Finley, at Asheville, Dis cusses Mutual luterests oi Press and llail'ivays aud Their Aid in Comniujoity 3>eveiopiiieiit. Ashevilie, N. C. -At the July 24, jmeetiiig of th* North Carolina Press jLssociatiou In Asheville k>-day Pre»- jWep.t Finiey, of the Southern Railway ^Company, (delivered an address on “The Relations of the Press and th® Railways and the Value of their Co- oparatioQ in Community DeveJoj)* Mr. Finiey pointed out the natural basia for co-operation between the press and thd railways growing out of the substantial identity of their in terests in community development and prosperity, bringing to the newspapers additional subscribers and advertising and to the railw.aya increased traffic And making it logical that the press and the railways, iu their respective fieads, should work in close co-opera- ( tion for community development. He recogaized that, while the newspapers Riid the railways were thus natural allies in community development, it did not follow that there should not be fair criticism of the railways, and said; •'Fair and Just criticiam is a proper function of & free press, but criti cism of the ageacie# which provide j the transportation facilities of the I eommunSty should take a^jcount of i tlie economic conditions under 1 which those agencies must work and should aim, in respect to a I factor so essential to community I development, to be helpful and edu- ; eational rather than being along ; lines tending to create unreason- i Ing prejudice. I “Personally, I am a great reader of the newspapers. I appreciate at ; its full value the work they are do ing and recognize in their editors, ; in many cases, the spokesmen of ; their communities. I do not ignore what is said In the newspapers rel ative to our policies. 1 always take note of newspaper criticism on mat ters that it may be within our power to remedy and ail such matters are given attention so far as it may be practicable to do so.” Referring to the fact that a railway can not win the support of public opinion tlirough the exercise of politi influence or in any other way ex cept by the intelligent and effective performance of its functions as a car rier and by its responsiveness to fair criticism, Mr. Finley pointed out that its position can only be secure when the economic conditions surrounding its operation and the importanc8 of its functions to development and to the enlargement of opportunity are appre ciated by the people of the com munity, and that this appreciation was dependent upon enlightened citizen ship, He spoke of the moral respons ibility of the press in this connection and of its power, by presenting fully and fairly, the economic situaiion of the railways and the interest of all of the people in their prosperity and effi ciency, to bring about that mutual good understanding which le indis pensable to effective co-operatio&. As, In an economic sense, produc tion is not complete until goods are put In a position for coneumptloii, Mr. Pinley spoke of the railways as crcM^ tors of value and as an indispe>nsable part of the producing equipment of ev«ry community and af every farmer and manufacturer iu it and said that unjust criticism directed against farmers and manufacturers would be 3ust as logical as against the railway*. Sj-eaking of the right of the rail ways, just as of any other business enterprise to present their cause, fully and freely, before courts, administra- ^v« tribunals, legislatures, and the ^ar of public opinion, Mr. Finley said; “Enlightened public opinion in i the United States will not justify the ' relegation of the railways to the I status of the Jew in iflngland in the Middle Ages, when, as we read In Madoxe’s History of the Exchequer: 'Josce Quartebuch gave forty marks that his son Hekelin might be dealt •with according to justice’; aud ‘Jur^ net of Norwich gave 1,800 marks that he jnight reside in England with the Kinj;'s good will.’ "The railways are asking far no special favors. They ask only that thfrir importance in the development of the o-"’,intry and th»t the inter est '^hich fiach individual has IL. tlieir einciency shall be frankiy xeccgiw'iThey ask that diff'-r- ence-s .vh!rh may arisse between thtm and i'.idividuals or communities shall he K.ubjects of full and fr se conference to be adji'sted in accoid- Bnce v.iih soufkI business principl’ 7, or that, failing such •■^djustmei.t, they shall be adjudic'aled by t:;e tribunals constituted bv lav.-.” Having outliaed the wh;:'.h lit belisYQd to be ne .‘i:. -: j. .• to tiie MSvajrs for Mr. Plalftf iMtcauM Intelligence gortiktiika w.Mre 2tt^aji«i|ijM*'l tfeTedopmefit, it botni; the tl&e /preas dlsecmlaate the first wad thei; taSlwayR to ^roride the |iecH»i|i|. ja aid tn the de>vel69me1at'af ' the rlt»ry traveraed by i« Hnes, exj^rea* Inf the opinion that It «ould be aald, without ‘boaxtfttriDeas, to be ilaere eou- preheselTe thaa similar work heing done by any «th« railway organiza tion in the United iStates. He ea^d; “In our work for community d» Telosment it it our policy to co-opefr ate closely with individuals and or ganisations. That it may haye been xaore effective in some localities than in others has «een due i&rgely to local conditione, iucludlng the de gree of co-operation that we hare received. We believe that it ha« been particularly effective in West* em North Carolina where we have participated in the organization and activities of the Greater Western North Carolina Association, the single purpose of which is the de- Tslopment of this part of the State. We should be very glad to partici pate in other territorial movements or in a State-wdde movement of the game kind, if carried on directly un der the auspices of the State or through a responsible organization eimilar to that in this region. ‘‘In ail of the development work that we are doing, we look upon the newspapers of the Southeast as our helpful allies. With very few ex ceptions w'e have found them ready, at all times, to publish information relative to our work and to give apace In their columns to matter that we have sent them from time to time which we believed might be Jielpftil to their readers. They have Tery generously given space to the yubldcation of our ’^fews on subjects relatlTe to the upbuilding of the Southeast. Many of the newspapers hare gone farther than this and have commended our policies edi torially.” Suggesting methods in which the press could of aid in community de velopment, Mr. Finley spoke of the publication of matter that would be helpful to the people already, living in the Southeast, emphasizing the im portance of farm papers and of devot ing space in the daily and weekly pa pers to information as to the beat farm methods. He suggested that each newspaper should be a booster for the Southeast as a whole and for its own particular community, not exaggerat ing or overstating advantages and op portunities, for the truth about the Southeast was good enugh. He sug gested that newspaper men aoting as correspondents of papers published in other localitfes should embrace every proper opportunity to incorporate in their news letters and despatches mat ter that would serve to attract favor able attention to their communities. Speaking of the exceptional opportuni ties for community development in the Southeast, Mr. Finley said: "It is a field in which intelligent ly directed efforts are sure to bring results. In no State are the oppor- lunities greater than in North Caro-1 Winter Cover Crep*.
