ties of additional equipment into ser
vice. They are spending money for
this purpose that they have not yet
earned, because of their strong reali-
zati N of their obligation to the in
dustries, people of the nation. But pro-
gress of this kind cannot be carried
on indefinitely under an unsound
transportation policy. 1t is high time
for business men in all fields to think
about their own stake in a prosperous
railroad industry.

BUSINESS CAN HELP ITSELF

Business men have a vital. interest
in rehabilitation of the railroads, for
wholly selfish reasons, if no other. The
railroad industry is mainstay of the
durable goods industries which are
the backbone of a stable economy in
this country.
According to the Association of
American Railroads: I'm the eight
year period from 1923 through 1880
for instance, the total purchases by
the railroads of materials used in inn
proving plant and equipment amount
ed to six and three quarter billion
dollars. This is apart from $11,000,-
100000 paid out in the same period for
dependable supplies, including every
thing from coal to paper clips" But
from the years 1881 through 1888,
plant and equipment spending totaled
only $4,000, O00, 900 and purchases of
dependable supplies but $4,000, 000,-
000. In other words, total railroad ex-
penditures in the latter periods were
nearly S11, 0O0,00O,000 less than during
the former period.
The loss of this $11,000,0 100000

ployment and reduced payrolls from
