SEVERE FIGHT WILL BE LARGE
CANADIAN RAILWAY SITUATION
APITAL
Montreal Financial Times Deals With
A Serious Question That Is Now
Before The Country With Respect
To Railway Investments
Tlie argument was projected in
the lirst of this series of articles
that, because of the rising cost of
living which constantly confront*
them, Canadian railroads are faced
Willi another cause for disriuiot in
the obvious difficulty of making railroad investment sufficiently attractive for capital, says the Montreal
Financial Times of April 10. Thai it
is likely to prove a serious handicap
to the future of the Dominion in
view of the fact Ihat vast areas yet
remain unsettled and untapped by
railroads will possibly not be gainsaid. Existing railroads, moreover,
for the .-a ice of extensions, onie moments nnd other causes, will be required to make, from time to time,
large expenditures on capital account. Under normal conditions it
is not unreasonable to suppose Ihat
existing systems musl necessarily expand with .the country. On the other

With It.
At  the   City   Hall  yesterday    fore-
f.
noon there was a conference held at
which representatives of various interests connected with the fishing industry as well as members of the
Council and others were present. The
idea was to discuss the proposition
that has been put forward in connection with the proposed city
wharf nt Seal Cove for handling fish
from i lie Independent fishermen that
may come lo the city. Aid. Edge
presided as chairman of the special
committee of the Council that is
charged with this work,

prominently Identified with the proposal, was present und was asked to
discuss il very fully und thus allow

hand, the commerce of the country
cannot expand normally without ui-
equate railroad facilities.
Tiie story 'of the combined railroads of the Dominion in tlie past
forty years has been one of steady
growth, as shown by statements of
earnings. The aggregate gross earn
ings of all the systems in the Dominion in I ST.". was $19,470,539".
Last year aggregate gross earnings
amounted to $243,083,539. The ascent from the lower figure to the
higher has not been one of sudden
leaps, but rather a period of steady
growth as that of the infant merging into youth. Between the two
figures half of the romance of the
Dominion could be written.

London, April 24.—The Canadians

made plainly evident thai mere was
a necessity for some more exact information along certain lines pertaining to the Independent fishermen
than is at present known locally.
Tiie proposal that lias been made to
construct a public wharf for the purpose of assisting tlie industry seems
to be favorably received by most of
tbe people that have in view tlie advancing of this as a Iisbing porl. At
the same time it was made evident
that there was some additional informal ion that might well be made
available.' The proposal for a public
wharf along the lines suggested has
been largely the result of careful in-

noi censed to exist. The prospect
seems rather to be that the expansion of agriculture nnd commerce oi
the past forty years in Canada will
be dwarfed by comparison with the
expansion of the next forty years.
A good deal will depend on the
railroads. If agriculture and commerce expand, as undoubtedly they
will, it seeins reasonable to suppose
that the railroads will expand also.
Expansion of railroad systems will
necessitate tbe raising of additional
capital, lt has been shown in a previous article that while gross earnings have increased the ratio of operating exj . "• to gross earnings
lias increased out of all proportion.

to market new securities they are
uoahle to do so except at suhstanti-
ally higher interest rates.
' This condition does not apply to
Canadian railroads alone. Tho great
carrying roads of the Eastern States
have felt tlie situation acutely of
late years anil the outcome was just
such a petition to the Interstate
Commission, the counterpart of the
Dominion Railway Commission, as
Canadian railroads are now presenting^ tlie latter body. The American petition, it might he remarked
in passing, was granted.
The (aot is, railroads have been
forced of recent years to meet competition in the investment markets
from many sources; from Government issues, public utility issues and
industrial issues. The brief on' behalf of the Eastern roads of the
United States, prepared by eminent
counsel, contained many truthful
and logical deductions on the subject
of railroad investments which are
entirely applicable lo conditions as
they exist in Canada today.
Increasing Load  of    Fixed  Charges..
Investors have noi ml with concern,
it was pointed out, the constantly
increasing proportion of outstanding
capital obligations represented by
bond issues and short-term notes,
as compared with the decreasing
proportion of capital stock, ln other
words, he relative increase of creditors and decreases in the number nf
partners Is due to the failure of additional capital Invested in recent
years to earn an adequate return.
Few of the railroads are able to issue prior lien obligations and their
existing mortgages have been closed
and cover not only their original
railroads and other property, but
also that subseuuenlyt acquired.
They are compelled therefore to issue junior securities which are only
marketed at lower prices and a corresponding higher interest basis.
Under these conditions, ii  is urged, a  railroad  which  cannot adjust
rati s to    . !( I   rlsin . c.     - and thereby suffei  .. loss in relal, e n< I earnings  is  doubly  , ii Bt    ii

factors in. 11 ase the cost of production and in most entei pi i.e.- arc mel
wiih an increase In the selling pi^ie
of the product—a solution to the difficulty not permitted to Canadian
railroads.
Purchasing Power of the Dollar.
What may be the underlying causes of the decrease in tlie value of
money il is not proposed lo discuss
here at length. To die enormous increase in the production of gold, to
the expansion of bank credits, to the
drift of population to the cities or
lo any combinations of these and
other diverse agencies, writers on
economics are accustomed to attribute the decline in the purcll
power of the dollar. Bul w i

Fare to face with a combination of
circumstances of this nature railroads naturally seek to bring about
a re-adjustment. The int....In.'lion of
efficiency methods—the getting for a
dollar all that can be got for that
dollar—lias helped, to a certain extent, to ameliorate conditions, but
has been found to fall a long way
abort of offsetting the increi
cost ratio.
The Only Solution.
Tiie most natural solution, the
most   logical  solution  and  the solu-
SaBBMal
ed is the  increasing of the
the only commodity most   railroads
have to sell, viz., transportation.

put the situation concisely,
Canadian railroads at the present
time must pay more for the use of
capital, musl pay more for the use
of labor, must pay more for the material used in the maintenance of an
efficient railroad system, but must
not charge more than they did yean
ago for performing the same amount
of service.

Germany alone disputed tliis order
of succession. Thai is why the world
is at war today. But Germany cannot conquer the British Empire; she
Is breaking her nails against a rock.
Therefore to that empire will belong
tlle Twentieth Century, and to Russia when she has awakened the intelligence of her peasant millions
and developed her resources, will
surely belong the twenty-first. Lot
us both recognize Ibis and live at
peace.
We have in truth, more in common with Russians than with any
oilier nation. We are, for instance,
obstinate and inconsistent; so are
ihey. If we taunt them with sticking to tlieir old calendar, whicli is
thirteen days behind everyone else's,
they can point In replj to our pigheaded .'ind far more inconvenient
retention of peculiar measure of
money and weight and length, in
place of the decimal system used by
everyone else. When we complain
that their alphabet has thirty-six letters in it their retort is: "it enables
us to spell as we pronounce, whereas your spelling and pronunciation
are not related at all!" Englishmen
who are rash enough to pity Rtts-
seinns because they "lack political
freedom" arc reminded that there is
no Mrs. Grundy in Russia to check
.personal freedom with a far more
galling bond.
No Russian who knows the world
denies that bis country is behind the
other greal powers both in the common level of Intelligence and In mechanical conveniences, This has advantages, however. II Is annoying

At first the intention of the company was lo have the pipe lines
placed underground from the wharf
to the storage quarters. Before the
work was well slarted a change in
the plans was made. II was felt
that should anything go wrong with
the pipes after the tracks were all in
place (here might be interference
wiih the railway's plans while the
work was being repaired. A change
was then decided upon and the underground route was abandoned.     .
Tbe new arrangement lends itself
to ready repairs at any lime that
Ibe joints may give. The inspection
of tlie line al all limes is made
simple also.
The intention of the company
when the work is done is to serve
the whole northern coast, as well as
Alaska and the Yukon, from here.
Along the line of the O. T. P. as far
east as Edmonton at least, the whole
country will be served from Iliis depot. Prince Rupert becomes at once
one of the most important centres
in the oil trade with the completion
of the works here in tbe next few-
weeks.
