Editorial in Chicago Tribune, August 25, 1923, entitled "Freight Rates and Commodity Prices:" The head of the Carnogie Institute at Pittsburgh told a gathering of farmers that if the manufacturers of machinery, clothing, house furnishings and other commodities would reduce prices 2 per cent this would reduce the farmer's expenses as much as a 25 per cent reduction in freight rates. 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 the future. They may be able to force a reduction in freight rates by using their influence upon the machinery of regulation, but if that reduces the efficiency of transportation the immediate 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 not in the farmer's interest. As his political leaders do not discuss that much, it is up to the farmer to look it up for himself. Just freight rates should be worked for, 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 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., still range at peak prices, and rates cannot safely be lowered until there is a reduction in these costs. "But that is a consideration the farmers will ponder very carefully, if they look to the future. They may be able to force a reduction in freight rates by using their influence upon the machinery of regulation, but if that reduces the efficiency of transportation the immediate advantage will be swallowed up sooner or later, probably sooner.

Just freight rates should be worked for, 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 servicer." A railway rate 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., still range at peak prices, and rates cannot safely be lowered until there is a reduction in these costs. Eighty-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 up for a rainy day. The Government turned the railroads back to their owners in 1920 with an average operating deficit of $45,000,000 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 1913, while the average wholesale price of all farm products was 42 per cent higher and the average wholesale 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 June, 1922, 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 to the railways, as well as to the public, but happily all signs point to a material improvement. "The estimated income of the terms of America for 1923 is a billion dollars in excess of their income in 1922" (Advertisement, The 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 as a whole." Give the railroads a chance. "Don't lessen their usefulness by impairing their earning power. They are 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 is worth. Starved railroads, like starved horses, cannot do good work. It is axiomatic that compensatory rates with good service are far preferable to cheaper rates with poor service. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. Omaha, Nebraska, November 1, 1923 C. R. GRAY President UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM
