Rates Rates' and Commodity Prices The he head 1 of the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburg told a a. gathering of farmers that if the tha manufacturers o of ot machinery clothing house furnishings and other commodities would reduce prices 2 per cent this would reduce the farmers farmer's expenses e as much as a 25 per cent reduction reduction reduction tion In freight rates So would a a. reduction of 1 l per cent In interest on loans The trouble with that proposition is that the tho freight rates may b be reduced reduced possibly possibly by political pressure commodities and Interest not so readily But that Is a consideration the farmers will ponder very carefully If it they look to the tha future They may be able to force a reduction in freight rates by using their Influence upon the machinery or of regulation but if it that reduces the efficiency of transportation the immediate immediate immediate imme imme- diate advantage will be swallowed up sooner or later probably sooner Regulation unless it is constructive unless in the long run it builds up the railroads is pot in the farmers farmer's interest A As his political leaders do not discuss that much it is up to the farmer to look It up for himself himsel Just freight rates should be worked fot but a rate that is Inadequate to the carrier Is not just to the farmer though he may think it is until he begins to pay the price of Inadequate service A railway rate reduction sufficient to enable a a. shipper to make a 13 substantial saving saving saying sav say ing on ona na a freight bill would if made effective now impair the earning power of every western vestern railroad and threaten the solvency of some All that a railway buys labor buys labor coal forest products steel articles etc still range at peak prices I and rates cannot safely be lowered until there is a 13 i. i reduction in these costs Eighty-eight Eighty cents of the railway dollar is required for wages fuel supplies taxes and rentals A 10 to per cent rate reduction would wipe out all profit and injure the credit of lines which have nothing saved up for a 13 rainy day The Government turned the railroads back to their owners in 1920 with an in average operating deficit of a month which had been paid from the Federal treasury Now the railroads have no such recourse The increase in railroad freight rates is less than the increase in other prices In January 1923 the average freight rate of the western railroads was only 36 per cent higher than in m 1913 while the average wholesale price of f all ajl ll farm products was 42 per cent higher and the average wholesale price of all commodities com com- 56 per cent higher Fluctuations in ill prices Tor br farm products oa cannot be laid at the door of the railroad railroad rail rail- road since between June 1922 and June 1923 under the same transportation I I conditions wheat declined 10 cents a bushel in price and corn com improved 19 I ce cents ii ts The depressed condition of the tile farmer and particularly the wheat grower has been of great concern to the railways as well as to the public but happily all signs point to a material improvement The estimated income of the farms of America for 1923 is a billion dollars in excess of their income in 1922 Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Adver Adver- The Tile Capper Farm Press October 8 1923 And the last annual report of the Interstate Commerce Commission says Manifestly existing rates are no longer interfering with the free flow of commerce commerce com corn merce as a whole Give the railroads a chance Dont Don't lessen their usefulness by impairing their earning power They are spending more than a billion dollars this year not from earnings but bf f new money to put their properties in condition to better serve the public and to prevent car shortages this shortages this because they believe in the thc in inherent inherent in- in I her herent nt fairness of the American people and their willingness ss to pay what hat good service is worth Starved railroads like starved horses cannot do good work It Itis Itis itis is axiomatic that compensatory rates with good service are far preferable to cheaper rates with poor service Constructive suggestions are always welcome Omaha Nebraska C.
