Fperial Ditpatch to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, March O.-When the
rftads wont back to their owners from
tho government on March 1 they were
slight'y worse off in almost every as
pect of finance and credit than when
they were taken over by the govern?
ment iwenty-six months carlier. The
value of their securities was. less, tho
eurre^* opcrating capital was less, tho
physi :al eondition was poorer and the
imouii: and value of supplies on hand
were ali o less. Moreovcr, they face
hamporing legislation of one kind or
anotl sr :n at least thirty of the forty
eijrht states.
It cannot fairly be charged that
thnse 'Oiditions aro the re.sult of Fed1
eral operation, though many of them
are, :.t least in part., tho outcome of
tho pviicies pursued by the government
foi* the last two decades. The change
from the old policy, shown in the
trans:i>rtation act, was refiectod in a
sharp jump in railroad securities. The
shortr.;re of pupplics on hand is in large

] part the outcome of market conditions,
and the docline in operating capital
is inevitable under the law. But these
wenkncsses of finance, credit and so on,
j remain as a handicap on tho roads in
1 their attempts to bring their service
i up to tho needs of the country.
Staggertrtg Amount Owed ? i
On the other hand, the government
' still owes the roads a staggering
amount. It was estimated, by Director
! General Hines early in February at
! $636,322,885, and is likely to be greater
rather than les3. The bulk of thia is
j the shortage in payments on the stand
I ard guarantce which was fixed by law
: for government operation. The gov
! ernment has actually paid over to the
1 roads little more than enough to moet
i thoir stunding charges. All this will
: be available when the accounts are
j elcared and tho government pays up.
j To judge by past records of tho gov
^ ernment in settling accounts, however,
j this is not likely to be soon.
The railroads also will claim hun
| dreds of milliona for the deterioration
j of the right of way, structures and
i equipment which they allege has taken
1 place under the government. They do
j not know themselves how much this
i amounts to, and all such claims will
? have to bc adjudicated at length, with
the strong possibility of a test case
; carried up to the Supreme Court. So
: these bills can hardly be counted of
: great value as an immediate asset.
When the government took over the
; roads it acquircd with them most of
; their current assets, though some of
| the lines held out their operating cash
balance. The government got in all
i $351,091,391 in money, and $167,267,
I 141 in drafts, loans and deposita of
: various kinds. It also got materials
and supplie3 worth $604,708,276 at tho
current prices, which it undertook to
return equal in quantity and quaiity,
: not in money value. The total of these
assets was $1,023,066,811. ln addition
it. took over ihe cash balnnces in the
hands of agents, conductors, etc. The
cxact amount of these last is not
? known, but it was in tho neighborhood
! of $145,000,000.
Big Sums Held ln Trnst
; Tho amount that goes back to the
I roads is very different. It has not yet
j been decided, but apparently they do
, not get their cash back at present, as
there is no provision either in the law
or the contracts betwucn the roads
i and the railroad administration for
this. Of course, they get it back in
? tho final accounting, whenever that
j >nay take place.
j ^ The roads do get $215,000,000 in the
' handr, of, the Federal treasurerr,
; Hcattercc! about the country, and
about $95,000,000 from conductors
I and agents. The decrease of $50,
; OHO,000 in this latter amount as com
r pared to 1917 is due to tho fact
: that the auditors are keeping more
j closely up with their work than they
' were then.
The exact amount of Bupplies that
I were turncd back will not be known
i until inventories nre completed. On
, October 81, 1919, these supplies were
I estimated at $575,000,000, and they are
I believed to havo fallen lower since
j that date. But the increase in prices
i fiince January 1, 1918, has been such
: that the $504,000,000 worth of sup
: plies, then taken over, would bc worth
! in the neighborhood of $300,000,000 to?
day, so that there is a shortage of
something over $200,000,000.
These deficits are partly offset by a
; provision in the transportation act

you who are cheered by the cup when it is

TETLEY'S TEA
Makes Good Tea a Certain ty
But my word, if you'd been blending tea for
over a hundred years as we have, you'd
know how to do it f
I under which tha railroad administra
i tion may advance to each road an
i amount equal to one twenty-f ourth of its
! operating expcnses for the year 1919.
: There was an appropriation of $200,
? 000,000 to care for $hia. Tha one twen?
ty-f ourth would amount to around
$186,000,000. and if nono of tbe carriers
! had any other cash assets. the whole
1 woujd practically be called for. But
it is likely that some of the stronger
roads, which are at present showing
an operating surplus, will not ask their
,share.
Same Guaranteed Income
For immediate credit, of course, the
roads are assured of tbe sanie stanitf
' ard guaranteed income which they
have been getting for the last twenty
slx months, and they can borrow
against thi- if need arises, with the
: government as security. When that
; guarantce expires, on Septembcr 1,
i then they will have as worklng capl
j tal only the current assets turncd
over by tho government, which are be
' low those of December 81, 1917, plus
such sums as may have been paid in
final accounting by the railroad ad?
ministration, which probably will bo
small.
I If any Bucceed in making more than
the guarantee during tho coming six
< months the government will take it.
| So this review practically states the
j financial situation on which their credit
will be based when they are left with?
out government support.
What this credit situation will be,
! except as it is modified by tho hopes
; of greater income which will be based
; on rate increases ordered by the In
| terstate Commerce Commission dur?
ing that time, is shown by the position
of tho railroad securities in the mar?
ket.
Beaides theso financial difflculties ?
which face the roads in their present
circumstances, there are certain politi
co-legal troubles looming on tho hori
zon.
Another form of troublo looms up in
the "short train" bills which have
been introduced into at least thirty
legislatures. Ono of the biggest rail?
road savings of recent years nas been
in lengthening the trains, and many
roads have spent millions in puttlng in
engines which would handle tho in?
creased loads. Recently the labor
unions have started propaganda to stop
this practico and these bills are tho
result.
In the same class are the "full crew"
bills, some of which had become law
before 1917, but were promptly ignored
by the government when it took con
trol. They are now in effect again,
and bills like them are pending in sev?
eral states. All of these, of course,
add to tho cost of operation and
weaken the roads' position.
The position of the weaker railroads
and the deficits which made them
tcchnically bankrupt in 1919 will
be shown in the next article.
Inspectors Favor Law
To Make Rank Permanent
Measure Would Permit More
Fearless Performance of
Duties, They Say
From a Staff Correnvor4ent
ALBANY, March 9.?New York City
police officers before the Assembly cit?
ies committee this afternoon tirged fa
vcrable action on the Doherty bill, mak?
ing police inspector a permanent rank
and protected by the Civil Service the
same as the other ranks in the police
service. The inspector is tho only of?
flcer in tho Police Department whose
position is temporary and who can be
discharged or demoted with every in
coming administration or new polico
commissioner. Several inspectors told
the committee that under such circum?
stances it waa difficult for them fear
lessly and conscientiously to perform
their duties.
"The inspectors," said Inspector Will?
iam F. Fennelly, "are held responsible
for tho enforcement of the gambling
laws. In doing so they often incur
tho displeasure of influential persons
v/ho will stop at nothing to get revenge.
If an inspector had the same protection
as other police officers it would give
him greater courage to see that those
laws were not violated."
Inspector Fennelly said that the bill
had the approval of Police Commis?
sioner Enright. He read a letter from
Commissioner Enright, saying that the
present law was in violation of the Civii
Service principle and with every prin?
ciple of good discipline.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ed?
ward J. McGoldrick corroborated Fen
nclly's statements. Inspector Dominick
Henry, president of tho Inspectors, Cap
tains and Sergeants Association, said
that Commissioner Bingham, who ob
tained passage of the present law,
had said later it was a mistake.

proved bv Youngstown Council
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, March 9.?-Un?
married men who pay no municipal
taxes may be taxed at a rate of about
20 cents a month. A measure includ?

ably by the City Council and ls being
considered by the Mayor's advisory

It is estimated that such a tax will
net the city $19,200 annually.
Bar Report Omits
Ford and Hendrick
In Indorsing Judges
Association Members Defer
Action After Wrangle
in Which Two Jurists
Are Given Much Praisc
Failure of the judiciary committee
of the Bar Association, ln its report
on Supreme Court Justices whoeo
terms explre December 81, to cite Jus
tices Feter A. Hendrick and John Ford
in the list of thoae deemed worthy of
reelection, was tho Inspirntion of
lengthy verbal atrife at the meeting
of the association last evening.
Followlng the introduction of the
report, resolutions wero proposed ap
proving it. Immediately objectiona
came from all aidea of the room,
coupled with questions why Justices
Ford and Hendrick had been oniitted.
Vigorous diecusslon termlnated when
John B. Stanchfield proposed that the
matter bo laid over until May 11, when
tho State Bar Association meets. Thia
motion was adopted.
Judge Francis M. Scott started the
wordy combat by offerlng a resolution
acccpting it in the name of tho associ?
ation. He was interrupted.
"Why doeBn't the ,xeport support
Hcndick and Ford?" members shouted,
and ftnally forced Judge Scott to pause.
"The committee ls not prepared at
this time to give its reasons," he re
plied. Adoption of the resolution was
opposed heatcdly by John DeWitt
Warner.
"A judge's roputatlon ln tho com
munity is immeasurably Important to
him," he said. "The adoption of thia
resolution at this time will hurt Jus?
tices Ford and Hendrick. It is only
decent courtesy and justice that tha
judiciary committee be called on to
justify such grave action.
"There are 2,400 members of thia
association and only 160 aro present.
These few ara asked to put the seal of
discredit on two members of the asso?
ciation who have served faithfully on
the bench for fourteen .years."
Further discussion followed, and then
Mr. Stanchfield said that Justice Ford
had made gaod on the bench and that
hia record in the Appellate Division
proved it. He said that he always had
been fair and courteous and that this
also was true of Justice Hendrick.
"I ask," said he, "that thia be put
over to May 11 out of ordinary jus?
tice to two men who have rendered
faithful judicial service." This motion
was adopted.
The members of the bench indorsed
by the judiciary committee were Su?
preme Court Justices Erlanger, Gieg
erich, Guy and Platzek, and Judges
of General Sessioii3 C. T. Crain and
Otto Rosalskv.
