shown by the published schedules on file
with the Interstate-commerce Commission
Ii Is shown even by the rates per ton per
mile. There is no doubt Of this increase.
IF one man owned all the railroads in
this country he could not charge what rate
he wanted 10. He would not be fool enough
10 make any sudden or marked advance.
What he would do would be 10 maintain
the present published rate. simple main
tenance Of the published rates would add
10 the net revenues OF the railroads OF this
country S2O.OOO0O0 a year On per cent.
basis that would add to the capitalization
Of this country $500 10000. It would put
into the pockets OF the owners Of these
stocks and securities 100000.
CARRYING COST LOWER.
1.-The cost of transporting traffic is de-
creasing every day. Grades are reduced,
curves cut out and the power Of locomo-
tives is increased. The carload of the
future will be 10000 pounds and one engine
can draw fifty cars from Chicago TO Buff
falo. In 1885 the average carload was 10000
pounds. The railroad would receive for
hauling a trainload s2.625. To-day the av-
erage carload is $1,000 pounds and the rail-
road will receive for hauling a trainload
$3.50. When the average load is 100000
pounds the railroad will receive for hauling
those fifty cars sS,725. Captain Graner,
manager Of the Lake Shore. testified that
on his line 30 cents a train mile would prob
ably cover the cost OF moving Taking out
the cost Of moving, the railroad netted
s21S5 for those fifty cars. A.7OO in 1900 and
will net $500 in 1910
There is another thing. The density Of
traffic on these railroads is increasing. and
as this increases it can be moved cheaper
The rate should decline Now, why, when
the cost of moving traffic is decreasing
when the density of traffic is increasing
when gross revenues are increasing and
net revenues increasing still more rapidly
why is 1t that the freight rate is also in
creasing? 1t is because you are removing
railroad competition. Competition is gone
forever in railroad transportation. You
cannot force the few men who own the
roads to fight one another. The only way
in which you correct these evils is to
exercise, in some proper form, supervision
over the railroad rate. You must provide
some tribunal which has the power to in
quire into the reasonableness of railroad
rates. and If 1t finds the rate unreasonable
TO make II right. While the unreasonable
rates and the unreasonable exactions Of
railroad companies have elected legisla-
lures. abolished courts. led to the most
violent political commissions, no real relief
has ever been obtained. The Supreme
Court of the United States has declared in
the most positive terms that the Legisla-
ture may either directly or through a COM
mission control the rates. with the limita-
ton that it must allow TO the railroad COM
pany reasonable compensation for the
services performed, and unless it does the
rates established are illegal ones"

Rehind in their Work.

The committee on streets today,
through its chairman, Mr.. Z. S. Lead
beater informed Mayor Simpson that
the officials OF the electric railway were
not proceeding with expedition in their
work between Columbus and st. Asaph
streets. The committee has observed
that the company has recently given
most of its attention to work on Cameron
street, which needed no hurry, while on
King street the process of laying the
new rails has been slow and when they
were laid several days elapsed before the
track was Strengthened. The city con-
tractors are hurrying their work and at
present there is a likelihood of them
being compelled to wait for the railway
company to complete its part of the new
improvement. Mayor Simpson signifies
his intention of taking the bull by the
horns. and when the street contractors
shall overtake the company's hands the
paving will be continued, even if it is
necessary to remove the track in order to
do so.
