A GRAVE CRISIS CON
FRONTS THE RAILROADS
CLOSED MONEY MARKETS OF EUROPE
TO THEM INDEFINITELY
WAR HAS
In Viow of tho fact that ono of tho
railroads of Nebraska has already Hied
an application for an IncreaBo of rates
with the State Railway Commission, it
is tho deslro of all tho railroads to
ntilteo this opportunity for an iutimato
and frank diflousoion of tho tvbolo rail
road question with tho pcoplo of this
etoto. To this end, tho careful atten
tion of tho reador is invited to n sorles
of articles which will appear in this
newspaper during tho next few weokH
and which will contain tho most far
roaohing discussion of this great prob
lem that has ovor appoarod in tho
pnblio prots. All that is asked in tho
meantime is that tho people of No
lirankn aooord to tho railroads tho
nmirtcnr nf Hstpniopr to their eido of
tho storv and thon form such oonolu
ninnn as. in their uidKmont, tho facte
may warrant.
That tho railroads of tho Unltod
States aro today confronted by the
gravest orisis of thoir history thoro is
not Urn Fllohloat (mention. For somo
vnnrs thov havo been desperately
strncKlinK with an over increasing
cost of oporation in tho face of reduced
freight and passenger rates but seri
mis as this situation wus befoto, the
European war, which has indefinitely
closed to thorn the foreign monoy mar
kets, has suddenly brought them faoe
to faco with a situation whioh threat
ens not merely many now rocoivor
ships but tho actual paralysis of tho
ontiro transportation industry of tho
nation. It was this Btato of affairs
whioh compelled tho closing of tho
Now York Stook Exchange somo
months ago. What will happen in tho
future tho fnturo alono can tell.
Amorioan railroads nro valued in
round figures at twenty billion dollars,
and of this vast sum nearly fivo billion
dollars worth of seotiritios aro held
abroad. Should Europo, in its frantic
struggle for funds, seek to convert
those soourities into cash during tuo
next twolvo months, where is the
money to oomo from with whioh to
buy thom? and failing to pioteot
theso soourities, what demoralization
will follow not meroly in railroad in
vestments but in all othor American
industrial values as well? Tho recent
statement of David Lloyd-Georgo,
Chancellor of tho Exohequor, that tho
inability of Englishmen to convert
thoir Amorioan investments into cash
is crippling Great Britain in its pres
ent emorgonoy is ominously signifi
cant. Possibly tho New York Stock
Exohango may bo able to resumo
operations without disaster for the
timo being but that tho finances not
moroly of tho United States but of tho
world will bo subjeot to a strain
without precedent in history during tho
next year or two is, so apparent that it
requires no oxtonded comment. In a
future article this phasn of tho ques
tion will bo dealt with mora fully.
President Wilson's Views
That tho situation is profoundly se
rious is manifested by the recent ut
toranco of Prcsldon't Wilson to a group
of eastern railroad executives, In his
letter to Mr Trumbull of tho Chesa
peake & Ohio ho suid:
"You ask mo to call tho attention 61
tho country to tha imparativo neod
that railway credits bo sustained and
tho railroads helpod in every posslblo
woy, whother by private oo-oporativo
effort or by tho action wherovor feas
able of governmental agoncieB, and I
am glad to do so, beoauso I think the
need is very roal.
"They aro indispensable to our
whole oconomio lifo, und railway so
outities are at the very heart of most
investments, largo and small, public
and private, by individuals ana by in
stitntioiiB.
"I urn confident thoro will be earn
est and notivo co-operation in this
matter, perhaps tho ono common in
torost of our wholo industrial lifo.
"Undoubtedly men, both in and out
of ofilolal position, will appreciate
what is involvod und lond thoir aid
heartily to whatever it is possible for
them to iond it. Dut tho emorgonoy is
in fact extraordinary and whero thoro

is manifest common interest wo ought
all of us to sposk out in its behalf,
and 1 nm glnd to join jou in calling
nltontinn to it. This is n time for all
to Bland together in uuitpd iffort to
comprehend overy intorrst and nervo
aud sustain it in eveiy legitimato
way."
Railroads Lost nilllons
Tho not operating incomo of thu
railroads of tho United Stales for tho
year ending Jiiuo SO, 1914, was $120,
000,000 less than for tho previous year.
Tho groan earnings for thq year wore
$-14,000,000 less than fof 1913 whllo
expenses and taxes woto $70,000,000
moro. Dut heavy as this burden wus
buforo. thu creat striificlo across tho
sea, carrying ia its wako tho destruo
tlon of untold hundreds of millions of
dollars worth of all kinds of property,
rendora the situation a thousand-fold
moro serious. It means, in short, that
for a number of years to como Europe
will havo no surplus monoy for in
vestment in tho United States or else
whero and that American railroads
will have to financo their futuro needs
uthomel How herculean this tusk
will bo, saving nothing about protect
ing themselves against tho dumpingof
foreign securities, may be judged from
tho fact that tho bona anil noto obli
gations which will maturo between
now and tho end. of next yoar, and
which tho railroads will havo to meot
in como way, amount to moro thun
$500,000,000 and this dorsu't tako a
dollars worth of now improvements or
betterments into consideration. These
are obligations whioh wore incurred in
tho past and which must bo mot 'as
they fall duo if tho transportation
companies uro to bo preserved from
wholesale roooiversuips and ruin.
Manifestly, therofore, American in
terests, big and little, will havo to
como to tho resoue and boforo thoy
will consent to do this American mil
road beouritioa will havo to bo rees
tablished us a sound, roipentod aud
paying investment and this ou tho
basis of present railroad earnings, is
impossible I
For this reason tho railroads of No-
brsmkit believo tho impending crisis do-
mands that thoy lay this wholo prob
lem beforo tho peoplo of tho eutire
state that thoy havo a hoart-to-heurt
talk with tho farmor, the merchant, tho
manufuoturor, tho banker, tho labor
ing man, and all other oitizous upon
this groat question which so vitally af
fects the futuio welfare of tho com
monwealth and tho nation,
Why Railroads arc Helpless
In times of actual finanoial stress,
private industries aro in position to
very largely adjust thoir affairs to
meet tho emergency. Thoy can ad
vance tho prico of their commodities,
ont their pay roll in half, or shutdown
altogether, and tuus pormit the storm
to blow over without actual ship
wrook, Tho railroads, as quasi-publio
eutorpriscs, howover, aro in an en
tirely different position, Their rates
aro regulated by law and cannot bo
advanced without the oonsont of tho
peoplo through their law making bod
ies. In order to plcaso tho conven
iouoo of tho public and not to break
down tho commoroo of tho country
they must operate thoir freight and
passenger trains wuotuor tuey carry
a full load or only u quarter of a load
and In viow of this faot it is mani
festly unfair to put the railroads in
the Biirco cIobb with private industries
io tho present crieds and usk thom to
shift for themselves as best thoy can,
Whon tho peoplo took over tho ciyn
ploto making and regulation of rail
road rates they at tho tame timo as
sumed tho solomn implied obligation to
seo that tho railroads got a squaro doal
for tho ponplo aro tho only power
that stands betwoon thom and ruin,
Wo balieva ovorv intollicont citizen
will agrejo that ugrloulturo, commoroo
and industry oannot get along without
tho railroads. On tho other hand, tho
patronage anil, what ii equally essen
tial, tho gcod will of tho people. That

with railroad m.inngomout in tho past
urn fomewhut rcBponsibltJ for tho np-
parent gulf between thoptiblio mid the
transportation compsnies is peihaps
true. Uusy and liarressed by the nor
uuleau tasks entrusted to their care,
there has been too little contact be
tween them aud tho peonlo Again, it
is undoubtedly true that the world of
railroad financo as wi-ll a other lines
of industrial activity has had its share
of (ixonsablo abustn but just us tho
pnblio doos not hold the banking
world or tho ministry responsible bb
a wholo for tho shortcomings of an oc
casional bluok sheep, so the hundreds
of honest railroad oflloials throughout
tho country should not bo condemned
because of tho misdeeds of tho fow.
Who Owns the Railroads?
In this connection it may bu said
that tho railroad world Is otioumborod
with a lot of phuutoros whioh rxist
only in tho populur funoy. Fur in
stance, brcauto there huo been somo
half dozen so culled railroad magnets
whoso names havo figured prominently
in Wall Street, mauy pi ople have como
to believo that tho railroads of tho
oouutry aro largely owned by a fow
rich men. As a matter of loot, noth
ing could bo farther from the truth.
Out of tho colossal sum of twenty bil
lion dollars invested in American rail
road securities less than fj per cent is
now, or evor has boon, in tho bauds
of these men who havo figured promi
nently in tho newspaper headlines
whllo tho other' 95 per cont is in tho
hands of nearly two million investors,
largo and small, who in many inctano
es havo put tho modest savings of a
life timo into thoBO securities in ordor
that thoy might lay away a compe
tency for old ago.
When, thoroforo, tho ynluo of theso
securities is depressed, or porohanco
destroyed, the hardship is ten-fold
groalor upon thousands of everyday
citizens upon tho frugal mechanic in
a Now England factory, tho widow
with her lifo insurance funds, and tho
countless othor citizous in ovory avo
cation and wulktin lifo than upon the
handful of millionaires, good or bad,
who havo flgnrod prominently in rail
road circles. Thus, for instance, tho
great Pennsylvania system has over
70,000 stockholders, while tho Santa
Fo bus ovor 40,000, and tho same
ratio holds good in nearly all tho other
lines
Many Other Investments Affected
But that isn't all. For many years
railroad bonds wero considered tho
safest and soundest investment in tho
country, and honoo hundreds of mil
lions ol tuo assets or our grout luo in
surance companies, banks, benevolont
associations and colleges woro in
vested in them, and the moment, thoro
foro, that tho soundness of thiso se
curities is affected thu financial solid
ity of theso myriad institutions is
greatly menaced ut tho same timo.
Carrying it a step further, it means
that ever; holder of an old lino lifo
insuraneo i olioy aud millions of de
positors in savings and othor bankB,
and thoso interoetod in many fiduoiary,
bonovolont aud educational institu
tions aro directly concorned in the
present situation, whioh threatens to
largely destroy tho high regard in
whioh an investment in railroad bonds
was held.
In the impending orisis, therofore,
not meroly tho fate of our transporta
tion systom is at stako, but along with
it tho very financial integrity of our
ontiro investment world and this only
goes to show how vast and ovorshad
owing our railroad industry bus bo-
come-hbw thoy are not moroly tho
giant arteries of ugrloulturo and com
merce, but how olrsely their wolfaro
is wovon into tho woof and fabric of
tho ontiro nation. Among othor things,
it Bhould romipd us how interdepen
dent we havo oomo to bo in this mighty
republio of ours that eaoh is in truth
boooming moro und moro his brother's
keeper, and that wo noed to think and
aot carotully lest in our mistaken zeal
wo destroy thoso who, like oursolves,
noed whatevor of this world's goods
tho toll and swent of years has
beought them.
That tho timo has como whon tho
citizens of Nebraska and tho country
generally should do oomo serious

and vital question thoro Ib not tho
