The. Railroads and The Future.
Manufacturer! Record.
The halt which has come to rail
road construction in the South in
cansequence of agitation threaten
ing investments in railroad promis
es to occasion serious hindrances
to agriculture, manufactures and
commerce. At the very time
when industry in all its branches
was expanding with wonderful
vigor and rapidity, demanding
greater and greater facilities for
traffic, and while the railroads
were doing their utmost to meet
those requirements, came the liood
of legislation to cut down the prof
its of the corporations just when
they were most needed; needed,
too, for, expenditures to supply
necessary track equipment and
other facilities for transporting
people and freight in the advance
ment of the business interests of
the country. But that was not all
the evil wrought by such laws.
They checked in its How toward
the South money so much de
manded for devlopment of new
railroad and other enterprises and
have caused a halt to progress.
Had there been any general and
substantial outcry against the rail
roads for widespread injustice in
their freight or passenger tariffs
some excuse might have been found
for the passage of regulatory acts,
but there was little such agitation,
and therefore the conclusion is
forced upon the observer that the
responsibility for the passing of
such laws lies mainly with a com
paratively few politicians, inspired
by selfish motives, perhaps of a re
taliatory nature.
Yet it is to the future that one
mil st look for the worst effect of
these laws. Conrneree and iinlus
try are making greater demands
upon the railroads for adequate
facilities, but the companies are
hard pressed for money, and orders
for new cars and engines have fal
len off tremendously as compared
with last year, although there has
not been any let-up in the rush of
freight, and most of the rouds are
handling more business than ever.
Necessarily ther must come a time
when another crreat congestion of
- 0
traffic will occur, causing both em
barrassment and loss to various
branches of human enterprise and
labor. The money to proyide
those things which the railroads
nl is not to be had except at
prohibitive rates of interest, and
borrowing has to be done by means
of short-time notes for meeting
pressing requirements. The out
come of such conditions is plain
enough. It migh be easier had
not lalwr and everything else
which the railroads need advanced
in cost, but these increases in
operating expenses, coupled with
decreased earning power under the
new laws, have put the companies
at their wits' end for the handling
of their finances.
To sum it up, the situation is
this: The railroads need more
funds to meet the needs of their
patrons. Kates of interest demand
ed by capital are higher than ever
for railroad enterpises; too high for
the roads to afford. How, then,
can they prevent another conges
tion of traffic and loss to businssst
There has been some chatter
about home capital for building
railroads, particularly in Texas,
but there is not enough home cap
ital to build all the lines needed,
and there is practically none to
supply the requirements of existing
roads in the matters of extensions
and equipment. Moreover, home
capital is just like other capital, in
that it seeks the greatest return
possible for its investments, and
there are plenty of other things
which promise more than railroads
at the present time. The money
