TO RAISE FREIGHT RATES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-That a vast
and concerted effort by the railroads
TO make a general advance in freight
rates is being undertaken, is asserted
by State Railroad Commissioner Thorne
Of Iowa, who has just been elected sec !
ond vice president of the National As
sociation of State Railway Commits
sioners.
Information concerning this attempt
10 raise rates has been fltering into
Washington for some time. Shippers
are beginning to show restlessness con-
cerning it and the interstate commerce
commission is getting wind of it. Mr..
Thorn unh esitatingly declared such a
movement was on. Moreover, he saiG
the railroads have set out carefully to
pave the way for the increase by get
ting the public mind converted to the
idea the roads must have more revenue.
Mr.. Thorne cited the formation of
the bureau of railway economics, with
headquarters in Washington. This or
ganization, maintained by the railroads,
is sending out Systematically matter
which is calculated to prove the rail-
roads ought to have more revenue for
tNIc1Sl loHS anu
In other words" said Mr.. Thorne, "a
great and concerted campaign of pub
licity is now on for the purpose OF
opening the way t. general increase of
rates"
The only body that stands in the way
of effecting this increase, according to
MI. Thorne. is the interstate commerce
commission. He says the shippers
ought to be representing their side of
the case to the public.
Mr.. Thorne thinks it high time the
common folk of this country, the peo-
pie who will have to pay for higher
rates. were bestirring themselves about
a matter of the utmost economic i'm
rortance, a matter of which much is
likely soon to be heard in congress, as
well as before the interstate commerce
commission.

CAUSE OF DEFICIT
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-Po

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-PoIitical
campaign material transmitted free OF
postage through the mails accounted,
according to the records, for the diff
ference between a postal surplus and
a postal deficit for the last fiscal year
ended June so.
An account of franked mail forward
ed for congress, the executive depart
ments and other government institu =
tions, shows that postage at the ordi-
nary rate on this matter would have
netted the government S20,000,O0O.
About s3,25o,000 of this would have
been paid on political documents.
The postal service handled during
the year 310,24O,00O pieces of franked
mail, weighing S1,377,000 pounds. Dur
ing the presider tial and congressional
primary campaign in the last quarter
of the fiscal kear an extraordinary
amount of franked matter was sent
through the malls at public expense
This matter consisted of political re
ports and records of all kinds and even
of one complete political campaign
book, all of which had been made
technically fTankable by insertion in
the Congressional Record.
II was computed that the total weight
of this fran ked matter was between
100000 and 100000 pounds, all OF
which was transmitted as first class
matter
Commenting upon these figures Post
master General Hitchcock, who has
long urged that restrictions be thrown
around the use of the franking privi-
lege, said today:
The unusual expense entailed upon
the postal service through the trans
mission by mail of the great amount Of
political matter during the primary
campaign created a temporary deficit
for the first time in two years, the total
expenditures for the fiscal year of 1912
aggregating S24S, ,OOO, while the total
remenue amounted to S246,744,OOO Had
it not been for the cost of carrying
franked political mail. the postal ac-
count woud have been developed, not
withstanding the fact that the com.
pensation of postal employees was in
creased during the year by an aggre-
gate of $4,000. 600"
