THROTTLING BUSINESS
Proposing that congress be asked
to pass a law that would enable a
government commission to take over
the various department stores of the
country and revise downward the
prices for shoes, clothes, house fur
nishings, drugs and notions and put
ting up the prices on lip-sticks, tal
cum and perfumery, the New York
Commercial remarks that everybody
buys the things mentioned, and that
almost everybody would be pleased
to see prices on staple goods lowered.
It also says that the department store
proprietors would make an awful
fuss about such a proceeding but
adds "such results are supposed to be
wholesome and good for business and
the public in general." The news
paper goes on to say:
"Why do we make the foregoing,
apparently silly proposal and why do
we believe that the outcome of such
a procedure would be beneficial?"
"Well, there is before congress the
so-called Hoch-Smith railroad rate
provision resolution that would do
to the railroad business what we
have proposed for the department
stores. Those who champion it say
that it will bless the public and not
hurt the railroads in the least. It
would simply lower the transporta
tion rates and cut down the revenues
of the railroads, of course, but the
carriers would not mind in the least
because they have had that sort of
thing done to them so often that they
have become used to it or at least
that is the theory.
"When will the people of this
country awake to the plans that are
constantly being made to upset bus
iness? To monkey with railroad
freight rates will merely serve to
cripple the buying and borrowing
power of the railroads, which are
spending a billion dollars a year for
materials that they must have. Stop
that buying and hard times will des
cend upon everybody. Hurt the rail
roads and everybody is injured."
There can be no denying the truth
of the statement made by the Com
mercial. The Hoch-Smith resolution,
which is expected to come up before
congress early in the next session, is
a proposition to upset the railroad
rate structure. There is a certainty
that na reductions can De made witn-
out adding to other rates, for the
railroads are not yet making even a
fair margin in earnings over ex
penses. The records show a wonderful ad
vance along the line of efficiency,
and economy in operation but the
thousands of stockholders who make
the roads possible get less than is
earned in almost any ether industry.
Incidentally, the railroad? provide
work for hundreds of thousands of
American citizens, pay more in taxes
to the various states through which
their lines pass, than is paid to stock
holders, and steadily endeavor to im
prove service and assist in building
up industry and commerce through
out the United States.

CAUSES OF FAILURE
W. G. Sibley, in the Chicago Jour
nal of Commerce, picture? the typi
cal failure as the man of 57, out of
work, out of funds, with white hair
and beard, dark, sunken eyes and
bony face, contemplating suicide. He
claims that while indolence, drink
and disease have worn out many of
them, there are also respectable fail
ures, men who are striving in vain
to secure comfort while living de
cently. These are of sanguine tempera
ment, hopeful, confident and opti
mistic to the last. But with these
admirable qualities has gone either
the inability to save, lack of fore
sight, ignorance of the value of time,
or to get the fundamental cause of
failure, inability to apply sound bus
iness principles to their personal af
fairs. Such failures, Mr. Silby points out.
are reflections on our educational
system for youth, which gives scant
attention to saving, accumulation,
thrift, and wise investment, all of
which might be inculcated to the
enormous benefit of each rising gen
eration. :o:-
