DROP IN THE BUCKET! Southern’s lowered rates on gramrin.the Southeast showuwhat can be done nationwide! " Th<? savings to oo^lsupers from fihe 60 per cent reduction • Southern Railway has made in its grain freight rates 'are just a “drop in the bucket” compared to the savings that could be made in the nation’s total transportation bill. But these savings — already being felt in the South — will add up to an estimated $40 million annually. Especially will housewives' small businesses and farmers benefit—all of whom suffer mo6t when unnecessary regulation keeps f freight rates artificially high. These money-saving grain rates, as now fn effect, are spurring the development of a great new7, billion-dollar-a year cattle and hog raising industry in the-Softh. More and larger feed mills, feed lots and packing houses will be needed. “Family-size” farms now have a greater oppor tunity to profit and grow. New jobs are being created. Families will eat better at lower cost. And don’t forget — we’re talkingabout a-rate reduction on just one commodity in just'one section of the country. Vastly greater savings to consumers nationwide will re sult when all carriers are free to lower their rates on nil agricultural and bulk commodities. Unnecessary regula tion of reductions in freight rates is costing American consumers billion* of dollars a year.. These lations can be eliminated. In the public interest—in interest - they should be. Now! *
