THE RAILROADS, THE H. G. OF L
AND THE PUBLIC.

Pleading that the hlgh cost OF Nv
ing has burdened them as we'll AS 9th
ers, and that they have not teen per-
mitted to pass the burden an!n others
in the form of increased charges. the
railroads of the United States are be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion asking that they be allowed to
raise their rates five per cent.
In other words, the railroads have
been forced into the unhappy position
of the ultimate consumer, and they
don't like it.
Or, again, they find themselves in
the position of the worker who is
compelled to pay more to live and
who hasn't been compensated by
raise in wages.
ANYWAY. they don't like it. Meth
er do the consumer and the worker.
The most interesting thing about
the situation is that the railroads have
to ask the people-through their
spokesman for that purpose, the in
terstate commerce commission for
permission to do what few years
ago they did as and when they
pleased. That is, they raised the rates
whenever they felt like it, up to
"what the traffic would ear" and they
bitterly resented the notion that the
public had any rights in the matter.
Now the shoe is on the other foot.
The railroads must get the people g
permission, or they can't raise rates.
And that is as it should be.
If raise is granted, it interests ev-
erybody because everybody must help
to pay it. But if increased cost of
operation without fair rates cuTtails
railroad efficiency, everybody must
help pay for that too. The public can
not be unfair to their rail highways
without being unfair to themselves.
But when the high cost of living
without compromising increases in pay
curtails the efficiency-in workman
ship and citizenship-of the worker
society has to pay for that also.
Society, therefore, must be fair t.
both railroads and workers. And that
we are sure. is the pubic intention
If the railroads deserve higher rate:
the public wants them allowed tt
make them. If the situation calls fol
railroad economics rather than fol
rate increases, then the public want:
such economics insisted upon. But
the proposed increase is not great il
rate though vast in volume. Five PEI
cent should not rightfully make any
difference in the cost of any neces
sary Of life. On pair of shoes or {
suit of clothes or dozen eggs O.
three pounds of steak it will be so in
finitesimal that it can hardly be reck
oneved even in fractions. If the in
crease is granted it will offer no ex
cvse for manufacturers, wholesaler
and retailers raising prices all alonl
;he line.
On the whole, the probability seem
to be that the rate increase is JUST
fed, and that it will be allowed. Blu
is ought not to be allowed Unless i
is clearly justified, and it will not b
allowed unless the commission is con
WINGED that it is. That being the cas-
there will be no complaint from tn
public. The public knows how it i
about this high cost Of living bus1
ness.-Duluth Herald.
