Garrett, new president of the Heaboard Air Line system, who arrived In Atlanta Monday morning with a number of operating officials on a regular trip of Inspec tion. "Excessive taxation, tines, penal ties, adverse legislation, lowering nf tariffs, have so cut down the earnings of the railroads that the Interest on the bonds cannot be paid." The statement came In answer to a question concerning a panic among the railroad stocks because iof treatment and legislation'throughout the coun try. President Garrett, democratic In every respect, had Just stepped from his private car at the union depot. He and his officials had started for the Terminal Btatlon and Invited tha reporters to walk snd talk with him. "If we don’t earn any money." he. he continued, "how can wa borrow any and If we can't borrow money how can we make any Improvements, ex tend our lines, better our equipment or secure better facilities?
