History shows that in this country, a period
of unusual prosperity is invariably followed
by a period of depression, which is just as

is commonly called “GOOD TIMES. Right

THE GAINESVILLE
MIDLAND RAILWAY
The Gainesville Ity.
The Jackson Herald of September 15.
1921, contained an editorial by Hon.
John N. Holder, its editor, on the
Gainesville Midland Railway, which
has been quoted by the other papers
on the line of the jaiiway. and. no doubt
has been read with interest. Mr. Hol
der, as lie always do >. is looking
ahead in the interest of our section,
noting conditions, and realizes that the
road cannot go on indefinitely losing
money. This editorial is a timely
naming, and should he heeded if the
people an interested in the operation
of the railroad in this section.
Mr. Holder is correct in his state
ment that the road is not making oper
ating expenses, and it is simply for tin
want of sufficient traffic. ,\o interest
has been paid in years. Every effort
is now being made to pay operating
'expenses so as to keep the road going.
If tin* people did not have this road al
ready, they Would, no doubt, be willing
to contribute their land and money to
get it. Mince they already have it,
why not try to patronize it in such way
as will make it self-supporting, and be
in position to furnish necessary trans
portation to take care of the patrons
along its line? They certainly do
want the road. The trouble is they
Mve it, and do not feel that there is
any possibility of its being taken from
them. Most people think a railroad is
a fixture. There is no way, however,
to keep it in operation unless it can
earn sufficient money, to keep it In op
eration unless it can earn sufficient mon
ey to pay expenses. Several Georgia
Hues have already been dismantled
and scrapped, and there are others now
in the process.
If interested in maintaining the road
every effort should lie made, all things
being equal, to see that it receives a
haul on all traffic controlled in its im
diate section, having only a small ter
ritory from which to draw business.
We have all our employees interested
in the solicitation of traffic, and a
great many of them are doing so as
they go about their regulor duties. We
have a representative who devotes his
entire time to calling on patrons of the
road, and in my daily rounds, I am al
ways on the alert ii< an effort to assist
in securing every pound of traffic pos
sible, and in adjusting all irregulari
ties, as i find them. Notwithstanding
all this, some of our people are more or
less indifferent. They forget to route
their freight as they purchase it. and
some feel tlmt it must necessarily he
divided between our competitors, there
fore, the small amount of traffic dur
ing this depression is not sufficient to
take care of the road.
There is the automobile which lias
forced us to discontinue the double
daily passenger service, and instead op
erate a single daily passenger service,
with a reduction in our passenger earn
ings .of at least fifty per cent. The
auto trucks are also getting very busy,
hauling some commodities which are
easily handled, and it is claimed they
make some money competing with the
railroad, which 1 am sure they will
find is not true when tried out fully.
The high cost of a truck (the life of
winch is about two years) and the
heavy repairs, etc., all taken into con
sideration. will not only show no money
is being made, but that they are being
operated at a loss, and they are going
a long way toward assisting the discon
tinuance of railroad operation.
All automobiles or trucks used for
the trunsiHirtation of passengers or
freight, should be required to pay for
the privilege and maintain a schedule.
It is very unfair that they should he
turned loose to compete with railroads
without any regulations, and on roads
.that the railroads are required to help
keep up.
It is known that the (Jainesville Mid
land Kailway is now in the hands of
Receivers, and everything is being done
that can be done to make it go. I re
peat, its.expenses have not been made,
although they have been cut to the very
bottom. Every employe Is co-operating
fully, and every effort is being made to
overcome the present situation. There
is only one remedy, and that a very
reasonable one, which is that the bus
iness men along the line should see to
it that the road is patronised, and has
ithe full co-operation of all its patrons.
There is ample traffic in the territory
to make the road a paying proposition,
if the people will only become interest
ed and patronize it is they should.
Another point is necessary: steps
should be taken to tax automobiles and
auto trucks handling passengers and
freight, and see that they are put un
der such regulations as should be in
handling passenger and freight traffic
in competition with the railroads.
If proper interest along these lines
is taken, the road will soon he solf
aupiiorting, and will Ih> in position to
secure an up-to-date transportation sys
tem.

SWEEPING PRICE
REDUCTION
International 8-16 Tractor
S9OO
Lowest Ever Quoted
THIS is the lowest price ever quoted oil this sturdy two-plow tractor and it includes all
necessary equipment—platform, fenders, governors, belt, pulley—which cost extra on
many tractors.
The International 8-16 is unquestionably the best buy in the two-plow tractor class.
As the price has been made regardless of manufacturing costs, the Harvester Company
does not agree to maintain it.
Don’t goad the sweltering fly-pestered horses through hot weather plowing and
seeding when 8-16 will do the work better at a big saving of time and labor. It will
also do your fall and winter belt work.
The Titan 10-’-’O has also been cut to 1H)0 and the International 15-30 to $1,750.
These prices are lower than ever before, and certainly justify the immediate purchase
of a tractor.
All prices f. o. b. Chicago. We can arrange suitable terms. Call and see us at your
first opportunity.
