should freight rates be reduced at the expense of good service editorial in chicago tribune august 25 1923 entitled freight rates and commodity prices ead of the carne carnegie 0 ic institute at pittsburgh told a gathering of farmers that if the manufacturers of machinery clothing house furnishings and other commodities would reduce prices 2 per cent this would reduce the farmers expenses as much as a 25 per cent reduction in freight rates so would woula a reduction of I 1 per cent in interest on loans the trouble with that proposition is that the freight rates may be reduced possibly by political pressure commodities and interest not so readily but that is a consideration the farmers will ponder very carefully if they look to the future they maybe may be able to force a reduction in freig freight lit rates hy by using el their influence upon the machinery of regulation but if that reduces the efficiency of tran the immediate ad advantage vanta c will be swallowed up sooner or later probably sooner regulation unless it i is s constructive unless in the long run it builds up the railroads is not in the farmers interest As his political leaders do not discuss that much it is up to the farmer to look it up bp for himself just freight rates should be worked for but a rate that is inadequate to the tha carrier is not just to the farmer though lie he may think it is until he begins to pay the price of inadequate service A A railway rate reduction sufficient to enable a shipper to make anub a substantial saving on a freight bill would if made effective now impair toe tile
