CREDIT MUST BE IMFMVED Increase of Transportation Facilities Necesa.iry to Secura Relief From High Co?t of Living May Thus Be Provided For liy the Railroade< Washington, Nov. 28. A new policy of government railroad regulation, based on constructive principles of helpfulness and cmuu ranenicnt Instead of upon principles of repression and punishment , was urged by Alfred P. Thorn, counsel for (ho Hallway KxeeU tlvw' Advisory Committee, t lie llrst witness on lielmlf of the railroads l>e fore the Newtands Joint (.'onnulttoo on Interstate Commerce, which has insti tuted a general Inquiry Into the prob lems of railroad regulation. "It is proposed hy the Joint resolu tion of Congress," said Mr. Thoni, "to go into a comprehensive stuoy of the whole subject oi trans (natation, to make a new assessment, after lil) years Of experiment, of Its history, Its prt?s nil conditions and its future needs. The railroads accept the \lew that reg ulation is a permanent and enduring part of government In America aiul that the tlrst duty of the carriers Is to the public. That duty Is to afford reasonable facilities on reasonable terms and at. reasonable rates, aad thin must be done before any private inter ests can be considered." Certainty, Safety and Surficioi)cy. Mr. TKorn contended that the real in terest of the public Is in being afltmred of certainty, safety and muflleleijcy of transportation facilities, rather than In rates. The tlrst consideration of the public is to obtain transportation facili ties. ' What, .the cost is, is in reality a second consideration, he aai'i. Mr. Thoni proposed an Increase of transportation "facilities as a method of securing relief from the high cost of living. "There have been lus* than 1,000 miles of new railroad constructed iu the United States during the past year/' he said, "less than in any year since - 1648; - r.vr-T?pt~ Hwr -period of the War. and yet the cost of living is daily advancing owing to a shortage of sup plies which might he remedied by se curing access to new areas oi produc tion. Credit Musi Be Improved. "Thin leads* to the consideration ?s to whether ruilroAd crwllt Is iik good ?s the public Interest requires. It 1h im possible for railroads to earn enough to supply th>' necessary new facilities ' from nurrent revenue. _Ihey must be provided from credit. Investors can not be coerced, but must be attracted." Anion k the conditions affecting rail , road credit which deter investors he mentioned fhe following: "First, Itailroad revenues are not controlled by Investors, but are fixed and limited by -.govern mental authority | and not by one but by several govern j mental authorities,' which do not rcco>* ulze responsibility for assured results to investors and are uncoordinated. "Second, Railroads cannot control and the government cannot and d<K?s not limit the expense account. "Third, The present system of regu lation is based on a policy of regulation and correction and not on a policy of helpfulness and encouragement. "Fourth, Thi outstanding obligation* of the railroads have already exceeded the financial rule at safety and involve a disproportionate amount of' obliga tions bearing fixed charges. ? "Fifth, The inventor mUst accept a subordinate obligation or security with no assurance of a surplus of earnings to support it "Sixth, Other competitive Hues, of in vestment present superior attractions. "Seventh, The railroad business is largely controlled by political instead of business considera &on?. Look Forward, Not Back. "We may debate about wbat has caused the present conditions," said Mr. Thom, "but we eannot debate about what the people need. The President has taken the view that We mcM look forward in this matter and *iaake a fresh assessment of cirofTmjjta noes' in order to deal helpfully an f intelligent ly with the problem. Abuses arc no more prevalent in the rfiilroad busi ness today than In any otter business humanely conducted. The great ques tion now is whether the existing sys tem of regulation gives the public re liable assurance of sufficient present and future railroad facilities. "Those who oppose any change must make their appeal on the ground that the present systems assure the public of the continued adequacy of trans portation facilities.. If they do not, no argument based onthe desirability of the present dual system of regulation will be accepted. by public judgment. The question* of 'states' rights' Is not Involved. If the regulation of transpor tation facilities privately owned should fall government ownership roust fol low, and then all power of the states over the raflrpads won hi disappear. '"Let ns debate this question, then, not upon any roero theory or Jealousy as to t he> distribution pt governmental power, but upon the large issue of What the pahiks lJrtteast requires in respect bf the assurance of adequate transportation service." v V WOMKN t'NWKL HANNKK TiiTi?pll?l Willie iVtwldcni Mojo* Au uual AddrtHH.
