Asheville, N. O. iiv At the
meeting of the North Carolina Press
Association In Asheville to-day Pres
ident Finley, of the Southern Railway
Company, delivered an address on
"The Relations of the Press and Um
Railways and the Value of their Co
operation in Community Develop
ment." Mr. Finley pointed out the natural
basis for co-operation between the,
press and the railways growing out
of the substantial identity of their In
terests in community develonment and
prosperity, bringing to the newspapers
additional subscribers and advertising
ana to the railways increased trafllo
and making It logical that the press
and the railways, in their resnective
fields, should work in close coopera
tion ror community development . He
recognized that, while the newspapers
and the railways were thus natural
allies in community development It
did not follow that there should not
be fair criticism of the railways, and
saia:
"Fair and just criticism is a proper
function of a free press, but criti
cism of the agencies which provide
tne transportation facilities of the
community should take account of
the economic conditions under
which those agencies must work
and should aim, in respeot to a
factor so essential to community
aeveiopment to be helpful and edu
cational rather than being along
lines tending to create unreason'
lng prejudice.
"Personally, I am a great reader
of the newspapers. I appreciate at
its full value the work they are do
ing and t recognize in their edltera.
in many cases, the spokesmen of
ueir communities. I do net ignore
wnat is said In the newsnanera rel
ative to our policies. I always take
note of newspaper criticism oa mat
ters that it may be within our power
te remedy and all suoh matters are
given attention eo far as it may be
practicable to do so."
Rf erring to the fact that a railway
can not wm the support of public
opinion through the exercise of politl
cal influenoe or in any other wit
cept by the intelligent and effective
performance of Its funotlons as a ear.
rier and by its responsiveness to fair
oritlcism, Mr. Finley pointed out that
its position can only be secure when
the eoonomic conditions surrounding
its operation and the importance 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 oltlsen-
ship. He spoke of the moral renosi
ibillty of the press la this connection
and ,of Its power, by presenting fully
ana -rainy, the economic situation 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 Is ladls-
pensaDie to effective oo-operatlon.
As, in an economic sense, produc
tion is not complete until good are
put In a position for consumption. Mr.
Finley spoke of the railways as crea
tors oi value and as aa Indispensable
part ; of the producing equipment of
every community and of every farmer
and manufacturer in it and said that
unjust criticism directed against
farmers and manufacturers would be
just as logical as against the railwara
Speaking of the right of the rail
ways, just as of any ether busin.
enterprise to present their cause, fully
ana rreely, before courts, administra
tive tribunals, legislatures, and the
oar of public opinion, Mr. Finley said
"Enlightened public opinion In
the United States will not justify the
relegation of the railways to the
status of the Jew In iffngland in the
Middle Ages, when, as we read In
Madoxe's History of the Excheauar:
'Josce Quartebuch gave forty marks
that his son Hekelln might be dealt
with according to Justice'; and 'Jur-
net of Norwich gave 1.800 marks
that he might reside In England with
the King's good will.'
"The railways are asking for no
, special favors. They ask only that
their Importance In the development
of the country and that the Inter
est which each Individual has In
their,, efficiency shall be frankly
recognized. They ask that differ
ences which may arise between them
and - Individuals or communities
; shall be subjects of full and free
conference to be adjusted in accord
ance with sound business principles,
i or that, falling such adjustment,
they; shall be adjudicated by the
tribunals constituted by law."
L Having outlined the condition which
e believed to be necessary to the
most effective cooperation between
j ta press and the railways for com
tnuaity development Mr. Finley ex
pressed-the opinion that such coop
eration was esesntial to the fullest de
velopment and prosperity of any com
munity because intelligence and trans
portation w.ere fundamental factors In
development it being the function of
Vie press to disseminate the first and
of the railways to provide the second.
He outlined the work which the
Southern Railway Company is doing
to aid in the development of the ter
ritory traversed by Its lines, express
ing the opinion that it could be said,
without boastfulness, to be more com
prehensive than similar work being
done by any other railway organiza
tion in the United States. He said:
"In our work for community de
velopment it is our policy to co-operate
closely with individuals and or
ganizations. That it may have been
more effective in some localities
than In others has eeen due larselv
to local conditions, Including the de
gree of co-operation that we have
received. We believe that It has
been particularly effective in West
ern 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
velopment of this part of the State.
We should be very glad to partici
pate in other territorial movements
or in a State-wide movement of the
same kind, if carried on directly un
der the auspices of the State or
through a responsible organization
similar to that in this region.
"In all 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 we 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
helpful to their readers. They have
very generously given space to "the
publication of our views on subjects
relative to the upbuilding of the
Southeast Many of the newspapers
have gone farther than this and
have commended our policies edi
torially."
Suggesting methods In which the
press could pe of aid in community de
velopment, Mr. Finley spoke of the
puDncation or matter that would be
helpful to the people already livins:
ta the Southeast emnhasizlnz tha im
portance of farm papers and of devot
ing space In the dally and weekly ca
pers to Information as to the best
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, tor the truth about th
Boutneast was good enugh. He sue-
gested that newspaper men acting as
correspondents of papers published in
other localities 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 intellieent-
ly directed efforts are sure to bring
results. In no State are the oppor
tunities greater than in North Caro
lina. In no State has progress with
in recent years been more rapid.
The members of this Association
have been among the most effective
Workers for community development
in the past and I know that your
efforts will be continued. I wish
eaoh one of yeu the largest measure
of success and assure you of tha
hearty co-operation ef the Southern
Railway Company In community development"

Durham The county road force has
oompleted that part of tha central
highway in Durham county and when
