Mark citing Iotat1 Crops,

In lire with the classic case Of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley Of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle of the
Boston & Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate COm-
merce. Nothing could better show how
railroad works for the interest of
the localities which it serves
\ main dependence of the farmers Of
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight 10
ten million bushels which find q mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota.
toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun and
rains brought tremendous yield Of
potatoes from the Michigan fields. At
normal rates and prices there would
have been glut of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rot
ted on the farms. To help the potato
growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecedentedly low rates on
potatoes to every reachable market,
even carrying them in large quantities
to place so remote as Boston. The
Aroostook growers had to reduce the
Price Oh their potatoes and even then
could not dispose of them unless the
Boston & Maine Railroad reduced its
already low rate, which it did. By
means of these low rates, making pos
sible low prices, the potato crops of
both Michigan and Maine were finally
marketed. Everybody cats potatoes,
and that year everybody had all the
potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads. had they been applied TO
the movement of all potatoes at al.
times. TO all places. they helped their
patrons to find markets for them. The
Boston & Maine Railroad suffered de-
crease in its revenue from potatoes.
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby 10
obtain money which they spent for
the varied supplies which the rail-
roads brought to them. If tie making
of rates were subject to Governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is well established that il a
rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of Governmental proceed
ure. If the Michigan railroads and the
Boston & Maine Railroad had been
subjected to Governmental Limitation
they would have felt obliged to keep
up their rates as do the railroads of
France and England and Germany un-
der Governmental limitation and let
tho potatoes rot.-Exchauge.
