All calamities teach us lessons

out ct the financial anguish and

The Common Carriers Ask for
Relief—President Wilson Di
rects Attention of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad
eeutives, oeaded bv Mr. Frank
Trumbull, representing thirty
fi e of the leading railroad sys¬
tems of tlie nation, recently pre¬
sented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing
the difficulties now confronting
the railroads of tlie country and
asking for the co-operation of the
governmentai authorities and the
public in supporting railroad
credits and recognizing an cmer
gency which reqff«ss that the
railroads be given additional rev
etiues.
'j’he memorandum „ lwI11VfiailuulI1 recites 1CC „. C3 that ni,n
the European war has resulted in
general depression of business
the American continent and in
the dislocation of credits at home
and abroad. With revenues de¬
creasing and interest rates in¬
creasing the transportation sys¬
tems of the country face a most
serious crisis and the memoran¬
dum is a strong presentation of
the candle burning at both ends
and the perils that must ultimate¬
ly attend such a conflagration
when tlie flames meet is apparent
io all. In their general discussion
the rail: •ad representatives say
. “By of legtsia
In P art: reason
*»on and regulation by the Fed
e,a! Government and the forty
<‘ ; Sht states acting independently
e acli other, as well as through
the action of a strong public opin¬
ion, railroad expenses in recent
years have vastly increased. No
criticism is here made of the gen¬
eral theory of governmental regu¬
lation, but on the other hand, no
ingenuity can relieve the carriers
of expenses created thereby.”
President Wilson, in transmit¬
ting the memorandum of the rail¬
road presidents to the public,
characterizes it as “a lucid state¬
ment of plain truth." The Pres¬
ident recognizing the emergency^
as extraordinary, continuing, said
in part:
“You ask me to call the atten¬
tion of the country to the imper¬
ative need that railway credits
be sustained and the railroads
helped in every possible way,
whether by private co-operative
effort ur by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies
an ^ ^ am to so because T
think the need very real."
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and
the President is to be congratu
,ated for °P en,n ? .T‘‘ e Rate to a
tiotxr new u.'nrln world of At effort 1 in •-» which n - Ui .- l ,
everyone may co-operate.
There are many important
problems in our complex civili¬
zation that will yield to co-opera¬
tion which will not lend them¬
selves to arbitrary rulings of
commissions and financing rail¬
roads is One of them. The man
with the money is a factor that
cannot be eliminated from any
business transaction, and the
public is an interested party that
should always be consulted and
happily the President has invited
all to participate in the solution
of our railroad problems.

bring out, as r.o history can, many enlightening -nd
