Declaring that the Interests of a railway, and of the people depending upon it, for transportation are identi cal. President W. W. Finley.jOf the Southern Railway Company. 'as . one of. (he principal speakers at a banquet here to-night in connection with the meeting of railroad officials and lum bermen made a strong plea for failr treatment towards the railroads of the country on the part of the public. All that the railways asked,,, he said, was the assurance of perfect liberty .'to develop their business under the pro tection of Jvst and fair laws. . Contending that the future growth of the South depended, " in , large measure, on the attitude of Southern communities toward railway ; develop ment, he said: ; ' FORERUNNERS OF WEALTH. ' "I cannot conceive that the people of ' any - locality should deliberately favor a policy that, would restrict in vestments, for business men will not put their money in any locality unless they are assured that its. transport tion agencies are strong and prosper ous enough to expand their service with the growth of business. Since the .construction of railways first Be gan, they have ever neen tne iore runners of investments. In this day, in ' localities , already, supplied with railways.? further Investments . depend upon assurance of the adequacy of railway facilities. For these reasons Southern industrial "development and Southern railway -development must go hand in hand in the future as. they have in the past. i. Stifle or restrict railway ' development In ' any section, and the Inevitable result will be to stifle or restrict all. industrial progjesg and material advancement in that sec tion. . " - A FINANCIAL PROBLEM. Mr. Finley said that if the railways of the South are - to Increase ; their effclency as . transportation agencies and as allies of Southern communities for Southern development, they must spend large sums of money, within the next few years. He said that the vital question confronting the -railways and the Southern people was as to how the money for this purpose was to be obtained Mr. Finley pointed Out the utter inadequacy of railway Income to pro vide funds for betterment and exten sions, showing that If every dollar of the net Income of the Southern Rail way from Its organization had been used for this purpose It would . have amounted to only about $3,600 per mile, whereas the road has actually spent, or contracted to spend, for cap itallzed betterments' and improve ments, more than 196,000,000. or with In a fraction of $14,000 per tnlle on Its present mileage. He showed that ade quate funds could be obtained only by borrowing and that every attack on the earning power of the railway through legislation reducing arbitrari ly its charges or imposing onerous and restrictive conditions on Its operation, is an attack on its ability to maintain and Improve Its service and reacts on those it is Intended to benefit. , ' , ' REDUCTION OF FARES. ' ". Referring" t6 the proposition to re duce passenger fares in the Southern States as an illustration of the char acter of legislation that cripples the ability of a railway to perform ser vice and Improve its facilities, Mr. Finley pointed ' out, that passenger rates that might be profitable in States with dense population and heavy passenger traffic, like Massachu setts, New York or Ohio, , would be impossible in States like Tennessee and Mississippi, where the population is so scarce that heavy traffic cannot be built up at any rates. - He contended that all" laws imposing penalties on railways fot failure to perform im possible service were inimical both to the railways and the public. In conclusion. President Finley said the South needs urgently and speedily a great expansion of Its transportation facilities. The railroads are willing and anxioua to supply these facilities, he said, if given fair play and a square deal. - I proper when placed in formal arti cles of Incorporation. He therefore refused to affix his signature to the certificate , until the improper matter Shall have been eliminated. , ; " Thirditenn Proposition Meets With ' , Frost in Pennsylvania.

The title ot the case Is The American Asphalt Association against the Uintah Railway Company. The complainant is engaged In the mining and shipment of gllsonlte from Utah and In the conversion ot gllsonlte Into a commercial proauct, aspnaitum. The defendant operates a railroad line between.

It is claimed that the tar iffs filed with the liter-State . com merce commission by . the railroad company are. not observed and that the complainant Is subjected to 1 ex cessive charges, discriminations .and injustice. Tne complainant aoes nox know what the railroad charges the Gilson Company, but says It would make no difference what the charge might be,-as, being controlled by tne asphalt trust, it simply would be tak ing money out of one poc-tet ana put ting it in another. It is alleged also that the railroad furnishes free trans portation to the officials of the com plainant's competitor companies. , The commission is requested to ad just the charges made for the carry ing of freight on a just and reasonable basis, to crive the. complainant repar- atory damages in the sum of $10,000 and to issue orders to prevent a con tinuance of the discrimination against the complainant; . docket against any -roadnn the State ana that no complaints of failure to properly bulletin are on file in the of flee of the corporation commission. Jt is expected that the penalties impos ed will have a very salutary effect in the future. In a number of cases the bulletining of trains has been irregu lar and careless to the last degree and at some points had come to be a Joko, but the corporation commission, which has plenty of power now, is taking hold of things witn a strong hand, and better schedules, better accommo dations at stations and on trains and better handling of freight may, with abjolute certainty, -r be looked for by THE COWHIDE TREATMENT.
