Work more— Produce more— Save more— But we can’t continue increasing our pro-, duction unless we continue increasing our rail- road facilities, The farms, mines and factories cannot in- crease their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products, Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity. Without railroad expansion--more engines, more cars, more tracks, more terminals—there can be little increase in production. But this country of ours is going to keep right on growing—and the railroads must grow with it. To command in the investment markets the Aow of new capital to expand railroad fa- cilities—and so increase production —there must be public confidence in the future earn- ing power of railroads. The nation’s business cas only grow as fast as the railroads grow.
