On Financing Railroads
The farmers of
.■r*. this nation need
to become better
acquainted with
the railroad men
iHHi and their prob¬
lems. It is only
those who know
that can give us
information and
the farmers ©f
America t should
listen attentively
iillin to what the men
who manage rail¬
road property
have to say. Mr. Kruttschnitt, exec¬
utive head of the Southern Pacific,
has written an article dealing with
the financing of railroads. He said
In part:
"The financing of a railroad Is a
function which the people, through
their servants, the Railroad Commis¬
sioners and the Legislators, have
never attempted, but it is a most im¬
portant problem, especially to sec¬
tions of a State where new railroads
are needed. The placing of securities
has been left entirely- with the pro-
moter and owner of railroads.
“The Immediate determination of
what earnings the railroad shall be
permitted to receive and what bur¬
dens it shall have put on it is in the
hands of other servants of the public

—the Legislators and the Commis¬
sioners.
"Managing a railroad is quite differ¬
ent from managing a government
where the money is raised by taxa¬
tion. When the expenditures, for
good reasons or otherwise, Increase,
taxes can be equally increased. The
railroads, while servants of the pub¬
lic, cannot raise money with such
ease and facility. The railroads must
keep the,r expenditures within their
incomes because while they have
some control over their expenditures
they have almost no control over their
incomes, their rates beipg fixed by
public auihoritltJ.
"Thera is not a railway manager in
the country today who Is not fearful
that under the press of increasing de¬
mands the transportation systems of
the country will, in a few years, break
down, unless the railroads are allowed
to earn larger funds wherewith to
build it up. There are vast sections
of the country, especially in the West,
where more railroads are needed and
they cannot be built unless the rail¬
ways raise new capital.
“People invest money in order to
make money, and they are skeptical
as to whether they can make money
by investing in concerns that are dealt
with stringently and unfairly. Rail¬
road securities must be made more
attractive to invite investments, and
in order that they may ba made more
attractive, the roads must be allowed
earnings that will enable them to
meet the increased capital charges.’’
