INDICATIONS POINT
TO BETTER BUSINESS

The five per cent increase granted
certain eastern railroads will add from
thirty to fifty millions TO their receipts,
and enable them to purchase supplies
for betterment.
All this means a greater demand for
what Oregon has most to sell-timber
products of which the railroads have
always been the greatest purchasers
and the best customers of Oregon.
IL the interstate commerce commits
sion were not composed largely of poll
ticians and men of small caliber they
would have granted the increases on
western roads first as they need it
most.
Seven billion dollars worth of trans
continental railroads are coming daily
into more direct and deadly competi-
ti0n with the Panama canal built by
the government at cost Of four hondred
millions.
These transcontinental roads with
their long hauls, with their enormous
expenditures for upkeep through thinly
settled territory, are the properties
most entitled to government care.
The change in revenue returns for
railroads between two periods from
1899 to 1906, and 1906 to 1918, shows a
constantly diminishing rate of earnings
and constantly rising rate of costs.
The main fault of regulation has been
willful blindness of commissions to
such acts.

days in Indiana. With her husband,

ter's father, DR.. Nathanial Robbins,
she came to Oregon in 1852. Mrs.
Murray was then two years old. The
