up the alleged loss sustained in haul
ing freight at less than cost to and
from favored so-called water compe-
tition points. He added:
THE principal factors that govern
the making of railway freight rates
are precedent M monopoly. These
factors have been ever potent in guild
ing and influencing the officials
charged with the duty OF fixing freight
rates from the beginning of railway
transportation. The modes of trans
portation in use before the advent OF
railways were ships, boats and freight
ers, and the charges assessed by them
constituted a fair basis in aiding tho
railways in fixing their rates when
displacing them in the transportation
business. The more rapid transit OF
railway transportation rave this meth
cd a monopoly. Competing or addi-
tional lines adopted the basis estab-
Iished by the lines then In operation,
and so 1t continues today.
"A traffic official never concerns
himself as to the cost Of the 0
struction of the roa or the value or
price of securities when fixing a rate
to be charged; his inquiry is entirely
along the lines of the cost of trans
portation and the margin of profk
available at the point of consumption
after dedueting the approximate cost
of the goods at point of shipment ana
the transportation cost. BY this meth
cd he arrives at the margin of profit

ously i'm the same cars but they are

of inland towns affected by the back
haul charge. would not be offset by
the higher intermediate charges were
such tonnage handled at a loss. Nor
could the railways afford to handle
II at cost, as the difference between
the cost of handling to interior points
and the excess rate would be insuffi-
cient from which to pay dividends.
THE tonnage which railways handle
at cost or at a loss is what is known
as compromising tonnage. This ton
mage is in the nature of raw material
moved TO a manufacturing base where
II Is transformed into a high evenu
commodity ultimately transported to
other points on the line. The factors
that enter into the compensation Of
the loss is increased by inbound NOR
chandise and building material ship
ments for consumption and use by
increased population resultant from
the manufacturing plant and the out
put OF the factory, Such conditions
usually prevail in the handling of ore
for smelling.
THE largest item of cost OF trans
portation liz labor. Seventy per cent
Of the operating expenses OF a rail-
way are charged to this account.
Therefore. II can readily be deter
mined whether it costs az much to de-
iiNti kpbhS At al ihtti uituidAt as "
a more distant point.
1T Is a demonstrable fact that
where railways come into competition
with water routes they supplant them
as carriers, and the prosperous condi-
ton of the railways today Is evidence
that tonnage handled between ports
yields a profit. and this impels the
fact that the higher inland rate Is ex-
orbitant and should be legislated

tariffs would soon be convinced that
no scientific system prevails among
the railways for the determination Of
"A freight rate. IL is simply a matter
OF how much of a transportation
charge the traffic will bear: rate COM
petition among railways has ceased TO
exist. The securing of tonnage is now
a matter of solicitation and movement
and not of rates. as parallel lines
agree upon a date before It Is pub
lished. thereby the sense Of compe-
tition is eliminated.
"The only thing required to correct
the evil of a higher intermediate rate
Is the application Of the short and
long haul clause. now dead timber I'm
the law. This portion OF the law
should be emphatic in It's declaration
that a higher intermediate rate cannot
be charged. The railways are the
servants OF the whole people and not
operated solely to serve those favored
with water transportation, and they
should be made TO serve all equally"

goods, while other commodities not so
produced are charged a higher rate
for the same haul
practically all of the principal res-
sons advanced by railways for fix
ing of rates fail when tested. as the
logical bases have been supplanted by
monopilistic practLses.
THE origin of the higher interme-
date rate does not appear to have
been preconceived but rather the put
growth Of early transportation condi-
tons. Coast trade was the earliest
in the history of the country, and
the interior was developed by trans
portation lines being pushed inward
or across intervening territory to con
nect waterways. In instances where in
terror terminals sought trade that had
to be transhipped by water carriers.
the rail and water rates We're added to
make the through rates. Subsequent
ly, when the rail carriers, by ex-
tension of their service. came into
direct competition with the water
transportation the short haul rate to
the nearest tide water point was re-
tanned and added to the water rate
not secure any lower rate by tran
shipment. 1t was not a question OF
cost of transportation but a matter of
monopoly.
"Out of this practice has been
| evolved the sophistry of water compe-
tition and the pernicious tariff sys-
tenn that taxes a higher intermediate
rate than a terminal rate. This So
phistry is a good asset OF the rail-
ways, and hat Il is influential on the
minds OF men Is attested by the rul-
ings of the courts nuIlifying the ope-
| ration Of the ourth section of the in
terstate law which needs purged that
IT may bear fruit. The present COM
mission also has ruled that a specific
rate is the lawful rate. although the
intermediate rate may be higher than
another inland point where water
competition cannot enter.
THE vast expanse of territory. par
a~lleling the Pacific ocean from British
Columbia to Mexico. and extending
inland hundreds of miles, is mulcted
by the railways under the pretext OF
competitive water, rates. II Is an abb
solute impossibility for the railways
to show that sufficient tonnage moves
by water to govern rate making. Ac-
cording to the records of the custom
houses on the Pacific OF the tom
mage received in 1906 from Atlantic
ports did not exceed IN an average OF
10 car loads a day or considerably
less than s per cent of the business
handled by the railways.
