So would a reduction of 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 rhe future. They may be able to force a reduction in freight rates by using their influence upon the machinery of regulation, regu-lation, but if that reduces the efficiency of transpor'ation the immediate advantage will be swallowed up sooner or later, probably sooner. Regulation, unless it is constructive, unless in the long run it bulb's up the railroads, is not in the farmer's interest, as nis political leaders do not discuss tnat much, it is up to the farmer to look it up for himse'f. Just freight rates should be worked for, but a x rate that is, inadequate to the carrier is not just to the farmer, though he may think it is until he be gins to pay the price of inadequate service." A railwa rati' reduction sufficient to enable a shipper to make a substantial saving on a freight bill would, if made effective now. impair the earning power of every western railroad and threaten the solvency of some. All that a railway buys, labor, coal, forest products, steel articles, etc., will range at peak prices, and rates cannot safely be lowered until there is a reduction in these costs. Ei-;hty-eight cents of the railway dollar is required for wages, fuel, supplies, taxes and rentals. A 10 per cent rate reduction would wipe out all profit and injure the credit of lines which have nothing saved sav-ed up for a rainy day The Government turned the railroads back to their owners in 1920 with an average operating deficit defic-it of J45.000.000 a month, which had been paid from the Federal treasury. Now. the railroads have no such recourse. The increase ill railroad freight rates is less than the increase in other prices. In Jenunry. 1923. the average freight rate of hev et teT. railroads was only 36 per ceit higher than m !9i3. while the average wholesale pno Jf all f products was 42 per cent higher and .he overage over-age whole sale price of all commodities 56 per cent higher. Fluctuations in prices for farm products cannot be laid at the door of the railroad, since between .Tune. 1 922. and June 1923. under the same transportation conditions, wheat declined 10 cents a bushel in price and corn improved 19 cents. The depressed condition of the farmer, and particularly the wheat grower, has been of great concern con-cern to the railways, as well as to the public, but happily all signs point to a material improvement.. "The estimated ineome of the farms of Ameri-afor 102: is a billion dollars in excess of their income in-come in 1!)22" (Advertisement. The Capper FarmPress. October S. 1923.) And the last annual report of the Interstate Commerce Commissin says: "Manifestly, existing rates are no longer interfering with the free flow of commerce as a whole." Give the railroads a chance. Don't lessen their usefulness by impairing their earning power They r.re spending more than a billion dollars this year not from earnings but of new money to put their properties in condition to better serve the public and to prevent car shortages this because they believe in the inherent fairness of the American people and their willingness to pay what good service ser-vice is worth. Starved railroads, like starved horss. cannot do good work. It is axiomatic that com-pennatory com-pennatory rates with good service are far preferable to cheaper rates with poor service. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. Omaha. Nebraska CRGR4Y November 1. 1913. ' President .. UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM...
