Santa Fe System Lines have made such a comparison, and you be interested in the result: The Santa Fe System sells transportation only, but buys steel, fuel, rubber and all kinds of building and construction material; and is a very large of labor. The Santa Fe System received in 1915, $1.45 for hauling the same amount weight the same distance that it reached $1.00 for in 1915, and $1.60 for being a passenger the same distance received $1.00 for in 1915. Or, coming freight and passenger, it received $0 for the same service it received $1.00 in 1915; the increase being 50 per cent. The Santa Fe System paid $2.11 for the same quantity of fuel that $1.00 paid for in 1915; $1.77 for the same quantity of materials and supplies; other than fuel, that $1.00 paid for in 1915; $2.22 for the same number of hours of labor worked in 1922 as $1.00 paid for in 1915. Aggregating all operating expenses, it paid in 1922, $2.05 for the same number of hours worked and same quantity of materials and supplies as it paid $1.00 for in 1915: It paid $2.90 in taxes in 1922 for every $1.00 paid in 1915; Santa Fe System employees received an average annual compensation in 1922 of $1.81 for every $1.00 received in 1915, and the cost of living of such employes was $1.62½ in 1922 for every $1.00 in 1915. Light rates and passenger fares cannot be reduced until taxes and the cost of operation are reduced. Of operation cannot be substantially reduced until the price of labor and material is reduced. And the price of labor and material cannot be reduced the cost of living is reduced. W. B.
