WHAT IS FUTURE
OF RAILROADS?
Are They Heading Toward
Prosperity or Toward
Bankruptcy?
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK. June 10 Are American
railroads heading toward prosperity or
toward bankruptcy? The question con
cerns! not only banking people, not only
railroad managers and employees, not
only investors in railroad securities. It
concerns YOU, no matter what your sta
tion in life. You can not afford to remain
indifferent to it, for were widespread
trouble to overtake our railroads, the peo
ple as a whole would suffer, and suffer
more seriously than the thoughtless can
imagine True, the public in bygone
years had too often cause for wanting to
punish railroad owners who acted in the
most autocratic, sometimes insolent man
ner, defiant of both reason and restraint.
But has not retribution enough befallen
the railroads? Is it not time that a halt
was called in imposing restrictions upon
the running of our railways? Can the
hands of railway managers be tied still
tighter WITH IMPUNITY TO THE PUB
LIC?
The man in the street can not be ex
pected to spend hours and effort in an
alyzing intricate railway accounts—he has
problems enough of his own nearer home.
He has a deep-rooted feeling that the
railroads are very well able to look after
themselves and a little more. He has
not forgotten the past. In a vague sort
of way he realizes that the railroads have
been tamed a bit. the government
has bridled them, that when they planned
to exact higher freight rates a Federal
commission had the power to say “No,”
and that in other ways the railroads can
not now do as they please. But that he
should become solicitous concerning their
welfare -well, he guesses that is none of
bis business.
* » •
Now is it the business of you or me
to worry over the knocks the railroads are
receiving? Should we pay any heed to
the now chronic complaints of fresh re
strictions and Impositions that, accord
ing to the railway people, threaten the
financial and even the physical stability of
the railroads? I am inclined to think we
should.
• • •
Every one can readily understand that
the country could not prosper were rail
road after railroad to go under. An im
poverished. decrepit, languishing railway
is a handicap to every industry and inter
est depend'ng upon it for service. Not
only so, but when a road begins to go
down hill its potver to get capital van
ishes, and the funds necessary to main
tain the property’can not be obtained—
and therefore can not be spent. Stock
holders in course of time suffer the loss
of their income, and, unless Something
helpful be done, bondholders also have
to starve, events which hit the pockets
of thousands- Indeed, if bankruptcies be
came general millions of investors would
be involved. Is there any danger of this
happening” Railroad authorities of sound
judgment say there is.
Without holding any brief for the rail
roads, it can be said in all truth that the
outlook is not inspiring. A railroad man
ager is not today a manager in the old
or full sense of the term. He has now a
superior—the interstate commerce com
mission. This body has a maximum of
power, hut a minimum responsibility, it
can—and does —order railway income to
be reduced without having to trouble it
self one iota as to how and deficiency in
revenue may be made up. It regulates
receipts—that is. it is constantly lower
ing them; but when the railroads wanted
tins same body to decide whether the en
gineers' wages should be increased the
request was refused. Thus we have reg
ulation without responsibility, and thus
have the railroads to submit to reduc
tions in income, and at the same time
contend with demands for larger expen
ditures.
So numerous are the orders issued by
the interstate commerce commission low
ering freight rates that the newspapers no
longer can spare space to print them all.
Not a few roads of the first importance
are paying out in dividends far more
than they are earning. Illinois Central
is not earning 50 cents for every SI.OO it
is giving away in dividends. St. Paul is
in exactly the same position. More roads
than the layman can realize have been
systematically "scrimping." Almost ev
ery railroad president will admit that
maintenance and equipment have not
dealt with generously during the last two
or three years. Worse still, there has re
cently appeared a tendency to trans
form short-term equipment obligations
into permanent securities, an unpardon
able financial sin, for plainly a long-term
bond based on equipment that will go
out of existence in a comparatively short
period is not worth calling a "security"
its security has been cast into the junk
heap, other makeshifts have been re
sorted to in an effort to keep up apeur
ances and div dends.
Would the interstate commerce com
mission resent a suggestion that it in
terest itself in tite "other side' of the
railroad situation, if nothing be discov
ered to justify alarm, if nothing be found
calculated to check 'he daily reductions in
freight rales, then the railroads, troubled
investors and some other intelligent mem
bers of the public will feel infinitely re
lieved.
Regulation is all right; strangulation
would be all wrong

Spot Houses Best Buyers of the
Staple—Liverpool Cables
Show Strength.
NEW YORK. June 10. With Liver
pool cables better than due. and a pros
pect of unsettled weather conditions over
the Gulf belt, the cotton market opened
firm and steady, first prices 5 to 9 points
higher. The weather indications, how
ever, were not well enough defined to
create any exceptional buying move- ;
ments. After the < all. trading eased off [
and the market became dull.
Futures and spot in Liverpool were
st rung.
At noon the market was still making
headway for new high levels. This rapid
advance was caused entirely by unfavora
ble weather conditions over the entire cot
ton belt. The ring crowd was good sell
ers to the spot houses, which were th?
principal buyers. Another factor was the
heavy demand in Liverpool for spots.
Reports of possible showers along the
coast caused uneasiness among the shorts.
The best buyers, however, looked to be
for long accounts, coming from some of
the leading hull forces, and it is believed
that bulls will continue to buy. forcing i
shorts to cover.
At the close the market was very
steady, with prices 12 to 29 p« inis higher
than the final quotations of Saturday’s
close.
