned, railroads are taxed ON
the same basis as industry in gen.
eral. Abuses have appeared In state
and local taxation. The railroads
represent an investment OF see, ,000,-
600, 900, and stheir lines traverse
practically every county in the Uni
ted States. Local officials have gone
to tremendous ends to exploit this
great industry for revenue purposes.
Railway taxes in 1886 totaled
$319, 100000, of which 81 per cent
was collected by state and local gov
ernmepts. This amounted to 2S,5
per cent of the lines net operating
revenue. In other words, more than
one-fourth of the property, activities
and traffic of the railways was devot-
ed to producing net operating reye-
nue. sufficient to pay the tax bill. In
the case Of stringently regulated
Industry, whose rates are fixed by
public bodies. this is an excessive
and dangerous proportion.
No one can object to adequate tax
alton of the railroads. And a case
might even be made for excessive
taxation-if at the same time we
made 1t possible for the lines to in
crease their revenues to meet the
cost. But we cannot continue to
bleed the lines of every possible
dollar of revenue and expect to en-
Joy the lowest cost transportation.
Such policy must in the long run
lead to railroad bankruptcy. If that
should happen, all units of govern
ment would be deprived of one of
their main sources of support. You
can't get blood from a turnip-or
money from an industry taxed be-
gond its earning capacity. The pres |
snt situation leads to one of two |

Business as usual" describes ths
commercial picture today. During
recent weeks, there have. been nc
marked changes either upward oi
downward. The high level attained
during the spring has been main
tanned this summer, when seasonal
adjustments are made. .-
To quote Business Week, Business
sentiment is obviously improved now
The Presidents court bill has taken
trimming. Though all is not exact
ly quiet ON the labor front, it is def
nitely better than ii was" Another
encouraging factor, in the view of
business men. is Congress. apparent
reluctance to Okay major expert
mental" legislation. 1t now seems
probable that adjournment will take
place within two weeks.
AS this column has remarked be-
fore, the noticeable upturn in op-
timism on the part of business men
is one of the most important of re-
cent developments. Last year, for
instance, and early this year, many
leaders were frankly skeptical of the
movement-they regarded ii as
boom bubble that might burst at any
time. They still don't feel that the
underlying structure is as solid as it
might be-but they are definitely
more hopeful that needed corrections
will take place.
Here are some business briefs of
interest;
Agriculture-Big crops are being
harvested and prices are good. There
is an acute shortage of farm labor
in many states, even though wages
have risen materially. On July 1st,
the farm labor supply-demand ratio
was the lowest since late 1928
Automobiles June passen-
ger car registrations totaled 1896, 600,
as against 1868, 900 in June 1896, and
2S0, 900 in June 1885. Thus sales are
tending to slacken. This is to be
expected, in the light of the remark
able demand for new cars the public
has shown for two years. II is pos
sible that temporary "saturation
point" is: being reached. However,
sales of higher priced cars are go
ng up.
Railroads-Will hene6t from in
creased farm production this fall. |
The industry is now carrying on
wage negotiations with its unions
md it is expected that compromises
will be reached, with wages some
What increased. Management-union
elations have reached high stand

FREE MARKETS

What IL a free market? From the
standpoint of capital. 1t is q market
In which private citizens can buy
and sell securities without restric-
tive regulations which arrest or dis
courage private activity. Paternal-
istic protection can be carried TO a
point where free play. OF individual
judgment is wiped out and stagna-
tion results. ~ a,s.-
1t Is a popular political practice to
crusade against the capitalistic sys-
tenn and security exchanges which
are the market places for private
capital as 1t flows inso productive
employment in every line of indus
try. Unless we are ready TO adopt
the socialistic theory Of government
and wipe out all private capital, and
everybody work for the state, we
must have security exchanges 4ree
markets) and continuous oppor-
tunity for the individual to invest his
own savings as he sees fit. Other
wise, we will freeze up the sources
of employment through their inabil-
ity to secure new money for inn
provements, extensions and repairs
necessary to keep abreast of the
times and maintain payrolls.
Z Even the politician who would
hamstring capital, depends upon the
Industries which capital maintains,
for the tax money which pays the
politicians salary as we'll as all of
his political bills. II he taxes or
regulates capital to the point of
or extinction, where will
taxes and employment come from?
At present, investments and the nor
NAL expansion of industry in this
nation are tagging, due largely to
fear of legislative rePrisals and reg
llatory restrictions, which seem TO
be carried beyond the limits of rea-
son.
Protection of the individual
against graft or crookedness is one
hing; but protection" which de-
'troys private opportunities. dis
,ourages business and dries up
streams of capital ON which industry
depends for its existence, makes a
out of protection.
