BABSON DISCUSSES RAILROAD SECURITIES

that entirely different situations
exist with different railroads.
For instance, the New York Gen.
trail owns much valuable real estate
in the vicinity of the Grand Cen
tral Station, New York City. Ger
tain short-line railroads are almost
real estate companies rather than
railroad companies. The Southern
Pacific and Great Northern have
valuable oil and ore leases which
secure their bonds. Here again, your
broker will tell you what railroads
have valuable real estate and what
railroads have not. You cannot
generalize.
Competition From Trucks, Buses,
Airplanes, Automobiles And
Pipelines
Such competition is the basic
cause of the railroads difficulties
today. The various restrictions put
upon rates and practices by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
were instituted when the railroads
had real monopoly. Today, the
railroads have no such monopoly.
These rates and other restrictions
should be eliminated. In fact, / be-
lieve that the business>of the coun-
try, and of the railroads, together
with their employees and passen-
gers, would be better off If the
Interstate Commerce Commission
were entirely eliminated.
The competition is not only IN
rates but also in conveniences. For
instance, trucks take the goods
from the factory door and deliver
them to the consumer. Otherwise,
trucks would operate from the fac
tory to the railroad and then again
from the railroad to the consumer.
There are so million automobiles
competing with the railroads! The
higher the railroads raise their
rates, the fewer passengers and the
less freight they carry. Pipelines
for oil and gas are here to stay; but
the carrying of coal and oil by rail-
roads will decrease.
Labor Union Stfangulati0n
One of the greatest handicaps OF
the railroads is the arbitrary and
useless rules of the labor unions.
These rules were made years ago

before the use of diesel engines,
automatic signaling, and the various
electrical appliances which now
provide safety. The worst of all
is the so-called "feather-bedding
whereby the railroads must pay for
time which is not used in any pro-
ductive manner while they are
largely forbidden to introduce
labor-saving equipment.
During the past few months, /
have interviewed several railroad
presidents. When | asked them the
main reason for the difficulties of
the railroads, they replied-"be-
cause of the foolish, useless and
Expensive rules of the labor unions" :"
Unfortunately, it takes much cour-
age for Congressman or Senators to
try to curb union labor.
What About The Future Outlook? (?
A large amount of railroad track
should never have been laid. Ger
tain railroads were built, not to
carry passengers and freight, but
rather to sell stocks and bonds.
Such railroad trackage should now
be discarded and thousands of rail-
road stations should be closed. /
feel that conditions may go from
bad to worse anti, our whole rail-
road system collapses and has to be
reorganized. Such reorganization
could eliminate the useless dupli-
cation.
On the other hand, so many rail-
road bond issues are secured by SO
many different kinds of assets that
each railroad would have to be
reorganized Independently. This
be sure to take a long time; but
most first-mortgage and certain
other railroad bonds should come
out in the end worth par and in
terest. Therefore, my conclusion to
holders of railroad securities is
this: 1t may be better for you to
sell your railroad securities now
and reinvest the money in some
new and growing industry. Other
wise. reinvest in these railroad
bonds later, when they will sell
for half their present price. l now
see little hope for most railroad
stocks.

Farm Feature
BY w. Il. McAilister
Extension Farm
Management Specialist

Modern Farming Requires Careful
Planning
Modern farming is big business,
requiring careful and systematic
planning in the use of all resources.
AS a farm family, you are the
board of directors" of the business.
The management decisions you
make determine greatly success of
that business Therefore, it is most
important that decisions are based
on good management principles and
thoroughly examined before being
applied.
Each member of the family is re-
sponsible for helping to make liv-
ing on the farm pleasant and re-
Warding. This means the farm must
1e operated to make a satisfactory
income. The home must be man
aged so income provides completely
rs possible for the needs and wants
If the family
Designed To Aid
Many farm families can do bet
er job of farming and homemak-
ing by using Extension Service
planning methods designed to as
,ist those families who want to i'm
prove their life on the farm. In
1rief. farm and home planning is
process of helping you find ways
o make farming more rewarding
and life more pleasant.
Actual planning and decision
making must be done by the farm
family. We in the Extension Service
are willing to assist by supplying
Information on prices, costs, pro-
duction practices, farm records and
business analysis, and farm and
family budgeting. including person
al counseling on the farm if re-
quested.
Planning Principles
You can, without further investi-

good farm plan to improve the busi-
ness. Here they are:
1. Il cropping program that will
Weld maximum income over a
9eriod of years while maintaining
or improving soil fertility.
2. A livestock program to utilize

to do necessary work in timely
and economical manner.

make possible a satisfactory family
income.

Babson Park, Mass, Feb. s. The
recent suicide of Mr.. Robert Young,
Chairman of the New York Central
Railroad, brings to my attention the
problems of the whole railroad in
dustry., AS a matter of fact, Presi-
dent Albert, of the New Haven Rail-
road recently asked the Public Ser
vice Commission of Massachusetts
to close over so railroad stations
and discontinue a large number of
trains, including crack trains, be-
tween Boston and New York.
Reasons For Railroad Curtailment
One of the main reasons given
for the railroads troubles is that
commuter passenger business does
not pay, and is provided only at a
large loss to the railroads. This is
the business of bringing great num-
bers of people into a big city every
morning, and out again at night, all
within short periods of time. In
order to provide such service, many
stations and much new equipment
must be kept in prime condition all
day for this very short use.
Your local stockbroker will tell
you whether this situation applies
to the railroad whose stocks you
now hold. With the Union Pacific
and Santa Fe, the proportion OF
commuter business is very small in
relation to the total passenger busi-
ness. On the other hand, with the
Pennsylvania or New York Cen
tral, the proportion of commuter
business is very large. Every rail-
road must be judged independently.
We should not generalize about
them.
Real Estate Taxes
Another reason for President Al
pert's appeal for aid is the taxation
levied on railroad real estate. Such
taxes enable the cities to raise
funds to build thrnpikes, airplane
terminals, etc., which help the COM
petitors of the railroads. The rail-
roads beg relief from these taxes; !;
otherwise, they threaten to llqul-
date. Liquidation would, in most
cases. give bondholders full pay
ment for their securities but would
leave very little for the stockhold-
ers. Here again, it will be found

Happy Birthday today, one year old
little Angela Minner!
Dear Friends:
My Dad would call him a nut.
If his rampage had continued many
of us could have been catalogued in
a like description. When Hayes is
away the bottom seems to fall out
of our world. First of all let me tell
you about Hayes before l give. you
resume of this NUT.
As you know, nine days ago
Hayes was sent to- Westover AFB
by his wing here at Forbes. Each
year at this time there is a Strate-
gic Air Command-wide competition
among the commanders of various
bases. Last year before the SAC
wide competition, Hayes was asked
to instruct General Sullivan, 21st
Air Division commander here at
Forbes. This was quite an honor
since General Sullivan could have
selected any man from either wing
under his command. Hayes lost
weight from the ordeal and neither
he nor General Sullivan could have
been as pleased as / was when the
mess was over. General Sullivan
tied FOR top score.
Our wings here at Forbes are
part of the 8th Air Force and Major
General w. C. Sweeney is in COM
mand, his headQuarter are at West
over, Massachusetts. His deputy di-
rector is General Fisher and it
was General Fisher who asked for
Grew from Forbes to come to in
sSruct him to be in readiness for
the commanders competition. This
would not only benefit him, but is
continued practice for the crew
Hayes was selected as the naviga-
tor to instruct. The competition is
won or lost by the navigator since
the test is on bombing accuracy
photography and navigation. 1t was
quite an honor for Hayes and he
was anxious to meet General Fisher
and to work with him. General
/ Sweeney was called away from
Westover on business which neces'
STATED General Fisher taking the
helm, eliminating all future prac'
tice for the competition.
From Westover Hayes was able
to get a few days off to go dowr
to Delaware to be with our fam
lilies. Dad Dickerson is in the Mil
ford Memorial Hospital and Hayes
was especially pleased to have the
time with him.
During Hayes absence our ra
dio, television and newspapers were
full of pictures of nineteen year ole
Charles Starkweather and his four
teen year old female friend, Carl
Fugate, from Bennett, Nebraska
Monday was the first day / had
heard about these two misguided
teenagers. The news said they were
suspected of killing six people ir
Nebraska. No one could surmise
reason for such ruthlessness, but
they believe Starkweather was for.

more and for this reason he killed
her mother, step-father and bah.
| sister. From her home they wen
to a nearby bachelor farmers hom
and killed this elderly man to OBJ
tain what money he Rad. From
there they found young coupl
and these two were shot III tn

Starkweather needed, so they wer

Answer Questions


When working out farm and
home plan, there are several ques-
tions to answer. Start by asking
what the family's goals are, and
what is expected from farming.
Then consider what you have to
work with, and what is needed to
make the business more profitable
and the home more enjoyable. Next
figure where improvements can best
be made.
Now consider sources of income
and major expenses last year and
what enterprises yielded the best
return. Put this into plan for
changes to be made this year. and
longtime changes.
Determine how these changes will
alter the present livestock and CROP
ping program, and what effect the
changes will have. on net farm in

IN THE INTEREST OF ALL

Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks
has said: American peace, prosperity and
progress result from a system of free, pri-
vate enterprise and a system of govern
ment which, properly administered, encour-
ages such enterprise. :.
when we encourage the American pri-
vate. business system, we act in the interest
of every single mortal in this entire nation
Prosperous business makes jobs and in
creases the prosperity of everyone-the rec
ord of the last several years certainly proves
this
That admirable statement has been quot
ed by the Public Relations Division of the
Railway Express Agency. And there is ev-
cry reason why this should have been done.
For Railway Express is private enterprise
which-along with over private carriers of
goods-fndS itself confronted with tax-free,
tax-subsidized government competition
That competition, of course, comes from
parcel post-the Fourth Glass Mail category
of the Postoffice Department. When parcel
post was established, thirty-odd years ago,
it was specified that it should not unduly or
unnecessarily compete with private carriers.
That principle has been violated during its
entire history 1t was also specified that it
should pay its own way7that the rates
charged should be sufficient to cover all the
costs of providing the service. That prin-
ciple too has been violated. Parcel post rates,
at most times, have not covered all the costs,
and the result has been taxpayer-bOrne de-
ficits.
1t seems likely that all postal charges
will be reviewed during this session of Con-
gress, and will be revised upward. That GER
tainly should be the case with parcel post.

DON'T DELAY SALK sHOTst

Salks vaccine is now StOckpiled on drug
gists' shelves. But it won't be there much
longerl When the Mothers March on Polio
takes place at the end of the month"; we can
anticipate stampede for vaccine as happen
ed last January. Mothers March volunteers
will hand-deliver vital vaccine message to
all households explaining the need for every
family members to get vaccinated against
paralytic polio. Thirty million cards will be
distributed across the nation.
Every man, woman and child among us
should be heartened to learn that cases of
this paralytic disease dropped sharply in
1857. Less than 5000 new cases were re-
ported. This is a record low for the nation
and welcome relief from recent epidemic
years.
The decline is credited largely to wide
use of Salk vaccine, created and developed
during the past 20 years of continuous re-
search supported by our personal contribu-
tions to the March of Dimes. Successful
mass vaccination programs for children and
adults were a major health activity in many
communities last year. AS result of this
effort ga million people received one or more
Saik shots.
What about the other millions As
million Americans under age 40 who have
not yet received any vaccine protection
against paralytic polio?
Unless they take action now, they will be
just as susceptible to paralytic polio as all
of us were before the March of Dimes gave
the world a safe and effective vaccine against
polio. The time taken now to make an ap-
pointment with your doctor for Salk shots
can prevent years, of physical disability and
needless suffering.
Don't delay, Call your doctor today
