Finley comments on southern railroad fares and travel patterns
President Finley of the Southern argues against operating long term passenger rates as low as 3 cents per mile in the south. He contrasts 2 cent rates in Ohio, cites lower population density and the traveling habits of both white and black populations, and notes a poorer southern demographic, including cotton mill workers and sharecroppers, affecting revenue and market viability. The speech emphasizes regional density, income, and travel behavior shaping rate viability.
