The margin within which they are permitted lo earn a return upon their investment or to offer inducements to attract new capital for extensions and betterments Is extremely limited However much the rnilroads mlrht desire, therefo'o, to reduce their charges in times of depression, it will le perceived that the limitations ur rounding their tion do not permit them to give effect lo broad and elastic policies which might very properly govern other lines of business not thus restricted. It has been urged upon the rail roads that reduction In rates will ritimulato traffic and that Increased traffic will protect the carriers from the loss Incident to a reduction In rates.

The railroad managements cannot disguise from themselves that this auggestion Is merely conjectural and that an adverse result of the experiment would be disastroua not only to the railroads, but to the vifcreo; supreme need Is adequate TELLING TIME.
