The farms, mines and factories cannot increase their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products. Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity.

Without railroad expansion more engines, more cars, more tracks, more tei minals there can be little increase in production. But this country of ours is going to keep right on growing and the railroads must grow with it. To command in the investment markets fhe flow of new capital to expand railroad facilities ancj so increase production there must be public confidence in the future earning power of railroads. The nations business can grow only as fast as the railroads grow. Uliis adwliscment ii published by Hu i dissociation of Stailwwj ikecuth'ef Thou dentin information concerning the railroad urta.
