The number of stars in the union OF

added to the union of the flag and that

peop,e. for such roads diminish the
profits of the farmer because he must
haul fewer loads. make fewer trips
and market his products when the
roads are passable and not when
prices are best. They are burden
which compels the consumer in the
city to pay heavily. not to swell the
farmers earnings. but to help the
farmer to pay the money value OF the
absolute waste of energy and property
due to bad roads.
There would be an immediate and
tangible saving by road improvement
in reducing the cost of hauling. How
much this saving would amount to in
dollars and cents would depend upon
the character and extent of the i'm
| provement and the amount of traffic
passing over the road.
| In 1908 the railroads of the United
States handled about S00,O0OOO0 tons
of freight originating on the respec-
| tive railroads OF this amount about
2G5, 100000 tons represented agricul-
tural, forest and miscellaneous prod
ucts, all of which moved over the
country roads at initial or terminal
points or both
The average haul from farms to
shipping points in the United States
is about nine and one-quarter miles
The average cost of hauling on the
country roads is about % cents per
ton per mile. The total cost of haul
ing 265OOO,OOO tons would therefore
be about S216 per ton, or total or
$572. 100000.
The possibilities Of saving by the
improvement Of the roads may be IN
derstood when we compare the cost OF
hauling in Germany, France and Eng
land with the cost Of hauling in this
country The average in these three
countries is about 10 cents per ton per
mile, and in many cases it is as low as
Z cents. If we cut the rate in the
United States exactly in half by the
Improvement of our main roads we
would still be ~ cents over the aver
age for the three European countries
named. If we could do this it follows
that our annual saving would be In
the neighborhood Of 5OO00,G00 on
hauling alone
The wear and tear on horses anu
vehicles due to bad roads may seem
trivial matter until we take into con
sideration the fact that there are about
l25OOO.OOO horses and mules in the
, United States. valued at $2.71O.OaD.OOO
and about 1.5nn.nOO carriages. buggies
and wagons. valued at about SS3.OO0,

SHIPPING AGREEMENT
is FINALLY REACHED

Seattle. Oct. S.--The complaint of
the Spokane shippers before the
Washington Public service commits
sion was formerly settled by the
adoption of a compromise agreement.
the parties to which are the Spokane,
Seattle and Tacoma shippers, lthe
railroads engaging in rans-mountain
traffic, and the public service COM
mission represented by Assistant At
torney General Stephen V. Carey.
AS result of the agreement, rates
will be reduced on carload shipments
from coast points to Spokane, and
also on less than carload shipments
from the coast to interior. points.
Most of the commodities affected are
products of California that are ship
ped north by water. Spokane ship
pers agreed to give up the special
low rates now in effect to points south
of Spokane. and the public service
commission will amend its distribu-
tive rate order so that the distinctive
rates from Spokane will be on the
same basis as those from other cen
ters. The agreement provides that
the commodity rates from Seattle and
Tacoma to Spokane shall apply as the
maximum to all intermediate points
to Spokane.
The compromise agreement settles
a case that has been hanging fire the
last six years and is closely related to
the Spokane rate case before the In
terstate Commerce Commission that
has been fought for twenty years.
