A plea that President Wilson and congress "should without delay, order that an equita hlo hnsis for railroad revenues be instituted at once," was voiced by Samuel Rea, president of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, in . message, read today before the an nual convention of the Association of Life Insui-ance presidents, in ses sion here. "Let us have an end of restrict ive rmmDinir. tmritive regulation and besrin an era of constructive,! broadening work, wrote Mr. Re. "Let us consider how much the railroads can wisely spend, rather than how little they can get along Owing to his duties with the rail roads' war board, President Rea was unable to deliver his message in per son, instead, he wrote in part: 'Ler me say, most emphatically, that neither American agriculture nor industry can possibly progress beyond the capacity of the trans portation facilities ot the nation to handle their raw materials and their products. ' "When you stop railroad e-pension, in a country 01 ntch distances, population industrial and agricultural activities as ours, you automatically set a dead limit to iiu' expansion of commerce anu production. "As one of the chief of the un derlying causes which have been sapping our resources of transporta tion, I would name the continued fail ure to provide an adequately remu nerative basis of rates. The direct effect of this error has been to make it difficult to raise and sustain suffi cient capital for the improvements and extensions which are sorely need ed. In the mania for restricting the charges of transportation, the the Sajmcial possibility of perma nently maintaining quality of service seems to have been overlooked. Av ide from military considerations, we, in the railroad industry, know from personal observation that what the public and industries need is ser vice, rather than the saving of a fraction of a mill per ton mile. We know that there are many shippers in this country today who would gladly pay more than the establish ed 'rates to have their commodities moved promptly and regularly. The operating results and the net re turns of the railroads for many years show there has been a con stant riae in expenses Jand taxes, and a decreasing return on the in vestment in road and equipment. "I do not want to convey the im pression that the railroad situation is hopeless or that the credit of the roads is entirely crippled. Such is not the case. Their credit can be sustained and their usefulness in creased through the adoption by the regulating authorities of a respon sible and unified policy of fan treatment in the matter of freight rates. The government is allowing reasonable prices and profits to in dustry why not to the railroads? - "Such a policy, and not the loan of government credit, would, under normal conditions, be a permanent solution for the problem of railroad credit. I do not wish to be un derstood as saying that a govern ment loan might not be a desirable expedient if, under war conditions, the entire capital market is to be absorbed by the government. ; But it should be regarded as an expo nent only, justifiable, if at all, as an emergency measure. "The war is, to a great extent, re sponsible for the present conges tion to traffic and its movement out of normal channels, but the carri ers would now be far better able to cope with the condition if they had received more liberal treatment in the matter of rates during the past, at a time when they could have marketed securities and finan- ccd improvements while labor and i materials were reasonable in cost,' and the supply of both adequate. Ihe end of expansion and improvements on railroads is the beginning of de cay and the letting down of the standards of service. The lack of sympathetic attitude toward the railroads in governmental quarters hps unquestionably led to apprehan :dcn as to the future of their secu rities, and this, I personally believe, if not corrected, will ultimately af fect the credit of the government it self. "Notwithstanding prevailing high prices and the difficulty of getting, capital, it is imperative that prompt measures be taken to give the rail roads relief from the present ovet crowding of facilities, and a poor investment return. Nothing could be more hopeful to the country in these trying times than the adop tion of a broader, a more liberal and unified policy of regulation. The railroads are the great reliance of the public and the country. The public owns them. Public ownei ship is not a possibility, it is a fact.

The da for a small policy and slow action has past. The railroads have sub ordinated their interests iand acti vities; the citizens and our courts are ready for a larger and more equitable policy, and the president and congress should without delay recognize that fact and order that an equitable basis of railroad reve nues be instituted at once, which will encourage investors to retain their railroad securities and do their shart in providing the capital which can be spared as the govern ment demands are met from timt. to time. We must get away from the present line of confiscatory re turns for an equitable return on the investment devoted to public use. The statistics are at hand to em phasize what the return must be; ah that is required is the requisite courage to enact the policy in reg ulation and legislation."

"Was the $600 income monthly sufficient to meet Mr. 'Robinson's exenses?" Mr. Cansler asked. The defendant beamed. He did not laugh outright, but he was near it, "Mrs. Robinson would spend all she had." he said, "but that was not sufficient, as she had to borrow money on her California property. Mrs. King's income was not suffi cient as the borrowing of $34,000 and her checks show," he was now on the revocation of the trust fund of $125,000 denied by Mrs. Robinson.
