As to the taxes paid by the railroads of the “country, Mr. Elliott said in 1910 they were $103,000,000, while for 1919 they will be. $250,000,- 000. n d Mr. Plliott pointed out that: “Without an increase in rates a very large number of railroad com- panies will face bankruptcy, and very few of those who escape this unfort- { unate plight can pay any return . to the shareholders.” And that: “This will check the expansion of facilities just at a time when the country should be getting ready ' for an increased parhmpatlofl in world affair: Mr. Eliott add@d' “Railroad officers appreciate as well as any class of men in industrial life the desirability of having rates ad- justed so that ‘continuous develop- ment will go on in the country. “They also realize that it is their duty to the public to take every rea- sonable step to have rateés so adjust- “|ed that good service can be given to the public, good compensation to em- ployes and return made to present and prospective owrcrs“of securitlés so that capital can be obtained for the nepessary expansion of the plant.” In conclusion he said: d 0 0 The Interstate Commerce Com- “Raflroad officers are fully alive to mission had granted -to the eastern|the seriousness of. the situation and raflroads in the summor of 1917, about | of the Josition of ‘trust. they occupy 1alf 1e 18 per’cenf. inercase ask-|in trving to solve this problem fair- A for. and eragted the rémainder on|ly in the interest of <the public. -the March 1918, after the ruads had nder the control of The amount, however, w: insufficient to meet the ri e ng ide pf expenses, and.on June 10, great army of employes, the = large numbgr of owners and the still larzer ‘numher wha are vitally _intarpsted ecause of their savings bhank depos- ts and insurance holicies. iandl‘mg iInclo Sam’s Side In Coal Trouble The man who will direct the legal procedure of the Government against the mine workers is Judge Gkarles 3.
