Railroads Prosperous, Do Not
Need an Increase in Freight
Rates, A Asserts A ttorr1ey Thorne

WASHINGTON, oct. 3O.-There is
no Justification for the statement of
the railroads that there should be an
increase in freight rates because at
this time the credit OF the railroad Sc
curities is better than that OF any
other business interest in the nation
today, declared Clifford Thorne. at
torney for several western state rail-
way commissions and shippers or
ganiZatiOns, in his closing argument
in the five per cent case before the in
terstate commerce commission.
Mr.. Thorne IN opposing the plea Of
the 35 railroads for an increase in
freight rates cOntended that the argu-
ments had not been submitted TO JUS
tify the imposition OF an additional tax
burden upon the American people.
THE transformation of water into
gold is what such an increase would
mean" asserted Mr.. Thorne, land the
nation today Is not prepared 10 see
such a miracle performed. The rail-
road men come here today and ask
the commission 20 grant this addi-
tional freight tax and ask IL at a
time when their credit is not only
higher than that OF any other class
OF business. but at a time when their
maintenance standards are higher
than ever before and are being con-
stantly raised"
Atty. Thorne criticised counsel for
the railroads for presenting as a basis
for increase the records OF the west
ern railroads.
Mr.. Thorne argued that the railroad

had presented nothing to show the in
justice of existing rates and he said
he believed that the commission
would be departing from its previous
ruling If an advance over present
rates should be allowed.
George r. BrOwnen OF the Erie
made the concluding argument Of the
railroads he sought 70 show that the
failure OF the commission TO grant the
advance asked for would seriously
hamper the railroads in keeping up
their maintenance standards. He said
he could not see the pictured pros
perity Of the roads as described by
