J V OUR PUBLIC FORUM III—Julius Kruttschnitt * 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 Hull lying Northwest and front ing on /Fain street or Rail Road street, twenty six feet front extend ing back 90 feet, about 100 feet f.om Southern Raihvav, store room formerly owned by Bowers and Company. There located on this lot a nice store room. Said ptopertv levied on and being sold to satisfy a tax fl fa usued by E A Phillips, Ex Tax Collector of Franklin county and against Bevvfey and T. J. Hull for state and county tax for the year !j)14 Written notice given tenant jn possession. This June J no, W, Wa«F\p^* Official Organ of Franklin. County. —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.’’ Notice.
