The Wyoming senator asserted to hi colleagues that the railroads are the only Industry a profit by federal law, that guaranteed while the railroads have thla guarantee the farmers are going Into bankruptcy; mining Is largely depressed.

In this situation, la to promote the return of what may be deemed normal traffic, and anything which will help toward this end la greatly to their benefit. So far as a tendency downward In their rates can be Induced, and so far as th reductions In wage and prlc, which have already been mad effective, cafi be converted Into rat reductions, wa are assured that th full return of prosperity will be hastened for both Industry ana labor. Th carriers have, ws feel, themselves manifested a realization of this fact In th substantial reductions In raUa. which time to tlm lit recent months they hav made- It Is clear from th decision that the commission does not regard high freight rate as th sol or th primary cause of th distress f agriculture. Discussing the situation of th farmers, the commission in part says Th farmer ar Buffering from sever readjustments and, generally apak-lnar operating at a lose dr without profit. This distressing situation U attributed to acut deflation of farm prices and In some Instance to drought, low yields, or crop failureswo In determining th causes, obviously must bear la mind th world-wid- e disturbances deflations restriction of credits end purchasing power, and other elements of the post-wreadjustment now In progress To an extent th diatrees may be considered as aggravated by th holding of large surpluce from last years crops for higher prices, to th Inability to move them because of car shortages, to land speculation, to free spending during the war, or to failure to foresee Inevitable readlustment.

Oh th other hand, th evidence shows with equal clarity that respondents are likewise suffering from financial depression and that thalr net earning hav been far below the standard which has been fixed by th law, although th tendency la now upward. It becomes necessary to consider whetherorat reductions may be made on grain, grain products and hay In western and mountaln-Pa-cifi- c territory which will be fair and lawful, so far as th carriers are concerned. Tho purpose of section ll-was undoubtedly to better stabilise the credit of railroads, reassure investors and attract capital to "th railroad Industry. It la plainly our duty to do everything In our power to carry out thla purpose. The Increase of 1320 were Intended to gtv the th carrier specified return, and no doubt they would have done so If the volume of traffic had remained normal Instead, It fell off sharply, and net earnings failed by a considerable margin to reach th desired mark. Nevertheless, when It became apparent that this would be th res, carrier and shippers silk agreed that It was sot our duty, under to raise rates to still higher section IS-levels To have don this would clearly hav been a vein thing, harmful alike to the country and to the carriers The rate adjustment cannot with advantage be made dependent upon fluctuations in t , traffic. It la also to b noted that the duty cast upon ua by section Is a continuing duty and look to tbs future. It does not constitute a guarantee to th carriers, nor Is the obligation cumulative We are not restricted by past or present statics of operation and earnings. What is contemplated by the law is that In this exercise of our power th result shall reflect our best judgment as to th basis which may reasonably be expected for th future to yield th prescribed return 'The conditions with which w are called upon to deal are extraordinary and Bine are th aftermath of unique. they a world catastrophe. The- sufferings of the western farmers may be ascribed to that fact. The prostration of agriculture In thla country la the product of world wide force. The high level of freight rates haa been an obvious and tangible circumstance which haa quit naturally been a target of dissatisfaction, but w ar not persuaded that It has been more than a minor factor In bringing about distress. The Important thing at present. Is not the sourco of th dlseoao but the means of recovery. Whatever part freight rates may have played at the outset, many qualified to form an opinion enter-tai- n the view that the present level of these rates Is ons of tho obstacles in the way of returning prosperity and likewise on of th obstacles to sub stantlate reduction In th cost of living.
