Baltimore. March 6. In their weekly letter, which will be issued to-morrow. Messrs. Middendorf. Wil liams A Co. have prepared an ex imiiHvc and imoortant article in which attention is called to the pres ent serious situation in the South and the necessity of a change of front on the part of Southern sentiment unless capital Is to be turned away hrcueh fear of confiscation. A monnis of the article follows: Vow that the force of the present widespread depression seems to have spent itself and tnat mauerB nmnan mercial and industrial are sc shsplnr themselves as to prepare the way for anotner uemenuum - forward, no question is of more vital interest than that which has to do with the part the South will play in the decade or two of progress and development which must in evitably follow the great crisis of 107-1908. Just as the unparalleled prosperity of the decade from 1897 to 1907 followed the trying" period irom IMS to 1S96. In tne aecaue of unprecedented agricultural busi ness, industrial, railway and other progress, wnicn ut-s "- presidential Inauguration in March. -. a,.a niu with the acute 1BII, cuuc v.j ...... crisis of October, JL907. the South s forward leaps were among the most marvelous achievements ot a marvel ous time. No section of the country made such phenomenal strides in this period, which saw the end of one century and the beginning of another, and no section of the coun try hss to Its credit a more splendid record of accomplishment In so brief a span of years. It may be said for purposes of comparison that half a decade before the old century came to an end the South was the poorest section of the country poor in known wealth, poor in recognized resources, poor in manufactures, poor in agricultural production with the prices which then prevailed, poor In railways and other forms of transportation, poor in known min eral resources, poor in everything, we may say. save hope and ideal ..i inttv nurnose: half a decade ,after the dawn of the new century, 'a wholly different picture was pre sented, a new Empire of the South, bullded on the solid, rough-hewn foundation of that old South, the memories ot which are still treasured nt tremendous ojr an, rn.il nnf"" - : wealth and resource, rich in trans portation facilities, rich In agri cultural products, rich In manu factures, rich in mineral wealth, rich In industry of alt kinds, rich la lumber In a word, a wealthy empire Instead of a poverty-stricken a-roup Of States. The South to-day Is far more different from the South of fifteen years ago than was the South of that day from the South of 188 J, although 80 years had elapsed and one-half that time had elapsed sines 1893. EVILS INCIDENTAL TO RAPID PROGRESS. The real problem, therefore, for the 8outh to solve at this time, the problem of first, of overwhelming importance, is to what limits the campaign of anti-corporate hostility which has been pushed vigorously in almost every Southern 8tate for several years. Is to be carried. IXn nneatianablv. when growth and de veloDment go at such a vigorous aa mni the case in. the South rinr the decade mentioned, evils must of necessity creep In; and It was doubtless a wise procedure to halt and take stock before these evils hsd gone too far, with a view of weeding them out and clearing the wajr for further advance along; right lines. But. we regret to say, dispassionate hostility to corporate evil soon gave way to dispassionate hostility to corporations themselves, and. in time, dispassionate hostility rave war to passionate hostility and in a number of Instances even to wild fury. The millennium has not been reached, nor Is there any likeli hood of It being reached on this earth at any time In the near future; and If the South hopes to bring about the millennium by its too often arbitrary action In the present anti-corporate campaign, It may wake some dsy to find that the millennium, which Is 'unreal, has not dawned, and that prosperity, which Is real, hss flown. It was well enough to attack evils and root them out; it was well enough to proceed against the various wrongs which had crept Into railway operations, tecret rebates, discriminations, un just tariffs; but to attempt to dic tate to owners of a property ex actly how tnat property shall be operated, to legislate away almost every right which Inheres In control, to arbitrarily enforce reductions of revenue at a time when hundreds of millions are needed by the railways of the routh for rrowth and ex pansion snl Improvement. Is In a way to kill the goose which has left f msnv golden eggs scattered through the South. It was well enough, as we have said, to search out the evil, but In the vehement and too often blind search, the good vii confused with the evil and the whole has sufff-ri-d. SELK-El'STAlNIXa RATES. Instead of hammering rates an! forcing the margin of profit of rail Toads to the lowest extremity. , the people of the South will fare murh better by lnlfttn- that the railroads charge, for services rendered, rates which will yield a fair return on the investment and provide from surplus earnings, betterments and reasonable and necessary extensions to their prop erty. Hammering; rates down forces rallrosds to provide for extensions an betterments by increasing capl- a lliatlon; thus the Legislatures and not the railroads become responsible or any overcapitalization which oc cur A continuance of the ham mering proce, furthermore, reduces the margin of profit below a reason able compensation for the use of the money and promp'Jjr stops all exten sion and betterments. The only sound policy, therefore. Is not only to permit but to force the railroad to charge sufficiently high .-atea to en able It to- carry safeljr Its capitalisa tion, and to provide from earnings for the rfafa transportation of the public and accommodations necessary by the extension of business. '-. EXTREMES TO WHICH LAW-MAKING HAS GONE. As an illustration of the extremes to which the present antl-rallroad crirsade has been carried, we direct attention to various bills paiuied by the law-making, bodies of different :.ien in comparatively recent months. A glance at these laws will show the scope and poser to the j uS:ie authorities over these lastru mer.ts ot commence. They stipulate how many trails t-.a!l be run each Czy, to-T ir.aty ciea thall be employ ed to operate each train, how many hours railway telegraphers shall wont how oars shall be equipped. how crossing shall be guarded, where trains ahall.be stopped, where and how stations shall be built, how quickly cars shall be furnished fol lowing- the requests of shippers, how many miles a Jay cars shall be mov ed, the number of days within which freight claims shall be paid, what shall constitute a cause of action to an injured employe, what defense the companies may make, how accounts snau pe Kept, what valuations enau be for purposes of taxation, and what rates shall be charged for the trans portation of persons and property. NO PROGRESS POSSIBLE IN FACE OP LEGISLATIVE WARFARE. We ask: in all earnestness and se rlousneas. can the South hope to re vlve the freshening and life-giving power of capital, can the South hope to call the all-powerful forces of new enterprise into being, go forward anJ grow ana expand ana open new ter rltory by railway extensions; and de- velop Its vast resources in the face of a legislative state oi mina similar to that which produced the laws above enumerated? Can the South hope to be other than isolated and neglect ed by outside capital, so essential to tne welfare and prosperity ot ve any growing region, while the pub lic mind Is directed against all man ner of corporate enterprise? This is the great question the South must answer, must find an -answer for. HELPLESS WITHOUT ARTERIES OF COMMERCE. President Roosevelt has described railways as the arteries through which the commercial life blood of a nation flows. In our opinion. nothing has contributed so signally In the past decade to the commercial and industrial -growth and develop ment of the South, to the opening up of its vast resources and the uncover ing of its great natural wealth, as the Increa-se of railway mileage in that section and the establishment of through connections by the linking up of shorter lines Into big systems. Without Its great railways, the South would have been as helpless as with out outside capital, and the one has contributed fully as much as the oth er to the wonderful progress and achievement of the past decade. If the South refuses to co-operate with these great arteries, b'inds itself to the tremendous advantages of rail way growth" and extension, refuses to encourage them and meet them in a spirit of fair play, then thenew South must inevitably be stunted In Its infancy, before its commercial strength has developed beyond a bare beginning. We have been Interested In railroads in the South for many years and have done our full share to wards giving this section these sin ews of commercial and industrial power; and we speak with a reason able authority when we say that the South cannot expect outsMe capital to risk Itself further in Southern en terprise until there Is a disposition shown to welcome and encourage and protect investors. CHARGES OF OVER-CAPITALIZA TION. It has been charged time and agaln that American' railways are over-capitalized. The net capitalization of all railroads In the United States in 1906 was $11,671,940,649 and the total mileage 214,478. The average capital ization per mile was $64,421. The fol lowing figures show the capital or co;t of construction per mile of railroads In other countries as of the year nam ed In the left-hand column: Capitalization or , , Cost of Const ruc- -.. tlon per mile. 19 United Kingdom ............1273.4m 194-KumIhii Europe W.9H lKi&orman Empire 10X4.15 19f4 Krance 133,871 li4 Austria 108.443 im Italy 110,104 ' lMa-Spaln 85.011 11K-United States (4,121 It will be seen at once that the cap italization per mile in the United States Is less than half of the capital ization or cost of construction per mile of railways in England, Ger many. France, Austria and Italy, and but little over half of the average for Russia and Spain. More than this American railways have been con structed by hlghigrade labor, the wages being from, two to twenty times as great as the wages paid In forolgn countries. Comparison with England shows that railways In the United States are capitalized at less than one- fifth the capitalization of British rail ways. It is difficult to understand, therefore, the repeated charges that our great transportation systems are heavily over-capitalized. Passing on to the question of rates, comparison of freight tariffs in this country with the tariffs of foreign countries shows that rates .In this country are vastly lower despite the fact that wages are uniformly higher. In the South In the past five or six years operating costs of every kind have advanced. Wages, supplies, ma terials of all kinds, fuel, everything that enters Into the cost of operation Is from 10 to 100 per cent, higher. Despite these advances In. all operat ing costs, however, freight and pas senger rates remained about the same until drastic action in a number of States forced reductions. The followV lng comparison between 1902 and 1906, for four of the largest systems In the South, shows how freight -an1 passenger tariffs remained unchanged In the face of the steadily Increasing cost of operation: Pss-senger Southern Rwy. ..!. 41 Louisville A- N 2.43 Aliunde C T. 2.M. Kfsboard 2.38 2 113 1.08 This four-year period covers the timn of the greatest advance in all op erating costs, yet, as the comparison shows, rates were -virtually unchang ed. In the face of this, however, drastic action has been taken In a number of States to enforce lowrr passenger and freight schedules. In that same period and despite the ex cessive costs of all new construction rnd operation, these four roads found the following Increases of mileage necessary In order to meet the grow ing reeds of the territory traversed: Aversge Mileage Operated Foillhern L r N. . a. c. r hesboard so 800.

Until the South comes to a full realization that prog ress without railroads Is Impossible, that railroads cannot be built with out capital and that capital will not risk itself In the face of injustice and legislative onslaughts, little headway can be made. FIXED CHARGES BARELY EARN ED. Those who were loudest In their outcry In the South a few months back claimed that the facilities of the railroads for handling the traf flc offered were by no means ade quate.. But a hickory club In the hands of a State Legislature or State commission could not hope to make them adeinuate. Money Is needed here iust as it is needed in all forms of expansion and develop ment: money and money alone win supply the necessary equipment. But where is this money coming from? Not from surplus funds, for the Southern railwavs are doing little more than ' earning their necessary fixed charges at this time, and despite this legislatures and commissions are ordering radical reductions; sal vatlon does not lie In. this quarter then. Where else then can the rail roads seek the millions necessary to equip their lines with adequate roll lng stock and bring their lines to the nignest emciency? x wnere, inaeea, except among- investors at home and abroad? And It is just here that the widespread anti-corporate hostility lays a cnimng nana on tne uoutni advance. Investors are willing to pice their funds in enterprises against which the public hand is rais ed; they will not run any rlsi of confiscation, even thdh that risk is remote in the extreme. This, then, is the situation In which most of the Southern foads find themselves public on the one hand clamoring for greater facilities and lower rates, and on the other an Investment sen timent paralysed by this very c'amor Between these two mll)stnes aio the railways. of the South, and what 'he outcome win d time aiono ca i tell. Without money there '.an be no in creased efficleaor; without this in creased efficiency tnre caa be no progress: witnout goodwill and hearty Pudiic co-operation there can be no money, investors holding back in fear. FTNALi PLEA TO SOUTHERN LA Wr MAKERS. The South hp now facing a far greater, a far more serious crisis, than It realizes, and we make a final plea to Southern law-makers and to others Influential in shaplnr opinion in the goutn to do everything In their pow er to stem the tide of feeling which must Inevitably recoil upon this sec tion. The South has barely begun to taste the fruits of commercial and industrial well-being, and those in power should think long and careful ly Derore doing the slightest thing to retard the already long-delayed pro gress. The reservoirs of stored en ergy are now filling rspld'y and mat ters are shaping themselves for an other long upward swing which will carry this country to a higher van tage ground or achievement- Will the South take its rightful place in this onward movement? Will It encour age commercial and Industrial de velopment, bringing happiness and prosperity, or will it ma it a politics Its chief industry, appealing to prejudice and hate hy adopting any kind of law Just so it Is against railroads or corporations, and follow a policy which can only paralyze the wheals of. commerce, and spread poverty and destruction over a land teeming with natural wealth and opportunity? Providence has Jone everything for the South; given It mineral wealth, agricultural wealth, favorable cli mate, artificial power In coal, to ship to Its neighbors, and natural water power to run its ml'ls. Capital can do the rest and make It one of the richest, most prosperous, and happi est section of this great country, If It Is permitted to do so. Will Its own people lock the door of opportu nity, destroy what capital it now has, and turn into other channels the tide of industrial activity which has dur- Mlle CIS. 1903 2.:t 2.83 Ton DM AW) 1.3 112 Mile Cts. 1!02 CM 0.74 Totsl UJii 14.439 TE'S OF MILLIONS NEEDED.
