It has been In the President's mind for some time that theyinterest pay- ments being made by the rallroads were entirely too high. He has fre- quently commented to friends that whenever a bond Issue is made, by a raliroad or any other business, provi sion should be made for an annual curtaliment of that loan, so that at the end of a given number of years the bonds could be retired from the sinking fund. Frequently, he has point. ed out, the bonds are still part of the road's capital debt, and adding sharp ly to its fixed charges, when the Im provement for which they were Issued has long since been worn out and re placed, usually by another bond Issue, The original idea of the administra. tion was to use the Missourl Pacific as a yard stick In cutting down the capital structures of the rallroads. The plan was to reorganize this railroad, always a weak sister, though always prominent as an important link In first this and then that transcontinental line, in such fashion that it could earn several times fixed charges, and hence sell bonds on a 3 to 4 per cent basis, its Actual figures as to amount of bonds and Interest are so complicated, with the Missouri Pacific and the New Haven, and for that matter with raliroads, that HHiustrations would take a column to explain. Roosevelt idea liustrated simply. all ut here is the Suppose a railroad had £500.000.000 bonds outstanding, at an average interest rate of Some rall- road bonds bear as low as 4 per cent, of 8 per cent, and some as high as 7 average is not there per cent, but far from 6 per are more of the than of the the cent becanse higher rate bonds rate. To Hlustrate In this illustration, the fixed charges of the road, so far as bond Interest is concerned, would be $£30,000000 a year, Taxes and this bond Interest as well, of course, as all operating expenses must be paid before anything can be given the stockholders. In addition, every time some of the bonds fall dae, the raliroad has a terrible time float- ing a new Issue even If it Is a fairly prosperous road, and usually has to pay handsome bankers’ commissions for placing the new bonds, lower * Now suppose, further, that the road after paying operating expenses and taxes, has fost 220.000.0000 left over, on the average, bond Interest. Which actually is little better than the case the Missouri Pacific, and a than the case of the New for of jittle worse Haven. The New Deal plan would be for this mythical road to go through re ceivership, as the New Haven is about to do, and take advantage of Section 7i(h) of the bankruptcy act. When It emerges, It might have a total capital debt In honds of £400.000000, Lut on a 33% per cent basis This would make fts annual bond interest bill $14.000.. 000 instead of $30.000.000. As the av. erage earnings applicable to bond In terest would be $8.000.000 in excess of this, however, the road could expect the lower Interest rate. But Instead of the £6.000,000 in addition being paid in dividends, a sizable fraction of it, say £5.000000, would be used to retire bonds every year. The stockholders would be actually better off than they were before. In the illustration given, there would probably be no dividends for some time after the reorganization. But the property in which they have an equity would be at least on the road to a better situation. Whereas If reorgan fzed under the old tooth and claw method, they would probably get noth. ing. The same sort of plan has been worked rather successfully on non-rail. road corporations, though of course the most important new phase of the jaw is that it prevents such reorgani- curity holders demanding more than their share. President Roosevelt Is expected to practices protecting the names of ex- porters of war supplies from publicity should be modified, thus applying the “pitiless publicity™ so much talked about by his former chief, Woodrow Wilson, to the present situation, Under the present practice, ship manifests are held confidential, If such a request is made by the exporter, Even where publicity Is allowed, the pame of the exporter is not made public. Thus it was impossible for re porters In New York recently to be sure which of the oll companies had made very large shipments of oll to Italy. Treasury officials are considering permitting publication by newspapers of every detall as to exports. Natur. ally, they will not do so If the State THE CENTRE REPOR department objects, and conversations on this point are now proceeding. OM. cials of both departments, as they ad- mit In private conversations—though, of course, they decline to be quoted | favor such publicity, and it Is their confident expectation that the Presi dent will agree with them. Such a change of course would have no legal effect in deterring anyone who wished to ship such war supplies as are not banned by the President's proc amation, The reason the oll compa- nies and shippers of other war sup- plies are opposed to any change, and wish to retain the present protective secrecy, is that they fear a boycott of their products by individuals who would resent what they would regard as “war profiteering.” It is increasingly manifest that the sentiment of the country was strongly behind the action already taken by the President, and that it would favor go- ing even further—save where the pocketbook of Individual sections might be affected. This is realized by the companies now selling oll to Italy, and those selling metal which, while not actually ammunition, can be made into ammunition by very simple proe- esses once It reaches Italian work- shops. Limit Motor Speed Automobile manufacturers are not talking about it, publicly, but they realize a very strong tendency which may force limitation of the possible speed of automobiles. Motor-car mak- ers discussed the situation very seri ously at a recent meeting in New York, Of course they are prepared to fight guch legislation, either by the states or the federal government, but the vice president of one of the big com. panies admitted to friends here within the last few days that the motor In dustry would not be surprised to see such legislation very widespread with. in two years, In the face of advertisements that new models will “crowd 100 miles an hour,” most of the present considera tion of the problem by Its advocation is aimed at restriction to speeds pot exceeding 60 miles an hour. Some of the extremists would go as low as 45, the speed limit on the open road in a good many states, The idea suggested would be to prohibit the operation in a given state of a car capable of run ning in excess of a given miles per hour, number of {f only one large state, or any siate regard] a large number of cars, should impose such a restriction, on all motor manufacturers very serious indeed. For such a law as Is being advocated would not permit the mere addition some such simple governor controlling the number of rev. olutions as was used by some cautious car owners In the early days, for the would-be reformers are determined that it must be something which eannot be taken off. It would have to be, to comply with their ideas, a bulit-in part {f the motor, ess of size, whose citizens buy he effect would be of Liquor Regulations Reports from the distillers all over | the country indicate that there will be no important opposition to the new regulations which Administrator Frank lin C. Hoyt has suggested for labeling liquor.” It is already virtually decided that some administrative changes will Le asked, but only one change in the proposed regulations will be recom. mended that is of any interest to liquor purchasers. That Is the desire for postponement for a month, or two months at most, of the dates on which the new reguia- tions go into effect. As at present proposed, after Jano ary 1 next no whiskey can be branded as “straight” unless it has been aged in charred oak casks for at least one year. After June 30 next no whiskey can be labeled “straight” unless it has been similarly aged for 18 months, and after January 1, 1037, for two years The industry would like to mark up these three dates. especially the first one. But as to the general dea, there is very little dissent. It Is gen erally recognized that conditions have changed, with the passage of time since repeal, which justify the higher standards that the proposed Hoyt reg- ulations set up. : Aw to blended whiskey, the resirie tions would merely be that not Jess than 20 per cent of any whiskey marked “blend” should conform to the require | ments for “straight” whiskey--that is | that after January 1 next this propor tion of straight whiskey must be used, | end that it must have been aged In charred casks for one full year, after | June 30 it must be 18 months old, and | after January 1, 1937, It must be two | years old. i Must Be Labeled Another restriction which is generally approved requires that the amount of neutral spirits, or alcohol, used in biended whiskey must be stated, and also that it must be plainly labeled | that such neutral spirits were pro- | duced from grain, or molasses, or whatever, . Actually very little neutral spirits made from molasses or other than grain bases is now used In blending whiskey and gin. In the early days of repeal one of the largest producers, in an eastern city, used almost ex: clusively neutral spirits made from mo. | lasses. There Is not alleged to be any question that such neutral spirits are any more harmful than those made from grain. Actually the two prod nets are not different chemically, It is just a question of taste. For rea- sons which flabbergast the chemist al cohol produced from grain seems to make a smoother blend than alcohol of the same chemieal content made from molasses. Copyright.
