BUKE BUYS SELICA FtBM EIPEIISES UP, RATES OOm Wasteful and Conflicting Regulations Hamper Railroad Credit, While Ad* vance In Labor and Materials Out strips Revenues, Chairman Krutt- schnitt Tells Congress Committee. Unified Federal Control Will Impreve Conditions. WashlnRton, April 2.—The cinditlon In which the railroads find thonisolves as a result of coustant increases in wnsjes, prices of material, taxes and other expdises. while their revenues are restricted by legislation, was strlk- Infrly described by Julius Kruttsi huitt. Chalrmnn of the Executive Committee of the Southern Pacific Company, in his testimony during the past few days before the Joint Congressional Com mittee on Interstate Commerce, which Is making a .study of the question of railroad regulation. Mr. Kruttschnitt urged the committee to recommend a plan of regulation which will center res|»onsibllity for regulation and its results In the federal government, so that conditions affecting both expenses and revenues may be made subject to a uniform policy Instead of the w^aste- fnl and often conflicting policies In volved In the system of combined state and federal regulation. Why Reads Need Mere Money. Mr. Kruttschnitfs testimony also had a bearing on the reasons for the appli cation of the roads to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a general advance In freight rates. He showed that while the price of transportation has declined In recent years, t’le cost of producing transportation, like the cost of almost everything else, has rap idly advanced. This he Illustrated by showing that If freight and passenger rates had Increased during the past twenty years In the same proportion as average M>nMnodlty prices the railroads of the United States would have re ceived $l.(Ki4,000.(XH) more for trans portation in 1915 than they did receive. This saving to the public was effect ed, In spite of an increase of 93 per cent in the cost of operation of trains, by a reduction In the average passen ger rate per mile from 2.04 cents In 1895 to 1.98 cents In 1915. a decrease of 3 per cent, and by a reduction in the average freight rate per ton mile from 8.39 mills In 181»5 to 7.3 mills in 1915, or 13 per cent. During the same period the cost of operation per train mile rose from 92 cents to $1.78, almost doubling. At the same time the aver age price of 346 commodities enumer ated in a bulletin of the Department of Agriculture Increased 115 per cent. Transportation is practically the only commodity in general use that has not Increased tremendously In price during the past twenty years, freight and pas senger charges being low’er than they were twenty years ago. Big Saving to Publie. If rates had risen proportionately to the increase in the cost of other arti cles of ordinary use, Mr. Kruttschnitt told the committee, the average pas senger rate in 1915 would have been 2.95 cents a mile, or 50 i)er cent higher than it was, and the average freight rate would have been 1.21 cents, or 06 per cent higher than it was. The sav ing to the public in passenger fares through this difference was $314,000,- 000 and in freight rates $1,340,000,000. Universal railroad bankruptcy under this reduction in rates and increased cost of oi>eratlon, he said, was avoided only by heavy expenditures to obtain increased etliciency in train movement, making it possible to haul more tons of freight per locomotive. This had re- ducctl the average cost of hauling a ton of freight, but the decline in the average freigiit rate had reduced the net revenue of the roads from each ton hauled. If the ojierating costs of the railroads, including the prices of coal, labor and material, continue to ad vance at the present rate ® lot of rail roads will be in the hands of receivers by 1918 unless some relief is afforded, Mr. Kruttschnitt told the committee. “Owing to the rise of commodity prices.” he said, “the purchasing power of the dollar has fallen 55 per t ent and the railroads are in the position of be- kig compelled by law to accept pay ment for their service to the public in currency worth 45 cents on the dollar. Public’s Chief Interest. •“I’he public’s greatest interest Is in adequate transportation facilities and not so much in low rates. As to most commodities freight rates form a very small proportion of their cost. Ex cluding low grade commodities, the percentage of the freight rate to the cost is so slight as to offer no Justifica tion for any substantial increase In prices to the consumer. It may be stated with little fear of contradiction that the consumer seldom, if ever, (irofits from a lowering of freight rates. “Extortionate charges are fx thing of ihe past, and under the attempt to cut rates to their lowest possible figure the Interest of the whole public In the character and standard of transporta tion is subordinated to the Interest of that part of the public only that profits by lower rates—that is to say. the ship- perts and tbeir agents and not tlie g«i- cral public, the ultimate consumer.” Harry N. Blake, farmer and stock- grower of New Hampshire, has purchased from Rev, C. C. Dack- vrorth 9S acres of land at Selica. The most cf this land is tenable and in excellent shape. Mr. Blake has made quite a suc cess at farming and stockraising in New Hampshire. He has traveled extensively since ceasing operations in the New England states and was 80 impressed with this country up on his visit to his former neighbor, Frank D. Clement, that he decided to remain in this section. Mr. Blake is building on his property.
