OUR PUBLIC FORUM
VIII.—C. E. Schaff
On Railway Investments
President Wilson, recently referring to our railroal
problems, said in part: “They are indispensable t
our whole economic life and railway securities are *
the very heart of most investments, large and small, publ^
and private, by individuals and by institutions. * * l
There is no other interest so central to the business We]
fare of the country, as this. No doubt, in the light of th€
new day, with Its new understandings, the problem of th
railroads will also be met and dealt with in a sniro <
candor and justice.” yini 01
When the first oitizen of the land stresses the ironort
ance of understanding and dealing justly with the rail
roads, certainly the American plowman can venture imrli
a careful study of the problem. C. E. Schaff, president of the M K at
railway company, when asked to outline the relation of the public to ran
roads investments, said in part: * *'
“It may be said that the railroad world is encumbered with a lot nt
phantoms which exist only in the popular fancy. For instance because
there have been a few so-called ‘railroad magnates’ whose names have figured
prominently in finance, many people have come to believe that the railroad!
of the country are largely owned by a few rich men. As a matter of
nothing could be farther from the truth. Out of the colossal sum of twenty
billion dollars of American railroad securities, less than five per cent is now
or ever has been, in the hands of these men who have figured prominently
the newspaper headlines—while the other 95 per cent is in the hands of ove!
two million investor*, large and small, who in many instances have put th*
modest savings of a lifetime into these securities in order that thev might
lay away a competency for old age. When, therefore, the value of E
securities is depressed or perchance destroyed, the hardship is a hundred
fold greater upon thousands of every-day citizens, than upon the handful of
millionaires, good or bad, who have figured prominently in railroad circles
Hundreds of millions of dollars of the assets of our great life and fire
insurance companies, savings banks, trust companies, educational and fiduciary
institutions are invested In railroad bonds—and the moment, therefore that
ehLf°Und?eIS* of *hefe bonds is called into question the financial solidity of
/*d institutions directly affecting the welfare of millions of policy
holders and bank depositors—is gravely menaced. During the last several
K°nf of dollars representing depreciated values, have beer!
charged off the books of concerns like those enumerated above. American
ThL^a™nHaVe HeCfflm«e a VlJal part of the very woof and fabric of nation
in^the tend d efflciency is absolutely essential to the smallest community
In blindly striking at the railroads our blows fall not merely upon thou
sands who have committed no wrong, but, in the last analysis, upon ourselve!
We should remember how interdependent we have come to be in this mighty
republic of ours that each is in truth become more and more his brother’s
keeper, and that we need to act and think circumspectly,- lest in our mistaken
zeal we destroy those who, like ourselves, need whatever of this world’!
goods the toil and sweat of years has bequeathed to them.”
