EVENING Railroads and Car Shortages San Francisco Chronicle. It see ma to be settled law that when a utility company undertake to serve a community, it assume the risk oft being able to render reasonable service at & reasonable price, and that If it fails either in service or price, no excuse will be accepted And this applies not only to carriers, but to water companies, telephone companies power companies, and, in fact, all public utilities. Four Utah coal companies haste complained to the Interstate Commerce Commission against seven railroad companies, seeking to recover 1426.000 as reparation' for failure to supply coal care as needed by the operators. The demand is for an order to compel the companies to Increase their equipment as well as for reparation for past failures. It is common knowledge that the railroads of the country have been and now are exerting ttepiaelref to the utmost to supply equipment. They have been and are limited by the capacity of plants to turn out equipment, and also by the indisposition of the public to provide new capital for railroads. Although car trust certificates are about the easlesr railroad securities to sell, as they must be retired out of mcome, the extent to which they can be eold depends on the amount of prior limit on income. Equipment must In the main be provided by capital. and the railroads can get no new capital. because those who could supply It refuse The to place their money In public control. carriers have also been hampered by the Inability of ships to receive traffic delivered default ft terminals for export which, innecessarof adequate storage capacity, has ily remained In the cars.

Among the Russian master minds, Vladimir Korolenko, the famous novelist, editor and publicist, now holds the place In the hearts of the people that Leo Tolstoy occupied. Korolenko has been conspicuously identified with the struggle for Russian freedom, has been known as a pacifist, and Is regarded as the "conscience" of Russia.
