J Baltimore Sun. It may be true, as our esteemo contemporary, the New York Pros asserts, in reply to the suggastio that state regulation of rates hi eaten up the Seaboard Air Line's r< | venues, that "there has not bee II enough of enforcement of low. I charges to affect the company's re I -enue." It may be conceded that tl I reduced rates have been effective ft S only a few months and that the d R minution of the company's receip 8 from this cause alone did not lmstc Ij the receivership. Hut there are oth< I facts and considerations which eai g not be ignored in a candid and tho B ongli discussion of the laws enacU I by southern legislatures for the regi B lation of freight and passenger rate I The Sun advocated just, and reasoi | .able regulation by congress of rai f roads engaged in interstate comnverc l> "with ample safeguards for protectic | of the public of the railroads. Tl | law enacted by conveys, known ; | the Hepburn act, increases the powi | of the interstate commerce commi ( sion, enables the commission to su I 'statute a rate which it considers fa ; and reasonable for an excessive rat and gives the railroads the right < appeal to the federal courts fro the decision of the commission. The right of five several states L regulate railroad rates within tno ^ boundaries is not <iuestioned. ( course, there can be no regulatii fis confiscatory. But a print is involved in Mie regulatit li touches the wel'fare of the pu s deeply as it does that of tl nads. We do not know of tu r section* of the United Stat : dependent for development u lie railroads than the sout'hei ss. These states have enormoi ral rsources, which cannot be d lied properly without the assis of outside capital. Much of tl tal which investors in other st have placed in the south is i ed in railroad properties. Tho st incuts were made at a tin n public opinion in the south w jrly hostile to the railroads, win ilation was not a political issi every township and county cili the politicians could make burning question." It is not d I that the railroad manageme frequently tactless, and often a ary. It is recognized that tl pie of some of the southern st had a just, grievance at times tfospect to discriminations. They hi Iffwie right to redress these grievance to demand uniformly just ai j^^jlhitable treatment. But it is an opt ^(festion whether the politicians d ^?(i induce the people to apply a r ?ji"tkly which may be injurious to tl I j material interests of the south , ||pell as lo the railroads. ;!j| (Capital will not promote railroi ^Enterprises or any other underta Ifhgs unless it has reasonable assu Islfttteo of a fair return on its inves l No business man in the soul V/,A$)tild invest his funds in a proje KfiKfiich was subject every two year lllPli whenever the state legislatur pllttfifet, to regulation which might stc ;>]mOrt only of confiscation. In sen ^ down the rates vhich railroa< |$ffl||tho south may charge for haulir 'V-Mlpfht and transporting passengc t. /?6|t'hern legislatures may have at warrant in the law. That is JjljSpstion for tho highest court in tl | land lo decide. The Seaboard Air I Lino may not have suffered great!v is i ? J Iroin ihe reduction i:i rates very re- i contly established by southern legisla- j tures. But is it not probable, that' n the prospect of further legislation? ?>t coulinued agitation for even more drastic regulation would make it difi limit for any railroad i:i the south to i (I borrow money even in a time finan11' cial conditions were normal? At a; it period of financial stringency it is j f- probable that outside capital would I uj , find its way into a region where there I was a disposition to deal with raild , roads in a spirit of implicnble, if not 0 | tin reasonng, hostility? >- 1 We do yof believe the business in11 terests of the south and the thought ^ fill men of that section desire any n regulation of railroads which in spits rit and effect is not both just and g wise. We do not believe they approve ol a policy which would bring disass ter upon the railroads in retaliation j d for past wrongs whieJi the people 'S may have suffered. That would not d be sensible. We think the public is is entitled to protection, not only from railroad corporations, but also from c legislatures which act hastily and i_ thoughtlessly sometimes, when action j_ i should be taken only after deliberaiG I tion and searching inquiry. We can(? not conceive that enlightened souMii_ ern men as anxious to put the sou Mi s- | 111 iX position in which ii will offer! j fewer inducements to capital. What a the best southern opinion 'should do j is lo demand fair plav fur both capital and the public?nut in a senlimental way, but as a practical 'business proposition. The south wants more railroads. It wants better ?d i equipment for the railroads it now ss possesses. It will find it exceedingly i ,n difficult to secure outside capital for! vs these imposes unless it can convince) investors (hat their bonds and stocks] in will be protected from the hostility' jr and, in many cases Ihe ignorance of legislators. ie About the tenth of the wealth of jr this nation is represented by railroad i_ proper!y. A vast army of toilers dets pend upon the railroads for wages, m The money which the railroads disburse in wages and equipment finds a- its way almost immediately into the r- Channels of business. Therefore :d when state lejiislatnres undertake to a- "protect the public" they should rec-1 s. ognize that the. public is composed of 1 ^ Start the ab S B of m : Opening a Si )U t Know how mui b;; Know for what es ,pn You will find a ns <- - Books at the B and see them an nae lection. as m 1 MAYES' BO ent NEWBER lie in s YOUR B. : THE NEWBERRY ns ld Capital $50,000 kr No Matter How Small, et The Newberry es >p will give it careful att .1applies to the men and 'o Z Jas.
