The South's Attitude Toward Tl
Railroads.
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 ,

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

a- "protect the public" they should rec-1
