Report OF Senator EIkins as the
Minority on the Famous
Rate Bill.
GOES BACK TO THE YEAR 1870
Shows a Big Reduction in the Cost
Of Travelling.
Also in the Cost OF Carriage of Freight
- Increase Of Capital Small
Since 1900 Z Compar-
atiye Figures.

Washington, FEB. %. = Senator
EllZins, of West Virginia, has just COM
pleted and filed in the senate his MI
nority report on the railroad rate law.
The report was nominally submitted
Jrne IS, 1906 but Immediately with
drawn for further elaboration. It now
presents a comprehensive history of
the economic development Of railroads
In the United States, together with ex-
haustive tables which tend to show Il
constantly decreasing freight and pas
senger rate, and the relation between
such rates and the price of commodi-
ties and cost Of lnbor. AS to the de-
crease in rates the report says:
Passenger and Freight Rates.
'"The average passenger rate adj
vanced slightly from 1870 to 1880. Dur
ing tho next twenty-four years there
was a decline amounting to 17Sj per
cent Of the average for 1880, the net
decline from 1870 to 1904 being 16.14
per cent. The decline in the average
rate per mile per ton Of freight, was
5S.71 per cent during the years from
1870 to 1904, the rate for the earlier
year being about two and one-half
times that of the latter and the net
saving to the shippers averaging 11.Q9
mills per ton mile"
Labor Grows More Efficient.
The report says that the cost Of
transportation in 1904 was nearly 81
000,OOO,O00 less than it would have
been had the rates for 1870 still pre-
vailed. The passenger business of 1904
exceeded that Of 1900 by more than %
per cent. while the freight increase
was 1929 per cent In comparison
with the Increase in wages of railroad
employees from an average wage OF
S567.25 In 1900 to $G3080 in 1904 the
report says that the service in 1901
was so much more efficiently organ
ized that the labor contributed by the
average employe accomplished % per
cent more in the movement of pas
sengers, and "a per cent. more in the
movement Of freight than in 1880.
The Lake County times., 1907-02-25
FIGURES ON CAPITALIZATION
Small Increase Since 1S9O-Compara-
tive Rates for Freight.

The report gives the total railway
capitalization June 80, 1904, Is S10-
T11,794.078, and says this amount Is
4.74 per cent. less than the commercial
value Of the railways as estimated by
the census bureau. Sin the face OF
the great improvement in railway
property since 1890" the report says,
''the relatively insignificant increase Of
5.31 per cent. in capitalization shows
a decided tendency towards more care
full methods of financing these proper
ties"
Compared with railroad rates abroad
the report says that "the figures in the
foregoing are undoubtedly significant.
They show that American railways
carry freight for rates that average
but 57.14 per cent Of the average
charged in France, $3.50 per cent. Of
that in Germany, 60.92 per cent. Of that
in Austria, 61.29 per cent. of that in
Hungary, about 80 per cent. of that in
Italy, and about 30 per cent. Of that in
European Russia. Since 1890 American
rates have declined 1915 per cent. f;
French rates. 1864 per cent; German
rates, S96 per cent; Austrian rates,
9.95 per cent, and Hungarian rates,
10.14 per cent"
AS to the increase in equipment the
report says that during the last four
teen years the increase in the number
OF cars and locomotives has been rela-
lively much greater than the mileage
increase. Besides, both cars and loco
motives are now much larger than for
utariv
