Show THE RELATION OF RAILROAD motive power and equipment to move RATES TO GENERAL BUSINESS. To the Business Man: No mat- ter bow objectionable an advance In freight rates may be to us personally, we must recognize- that an Improvement In general business la dependent on - a betterment of operating and financial conditions of the railroads. That the operating results are most unsatisfactory la readily seen by the latest INTER STATE COMMERCE COMMISSION reports, which show that for the nine months ended April lstv 1910j eleven railroad systems, all West and North of a line drawn from - Chicago to St. Louis, compared with the same roads for the same period In the previous year, had their ' gross earnings increased about $50,000,000.00, while their net earnings showed a decrease of $3,500,000.00, and for the month of March, on the same comparison, they show an Increase of $7,000,- 000. 00 In gross and a decrease of $965,000.00 In net earnings.' Attention Is called to the fact that the wage increases, (except a small amount,) were not in force during this period, and - from now on these will greatly increase the operating cost. . These name railroads had their taxes increased over the previous year and have to pay $2,500,000.00, or 14 higher rales of Interest on their loans. These roads covering the most pros perous part of the country may be con eldered representative of general rail road conditions. During the past three years of poor business, railroad expenditures for malntalnance were necessarily at the lowest point, and in consequence their motive power equipment and tracks now 'demand a greater proportion of operating expense. No provision has been or 1b being made for the growing , demands of the country, and as trans portatlon is the backbone of business, its weakness or Inefficiency cripples every other condition; because all prod ucts are valuable in the ratio wiih which their accessibility to the con uinlng market' It is most important to the shipper. . that railroads, at all times are fully equipped to take care of an Increase of his business.
