TO TEACH CHILDREN SAFETY
As part of a campaign to impress children with the dangers of taking
“short cuts” over railroads, playing on the tracks or using railroaa right:
of way, bridges and trestles as highways, the Pennsylvania Railroad Sys
tem has issued an illustrated calendar which is being distributed to schools
on the lines East and West of Fittsburgh. Explaining the purpose in issu-
ing the calendar, the Company says:
“The Pennsylvania Railroad System is doing ail in its power to reduce
the loss of life which results from trespassing on railroad tracks; ye!
its lines, alone, there is a man, woman or child killed, while trespac:ing,
for nearly every day of the year.
“On the railroads of the United States, as a whole, an average of fifteen
people are killed each day while walking on the tracks, where they have
no right to walk. This has been called the most needless waste of life in
About an equal number of people are maimed daily from the
same cause. many of them permanently.
“A large proportion of the killed and injured are children.

try cannot afford a loss of this sort.”
The calendar begins with November, to cover ihe closing weeks

NEW POLICY NEEDED IN GOVERN- |
MENT RAILROAD CONTROL. |
. |
Increase of Transportation Facilities
Necessary to Secure Relief From
High Cost of Living May Thus Be
Provided For by the Railroads.
|
Washington, Nov. 28.—A new policy |
of government railroad regulation, |
based on constructive principles of |
helpfulness and encouragement instead
of upon principles of repression and
punishment. was urged by Alfred P.
Thom, counsel for the Railway Execu-
tives’ Advisory Committee, the first
witness on behalf of the railroads be-
fore the Newlands Joint Committee on
Interstate Commerce, which has insti-
tuted a general inquiry into the prob-
lems of railroad regulation.
“It is proposed by the joint resolu-
tion of Congress,” szid Mr. Thom, ‘to
go into a comprehensive study of the
whole subject of transportation. to
make a new assessment, after 29 years
of experiment, of its history, its pres-
ent conditions and its future needs.
The railroads accept the view that reg-
ulation is a permanent and enduring
part of government in America and
that the first duty of the carriers is to
the public. That duty is to afford
reasonable facilities on reasonable
terms and at reasonable rates, and this
must be done before any private inter-
ests can be considered.”
Certainty, Safety and Sufficiency.
Mr. Thom contended that the real in-
terest of the public is in being assured
of certainty, safety and sufficiency of
transportation facilities, rather than in
rates. The first consideration of the
public is to obtain transportation facili-
tles. What the cost is, is in reality a
second consideration. he said.
Mr. Thom proposed an increase of
transportation facilities as a method
of securing relief from the high cost
of living. ‘“There have been less than
1,000 miles of new railroad construct-
ed in the United States during the past
year,” he said, “less than in any year
since 1848, except the period of the
Civil War, and yet the cost of living is
daily advancing owing to a shortage of
supplies which might be remedied by
securing access to new areas of pro-
duction.
Credit Must Be Improved.
“This leads to the consideration as to
whether railroad credit is as good as
the public interest requires. It is im-
possible for railroads to earn enough
to supply the necessary new facilities
from current revenue, They must be
provided from credit. Investors can-
not be coerced, but must be attracted.”
Among the conditions affecting rail-
road credit which deter investors he
mentioned the following:
“First, Railroad revenues are not
controlled by investors, but are fixed |
, and limited by governmental authority
and not by one but by several govern-'
mental authorities, which do not recog- |
nize responsibility for assured results:
.0 investors and are uncoordinated.
“Second. Railroads cannot control!
and the government cannot and does
not limit the expense account. !
“Third. The present system of regu- |
lation is based on a policy of regulatio. |
and correction and not on a policy of |
helpfulness and encouragement.
“Fourth, The outstanding obligations |
of the railroads have already exceeded |
the financial rule of safety and involve |
a disproportionate amount of obliga-
tions bearing fixed charges.
“Fifth, The investor must accept a
subordinate obligation or security with
no assurance of a surplus of earnings
to support it.
“Sixth, Other competitive lines of in-
vestment present superior attractions.
“Seventh, The railroad business is
largely controlled by political instead
of business considerations.
Look Forward, Not Back.
“We may debate about what has
caused the present conditions,” said
Mr. Thom, “but we cannot debate about
what the people need. The President
has taken the view that we must look
forward in this matter and ‘make a
fresh assessment of circumstances’ in
order to deal helpfully and intelligent:
ly with the problem. Abuses are
no more prevalent in the railroad busi-
ness teday than in any other 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 on the 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
fail government ownership must fol-
low, and then all power of the states
over the railroads would disappear.
“Let us debate this question, then,
not upon any mere theory or jealousy
as to the distribution of governmental
power, but upon the large issue of
what the public interest requires in
respect of the assurance of adequate
transportation service.”
