The Express Rates Case

~ HE MERCHANTS EXCHANGE of New York is addressing ne
heads of the various Merchants Exchanges and mercantile
bodies over the United States in behalf of the matter OF re-
questing the interstate commerce commission to make a 1l mVesu-
CATION of the Justice and reasonableness of the entire schedule OF
rates charged by the various express companies doing business WITHIN
the United States. The Merchants Exchange of San Francisco is also
taking the matter up strongly, and in other cities meetings are being
held to consider the best manner of approaching the fight for lower
rates. The express companies are the most active antagonists of any
attempt to put a parcels post law into operation, which law would
generally reduce the cost of transportation of many of the small pack
ages that are now shipped by express at high rates.
In preparation for this undertaking the New York association
has compiled data which present a strong prima facie case IN support
of the proposition that current express rates are exorbitant. Some
of the conclusions of the association from these data may be quoted,
towit:
That the returns from capital actually and necessarily en-
poyed in the operation OF the express service are from 45 per
cent to 115 per cent or more.
That the rates which yield these excessive returns should
be reduced to a basis which would afford only a normal com
mercal profit on the fair value of the property employed.
That the present basis of rates, besides being excessive, is
false and unjust, as it imposes widely varying charges for
nearly identical services.
That the entire system of express rates should be readjust-
ed by the interstate commerce commission ON a basis which
shall provide for:
A. Transportation charges based on distance and grad
uated in proportion to weight, size (and possibly value in
certain classes).
B. Terminal charges, based upon wagon service, and APP
plying uniformly to all shipments, irrespective of the distance
between points of shipment and delivery.
c. Charges for care, based upon cost of such service.
The net income of three leading express companies, after the
deduction of operating expenses, in 1909 was as follows: Adams
50, 661 243 American, $~3,276,352; Wells Fargo, ~$4,664379. The net
earnings of the American IN that year were "A per cent on the actual
capital, and of Wells Fargo so per cent. Deductng 5 per cent as a
allowance for the investment in real estate, the earnings of
the American were los per cent on the otherwise invested capital, and
of Wells Fargo 20 per cent. 1t win not be disputed that the figures
constitute a strong presumptive ease in favor of reduction of rates.

.u.. 9 nov ventures and old ventures revived. The various
districts ~ the Western mining states seem to be in a more thriving
condition than at any time since the desolate fall o 1917. 1t has
a great manv wears to bring the East and the West together, but
are more united on the industrial field than ever before. To the.
mining industry falls a large degree of the credit for this union of
urn between the industrial resources of the West and the capital
of the East. This does not mean that the industries of the East are
neglected, or that the West is without capital of its own, but such a
large proportion of the eountry's population dwels beyond the Mis-
sissippi that one must naturally expect a larger proportion of the
capital for new enterprises to come from these thickly settled dis
tncts.
During the depressing times of two years ago a great many min
ing enterprises were forced to suspend operations, while others ceased
work in the midst of incomplete financial plans. Those that held on
have been showing signs of activity during the last few months, while
the revivals of this character have been the inspiration of other at.
temnts in practically new directions. One of the signs of the times is
the tendency of large capital TO take hold OF the mining business
While large capital has done this in the past, there are probably more
men of wealth now taking an interest in this industry than at any
time in the history of the country. Bankers of Wall street, city mr.
chants and professional men are in the business, and it is next to i'm
possible to keep track of the corporations that are founded in this
manner.
Probably there is no more fitting time for the establishment Of
Bureau of Mines at Washington, for this comes at a moment when a
very large share of our population is either already interested in the
mining industry or is attracted to it by irresistible force. The reason
for this, as we have often pointed out, is the prominence of mining as
q field for new ad. independent endeavor. Many OF the other indus
tries have consolidated opportunities for new starts out of existence
and those who are disposed to put money into ventures in which they
have some direct voice naturally turn to an industry that affords them
this opening.
A mine is where it is 1t cannot be moved. The business is not
centralized with ease. The miner must build where he can in the light
of the conditions. Thus the field has been slow to manifest those
typical tendencies of our times which end in the consolidation of
factories and shops and suppress what is not wanted. 1t is impos
sible to suppress a new source of mineral wealth. All the financial
power in the world cannot crowd out an opportunity to mine, if the
resources are present in profitable measure. 1t has been suggested

Better Days For Mining Industry.

located the principal mining territory of the nation. The Record

The Escort Company.
In 1876 Mai. Jones conceived the idea
of forming a company TO be known as
the escort company. 1t consisted of 80
men, one captain. sergean1s. and cor

presenting myself. the major informed
me that he had selected me, along with
two other men from company D. TO be-
come members of his escort; that he
would probably march on the following
day, and that 1 would be transferred
that evening, and to make my arrange
ments accordingly.
Born Nov f. 1856, 1 then lacked just
two months of being 20 years old, and
l remember how my heart swelled with
boyish pride at the thought of being
made a member of the escort. and from
that time on until Maj. Jones was made
adjutart general Of the state of Texas,
/ marched with this great captain all
over the greater part of the frontier
of Texas. from Brownsville to Red
river. and over a greater part OF the
plains. The escort, like NapoleOn's old
guard. camped around the major at
night and marched with him by day
