Eastern Railroads Seek Fed
eral Permission.
FAIL TO ATTRACT CAPITAL
Complain That They Are Hit by the
High Cost of Living, but Unlike
Others They Are Not Permitted to
Adjust Their Charges.

Washington. Nov 25.-Railroads of
the country have felt the burden of
the increased cost of living, like all
ether enterprises or individuals, "but
unlike all others have not been per-
mitted so far to raise their prices or
adjust their charges in recognition
of that burden Daniel Willard,
president of the Baltimore and Ohio
interstate commerce commission for
authority to increase freight rates
approximately per cent in the ter
ritory east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
Referring to the refusal of the
commission in 1910 TO grant 10 per
cent increase and the promise to re-
investigate the rate question in the
future should conditions warrant it,
Mr.. Willard asserted that operation
of the railroads during the last three
years was not such as to inspire con-
| fidence of private capital or encour-
age the support of private enterprise
1T is a mistake to think that the
problem is merely a question of divi-
dends to railroad stockholders, al
| though that feature is, of course, in
volved.
Problem of Great import.
"The problem in a broad and true
sense affects all interests, and the
outcome of this particular case
| whichever way it is decided-wil
mark an epoch, because it will
| In effect, very largely determine
| whether we shall as in the past con
| tinue to look to private capital and
private enterprise for our transports
| tion requirements, or be compelled
| finally to accept the only alternative
possible"
In presenting the facts upon which
| the railroads rely to prove the neces
sity for an increase in rates, Mr. viii
lard asserted that during the last
three years the railroads in the ter
ritory affected had spent in proper
ty investments $600,000,000, or at the
rate of s2O0,OO0,000 per year. Never
theless, he added, because of the
fact that operating expenses had in
creased faster than operating reve
nues these railroads earned in the
year ending June 80, 1913, less BY
$16,31I,321 than for the year eniin,
June 80, 1910.
Should the commission grant thu
authority for the increase by Eastern
roads it may extend the authority t.
the other railroads of the country.

GREATEST RACING IN FAIRS HISTORY

tract the Country's Best
to Hamline Meet.

The Minnesota State Fair offering
of $27,5OO in purses has attracted the
largest and best list of entries ever
made in the early closing events of a
race meet in the Northwest. Own
ers from twenty-five states and prov
inces of the United States and Can

events. With the entries in twelve
late closing events yet to come, it is
safe prediction that nearly 400 of
the country's best harness horses will
battle for supremacy over the famous
Hamline track in September.
Last years harness races at the
Minnesota State Fair were conceded
by all to be the best all around speed
